Pictoral reflection

By Iain 12 July 2012Books, Creativity, Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I want to try and create a piece of digital art based on the media I consume. I finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? whilst on Jury Service, and since then, an image has been resonating in my head. I need to get it down on paper. I have loads of other ideas for pictures about books I have…

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

By Iain 19 June 2012Books, Films/TV, VideogamesNo Comments

I love the film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. I love the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. I do not love Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. The universe itself is wonderfully realised in-game, it's quite faithful to the books, and any new bits they added are also very much in the spirit of things... It's just that as a…

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

By Iain 13 June 2012Books, Films/TVNo Comments

By Phillip K. Dick You may have heard of the film "Blade Runner". It was based on this book, you know. I've seen Blade Runner, I'm sure I have, I must've done, my Dad loved it, but for the life of me I cannot remember it. I may have to track down a copy. This book is so full of…

Big beats are the best

By Iain 28 March 2012Films/TV, Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

They sure are. After listening to the album for the past three days straight at work, I just had to buy the new Ministry of Sound collection: Big Beat Anthems. Every track has the biggest of beats, every track takes me back twenty years, every track is utterly amazing. I'm having some issues naming tracks and what-not with the Zune…

I got me one of those tattoo things

By Iain 26 March 2012Films/TV, Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

Seeing as I'm a huge Prodigy fan, my first tattoo had to be the ant logo. It didn't hurt massively, it just felt like a lot of little pin pricks, or tiny slices, which is pretty much exactly all it was! I've got loads of ideas for other tattoos, but I'll hold off for a while as I want to…

Merry Exterminate Day

Out with Jane in the car again, drove past our local Dalek hobbyist - check this out. A Dalek with a Santa hat on. Amaze x 2.

Exterminate!

By Iain 14 December 2011Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

OMG, we saw a Dalek outside someone's house today! Apparently Jane has driven past when the garage has been open and there are a few part-made Daleks in there as well. Amaze.

Holiday 2011: Day 2

By Iain 4 September 2011Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Got up and had a shower. The shower was nice. The bathroom in general was quite nice too. Then we had a fried breakfast. This, supposedly, was to fill us up so we wouldn't want lunch 'til later in the day, but I found I was still hungry at the usual lunch time. We went to Paignton Zoo on day…

Pre-holiday bonus

By Iain 31 August 2011Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Work is a bit odd at the moment. Loads of people are leaving or possibly getting sacked - I'm glad I can get away from it for a week to be honest. We're going to Dawlish next week, with Jane's Mum and Dad. Should be interesting. Anyway, as a pre-holiday bonus, I went to see Mum, David and Jasmine today.…

Dark Of The Moon

By Iain 29 June 2011Films/TVNo Comments

So I went to the cinema (by myself - no shame in that) and watched this today. There are spoilers, so be warned. The plot was the best of the three films so far, and while by no means a literary masterclass, it fulfilled it's role in providing a reason for the giant robots to fight. The special effects were…
