Night of the Living Dead

Emily was up in Sheffield on a research expedition last night. Interviewing men about nuts of the dry roasted variety. This was an opportunity for me to have a night in on my own, which always feels like a great luxury. We’ve already established that I’m a sad fanboy, so it won’t come as a surprise that my twin pleasures were ‘Burnout: Revenge’ on the Xbox 360 and ‘Day of the Dead’, the old George A. Romero movie.

However, these distractions did not really fill the void left by Emily. Maybe I’m becoming sentimental, I do think that life’s pretty pointless when she’s not around. For a man with thoroughly juvenile foibles, maybe that’s what love is: your girlfriend being infinitely more desirable than electronic entertainment…
