This post is not terribly deep, but it should bring y'all up to speed:

The Crew's sixth birthday will be celebrated this Sunday with an Impro Rumble! Come and cheer me on. Please? 5:30pm, at the Comic's Lounge. The usual drill except it will be an improvised battle royale and yours truly is in the running. If you only come to impro once this year, make it this weekend.

After two months of screwing things up and occasionally blaming me for said cock-up, I have finally been paid by one of my employers for work I did back in March. Only they've double-paid me, and now I have to go through the hassle of figuring out how to give the money they accidentally gave me back. Perhaps I should have said nothing and seen if they worked it out.

Probably moving very soon - haven't had any luck finding people to move in with me here once Darren and Emma leave. Got a few more tricks to try this week, but after that I'm out of time and will need to start looking.

Several possibilities for more science-comedy work have come up; nothing concrete, but all interesting.

Make sure you get good Channel 31 reception (and if you haven't tried for a while, tune in again now) - I'll be on two shows there in June/July, Planet Nerd and Theatre Games LIVE!

I have so far managed to avoid buying a PlayStation 2; I don't really have the time to play, as much as I would like to. But now I find out that Guitar Hero III is coming, not only with a Gibson Les Paul style controller, but with songs including Sabotage, Knights of Cydonia, School's Cult of Personality and...The Metal. By Tenacious D. It will be harder, but I shall continue to resist.

I like series three of Doctor Who a lot. Except for the Dalek two-parter (I like to pretend it didn't happen), every episode has at least been fun, and several have been great. Fan opinion tends to disagree, of course, though this is notable because I thought the last series was a lot worse. And now I'm looking forward to the next two-parter, Paul Cornell's Human Nature/The Family of Blood, which is based on a novel he wrote. Could be a corker. I'm excited.
