As I sit here to write this post, one thing occurs to me. I'm getting old. I used to be the case that going to work after staying up all night doing stuff was not a problem, back in my Games Workshop days it was regularly the case. Games Day's in particular we would stay up all night, then take a coach load of overly excited and sugared teenagers up to Birmingham, spend the entire day feigning excitement and shouting "4 plus" across a battle field with a level of enthusiasm bordering on insanity, then somehow manage to reassemble the same frothing childlings that we had brought with us, pile back onto a coach with a decidedly more pissed off driver, drive back to the store, deliver the child matter to their parental units, the get home for about 10pm. Sure that would be a tiring day, but I thrived on them.
Last night I went in to London with some mates, saw a band in Camdon (I know its Camden, but I like calling it Camdon OK?) caught the last train home and went to bed at 2:30am. I then got up, as usual at 6am and came to work. I am now sat here in front of my computer, several coffee's later, trying with all my might to keep my eyes open.
My conclusion is this, at some point, quite without my permission, I have gotten old and am therefore incapable of doing such things as going out and having fun without dire consequences.
So why blog about this? Well the reasons are 2 fold. Firstly I was going to write not one but 2 blog posts today. One of which was intended to be a review of "The Box", the second was a general geekdom update. Secondly, as if to prove my point, I cant remember what my second one was. The point being, that my brain has rebelled and I am pretty much incapable of stringing together a coherent sentence, either typed or spoken. I was tempted to post this unedited, but honestly it was so rife with miss typings and miss spellings that it made pretty much no sense at all.
On the plus side, writing this has kept me awake for a few extra minutes, which unfortunately, today's subtitling task was not. If I remain awake much longer, I will attempt another more exciting post later.
