We have launched the Crate.
Go to Cargo Publishing's website, please, and click on the Cargo Crate tab. I can't even explain in one blog how awesome it'll be. :)

Cargo Crate
So, it occurs to me that I've told you little about this upcoming launch.
Cargo Crate is the new eBook and audiobook label from Cargo Publishing. We are holding two launches for it.
The first is at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh this Friday (21st), from 6-8pm, which is now sold out. However, the second will be Sunday 23rd from 3-5pm at the Arches in Glasgow, for which tickets are still available. At both, Alan Bissett will perform some of the Moira Monologues and Simon Sylvester will read some of his Twitter fiction. Both events are free.
Please come :)

I have come to the conclusion...
...that any neep can write, but it takes a special person to write well.
A shame that I would only realise this now, but there we have it.
I appear to have recovered from flu for the most part. I'm still stuffed up a little, and coughing, but I can definitely go back to work (thank fuck, can't believe I had to take time off AGAIN).
I've just discovered that one of my two big cousins (as in the 'proper' cousins, the two sons of my paternal auntie) got engaged at Christmas, so that's cheered me up. My granny's excited too. I think she's just chuffed to live long enough to see one of her grandkids get married. I'm chuffed for her as well, I know how much that means to her.
Sorry, this entry has no real focus to it, I just needed to let stuff out.

Tumblr Blog
I've decided to take a photo every day for a year, just for the hell of it.
I know I'm slightly late, given that we're now two weeks into 2011, but one of my New Year's Resolutions was to live a little. Given that I work shifts this can prove difficult at times, but it's worth a shot.
The new blog on which I'll be carrying out this little project has been started up on Tumblr, and can be found here.
I hope this project won't bore you too much. I know it'll give me a little more to do with my time this year :)
Not much else has happened. My bed broke the other day and I'm sleeping on the couch until the letting agents send someone round to fix it. I also think I've contracted flu, and after feeling unbearably ill during yesterday's shift I phoned in sick for today, but I think I'm perking up a little now after consuming plenty of fluid. Which reminds me, better go get another Lemsip then tuck up with a book. Also my mouse broke, meaning I have to use the stupid touch pad on my laptop which I swear I'm about to take a mallet to...>:(

Small Update
Just lately, I'm having no luck.
1. Working so much on my stupid paid job means I've neglected my internship. Stupid hours, of course. Either waking up at stupid o' clock in the morning or coming home at stupid o' clock at night means I get nothing done. Alas, my rent ain't gonna pay itself.
2. My bed broke, so this blog entry comes to you from my couch.
Ohhh...so much going wrong! Argh!
Ah well, the Cargo Crate launch is next weekend :) I hope that perks things up.

Happy (Belated) New Year
Fudge, this is my first post of 2011! Took me long enough...
So yeah, happy new year to you lot who are kind enough to stick with me and read this.
The festive ended up being somewhat bittersweet for various reasons. I ended up having to come back down and work at New Year, so my original plans were scuppered. I didn't get back from my shift until about twenty minutes to midnight, so after dashing to my nearest 24 hour shop for mixers myself and my flatmate simply toasted the new year then watched a film. It was nice.
Other than that, just working at The Paid Job. I've had to do overtime this week because of having to take Christmas off unpaid, and if I'm offered any more in the next few weeks I'll need to take that too.
There's also some exciting stuff coming up with Cargo Crate.
This will be Cargo's label for ebooks and audio books. We will officially be launching the label on the 21st of January at the National Library in Edinburgh and on the 23rd at the Arches in Glasgow. Check Cargo's website for more details.
