Dark Souls – Iain Douglas Stewart

22 days

By Iain 27 December 2014Creativity, Films/TV, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Yes, twenty-two days without a post on here - some kind of record. A very bad record. I have time on the PC, but I have no idea where to start with anything, and I feel I have so much to do. And there's no telling how long it is before Ethan comes in and starts being noisy and very…

Fri… Nah, forget it.

Sorry it's been a while, I've just not had the time to come in here and sit down and formulate a post. I don't even think I'll finish this today to be honest. Just for reference, I started this at half three in the afternoon on the 17th of November, and now I have to dash. Ok, so here I…

Timely Friday update

By Iain 17 October 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Hey, I'm going to do a Friday update on a Friday for a change! I'm in the front room watching Jake while he sleeps rather than writing it in my study as usual, using my video-recoding laptop rather than the familiar keyboard on the main PC... I've never used this keyboard to type before, so I keep missing letters and…

That went too quick

By Iain 26 September 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

That did not seem like a week since the last update. Not at all. But hey, I guess that is the danger now, isn't it? Time will fly. Thing is - I didn't really do much! I got into these Lego Mixels recently - we were selling them at Asda for £1.47 each, so for less than a fiver I…

I get it now

I understand why parents post so much about their kids - because to them, their kids are awesome. I ignored their posts mainly because they were not my kids, and I had no vested interest in them. It would appear that now I have a child of my own, one that I have a vested interest in, I want to…

A new approach to updates

By Iain 12 September 2014Music, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I've decided to take a new approach to these weekly updates. I like the idea of doing an update once a week on a set day, so that aspect is staying. The whole "Friday update" thing is getting old - it's quite boring to look down the recent posts and basically see the words "Friday" and "update" repeated twenty times.…

Friday update 5/9/14

By Iain 5 September 2014Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

September. September already. So, Monday was a bit scary. We took Gizmo to the vets in the morning (he's breathing very heavily at the moment), found out he could either have something in his lungs or he simply has a chest infection. Jane didn't sleep very well the night before (she had a weird kind of bad headache which defies…

Friday update 29/8/14

So ready for Flipper to appear now. I just can't wait to meet the little guy/gal - and I can't wait for Jane to be able to rest properly again. It's not that she's been miserable or grumpy because of the baby cramping her style - I just feel it's been long enough now, she deserves her body back. Two…

Friday update 22/8/14

By Iain 22 August 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

It's been yet another quick week. Little baby Stewart is due in three weeks if you can believe that - we're hoping that he or she comes a bit sooner than that because now is an ideal time, what with Claire and the kids being away. It would just be a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere for us to introduce the…

Friday update 15/8/14

By Iain 15 August 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I've almost sorted out my new hours at work - less days but roughly the same amount of hours. I know I won't need to look after Flipper until Jane goes back to work but the opportunity to secure the perfect timetable arose, so I took it. Working three full days a week rather than working five short shifts will…
