If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • Split Slate and Fiction

    A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

  • Reading on a Deadline

    Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

  • Travels and (Almost) Total Solar Eclipse

    There are plenty of reasons to holiday in the Catalan capital. Sangria. Tapas. Gaudi. Xocolate. Our summer holiday was a re-do of last years washed out trip to Barcelona. Surely it couldn’t rain the entire time in August? Thankfully this time we only got an hour or so over the duration of the holiday. X…

It’s slightly overdue, I know, but I was too busy enjoying myself with friends, food, films and Firefly of course! And various other bits and pieces – revision, computer tweaking and all the rest. It’s…

  • Another year, another post

    Hello hello, and might I add a happy new year to you! The end of 2011 is nigh, and I’m sitting in my grandparent’s house with my family, bringing in the new year. As of yet, I’m without a resolution for this coming year, but there’s still some time to think on it. I don’t…

  • Stuff going on!

    Great movie mistakes, not so great after all. Robert Webb, how could you do this? It just makes you come across as a terribly petty person, pointing out every tiny inconsistency in films. If you’ve put that much effort into finding flaws with the film you really aren’t watching it right. Try to sit back…
