The random interconnectedness of all things

or in my case how to randomly connect the string of the last few books I’ve been reading, because I’ve been bored today, and keep noticing strange connections…

Book 1 has a character called Gabriel, so does Book 2

Book 2 has a character called Fassbinder, Book 3 opens with a quote from Reiner Werner Fassbinder.

Book 3 has a character called Caroline Morrow, Book 4 was published by William Morrow.

Book 4 contains a serial killer who removes victims fingers, so does Book 5.

I wonder how long I could make this list go on for?

Two weeks

So it’s that time again where I get two weeks off work after four weeks of practically no time off at all. My usual pattern is 4 days off in 28 then 17 days off, I’m currently at 3 days off in 29 with 15 days due to me, providing I don’t get called in to help out again.

That said, the question is, what do I do with those fifteen days of work freedom? My usual activities include descending slowly into madness and loneliness before having an explosive meltdown all over the interweb. This is something I’d like to avoid, but for the moment I am unsure how….

How to get yourself killed in one easy step….

Follow this simple tip from the “mayor” of Stroud Railway Station.

I can’t decide if its here out of pure stupidity, malice, or the ignorance of his belief that no one could possibly follow his tip because its so obviously stupid.

All of the above make me sad.
