Hi all. I am currently taking a break from typing up the Seven_Deadlies series of prose/poem things. I have also been taking photos and so on which I will put up in due course. Currently I have only Wrath and Pride left to do, although all the little characterisations are done. Unfortunately, the Lust picture is the worst, I think, which is sad because it's the best of the poem things.
Going to my great-uncle's funeral today, which is kinda crap, and I have to go to a meeting tonight which will be unpleasant to say the least. I think it will get nowhere. At all. Oh well. On the plus side, I have more money than I thought, and my creative drought has ended (for the time being - I wrote four of the Seven_Deadlies things the other night in one spree of whateveryouwannacallit...).
In other news, I have been reading more Sherlock Holmes, which I am still loving, and am almost finished The Return of Sherlock Holmes. I wonder every time I pick the books up why on earth no-one has made a TV series based around the short stories, most of which are an ideal length to fill a half-hour/hour episode. Just out of interest, I think that the best actor in both stature and mannerism to play Holmes would be Robson Green, from Wire in the Blood (here is the best picture of him to looking Holmes-ish that I could find). I imagine him as Holmes and I think he'd set it off. I am a little stumped on who should play Watson, although after a great performance in Dr. Who and Life on Mars, I think that John Simm would make a great Professor Moriarty.
All in all though, things are going pretty well. Oh, by the way, it is freaking freezing here in Newcastle, and I am currently wishing for a warmer climate, which is odd. Trouble is, we haven't had a chance to slowly adjust - it's been really hot, then freezing. Hurrah. Not...
Have a great day. Blake.
PS - I was greatly excited by news of a certain book coming out this year, although what it was, and who it was by escapes me entirely. This year sees so much awesome stuff coming out, I really need to make an Official Blake-ified List Of 2008 Awesomeness. So I can keep track.
PPS - I am really excited because Neil Gaiman is in the country. And next Tuesday evening, at 6 pm in Kinokuniya Bookshop in The Galleries Victoria in Sydney, I am going to hear him give a talk and do a signing. Hurrah! (If you want to go, and happen to be reading this, go back a few posts and I have listed a booking number for the bookshop...). His The Graveyard Book comes out September 30th. And that is not the book I forgot.
PPPS - This is going to annoy me all day now...
