Man-Flu
I’m currently dead, so, leave a message.
So Peter got back to me...
First off, I’m actually quite surprised I got a reply. But yeah; It seems they remade the ending after the cut I saw, I guess they updated the ending so it wasn’t completely unbelievable.
It’s entirely likely that the updated version was scarier than the one I saw, apparently Steven Spielberg helped point out where some changes needed to be made, so it’s questionable. I...
An open e-mail to Peter Bradshaw
Peter Bradshaw, Writing mainly due to your review on the film Paranormal Activity. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/nov/25/paranormal-activity-review Are you serious? Paranormal Activity was the most bland, boring, stupid, ridiculous film I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t scary, the actors were mediocre At Best. The characters were annoying to the extent you ended up wanting them to...

Paperplain
Paperplain is so cute, even her music is cute. I hate to just be another guy but that is about as far as my opinion extends. I wish I could write more intrinsicly.
Just a quick disclaimer to people who know me; Yes I am talking about music. I realise that is unlike everything about the history of me but I do actually listen to music sometimes, and (very) rarely (VERY rarely) actually buy it. Well...
My extremely inital thoughts
Left4Dead2… I’ve been playing you for a couple hours now and I’ve gotta say. You’ve got your charm. And OK yes, some parts are similar to Left4Dead, and yes, I do wish I could still play those old levels without having to rebuy the game. But you’re definitely not the same game, or some “upgrade” or patch. You do truly deserve the sale.
A couple things I...
V, just not for Vendetta
So, yet another remake, V is taken from the original 1983 miniseries by the same name. Arriving on Earth, the “V’s” who’re cloned to look like us are now are seemingly fixing our errors, re-establishing the survival of humanity and effectively “saving” us from our faults. All this, they claim, simply for the water they need to live.

2012
2012. It’s an OK movie. I mean it’s not great, not even a match to The Day After Tomorrow (Which I enjoyed.) But it is most definitely a popcorn film. And it wasn’t terrible. The basic storyline behind this is as follows: The London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony sucked so much compared to China’s that the world literally gave up and decided to destroy itself.
OK, the...
This Week in Wonderland
In an attempt to get used to implementing pictures into the site, this week I will have an update every single day. This is mainly an exercise to try and get used to the types of images and photos I need to use in each post, but obviously you guys can completely ignore that and end with the basic “Yay, guaranteed new content.”
I do have a load of assignments due in back at my real...
Mismatched to Mysticly Mix in the Misfits
Let me start with a “Well Done” to E4. Usually teenage drama’s just revolve around the cliché (and slightly boring) sex and drugs, high school sucks but we have fun theme. The intro to this show drew me in quite well, a group of community service kids, characters covering the various personalities associated with youth and the Hot Chip music to match.

Too Much Variation
I’m currently in the market for a phone. I’ve been for a while, but it’s so hard to find one I actually want. There are too many bloody choices. What’s worse, when I find a phone I want I then end up finding it was discontinued. (A’ Lal: Blackberry Pearl Flip)
Basically, I want a phone which has a good e-mail and twitter facility. Looking at the blackberry’s...
Serious News about Breasts
OK. Bar my previous post, there has actually been some breaking news concerning breasts. Posted a couple hours ago (I figured I’d wait a while after the previous post.) on the guardian’s website, information on a new surgical treatment designed to actually regrow breast tissue, primarily designed for cancer patients.
“Human trials for the procedure, which scientists hope could...
Breaking News!
In possibly the most important study in the world today, German scientist Dr. Karen Weatherby proved that men who stare at breasts should live longer than those that don’t. With a 10 minute stare-fest equating an astonishing 30 minutes aerobics workout, ogling breasts may decrease the risk of coronary artery disease and actually lowers blood pressure.
“The team led by Weatherby was...
WatchOmg. This looks so Kickarse!
Seriously looking forward to this. (Mostly because it’s the combination of basically every superhero story I made up as a kid.)
Titanic =/= Good morals
You know what annoys me about films.
That whole “Girls dates guy because his different to the norm”
I mean really, the examples are like the rich stuck up girl meeting a poor but lovable dude; a cheerleader/preppy chick who dates a nerd/geek; the successful businesswoman who dates a starving artist; even the Catholic girl and the atheist rebel kid. “Ahh, I love you because...
Words forever
Fire’s falling, Flowers blooming, Love is looming, Up above. Next is freedom, Death, not never, Flying forever, like a dove. If words where wisdom, And flowers forever, Life would never, Feel alone. But then again, If fire falling, Forever calling, your name, unknown.

OK, so I'm a liar.
Yeah, no poetry as yet. I’m lazy, I’ve been writing more on the book I’m current working on. I do doubt if it will ever be published, but it’s fun to write. Hopefully I will get at least a few short stories out of this project, at the least.
I’m not planning on actually disclosing much until after I’ve finished, in case it is published, so don’t expect...
Upcoming Posts
Just a quick word, with next week being quite busy, I’m going to be uploading a few examples of my older poetry. Adding a little more content to fill the site so that even though it’s not new content it’ll be something. Also, as DeviantArt isn’t so good with promoting poetry, so this way there’s a lot better chance that people will actually read some of them. (I...

Restarting this website... Again.
The amount of blogs, websites and redesigns I’ve been through is quite ridiculous. This time I’ve decided to go with tumblr, seems good enough and at the least I can put everything all in one place.
Bare with me if I don’t post too much to start with but it’s a work in progress. I still have my own life which takes up a lot of time and I’ll need to figure out a...
