*Note. Firstly I’m glad to say I’ve got the blogging buzz back at the moment, so expect to see a bit more activity around here. However, for the next few weeks it’s very likely I will be talking about Politics a lot, seeing as it’s all I can think or talk about at the moment. [...]

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, [...]

A whole lot of nothing

General,TV,Writing 19 November 2009 | 1 Comment

So again I have to say that my brain is currently totally tapped out, due to having to think about too many things, all the time.  My normally docile brain has been suddenly expected to leap into action on a number of different fronts, and so as I sit down to write this blog I can think [...]

The Shield

TV 16 November 2009 | 0 Comments

This weekend I finally finished the seven season odyssey that is The Shield, with its emotionally destroying finale meaning that once again I am talking TV.  I started watching the Shield when I first moved to York and found the first season on special offer in HMV.  Often unfairly this show has been compared to the genius of The [...]

Misfits

TV 13 November 2009 | 2 Comments

Apologies if this is becoming TV central these days, but this is in large part due to being the parent of a small child who can’t get out very often, and of course being a big geek,as was pointed out to me on Twitter yesterday when I started talking randomly and enthusiastically about Babylon 5 [...]

I blame Summer

TV 12 November 2009 | 2 Comments

So it appears that Joss Whedon’s ‘Dollhouse’ has been cancelled. Colour me utterly unsurprised.  I was shocked when Fox gave it a second series, and since then the ratings have been as tepid as month old bathwater.  It’s a shame as what has been aired of the second series so far, coupled with the season [...]

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 [...]
