Good Blog-keeping

For those of you who have missed my numerous subtle (and less than subtle) hints, I recently started a new film blog called 7 Films, 7 Days, in which I plan to post a film review for each day of the week for as long as I can stand it. You can find the blog here, and follow the associated Twitter stream here.
Consequently, any film-related news will henceforth be blogged about (and tweeted) through the 7 Films alter-ego, leaving Ebonics and Irony focused on my other interests, chiefly fiction writing and music. The film blog gives me something to work towards, but more importantly helps to overcome my writer’s block.
The next couple of chapters for Horns Of The Apocalypse are on the way, although I’m ditching the World Cup setting in favour of a more generic “ooh aren’t all massive sporting events a load of old bawbags” tip. I might even start using this as a ‘proper’ blog, too. You lucky lot.
Anyway, thanks for reading. Keep watching this space for the next phase in my no doubt riveting adventures.

Questions Meme
Questions care of
retromorphosis, long overdue answers care of me.
1. What advice would you give your ten-years-ago self?
Read between the lines, dipshit. You have at least three girls who are interested in you, so forget that horrendous ex and enjoy yourself. Stop playing Ultima Online, get out more and change your degree to something you have a remote interest in. You can learn what you need to know about computers on the fly.
Oh, and whatever you do, don’t go to the free bar at the end of the year. You’ll lose friends over it. Best to quit drinking now – it’ll save you a world of hurt in the long run.
2. What’s your biggest guilty pleasure?
Really awful, unhealthy food. Always has been, probably always will be. I tend to repent after the act, but there are days when I will eat enough junk food to last a fortnight.
3. If you had to join a recreational team in any sport, which would it be?
I used to play rugby when I was in school. I had the size and weight advantage, and could take a knock. Never had much enthusiasm for it, it was just something to do. I’m not competitive enough for team sports, and I hate playing something I’m crap at (e.g. football).
If I had to choose something, it’d be something crazy like competitive dancing or the like. When it comes to sport, I prefer to do it on my own. I’m a team sport spectator! Ha ha.
4. What’s the best cure for a hangover?
I never get them, believe it or not! Well, maybe once or twice in my entire life, but I’m usually lucky enough to avoid them. I quit drinking a few weeks back, with the serious intent to stay sober for good, so I doubt that’ll change any time soon
5. Why won’t you ever come to Del’s with me anymore?
