Today I have deactivated my facebook account. Probably only for a week, but who knows really? The point is that I’m doing it to see whether it’s really as much of a drain on my time as I think it is. Quite often I’d just log onto facebook and just mindlessly sit there doing nothing for ages, getting no writing done as I did. There’s a lot of writing to be done this year, especially since, annoyingly, I’ve recently discovered that the idea for the sitcom I’d finished has already sort of been done about 30 years ago. At least, I think it has, I’ll probably need to do more research into that. There are lots of other ideas to be worked on anyway, so with any luck, not being on facebook should help me do a bit of this.

So far in my time away from facebook I’ve not done too much of any great use, but then, to be fair, it’s only been about 4 hours. I’ve looked for laptops, and think I’ve decided on the one I’m going to get, so will try and acquire that within a week or so, which should allow the Llamageddon podcasts to get back on track. Though the recording quality from recording on a laptop will probably be lower, it’ll be both cheaper and easier than recording in a studio which we’d have to book in advance. We’ll be able to record wherever, which will mean we’ll hopefully be able to get them out fairly regularly. More regularly than the ‘once every 4 months’ average that we managed last year anyway. Being able to record anywhere also gives us the scope for more interesting things. Potentially. I say interesting things, in reality this’ll probably just be us sitting in a bar recording as we get progressively more drunk, leading to an altogether more aggressive version of ‘Jafar? Cakes?’ in which every incorrect answer is punished by a chair being thrown. Exciting.

In other news, the company I went to for an interview last week haven’t contacted me at all. This is very good news. It means they’re obviously taking their time drafting a lucrative contract full of exciting benefits. I can’t wait for it to arrive. In the meantime, I’ve got some exciting yoghurts in the fridge, some of them are chocolate, some of them are toffee. It’s really very exciting if you like toffee and chocolate, which I kind of do, so maybe I’ll treat myself to one of those later.

I can see that at some point in future, I’m going to have to make a blog post titled ‘yoghurt experiment’. I probably spend more time discussing yoghurts and eating them than I do on facebook. That’s the real drain on my time.

Anyway, things to do this week:

- Try and finish this new sitcom.
- Book some more stand-up gigs.
- Eat a yoghurt (I’ll tick this one off fairly soon).
- Maybe have some port? Does port assist with writing? Find out.
- Build a fort. A writing fort.
- Have some port in your writing fort.
- Find something else that rhymes with port. Incorporate it into your fort.

I’m an ambitious man.
