Yay, it's comic delivery time again, and some pretty major events are either continuing or winding up, as I shall now report...

( WARNING! High levels of spoiler contamination ahead! )

The monthly comics delivery arrived today, and featuring pretty heavily in this consignment was the latest Marvel event "Age Of Ultron" - but three issues in, I'm saying ENOUGH. Please stop with the "put the heroes through the wringer" CRAP. Yet again, their backs are against the wall - quite literally, if you're Captain America. Issue 2 is mostly ( Read more... )

(...make that expired...)

And on the same day as "The White Skull" "quits", Geoff Johns calls an end to his run on Green Lantern - a greater reason for world-wide sorrow...?

Oh, here's a "nugget" for you: doctors keep getting condemned by the "religious" for "playing God", yet they went ahead and implanted a pacemaker in "The Holy Father". Oh, ( Read more... )

I freely admit to being a Marvel fan of long standing, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see a DC Comics movie do as well as AVENGERS, or even better (and The Dark Knight Rises came pretty close). If the film's good enough, then the accolade is justly deserved... but I just feel that Justice League won't work.

( A BIG opinion piece follows... )

Gods, my sleep patterns are messed up... guess Civilization V until 4 in the morning isn't such a great idea. So, what else happened (apart from once again missing part of South Park's "Cartoon Wars")...?

Comics? Check! The parcel was waiting for me when I got home, and included the conclusion of Avengers vs X-Men (it was okay, and might perhaps ( Read more... )

Roof Work - Day 3: Work got started about 0800. By the time I got home, at least half the roof had been cleared of slates. Holy crap - what busy little beavers!

We are most definitely getting moving with this. About time too.

Also today... COMICS. There weren't any non-paper "goodies" in this month's parcel, quite a few of which have been ordered ( Read more... )

- 16th June 2011 -

An 0600 start, and a big, busy day. Barely enough time to think, let alone relax!

Aaaaand, we're back!

This isn't the official "means of connection" - not yet, anyway, but that's due back in operation soon - but Work provides me with a way to get back online, and I am at last taking advantage of it.

So what's the score, trav'llin' man...? On the whole, things have gone "okay",but that doesn't mean without incident. One room ( Read more... )

These are simultaneously going to be the longest and shortest three weeks of my life...

We have a Move date.

Parts of the house are already looking bare, and I've simply got to say it: it freaks me out. It's... it's like walking into a hotel room, not part of the house you've spent all your life in. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to work; a " ( Read more... )

That's the first day of Proper Work done following Work Slot 2, but everything isn't 100% "right". I think The Move is starting to affect me - I'm going to have to start making SERIOUS efforts to get stuff shifted, and that means comic boxes. Full comic boxes...

Meanwhile... This weekend will be another "Move-fest", with the Monaco Grand Prix as a ( Read more... )
