Merry Christmas
Jane and I extend our festive wishes of happiness and joy to anyone and everyone who may stumble upon my little blog. Thank you for reading, and may 2013 bring positivity and lashings of luck to your life.
Nearly Christmas already
It's come around quickly again this year. Like last year, I have been working night shifts on Music and Video to prepare and repair the department. It was four night shifts spread over two weeks this time, rather than three night shifts in a row, and it took it's toll on my sleeping patterns. Still, think of the money. I…
Level Up!
34. As is tradition - I must say that I don't feel a day older than 25. Jane got me some smelly stuff, a cool Tetris mug that reveals a pattern when hot water is inserted, and a larger memory card for my mp3 player. The James'ses got me a WHSmiths voucher, and Colin and Myrtle got me a lovely…
Been playing…
The Darkness. The lovely melatonin bought me this several years ago as a Secret Santa gift. I played it for a couple of hours, got bored, and stopped. Many years later I played Syndicate, a game by the same team that made The Darkness. Having loved Syndicate, I decided to revisit The Darkness to see if I was a little…
The recent spate of Marvel films
I am going to watch them. I will call it: Avengers Week. Have a shitty graphic in putrid colours and Comic Sans. Starting with Iron Man, then The Incredible Hulk (the one with Edward Norton in it, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen it), then Iron Man 2, then Thor, then Captain America (which I'm not looking forward to if…
Mr and Mrs Stewart
I was going to do a big old post detailing the day's events, listing everyone who came and trying to write about all the funny things that happened, but I think I'll keep this one private. Suffice to say, it was the greatest day of my life. I love her.
Wedding – Danger close
I don't mean that in a bad way, honest. Danger close is what they say in wars when bombs are being dropped close to friendly locations, and while this bomb won't blow up and kill friendlies, it is pretty close. I wouldn't say I'm nervous, but I am a little anxious: I just want it to be a good day…
Halo 4 is actually now here, for real
Yes it is, and it's quite good. I'm a bit annoyed that it turned up the day after it was released, but overall I am glad it is finally spinning in my Xbox. It took a while to actually play the thing - you have to install disc two if you want to play the online multiplayer portion of the…
Stag OMG
David and I went out for my tiny Stag-Do last night - I can still feel the effects of all that alcohol. It was just David and I for the most part, but Lisa and Stuart did turn up at one point for a drink. I don't remember exactly what happened, but we drank some bottles of Corona, some bottles…
R.I.P. Tigger
It was a sad day today. Tigger was taken to the vets and put down. He'd been having thyroid problems for a while and he lost loads of weight. It was for the best really, save him from suffering any longer. In honour of Tigger and his legacy, I'm going to repost an old article from a couple of years…
