Now that was close - far closer than you ever want to get to seeing thirteen/fourteen YEARS of playing Ultima Online going down the toilet.

And relax...

Fucking marvellous. My primary Ultima Online account is having billing problems. I should've expected something like this, now that my back is getting better...

Okay, movie review time, and I'll make this short and not entirely sweet...

Transformers: Age of Extinction. It was like this...

- Too long.- For a "semi-reboot", it seemed like just a whole bunch more of the same ( Read more... )

I was back at work this afternoon. All went well. I think I may have forgotten my meds at dinner-time, though, so maybe we'll learn for sure what pills are doing the job (I know what my money's on).

In equally upbeat news, Saturday lunchtime will be cinema time again, with more Transformers. Oddly enough, I've been kinda feeling like Jetfire from ( Read more... )

Current Status: Fair. Not in agony, and managing to get around a whole lot better than Day 1 or 2. Having a weekend to crash out throughout has been a big help, although I'm still not entirely sure some of the drugs are doing what they should, whilst others are doing a good deal more to ease me through this ( Read more... )

Dammit.

UPDATE: This...

So much for me being more regular with blogging.

Anyway, on to something else: new video series...!



Elsewhat... Toilet Bat was safely returned to the roost, I'm told - but not before another two bats had a similar problem, and one did not survive. A shame, but hopefully that issue is now fully dealt with, and the colony is now secure.

Oh, so Metallica aren't "chilled out" enough to play on a certain night at Glastonbury, eh...

Oh, hold everything: Francis Matthews, the voice of Captain Scarlet, has died. Damn it. There goes another piece of a glorious TV past we will not see again...

WTF? Casey (Shaggy) Kasem, too? Holy shite.

Now, where was I...?

Jarvis Cocker has called ( Read more... )
