It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the retirement of Fridays from my weekly posting schedule.
But! This is good news for a variety of reasons:
- My writing quality will improve! Actually, considering the quality here is already very high, the quality will probably stay the same. But if anything, it will improve!
- There will be more ‘features’. By removing Friday from my posting schedule I have three days in which I can set up more complicated photos for 52 Weeks or write for other publications. For Monday I’m planning my very first album review. I need to finish reading my thesaurus quickly!
- There’ll be less to read. You’ll actually be able to keep up without skipping through each paragraph. Rejoice! I can imagine this will come as a relief to some of you — and to those of you that are crying big, wet, sticky tears of sorrow: sorry.
In fact, I don’t think there’ll be any bad repercussions from this change. Everyone’s a winner.
Thinking about it, I could use Fridays to highlight old entries that you might not have seen before. And maybe I can get some more guest blogs from my hilarious and intelligent friends (of which there are three, if you include my mother) — I could publish those on a Friday…
Or, or… perhaps Friday could host a video diary? (Though you guys would have to pitch in and help me buy a new camera, because my mobile phone totally didn’t do the frozen-peas-down-shorts justice.)
Maybe a paragraph/page from my/your favourite book? Just something that doesn’t involve writing, basically. Spare my poor, Bohemian fingers.
As for the ‘golden oldie’ (isn’t that a particularly moist variety of geriatric pornography?): I’ll have a browse through the archives and see what catches my eye. Stay tuned!

Shame. What will I have to read as I gum my crustless bread and lard at breakfast time?

A day off from blogging sounds like a positive change at least! More “me” time?

Yes, Matt, I needed more time with Lara.
(It’s around this time I wished I had a real girlfriend called Lara, to make it more ambiguous and less sad… but… alas.)
Sorry Hannah! I thought you might be sad actually. You were on my mind as I wrote it!
And as always, Apron, you are spot on. Damn your hook-nose and observational prowess!

You’ve finally done it, haven’t you?
You’ve become Modern Orthodox.
I can’t say I’m altogether completely surprised.

I have to be honest here; I didn’t even know you had a posting schedule. I’d just see a new post from Seb every so often in my RSS feed at work (I use RSS at work so it looks like I’m busily going through emails when, in fact, I’m doing anything but).
But, now that I know, my Friday’s just won’t be the same.

It’s been 07:30 UK time for… months! Monday to Friday!
Ah how I missed the toilet-head avatar.
Thank you for trying your best to be concerned.

Listen, Mr. Seb, for the last time, it’s a whistle, not a toilet.
And I haven’t been on UK time since I was in good ol’ West Sussex. It’s all EST for me, nowadays. And I was concerned, just mildly so.
Though I do hope you produce something on Fridays, it’s a very boring day around here.

Because, looking at Google Analytics, I find it impossible to believe that you could read 1000 words in under 30 seconds

If you’re going to do something… you should do it properly!
That’s one of my main, governing rules!
