Bleakonomics

The kitchen is fast becoming the second most used set after the front room this year. In fact, this year has seen action taking place in the front room, the kitchen, the bathroom, and both bedrooms of the ground floor flat. It's almost like a real sitcom, except for the way the architecture keeps changing when I realise the back door would actually open into Halifax's bedroom, or the front door's disappearing/reappearing entrance hallway. Surprisingly, there is a concrete floorplan to the building now: most of the internal layout of the flat now makes sense. And it only took me two and three-quarter years to work it out.

I don't know what Shakra is attempting to cook. It might be a wheat pancake/flapjack type thing, or it might be something he's invented just for himself, with a snappy name. Like FOODCAKE.


DAVID'S DVD EASTER EGGS:
The mystery of who lives on the second floor of the flat is solved, after almost three years: it's empty. For the longest time, Halifax was meant to live on the first floor instead of the ground floor. I'm not quite sure what happened to that idea, other than when I used to do Year Zero on my own, I never got around to putting the other tenants in beyond Vince's two appearances that year.
