It's 4 a.m. I am sat in front of a computer despite being told at 11 p.m. that I should go to sleep for a week.
Didn't sleep well last night either. Eyes open sometime after three in the morning and I just couldn't go back. Two nights with about two hours sleep. "Cuntmuffins" is the only available word. Was going to write tonight but I got a pizza and set down to watch something before doing so, so I had had food.
Three and a half hours later, I was able to summon enough energy through tiredness to turn off the TV.
So no writing tonight or last. This puts me under target. Hopefully going to make that up over weekend. If I sleep tonight.
In other news: I feel good as I got a big cheque. I hope that this lasts, but given my violent mood swings of late I doubt it will.
In the event of a zombie infestation, who would you recruit, why, and where would you go? How long do you expect to survive? Assume long-distance comms and international travel are out of the picture.

We've discussed this situation many times in the flat.
We've worked out improvied weaponary, and where we could get more.
The plan all depends on what type of zombies.
Shufflers are the easiest to deal with, in general.
and you have my permission to take it should i ever be zombiefied
mind you that would mean getting into the middle of edinburgh to get it (i suggest the rail lines)
As to where we'd go, first stop, storage facilities foras many coffee-beans as we can take. It ain't worth surviving if the coffee's shit. That's final. After that, Carbisdale castle up near Dornoch. Defensible, large, quite remote. And possesses some rather fine facilities. Assuming we got there and picked up a few extra useful people on the way, I'd estimate a healthy survival probability until supplies ran out.
We also have convenient access to food (Scotmid just across the road) and antibiotics (chemist shop below), so location-wise we're in a relatively good position.
The van is parked a bit of a way away, but if we could get that round the front of the building before the zombies got here that would be a convenient method of escape for probably up to 20 people (we only have seatbelts for 8 people, but I'm assuming that in case of zombie attack that wouldn't be anyone's first priority.
The medieval group would be a good starting point for zombie infestation problems - in that we all have some weaponry of our own and at least understand the principles of seige tactics.
Other than that a generic phone around to see who was available and could potentially be collected by van would be a good plan - though this place can get a little snug with more than 30 people in it... :-)
But you never know who might turn out to have the key piece of knowledge to solve the problem, so getting as many people as possible in the same place is probably the way to go at least initially.
However, being stubborn as hell, I'd retain just enough sentience to be a prick and hunt down all my remaining mortal friends. They'd get the humor of it, I'm sure.
Stew, has anyone ever mentioned that you look like Richard D. James?
