Fanfic, innit.

This is Level 5, a fanfic set in Knightmare RPG continuity. It happens between the cataclysm that reshapes the Dungeon at the end of RPG Series 6 and the beginning stages of RPG Series 7, and goes some way to explaining the disappearance of some characters. But mostly, it's an action-packed fanfic. I hope you read it, even if "enjoy" ( Read more... )

When I listen to my iPod, scenes are constructed in my head. A very common one involves me and my dad on stage. We've formed a comedy singing double act called "Pookie & Ali". Ju sits and plays the piano and we're singing Flanders & Swann songs. He's the straight man and I'm the comic foil. People are laughing. The scenes come up so often, I know ( Read more... )

Twenty-five years ago, the first episode of Knightmare aired on CITV. Although I didn't get to see it until it was on Sci-Fi (now SyFy), having started watching Knightmare during Series 5 (I was only 3 when it started!), the programme has had a positive effect on me throughout my whole life.

From incorporating its world and characters into our ( Read more... )

I am aware, before you say so, of how long it's been. Well, I've been busy and a lot of my creative/expressive energy has gone into my other projects, which take up a lot of my time. I'm sure some of you know what some of those are. I went to a meeting the other week which ended with me brimming full of ideas, which is positive, at least creatively ( Read more... )

My horoscope in the Metro today reads thus:

PiscesToday is the day your life begins to turn around. You've done the ground work, you've put in the time and now the world is ready to hear what you have to say. Your smile will also help win almost anyone over ( Read more... )

I'm listening to Spanish music, or as close as is possible, because I'm likely to be teaching Spanish students in the future. You know, at some point. It'll be funny if any of them act like Manuel. I'm not entirely sure if that's a totally accurate representation of your common-or-garden Spaniard, and I may have to stop saying "¿Qué?" if I don't ( Read more... )

Due to an incident involving dragons, I'm no longer a permanent member of Williams College.

Don't worry, I didn't get fired. The same thing happened here as happened at Merryhills - due to cuts, class sizes and - would you believe it - "available classroom space" (following this fabled merger), I was made redundant as one of four English teachers ( Read more... )

As you may know if you've been paying attention to me on Facebook (or even if you've looked at my user info), I've been working at Williams College for the past one-and-a-half-months. I'm teaching two classes a day, and although that amounts to six hours in total, I have a split shift, which means that although I have three-and-a-half-hours in the ( Read more... )

Ladies and gentlemen.

Vote.I cannot emphasise this enough. I got up early today to go and vote before work. Postal, proxy, personal - I don't care how you do it. But for Glod's sake, get out and vote ( Read more... )

So, erm, yeah, I start my new job kind of tomorrow and kind of the day after.

I'll probably need to explain. I didn't even mention that I had a new job. Never mind the fact that I had a different one last week and now I've got this one, and then there's another one which... okay, let's explain this as best I can without being really boring ( Read more... )
