You should all follow Warren

I'm failing a lot at blogging these days. I haven't added anything to my writing blog in ages. My gaming blog is sadly neglected, despite the fact I've played some awesome games recently. And the others are just as bad, but at least I don't feel like I have content for them.

This blog has also been neglected. Every now and then I've popped in and added the small collection of Alice references I've amassed, but nothing else. This is what working has done to me. While I do still have a fair bit of free time (much more than other people do), I still waste a fair bit of it. I fall into bad habits where I prefer to just wander the internet or watch TV rather than do things like read or write or create. I hardly even play games as that requires me to take an active role.

I need to change this. There's so much I can do that I just never get round to. I need to get shit done! I've no idea if this will happen. We'll just have to wait and see.

In other news, I have fallen in love with Twitter. While I've neglected my other web presences, my Twitter has become more active than ever. It's a constant source of quick little bits of amusement and I follow some awesome people. Maybe one day I'll work out a way to do something awesome with it. Something more than just talk about how tired I am or how I'm eating something nice. Whatever it gives me and whatever I do with it, I love it. Follow me.

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 107: And again discovered via Twitter (but also via my RSS subscriptions). It was Lewis Carroll's birthday the other day. Zoetica made a blog post about it and linked to a Coilhouse post. She also tweeted this image:

So finely surpassed
