I'm running out of things to do.

Went into town at lunchtime on Friday and bought "Ash: A Secret History", which seemed like a nice thick book which should have kept me occupied for some days. By the time I went round to the Gallery on Sunday, despite having also done all sorts of intensive geekery during the weekend, I'd finished it. Sometimes I wish I didn't read quite so fast.

Also my two-minute break activity of choice, when I'm sitting at a computer and don't immediately have the energy to do some work, has been to play Gnome Iagno (Othello/Reversi clone). Today I managed to defeat it by 51 pieces to 1 (with 12 squares left unoccupied on the board and no further moves available to either player, which was sort of fun) and then in a subsequent game I wiped all its pieces out totally. I think this is as good as I'm realistically going to get playing against this thing, so I either need a better computer opponent or a new game of some sort.

Honestly. If this goes on, I might actually have to find something productive to do...
