Self isolation, week one

By Iain 25 March 2020ReflectionsNo Comments

You may have heard something about the coronavirus, I'm not sure if it's on the news yet... Oh, who am I kidding, it's everywhere. You can't have not heard about it by now, it's affecting absolutely everything. We're self isolating this week because Jake developed a cough the night before he was due to go back to school - we…

Fever dreams

By Iain 23 November 2018Dream recordsNo Comments

Fever dreams are intense, to say the least. Here's one I had recently while I was poorly. I had to put some 100x100 green Lego bricks together in a perfect square, which was difficult because some of them were larger than others, some were different shapes - despite them all being 100x100. Gotta love that dreamy inconsistent reality. It was…

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…

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…

Musings

By Iain 19 July 2014Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I'm just sitting here on a sunny Saturday afternoon, at the PC with a green tea and a couple of biscuits, editing the next series of Sonic games (Sonic 2, for those of you who care), thinking to myself that I've not really written anything that wasn't a Friday update on here in a while. I started doing Friday updates…

How did I forget these?

By Iain 8 March 2014Creativity, ReflectionsNo Comments

In my last update, I mean. Ethan has so much Lego. Like, really, so much. I spent half an hour in there the other day, and this is what I made. It is me as a Lego person, riding on my Space Sled, with Jane on the back. And here is a nice little drawing a work-mate drew for me…

A musing on children, growing up and adults

By Iain 2 February 2014Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I've touched on this before, but I don't really class myself as an adult - I certainly don't behave like one. Or do I? My perceptions of what being an adult were formed when I was a kid. Now I am all grown up (in physical terms at least), am I not an adult simply because I don't act how…

My brother got married today

By Iain 27 May 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

Jane and I went over to Southampton in the morning - it was strange, as we were making the journey on the train it didn't feel at all like we were going to a wedding later that day. It only felt like a wedding when we went to meet David at his hotel to "get him to the Registry Office…
