Funny. No matter how busy I am, there's always room for another TV show in my life so long as it's decent enough and Game of Thrones is turning out to be a pretty big deal. Superb production values and a killer script have given it the edge over much of the other spring competition and although Doctor Who has begun in fine style, both Supernatural and Fringe are nearing the end of the road.

Swords, wolves, magic, big horses, beards, fighting, buxom wenches, a dwarf and a barren snowscape as a backdrop. What's not to like. It's pretty grown-up though if you're thinking the kids might like it…

Busy day yesterday - sent away the pre-final pages and cover proof designs for The Language of Thieves & Vagabonds and Black Dye, White Noise. I thought I was much further away from finishing them than this but hard copy proofs will put me well ahead of the game...

During the up and downloading of proof files, I happened to come across a decent online store facility that does what an online store is supposed to do, so I guess an amount of hours over the next few weeks will be dedicated to branding it properly and setting up 'stuff'. With so much at your disposal on the web these days, it's no wonder we all have multitudes of pages that do very little in the big scheme of things.

As part of my abandoning of facebook, I've spent the last week hiding all comments that come up on my friend-feed to see if I've really missed anything - and I haven't. Which got me to thinking, a much better (totally selfish) way to use facebook would be to simply switch everybody off so that when I go on there, I can see if I have any messages and leave without getting involved in what's going on in the 'street'.

I'm still not entirely sure why I'm so reticent to dump the bitch.

File under pending!
