No, no. It's not about me...it's about YOU. I write this stuff for fun, and largely to provide a source of information about certain games (TF2, The Sims 3) directly from a user point of view. I can answer questions about gaming stuff. Just leave me a comment. Other than that, my main addiction is Law and Order and finally getting round to doing my Bachelor of Laws. And so that you're not disappointed, the social networking links on the left don't work. I don't use those. Read more about me »
The Friday Five for 26th February 2010. This time, it’s about reading. 1) What’s your favorite magazine? I don’t read ‘magazines’ as such, certainly not the glossy ones. However, I do have a subscription to Private Eye. 2) What book are you currently reading? I’m on Daemon at present, by Daniel Suarez. I’ve almost finished [...]
A mediocre element of this week I took the final exam for A210 on Wednesday. Part of me thought that I should be nervous, another part of me thought that I hadn’t done enough revision. So, I get into this exam, in, of all places, Essex County Cricket Ground and when the exam beings I [...]
This morning I received a newsletter from Amazon. It was telling me about great books that I might be interested in. However, on closer inspection I was a little surprised to find two things in this newsletter which are mutually exclusive. Yes, unfortunately you are seeing that correctly. Amazon have lumped in a distinctly non-fiction [...]
For Christmas, I had bestowed upon me by my very generous parents, the latest Snow Patrol Album – A Hundred Million Suns. Oooh it’s good. Makes me feel similar to the first time I heard their last album, Eyes Open. Oooh it’s good. It’s the kind of stuff that you play quite loud because it [...]
Another year has slipped me by in this futile world. 2009 is almost upon us, but lo! Where did 2008 go? It feels as though it were mere weeks ago that I was sat on my parents sofa at Christmas totally engrossed by what is now my favourite book. The Picture of Dorian Gray. And [...]
I am a great believer in the idea that people can tell an awful lot about you based upon the company that you keep. I don’t keep much company, so I’m rather a mystery to most people. Supplementary to that, I also believe that people can tell a lot about you based upon the types [...]
I feel very much like that today. I rejected reality by leaving work early. It’s been a hard week. I am rejecting more of reality by not bothering to do any more studying of this chapter. I am attempting to reject some more reality by putting off doing something or another with a digital photoframe [...]
Hello indeed. It has been a little while. According to my Movable Type panel, it’s been four days since my last entry. What Ho! I’ve been a little busy. The weekend I was coerced into playing Bioshock, for some of it at least. I’m only on the second “level” if you can call it that. [...]
One of the most boring things in life is having to wait for someone or something to turn up. I missed the electricity meter reader yesterday afternoon, the note in the door said that he would come this morning. I got up before 8am. He hasn’t been yet, although it is barely beyond 9:30am. I [...]
There are days when I feel like that. Completely vacuous. It’s a horrible feeling. Today appears to be one of them. I have times when just want to read, and read, and read, and read a little more. And, oh yes, read. Today is one of them. The weather outside is absolutely horrible, and for [...]
