I must start READING again. It worries me—I'm the sort of person who used to read a book a day, but now money is an issue, it's been a vice i can no longer indulge in. I must start going to the library again—although they have few of the books I need for reviewing.

My e-reader is dead. I knew it was a mistake to get one, as electronics and me are a disaster made in hell—it turns on, but the touch screen is no longer working. I shall try and send it back. I am furious at myself for wasting all that money on one. I knew I shouldn't have.

The whole exclusive platform thing with videogames really irritates me. I do understand that one or other console might like exclusivity for a much-hyped game, but these contracts shouldn't be forever, they should only be for six months or a year perhaps at most and then let everyone else have it! I will NOT WILL NOT ever be buying an Xbox (well, perhaps five years in the future, when I can get one for £20) just to play games that I can't get on the PC or PS3. Right now I'd LOVE to play the Fable games but I can't – I can play Fable I but II is only on Xbox. Although they say that Fable 3 may come out on the PC in 2011…but no official announcement yet.

oh and this is why I want to play Fable 3.

But bloody hell I don't want to play it on the PC! i hate all the buttons you have remember – I like a controller!

And I've just discovered Alan Wake (which no one bought, it seems) also only available on the Xbox.

And while I'm at it, I'm fed up with Jimmy Wales begging for money on Wikipedia. And Lambda Literary too.
