* I just discovered that Warren Ellis (the author of the appallingly brilliant novel, “Crooked Little Vein”) will be publishing a novel in the beginning of August. It’s called “Listener” and it’s supposedly a 304 pages long post-apocalyptic SF novel. Keyword: Warren Ellis is teh hawsome, and so should “Listener” be.

* The best christmas present I got last year was without doubt a subscription to the british magazine, “SFX”. I got the first issue a couple of days ago, and lo did it contain everything a geek could wish for: An interview with Joss Whedon about the upcoming show “Dollhouse”, a story about Joe Hill’s new comic “Locke & Key”, an in depth look at Richard Matheson’s classic “I Am Legend” (the book) by none other than Christopher Priest, a weekly comics column penned by Warren Ellis and much, much more.

* My New Year Resolutions are both holding up. It’s getting increasingly easier to not eat sweets and chocolate, but lately I’ve been getting these weird dreams where I do nothing but stuff my face full of ‘em. This is disturbing, to say the least.

“Not Buy Any Books For Two Months” is going to be retitled to the much leaner and nicer looking, “Not Buy Any Books For Two Months, Except New Releases That You MUST Have”. The difference between these two resolutions is the fact that I always read new releases as soon as I can get my hands on them. Other, older books have a tendency to lie around for while, thus increasing the looming size of my Stack.

* Speaking of book reviews and other non-school related miscellany; I’m going to have to cut back on them these next few weeks. I’m trying to summon the will to learn anything worthwhile about cars so that I may pass my driving test without too much trouble or stress. This will affect “A Slight Apocalypse” to some degree, but I’ll still make a point of posting as often as possible. Maybe it’ll help me to be more succinct, which is a trait I’d very much like to acquire.
