Bye, PSU

Posted inBooks, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Today's the day then. One final hurrah, or at least as much of a hurrah that we can be bothered to launch into. It's strange we had to actually organise this final World Tour, a year ago everyone would've been online playing PSU anyway, regardless of which day we wanted to play it on. I've gone on and on about…

Who likes privacy, anyway?

Posted inFilms/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
In what is turning into a weekly moan about the people who live in this house with me, I'm getting used to not having any privacy at all any more. It seems like every five minutes I'm being visited by a small child who comes in and moans and cries when I tell him "I'm playing a game which involves…

Still not back to normal

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I was looking forward to getting back into a more normal routine and not having so many other people around all the time so I can just get on with studying, but alas, the recent snow has caused travel problems, so everyone has had to stay off work most of the week. Nothing else to add really, apart from I'm…

Sunday Service: That was a good Christmas

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Oh yes it was. Lots of nice food and lots of nice drink, lots of time with Jane, lots of cool presents, I had a nice time. It's back to normality tomorrow though, as everyone goes back to work and I resume studying/job-hunting. There were a few things I missed, it being my first Christmas away from my Mum and…
Happy 2010!

Jane and I would like to wish everyone who reads this a prosperous and happy 2010. We had cocktails last night, it was great. A good night was had by all, and no hangover either! Bonus.

2009 Top 10: Jasmine

Last, but by no means least, it's Jasmine. June 14th was a very special day, David and Katie's little girl, my niece, Jasmine Eve Stewart was born. She's got the most beautiful big blue eyes, and gorgeous chubby cheeks, it's always a treat when I get to see my favourite small person.

2009 Top 10: Reading books

Posted inBooks, ReflectionsNo Comments
2009 was the year I properly started to read books. Apart from all seven Harry Potter books a few years back, I've never really been into the whole reading thing. It's clearly one of Jane's bad habits rubbing off on me, she's very rarely without her nose in a book. The first time I went into a bookshop with the…

2009 Top 10: Threefest

An amazing, absolutely amazing weekend. You know, when I started all this Random Fury! stuff I had no idea it'd go so far as to gathering people from all corners of this little island (and some from over the other side of the water) to Coventry on a lovely Summer weekend for drinks and a BBQ. Massive thanks go to…

2009 Top 10: Lost

Posted inFilms/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
Season 5 of Lost was amazing. It went from a drama series that subconsciously flirted with science fiction, all the way over to true Sci-Fi. The Island and it's inhabitants moved through time and space, some people who had got off the Island "had to go back", and did, and lots of people died. I don't think many of the…

2009 Top 10: Moving House

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Twice in one year no less! While not exactly a highlight, I feel it is significant enough to warrant a mention in the Top 10. The preparation for the move started way back in 2008 with me getting rid of pretty much everything I owned. I got rid of loads of clothes, 90% of my videogames and consoles (leaving me…
