Entry for 15th December, 2007

Well - the proofs for the book are revised and dispatched to the publishers, and I feel a huge sense of relief as they wing their way to Edinburgh. I even bought a stupid computer game to celebrate and allowed myself the luxury of a couple of hours pointlessly sending pixelated medieval armies to their doom. It was a total waste of time and it was lovely to waste it.
I am not normally particularly keen on computer games. I am not really a man who needs to find more ways to fill his time. Computer games seem to be particularly dangerous territory for a person with obsessive personality traits. I suspect that way lies redundancy and probably the divorce courts. Already I can sense I will have a sleepless night, thinking about battle tactics for tomorrow's battles on the laptop. Oh dear.
I should really focus my attention on casting "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". I already have a few of the key parts filled, but I'd like to get everything sorted within the next month, so that I don't need to worry about it as rehearsals approach.
Still there's plenty of time. Time for one more assault on the Saracens...
