Monsters and Resolutions

General,Movies,Net joy 10 June 2010 | 1 Comment

‘Jesus Christ!’ This was the response of the nice lady from the disconnections team at Virgin Media when I recounted my tale of woe to her. As promised, I took the bull by the horns and phoned up to cancel my account with them, armed with the fresh knowledge that the £30 recommend-a-friend discount hadn’t [...]

The Internet is your friend

Net joy 27 February 2010 | 0 Comments

Ellen has a new phone, and the response it has engendered in me has not been pretty.  It’s one of those all-singing HTC Android phones that falls under the title ‘smartphone.’ And by Christ is it smart.  Up until I saw it I actually thought that my lovely LG phone that I have had for [...]

Um, anyone still there?

Demon Pigeon,General,Net joy,TV,Year of Health 10 February 2010 | 2 Comments

So it’s official, I am utterly shit. Having promised not to let my extracurricular activities preclude me from updating this place, the truth is that Year of Health and Demon Pigeon (not to mention the fallout of that business at the tail end of last year) have been keeping me pretty busy of late. Incidentally, [...]

Rage against mediocrity

Music,Net joy 17 December 2009 | 7 Comments

The current war in the charts for the Christmas number one spot has me conflicted. For those of you who don’t know (in my last post I left out one American in particular and I don’t want to do the same again) in the UK we have a show called X Factor, much the same as American [...]

Demon Pigeon

Music,Net joy,Writing 20 November 2009 | 0 Comments

After some deliberation the decision has been made that now is the time to unleash onto the world our new project, so get down on your knees, and make Demon Pigeon your new God. That is not to say that we’ve gone live with it just yet, but more that we’re getting quite bored of [...]

Cryptic

So today was supposed to be Cross Blogination but I haven’t had the chance to do it yet so that’ll be tomorrow.  I’m mega busy at the moment but I just wanted to say that I am currently a very excited Paul. I’ve mentioned before that I have got a couple of projects lined up for the [...]

Blood Update

Admin Stuff,General,Net joy,Writing 21 October 2009 | 2 Comments

For all of the ‘big ideas’ that I have on a regular basis, I have a terrible knack of letting the dust settle on them for long enough that I move on from them.  You may have noticed that there has not been a lot of movement on the Blood On The Motorway front recently, [...]

Reformation

Music,Net joy,Politics 14 October 2009 | 3 Comments

In a year that has been dominated by the reformations of some of the biggest bands in rock history (AIC, Pavement, Rival Schools, hell even Led Zep) an announcement crept out the other night that will make absolutely no impact on the worldwide music scene but managed to make me and a very select group [...]

Happy Happy Joy Joy

General,Net joy,TV 8 October 2009 | 2 Comments

I’m in quite a good mood today.  Work is not sucking quite so hard at the moment, and a few things have been cleared up and whatnot.  Secondly, I’m still buzzing from last night’s ‘epic night of telly.’ True Blood was spectacular, I loved how well drawn the various characters are, and the tension is [...]

Abnormal Service Resumed

Admin Stuff,General,Net hate,Net joy,Writing 3 September 2009 | 4 Comments

So that was interesting.  The whole 7 days experiment was, I think it’s safe to say, pretty successful, although I will admit defeat on the timescale. I forgot how little I am on the computer over the weekend, and the fact that I had an OU assignment due in at the same time. But overall [...]
