Right, so a lot of moaning minnies have complained I’m not updating enough for them. Damn you, you maniacs! And so forth. I’m just being busy and generally distracted, so before I continue the geeky listings, I thought I’d tell you why I’m distracted.

…one of the distractions is something I’ve been working on. Well, something someone else has been working on and I’ve jumped in to lend a hand. I’ve mentioned Gary before but never explained it. A couple of years ago he sent me a script I quite liked, and not so long ago he did it again! He’s come up with a nice concept that’s too good not to push forward with so, I’ve jumped on board to help out.

I’m not giving the concept away, but I’ve been writing and thinking and plotting for it all and how it’ll come together. He’s done the first few scripts, I’ve just finished a first draft of the fourth (well, a second first draft as the original first draft was lost forcing me to rewrite from memory and partially/mostly start from scratch) and despite me not being thrilled wiht most of it, I’m leaving it to be up for critique before I make any major changes.

What have I learned from this? Well, for one, I’m still trapped in the mindset of coming up with an idea and tying to revolve a plot around it to somehow get it all to make sense. I’m not sure if thats a good thing or not…

…anyway, the thing that started the story, which is yet untitled, was the common incident in my life of standing talking to people I don’t know. It happened not too long ago when it clicked that it was funny. A guy saw me Sauchiehall street and just chatted away. We talked about various things before we parted and I realised I didn’t know the guy at all. This happens to me a lot. Possibly because I’ve been kicked in the head and forget more than I remember.

Anyway, from that stemmed another idea, which stemmed a collection of illegible notes while on my way to a meeting which then resulted in a script – which only really made sense in context the second time around.

So yeah, I’ve been doing that. I’ve also been plotting and thinking, tinkering with Marty’s Sixth Doctor coat (which can be seen on ‘The Chat‘ – which you have to be a TM member to see), fixing my Year One outfit, and generally being brilliant.

Or not so brilliant, in a lot of cases.

I’ve also been not attending an event over the weekend. Which, after some bizarre and somewhat illegable emails from the organizer and a collection of personal attacks from his associates (the most recent being a novel of nonsense from a forum moderator), I’m not exactly gutted about. Considering the reviews I’ve been given personally, I think I was better off staying here writing and training.

The training part was quite interesting as Falcon taught me I can do some more things I never thought I’d be able to. Shame I can’t showcase them…

…and despite one or two people asking if I’ll be wrestling again or can once I give my knees time. I won’t. Before the Fife gig I was barely able to walk without falling over and when training before the match I wasn’t even able to run the ropes without stumbling, which is why I didn’t unleash some of the things I wanted to save for that day, such as the Picard Maneuver. Which is pretty awesome, for my lazy ass anyway.

BUT! I’ll still be around with Falcon and Junior and editing/blogging away at SWA Online. So fear not.

I could say more, but I’m in a hurry. I’m also bored. If you have me on Facebook, you’ll have seen the message – but for anyone else…

…my inbox is filled with spam. I want real messages that will amuse and entertain me. So far I’ve had jokes, filth, conversation and videos – more of that is good. james.tyler@thepicardmaneuver.com

You know you want to.
