In case you were wondering…

A quick progress round-up on a few past blog posts, for anyone whose curiosity has been piqued but not quite satiated (for some strange reason) by what went before...

Jo and I finally got to the New Model Army exhibition back in February. My favourite exhibit was the original (a.f.a.i.k.) hand-written lyrics for one of NMA's signature songs: 'Vagabonds'. I did take a photo, but the glass case caused a double exposure (or something) so it came out blurry, which was a shame...
HBO are still talking about the forthcoming TV adaptation of Preacher but there are no definite details on their website yet.
So far my Year of the Short Story has gotten off to a slow start... too many great new must-read novels coming in, dammit.
The Test-Tube Alien eventually grew to fill its tube, becoming some sort of horrible, twisted, mutant alien in the process. Which is all to the good, I suppose. Eventually the light on its forehead stopped blinking. But that was a long time after I'd stopped caring...
And three months after my team, Bury FC, were kicked out of the F.A. Cup on a paperwork technicality, we're now 19th in League Two - having achieved the dizzy heights of 9th before this all happened - and haven't won a game in our last 16 outings. You tell me, do you think the team's morale was adversely affected by the F.A.'s decision at all? There's lots more I could say on the subject, but I suspect you'd rather not hear it. Maybe James Barclay will give me a guest slot on Barclay Talks Sport and I can vent my spleen there...
But hey, at least we've finally finished the decorating! Well, apart from a bit more snagging. But all the large areas of wall that need painting are painted. So tonight, after the gym, Jo and I will be girding our collective loins for a trip out to buy new bookcases for the dining room. From Ikea. Wish us luck...
