So, the year has ticked over and it’s time for me to spend weeks second guessing myself when I write the date. Wheee! But really, I’m glad to have a nice concrete ‘that’s enough of that’ drawn under last year. Not that it’s been horrific or anything, but it’s good to have the explicit reason [...]

Have a great one, guys. For my part, I’m back at home with my parents. Have had some fantastic presents, some expected and planned (such as new very lovely camera) and some unexpected and also awesome (such as a pair of hardcore Sabatier kitchen knives :D). Currently drinking a tequila sunrise (parents got an ice [...]

So, due to horrible shift schedules and other issues, my housemate Mike and I failed to make a Christmas dinner together. However while we were buying some lazy food this evening it was decreed we should buy a cake and ice it ourselves. So we did. There is a lot of RegalIce in a box, [...]

Job hunting is not going ever so well, and to get a little bit of extra money I’m doing some cheap commissions (alongside my usual ones). £10 or $20 (via paypal) for a basic sketch along the lines of this or this. Add on an extra fiver or ten dollars and I’ll give it some [...]

Well guys, I’ve finished that MA. By now my dissertation should be in the English department’s hands, ready to be marked. Fantastic. By way of celebration, and as a late graduation present, I’m off to LA tomorrow morning to see the excellent C of Dreaming in Red. Which will be awesome. When I get back, [...]

Okay, so, while chilling after the pure BURNING SPIRIT of Gurren Lagann ep 21 (god damn they need to release the DVDs of that series so I can buy them,) On a recommendation from my friend Little Matt I just watched the first episode of ‘Baccano!’ [youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=kJEk5nPbNKo] Definitely going to be giving this at least [...]

And there is too little information to really draw any conclusions, but… Please don’t let this suck please don’t let this suck please don’t let this suck.

Okay, while I freely admit that going into book shops often makes me act like a kid in a candy store, oddly there are only a few book series I actively follow. One of these is Malcolm Pryce’s ‘Louie Knight’ series, though I tend to end up referring to it as the Aberystwyth series. For [...]
