Um, anyone still there?
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, [...]
The Shield
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 [...]

And by peers, I mean elected officials and not a bunch of sub-literate ponies [...]
Happy Happy Joy Joy
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 [...]
