Ok, so the deal was a blog post every day, and I’m only two weeks in, so I don’t want to have to abandon that so quickly, but today has beaten me up like a bat to the stomach. I spent most of the day in the pissiest mood imaginable, and I’m done with that [...]
Back to work today, so at the very least I have left the Chapelfields estate, which is nice, seeing as it is a pit of desperation. And possibly cholera. My day has also been brightened immensely by the news that I have won a copy of the Zomblogalypse DVD on Twitter, so that can get [...]
I am determined not to bow out of my blog-a-day target only three days in despite the fact that I am being hampered by several different factors. The first is that I have a tonne of ironing and tidying to do in a short space of time and this is not being helped by the [...]
For the most part I’ve been taking December as a ‘month off the Internet’, save for the occasional pop round the door of Twitter or Facebook to say hello, or tell crap jokes which then get ignored or scorned upon. It’s been refreshing, and I’m not really sure how much I’ve really missed it, but [...]
Again I’ve done the thing of writing a blog post at a time when I can’t post it, and then forgetting to post it once I got home. I wrote most of this last week, gleeful at the time that it would mean more than one blog post in a week, giddy at making September [...]
Soooo, nearly three weeks without an update, but the good news is that rather than being a layabout, I’ve been (largely) hard at work on the novel, and I’m getting pretty pleased with the state of things so far. At the moment I have the first 5 issues sewn up, a further four needing a [...]
Disclaimer: Before we get started, may I just warn you that this post will not be of any interest to you unless the newest film in the Star Trek franchise made you weep like a small child. Aint It Cool News is reporting that Star Trek reboot master JJ Abrams is considering whether or not [...]
Morning all, I’m afraid I am feeling a little worse for wear today, so you will have to accept my apologies if this is a bit meandering. Last night Ellen and I consumed a little too much of the wine and the spirit whilst enjoying two masterpieces by the recently departed king of chain smoking [...]
Two years ago Sean Penn’s excellent ‘Into the Wild’ charted the life of Christopher McCandless, the famed Alexander Supertramp, who ditched what he saw as a fruitless existence fulifilling his parents ambitions and dropped off the map entirely. Ending up in Alaska, he finally achieved his dream of total isolation, but due to his own naivete [...]
In all of the coverage of the death of Patrick Swayze, the focus has been on his hugely successful romantic lead roles, which for millions of young girls seemed to define the blossoming allure of the male form. But for me, he also defined an early example of what masculinity was in two completely different [...]
