I've been watching a TV programme about anger which has struck a chord with me. Whether due to some deep-down dissatisfaction with my life, whether due to the fact that I think I could do things better than those around me, I find myself often infuriated by the world around me. The programme recommended changes of diet (I do find that sugar will often kick...

Shamed into a new post by the urgings of Dixy I wanted to assure everyone that I'm still around, even if I can be a bit quiet at times. Life's very busy at present, but I try to fit in the odd half-hour on SG before work when I can. Nothing like it to get me awake and raring to go!
So, it seems like...

I'm off work today - developed some kind of cold, fluey thing last night, so being stuck at home, and feeling better than I did, what better time to update my blog (it's about time!). I don't tend to get here as often as I used to these days, which is why I added my MySpace address - it gives more opportunities to keep in...

'Sometimes it snows in April,
Some times I feel so bad
Some times I feel that life is never ending
And all good things they say never last'

(inspired by the weather this morning)

Well, two months have gone by since my last post - time just whizzes past and there seem to be so many calls on my time these days. Apologies for not being here for so long, nonetheless. I'm 'working from home' today while I have a carpet fitted downstairs, so thought I'd use the opportunity to catch up.

There finally seems to be the first...

A new year, a new bang to the head. Those who know me of old will recognise a recurring theme here. Throughout my life, I have had a propensity for banging my head - doors, walls, shelves, cupboards, the ground, you name it, I'll have hit my head on it at some stage. I guess my spacial awareness has never been great, or something. And...

Time for a festive posting I believe. It's bitterly cold here, but with that fresh, clear feeling that I enjoy in the winter (although the house remains pretty chilly). No doubt by Christmas Day itself, it'll be grey and overcast, but nonetheless, I'm starting to feel a bit Christmassy. The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl are on the radio and nothing makes me feel more in...

Bloody hell! I've just banged my head on the bed post - great way to start the day. It's cold too; winter's definitely here. Still, it's bright and clear so not so bad.

And I'm back - new name, new me, returning after far too long in the wilderness. Thanks to all those who've stuck with me in my absence. No promises but I'll try to be a more attentive friend in the future. xx

Spent the weekend at Comics Expo in Bristol (UK). A good time was had by all. I sometimes wonder about fandom, though, and what leads people into it. I mean, I like to think that I appreciate comics as an artform and a storytelling medium - you'd never get me dressed up in a Batman costume, no sir! But who am I kidding - it's...
