Roald Dahl - My Uncle Oswald
no, I havn’t finished it yet, but my god, this is a wicked little book. From the same author who wrote ‘Matilda’, ‘The Twits’ and ‘James & The Giant Peach’, 3 of my childhood favourite books, it’s so…. dark. I have a new found admiration for Dahl, I may have to search out his other adult literature. If anyone else can help me with...

finished The Time Machine
what I have learned, *spoilers alert*:
Littering of the time continuum is perfectly acceptable practice. The eponymous Time Traveller sent a bunch of miniature ‘machine’ models in the past and future as trials for his experiment, so somewhere in 1587 AD there must exist a miniature model of a Time Machine on somebody’s coffee table, and in all possibility one could just randomly...

Pokemon SoulSilver - Live Update
Yeah. I’m playing this at work because everybody else has booked the week off this week behind my back and left me to run the department on my own :(.
Anyway, I was outside Mt Silver, but I just googled Red’s team and I think i’ll get my ass handed to me, so I’ve gone after Articuno at Seafoam Islands, and to level up a little bit.
Everyone is Lvl 67, except my Pichu...

names for my movie blog that aren't going to be...
I wanted to call it Popcorn but somebody already took that name like, 6 years ago, wrote 3 posts, then never used it again as far as one can tell.
Before that i’d wanted to call it Microwave but somebody already registered with that URI and obviously, never bothered to use it. L4M3.
I was going to go with Fffire but now I’m not, because a very long time ago, on Myspace, that was the...
Tsutomu Miyazaki →
readmorewikipedia:
During the day, Miyazaki was a mild-mannered employee. Outside of work, he randomly selected children to kill. He terrorized the families of his victims, sending them letters recalling in graphic detail what he had done to their children. To the family of victim Erika Nanba, Miyazaki sent a morbid postcard assembled using words cut out of magazines: “Erika. Cold. Cough....

“about the x factor: This is a show that represents all that’s dismal, low-rent and predictable about British life. It’s tinsel draped round a turd - a cavalcade of gaudiness, manipulation and fake emotion. It recycles a pathetically narrow version of pop history, and creates almost nothing new.”

So i've been thinking...
…about starting a movie blog, I watch films, probably not as many as I ought to, and I like films quite alot. I’m a fan of Nostalgia Critic and everything that James Rolfe does. More recently, Tumblr staff very kindly introduced us to Lazy Reviewer which is still my favourite Tumblr and i’d be lying if I said she hasn’t influenced me. While i’m giving shout outs I...

Actually, scratch and edit that.
I’ve seen foals:
at Coventry Colosseum (a.k.a. - The Kasbah)
at a HMV instore in Birmingham.
at Carling Academy, Birmingham (theoretically twice, but the first time around I had to leave early so I only saw them open with XXXXX into French Open before I left.)
and at Reading festival, 08
So it will be the 5th time. i’m just sayin’.

start-the-machine asked: There is no need to reply. But I cannot write on your posts haha
Nice to see another person agrees with me on the Michael Bay/Transformers front.
It really does annoy me. The cartoons were so much better. The films make no sense. The script/acting just everything is terrible..
but that is Michael Bay for you... Just look at Pearl Harbour lol
Ah well I shall stop...

Words cannot express my rage at this man and what he has done to Transformers.
PFFFFT!
But I know I will end up going to see it… and walking out and just nerdraging about it all the way home.
AGREED!! I used to watch the cartoons when I was little, and for that reason i’ve avoided the movies as much as possible.
