Waiting For... The first installment of NEW Elfquest!

Still Reeling From... - the news that Michael Fassbender will star in a movie based on the life of legendary unique entertainer Frank Sidebottom!!!

...and the fact that the NFL season is now underway ALREADY. GO REDSKINS! (1-0!) Pity I missed the start of the deviantART Pick-'Em AGAIN ( Read more... )

Okay, it's all over now. The London 2012 Olympics have come to an end, and what an ending - a disappointing ending, that is ( Read more... )

ITEM! I'm giving Holiday 2012 the code-name Operation Haphazard. Why? 'Cause I can...

ITEM! Thinking about my Mission 101, and the gaping chasm caused in my efforts by work and moving, I'm seriously considering giving myself a one-year extension. All my failed or unstarted Tasks, over the official period, still count as failed or unstarted, and I ( Read more... )

This just in: there are no waffles.

Really been enjoying the archery.

ITEM! Oh dear - it's now August, the start of the last ( Read more... )

It's Monday, so back to work...

Swimming? Check.
Archery? Check.

Meanwhile... Oh YES. The scaffolding is away from my bedroom window! Just one decent day ( Read more... )

Oooohkay, I dropped a day. Guess having the biggest sporting event in my memory in this country can mess things up a bit. So, let's see what's been happening other than that...

Development News... *gasp* I got woken up early, and grasped the opportunity to reacquaint myself with writing, which has not been enough of a priority in recent weeks. I ( Read more... )

The teams are being introduced as I write (right now Cameroon and Canada), and the whole opening ceremony for the Olympics has been a pretty impressive show, avoiding the predictable and providing some memorable scenes - a countryside replaced by industry to produce a fifth red-hot Olympic ring in particular. I'm hoping all the nay-sayers have been ( Read more... )

This Just In... Another "death in the family" for Doctor Who, following the announcement today of the passing of Mary Tamm, who played Time Lord Romana alongside Tom Baker's iconic fourth incarnation of The Doctor.
