I seem to be blogging again, inspired by Gary’s daily blogging, I assume. Despite the fact that Saturday saw the demise of the PC. I’ve tried everything to fix it. I’ve thrown things at it, took it apart, cleaned it, shouter at it. Nothing seems to work. So the laptop is being shared with myself and Raven – and as she posts a lot of news, I’ll be offline a bit more (which may be less of a distraction).

Anyway… I posted something on Facebook on Saturday night/Sunday morning (one of them) which inspired me to ask the Glasweigans (or anyone really) about your encounters with the local types who ask for change, come out with bizzarre challenges, try to engage you in baffling conversation or are just generally odd. So if you have a story, comment away! Until you do, I’m going to share some of my own…

Heading back to the world of science fiction before returning with the comedy run (mainly because I made a shitload of notes and haven’t went through them yet) my Enterprise mini-rant inspired me to look towards the leaders in sci fi. The men who are often the central focus of the show, the decision makers and the men who sit in the big chair (if they get a chair) making all the tough choices.

Oh yes, the captains. Thinking of Enterprise and how Captain Archer seemed weak, uninspiring and so downplayed that he bored my super-sexy Batman pants of me, I began to think of all those characters which were truly captivating through the writing, the performance and transitioned from being mere characters on a screen, to men of legend.
