The problem with blogs, or more accurately the problem I have with blogs is that I never know what to write about. This is of course evidenced by the rather limited selection of posts here on Automatonrevolution. My first blog, the origional “Storm in an Ale Mug” sort of degenerated into a political bitching session, and even I can’t bitch about politics and war indefinately (some people will laugh at that statement…:P).

The thing is, I have lots of things I want to write about..but I don’t know what to give lots of space to, and what should only get a passing mention. I mean, theres the coolness of the World of Warcraft CCG, theres the very enjoyable weekend I recently spent visiting Dave and Kai, theres the pleasant suprise that has been the last few train journeys I’ve taken (weakened slightly by a growing rant about Railway stations), theres Mums new telly, theres the last few days where I spent time with Mum and the doggies….

You see the problem.

Oh sod it.

The World of Warcraft CCG is very cool. I love it, it has me hooked, much like the online game has…(and I can’t wait for January when the Expansion for that gets released….) its fun, has cool cards, and I can manage to make a decent deck with it, which makes a nice change.

I had a lovely time visiting Dave and Kai last week, it was very nice to just be able to chill with two very wonderful people who happen to be very good friends…even though it rained lots. Im actually sort of happy we didnt do lots and lots of stuff, because sometimes its nice to be able to relax in good company, you know? So..much huggness being sent in their general direction.

What suprised me about the train journeys to and from Cheltenham, and also the more recent one to Lanark, was how they were a) On Time, b) Clean (very clean) and c) Relativly comfortable. I’ve been on longer journeys to and from London that have been the equivalent of distilled Hell..but these ones were actually almost enjoyable. Of course, it helps if theres a big smile and a big hug waiting for you at journeys end…

I’ll save the rant about railway stations for another time…I think.

Mum has a new telly…and its huge. Well…huge-ish. Well, I think its pretty big. Its a 26 inch LCD screen and its very cool. had a lot of fun setting it up with the DVD/RAM recorder thingy she got with it, and playing with buttons. The manual reads like the instructions for the Warp Core on the Starship Enterprise (ie, is completely useless unless you already know everything about the telly already). but its still very nice.

Weekend with Mum was nice in general, in fact. Both Rowan and Corrie were there (Rowan is Mum’s crazy crazy Collie, and Corrie is my sister’s crazy crazy Westie “Who knows No Fear!!!!”), so it was Doggie chaos, and lots of fun. especially the way the two of them were playing a sort of “cold war” over this one special squeaky toy…very funny to watch.

Um….running out of words now….

Okay…so I could go into lots more detail on most of these subjects…but Im sure you get the gist….
