This post will be mostly about TV. Call me an afficiando, or just call me sad, but I felt I had to share... wink

So many great shows have all finished at the same time that it feels like an era of some kind has come to an end. On the one hand it's sad to see so many stories finishing (even if only temporarily) but...

There's still an acrid chemical tang to the air when you drive past.

Legion really frustrated me it could've been so much better, a host of angels descending from the heavens to lay waste to mankind would be an amazing spectacle but they totally fudged it, by having possess people instead.

Fringe really surprised me at first it didn't really seem to be going anywhere but it's really picked up over time and John Noble's portrayal of Walter is of a calibre you don't usually get on a mainstream show flawlessly switching from mad scientist to vulnerable and confused and back again as well as portraying Waltenate who is essentially a different character.

I've seen the first series of Being Human and thought it was some of the best British TV I've seen in ages.

As for True Blood I think it's excellent, it's got HBO stamped on it like a cattle brand and I don't think you could do the same show any other way.

Indeed, and perhaps I would have made that point in your articulate and less cringeworthy manner if I'd left it another few hours. wink

Another month, another update (finally). I always have a bit of a mental block when it comes to blogging about my life, and it never sounds anywhere as exciting as I want it to be in my head.... *sighs*

Although I've always had a huge appreciation for computer games I've never really had time for them. I love the sense of immersion you get...

I'm very much liking the new Doctor Who myself, I was a bit unsure of Matt Smith at first I thought he looked a bit like a smug student but I've been won over Karen Gillan is scottish and a redhead which equals major love

Kick Ass is full of win too it has to be said.

necros:
happy birthday!

So a fortnight ago I went to the SFX Weekender, a two-day science fiction convention organised by SFX Magazine that took place at Pontins holiday camp in Camber Sands. Overall it was quite a laugh but not without its share of ups and downs.

This particular Pontins is possibly one of the shabbiest and most delapidated places I have ever seen. It needed refurbishing 15...

Was good to meet you and talk to someone about metal type stuff and 40K which I almost never have the chance to do. smile
secretary:
All I can say is I'm going to be watching Doctor Who even more closely than I usually do.

I always did like the episodes Stephen Moffat wrote. And having put Amy in a police uniform for that whole episode, I'm now convinced that we share the same wavelength. wink x

Hrm I had planned a big blog update before I went away but alas I ran out of time. In fact, I'm still backiing up my laptop at the moment and I'm due to leave at 6am for Heathrow Airport... whatever

I may or may not get Internet access in the next three weeks while I'm away, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Assuming not,...

Harry Brown? I think i have to respectfully disagree, i saw it and thought it was quite, quite pants. I understand the principles of verisimilitude and all that but I do think a film which claims to be a piece of social realism should have something slightly believable in it. I mean are we really expected to believe an old man with emphysema could hunt down a bunch of youngsters. Oh and its just not true that all drug dealers are rapists and paedophiles, some of them are very lovely people.....discuss x




ps- i'm always up for Board Games. scrabble and chess in particular

Just in case you weren't aware already, I'm off to Australia for Xmas! biggrin

The Solomon Islands to be more precise. My dad's working out there so this is a prime opportunity to visit part of the world that I would otherwise never get to see. Flying out via Brisbane mid-December, spending Xmas itself on a remote island resort and then flying back via Sydney for...

Weddings

Following my step-brothers wedding in South London on August Bank holiday I had another wedding do the following weekend up in Nottingham. The groom was former SGUK member fpkk, and this time the event was rather more humorous and unconventional. The day started...

I know what you mean about the not trying new things, I hope I never stop experiencing and enjoying new ideas and interests.

I've just added to my journal to point out that I don't really think that parents who smack are "monsters", it's just that the attack I saw was so vicious I can't help but start ranting about it.

Friday I'm going to a gig in Camden with Mark_Plus_Beer and Vortext, but Sunday sounds very cool indeed!

So, proper update time! ARRR!!!

To those of you that saw my last entry, to explain my step-brother Stuart got married this Saturday, and a couple of weeks ago I went along to his stag do, which happened to involve playing pool at the Elbow Rooms in Shoreditch, playing Rock Band in the basement of a bar called Juno around the corner, and then heading over...

I played Rock Band with Jamie Cullum last night. He sang Eye of the Tiger and failed. Oh how we laughed. I wish I'd had my camera on me. tongue
