Dreadful Clarity

I am looking at the world with a dreadful clarity.  It is the horrendous unaltered vision of the thoroughly sober. I've been off the pop since the start of the year and will continue to stay dry until the end of April (give or take a week).  this is all done in the hope of shedding a few pounds before the wedding in June.

So far it is working. The beer belly is shrinking and we are only halfway through the challenge.

Fuck me...another two months of this?!

Ah well.

Got myself a PS Vita this month.  It is the new version of the Sony PSP and it is really rather wonderful.  There has been a lot of online debate about the relevance of the machine in light of the fact that smartphones provide ample collections of games.  The argument is that gamers are used to playing short bite-size puzzle games that cost 69p.  Who is going to pay £40 for a handheld game?   To me this argument misses the crucial point - playing games on your phone is shit.  Angry Birds can fuck right off and any game that tries to recreate a joypad on a touch screen simply sucks the joy from playing.

The Vita feels amazing, it looks amazing and it plays amazing.  'Nuff said.

Almost finished the final draft of the first episode of Scoundrels.  I should get that done this weekend.We will then be in a position to send it off and see what response we get.  That'll be interesting.

That's all for now.
