Fantastic February? (Blog 181)

This month has been a particularly unspectacular one, when you consider the fact getting my medication from somewhere other than usual was one of the most notable things about it. Making things worse, a triple birthday celebration had to be cancelled due to family illness. Not to worry there was always pancake day! Only my dad forget the ingredients, so I settled instead for an Oreo chocolate egg. Pretty good though. Switching subjects from tooth-decaying treats to tooth decay in general, unfortunately my front gnashers have been hurting recently when pressure is put upon them, but to be fair, why do I need to put pressure on them? So who cares? Over the last few days, the pain seems to have gone down, but is that because of my special sensitive teeth toothpaste?? I hope I got better naturally, as that suggests everything’s ok, longer term. Of course it’s very selfish of me to want a perhaps very effective toothpaste helping millions to be rubbish, but deep down I hope it is. But only in a way. You know what, I actually hope I got better naturally AND the toothpaste works. So everyone wins.

As I’m typing this up, I’m REALLY hoping to see my family later on in the week. Probably no party, but it would be something. I mean there’s having a rough month and then there’s sensory deprivation. I sometimes wonder how well I’d handle solitary confinement if I ever had the urge to rob someone then attack a prison guard, but fortunately those crimes seem unlikely to happen in my current mental state. Give me a pen and paper and I may even be reasonably happy there, just saying. But again, not going to happen. BUT some of the standups I reviewed for my 30th Facebook contest, coming up in April… My word! All going to Hell. Well some of them anyway. Hmm, what else? Ok, you know when I was talking about collaborating with the Comedy of Gamers project? Well, I was given an empty chart to fill in which will describe the structure of potential episodes. To make my writing snappy, I was told to fill each part of it with just one sentence. Pretty tricky, but I found a loophole: Writing flipping long sentences. I’m talking sentences with 100 words. (Ok, slight exaggeration). Sure, they’re a little confusing to read, but still acceptable, technically speaking. Not exactly fascinating but I guess KINDA funny?

What else, again? Hmmm… Ohhhhhh, I remember. Recently I thought I was going to get done for speeding because my Satnav told me the wrong speed limit. It seems I slowed down in time for the police camera, because I haven’t got a fine. At least not yet. A harmless error, or something more sinister? Maybe technology’s way of getting back at humans? Sounds crazy? Well consider this: How do people treat computer characters in games? Often pretty badly, right? I mean in Sim City, you can flood your city, have digital people die in plane crashes, start fires… That’s got to tick computers off, hasn’t it? So now they’re getting back at me. And it’s not a one off thing, either; my Satnav told me to do an illegal U-turn. That’s especially terrifying when you consider computers also control nukes. Ok, that’s all I can think to write about. As I said my family may or may not come to visit, but if they don’t I won’t blog about it (because it would be impossible) and if they do, I probably won’t blog about it, because who cares? Bye!
