I'm still around, but I just went through a month that has eroded some of my enthusiasm. Minecraft troubles (now resolved pretty much), back pain (still an issue)... that kinda thing. So, what can I talk about today?

The big news would have to be that GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY has become the most successful film in the US this summer, and perhaps ( Read more... )

Weird title that, yeah. All I'm saying is that you can tell someone is lying when they say they knew how Super Bowl XLVIII was going to go.

Meanwhile... the last batch of ...Stargazer Season 1 has been delivered:







...and Season 2 is now in the initial stages of post-production. I have new software to learn before I can really make that ( Read more... )

The lady sings, and we are ready to go... Super Bowl XLVIII...

Kinda wanting the Seahawks to win, but hey, just give us a game worthy of The Big Game!

"The Move" is another step closer to being FINALLY done, in that we have the first stage of recarpeting completed - and by this time tomorrow that phase should all be finished. About freakin' time...

Yesssss - so much nicer underfoot.

Coming Up... a weekend where much should be happening: The Super Bowl, of course; the final posts for ... ( Read more... )

"Team Rice" versus "Team Sanders"? What the hell is happening to the NFL Pro Bowl? Okay, so the "All-Star Game" isn't that much of a draw these days - but didn't messing around with the dates of the Pro Bowl and the Super Bowl probably didn't help. The Pro Bowl used to be AFTER the Big Game, so you at least stood SOME chance of seeing players from ( Read more... )

Heading towards a (spoilers!) Season I finale...



Kinda thinking we'll hit the final episode on Super Bowl Sunday - that's one week from today! Pro Bowl today - but WTF have they done to that game??? It's not even Conference vs Conference any more...

(Link for music on this post...)

First, this:-



FINALLY... things are coming together with ...Stargazer Season IV: Nightmare Scenario - and that we can attribute to a pair of villagers who were fruitful and multiplied (and several villager zombies who got cured).

Elsewhat... Did some shopping. Ordered some stuff I've been meaning to get, and some imminent essentials. Spent one ( Read more... )

No... sorry... I can't do it. Today's news broadcasts deliver good news for a change, but the real headline has to be...

the first FULL trailer for CAPTAIN AMERICA - THE WINTER SOLDIER

- and Blockbuster Season 2014 gets its first salvo in early.

In other news... Following on from last night...

The Grangemouth petrochemical plant is staying open ( Read more... )

Terrific. Minecraft is getting another patch, which will probably break the game as far as my Season 2 mods are concerned - and just as things are getting interesting... although I did have a serious scare earlier, when my experimental Nether-ship - in development in the "surface" world, experienced a horrendous bug-out, and for a few minutes, I ( Read more... )

Hmmm - come tomorrow, and it seems another step towards the completion of The Move may just be done. Exciting, yes?

What else is there? Oh, yeah - we are, scarily enough, closing in on the start of the football season! Go Redskins!

Just don't remind me about that email account that's closing. I know - and why should I pay a monthly fee to a ( Read more... )
