When taking a late-night stroll through a fairly remote field do not let your mind wander off and think about the film Zodiac.
Memory man
Thursday, May 8th, 2008I was a little forgetful last night. I filled up my bike at the petrol station and then parked around the back of the station briefly so I could pick up some chips from the chip shop next door. After I had ordered my food I realised that ...
Mario Kart bleurgh
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008I played some more Mario Kart Wii over the Bank Holiday weekend, after I'd recovered some sleep from the film festival. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much more I'll end up playing. I've been relatively positive about the game with my initial impressions, but with some reservations about ...
Seventh Annual London Sci-fi Film Festival
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008This weekend saw me spend about half my time inside a cinema watching sci-fi films, at the seventh annual sci-fi film festival in London. This year's schedule of films was far superior to the previous year, where a misguided collaboration with a horror genre magazine led to half the ...
Crossover Games City of Heroes advocate

Their first album, Dummy, is excellent, their second is much bleaker but still good, and this third album is supposedly even better. That it comes many years after their previous release makes it ...
No jam
Friday, May 2nd, 2008The new extra lane on the M1 has been opened both north- and southbound for the northern half of the expansion project. What a difference it has made! Before this morning, I have never seen southbound commuter traffic moving at anything less than a crawl for a few ...
My head aches
Thursday, May 1st, 2008I have another headache. Or maybe it's the same one from yesterday evening, subdued temporarily by some paracetamol and rearing it's ugly head again. I don't know why, but my headaches simply won't go away without taking some pills. No matter how quiet or relaxed I make ...
Motorbike vs. ambulance
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Heading home from work yesterday I encountered the sadly familiar sight of slow-moving traffic on the motorway, as it edged its way through the roadworks for ten miles or so. I have about six miles to travel through it before a contraflow section allows me to break away from ...
