So, in 2009, according to my bookkeeping over at LibraryThing, I have read 60 books (let's face it, I'm not going to finish Black Man, Best Served Cold or Bolo before the New Year party tonight). Of those, 43 were fiction books, 5 were short story collections, 1 non-fiction, 1 play, 5 RPG Books (+one of the short story collections was technically an RPG source book), 2 graphic novel volumes, 1 Firefly reference book and 2 cookbooks.

One of the good things about Twitter Is that I can relegate immediate thoughts to it rather than a full blog post. It also means I can blog on the go via my mobile. It also means that I can use those on the go thoughts to structure a post such as this one about the trip to Stratford-upon-Avon to see Hamlet. So, without further delay I wish to present TwitterExpanded...

yay - I'm going south and the rain's going south... wait... not yay!

Dear Noel and Julien,

I love The Mighty Boosh. I got into it in series one. I have since brought the DVDs and the CDs of the radio show. Lacking a time machine I am however unable to experience early Boosh at the Edinburgh Festival. I did get to see you on your last tour when you came to Warrington and did a fantastic show (now Leeds and sheepshagger are permanently linked in my mind). I was worried when you left the Zooniverse for series two, but it was a triumph. Series three equally good.

So, today was Mother's Day. My mum had her parents over for a trip to see The Reduced Shakespeare Company do The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) and I went along as well. Not sure it was as good as the last couple of times. There have been some changes which were very funny, but they seemed to lose some stuff just before the interval. Also, one of the actors didn't seem able to project his voice very well. Which was great when he was behind a small puppet stage 8-).
