Atriad Press (Non-Fiction books about Texas) are no longer following me. Was it something I said?

Non-Fiction Books About Texas

 I discovered today that I have a new follower on Twitter! Exciting news, I know. They are Atriad Press, a publishing company that print Non-Fiction books about Texas! Brilliant, right? I can see why they're interested in me. I may just have to pitch to them my idea for a book; "How To Fuck Your Sister, Escaping From The Police In A Winnebago, General Racism And Other Popular American Pastimes In The Deep South." Think they'll like it? Me too...
 When you enter their website you are greeted by a video of a rather chunky gentleman sporting a cowboy hat who starts talking about a hamster he had when he was 6 that his good 'ol dad then left outside to freeze to death. Then he introduces Atriad Press' latest release on how to deal with coming face to face with the ghosts of your dead pets. I've already purchases 8 copies!! That's my Christmas presents sorted for this year, and it should also help with the distress I'm going through every night when my ex-goldfish Speedy keeps drifting through the walls. Phew.

Oh bugger... facebook's changed again.

Since it's a Sunday night and as I've gone all Arthur Dent recently and started refusing to get out of my dressing gown, I've spent my evening in a lowly lit room sat on facebook. Yes, I'm cool. As you may have noticed, facebook has changed again. So we can shortly expect a rush of status changes complaining about how it's changed and that it should change back, which personally I find more annoying than the initial change itself. It seems that the main changes this time are enhancing it's stalker capabilities. Instead of wading aimlessly through their profile to discover every mundane aspect of your friends existence, you now get it thrown at your face as you click on their profile! Wonderful! One such unwanted piece of information you can attain is what languages people speak. unfortunately Traditional Yorkshire Dialect and Elvish aren't there. However, Surrealism and Klingon are! Once again, Wonderful! I was also unhappy to see that you can now tell everyone about what sports you're interested in. As for me, I believe that everyone who likes any form of sport should be crucified on a rugby post until they come to their senses and realise that there is very little entertainment value in watching uneducated fuckwits kicking a ball and shouting at each other.... and the ball. This bitterness may just be because I was always picked last in the playground football matches at school. Or it could be that I'm right and Sport is pointless. you decide. Anyway, rant over. I'm now going to leer at the ice and snow outside until it melts away and I can safely walk down the street without resembling a penguin. Night!
