The recent spate of Marvel films

Posted inBooks, Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
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

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
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…

Stag OMG

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
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

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…

Halo 4 is here!

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Well, for most people. I ordered the Limited Edition from Amazon hoping to get it today, a day early, rather than tomorrow lunchtime, when the postman will most probably drop it through the letterbox. It's been so long since I've been this pumped for a game, it really has. Still, I'm playing Transformers: Fall of Cybertron to pass the time,…

Upgrade succesful

Posted inCreativity, Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Upgrading to Windows 8 was relatively painless, I have to say. It helped that I was going from Windows 7 - if it had been from anything lower then there would have been issues. But hey, it was plain sailing. My initial impressions were - What the actual fuck is going on here? My fears died down once I'd found…

Windows 8

Posted inCreativity, Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments
So, I'm about to upgrade my OS to Windows 8 Pro. I'm never usually this eager to take up new technology, I mean, I never started using Firefox until Chrome was generally perceived as "the best". Funny, just writing out the tag for Chrome made me realise I've never mentioned Chromehounds on here before - it is one of my…

Nice couple of days

Seeing as Jane and I were going out for a meal with her work-mates in Southampton last night, I thought I'd go over earlier in the day and see my family. Met David and Otis at the Mayflower, then went on to the hospital and had lunch with Mum, gave her some belated birthday presents and just generally had a…
