PC: It’s Groundhog Day [beat, beat] again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The words of Phil Connors, leading character in the brilliant Groundhog Day (a film about which I know far too much).<\/p>\n

(there’s a fun little game played by film buffs called The Mark Strong But Game – so-called because it was brought to popular attention by the actor Mark Strong. You run through the cast of a good film and add the not-good cast member. In the case of the above it would be ‘Groundhog Day. With Bill Murray. But Andie MacDowell’. Yep, it just works, doesn’t it?)<\/em><\/p>\n

The real Groundhog Day is tomorrow (February 2nd), and yes, it is really held in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. So don’t say you don’t learn anything from hanging around here.<\/p>\n

Today, though, is the start of my own little Groundhog Day recurring event, it is the first day of the annual February post-a-day-Blogathon, inspired by young Mr Masher<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And here’s a work update.<\/p>\n

This afternoon (it is 2pm Thursday), I am sitting on my couch.<\/p>\n

I’m between ‘day job’ contracts\u00a0and, according to my meticulously documented schedule, I am supposed to be working on my writing.<\/p>\n

Like all writers, things aren’t going to plan.<\/p>\n

I have written my shopping list.<\/p>\n

I have written a couple of emails.<\/p>\n

I am writing this blogpost.<\/p>\n

I’ve written a few Tweets.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the one thing that I haven’t written is the rewrite of Episode 3 of ‘Shelved’.<\/p>\n

Oh well.<\/p>\n

I’ll just have to spend some time over on YouTube looking at video of motorbikes.<\/p>\n

Just until inspiration lands.<\/p>\n

See you tomorrow, then?<\/p>\n

I’ll try to have another interesting fact or two for you.<\/p>\n

Ooh, must go!<\/p>\n

Jeremy Kyle is on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
