I'm furious!
I saw Fast & Furious 7 this evening. I had heard good things about it and it is a very silly movie. So far over the top it is rediculous. No 68 mile long runway like the previous one, but plenty of of mindless things that could have been thwarted if someone thought of maybe stopping the vehicle they were in ( Read more... ) -

It takes a bit these days to get me worked up to post a work rant, but it did it today ( Read more... ) -
Another movie!
I just got back from Chappie. It's another movie from Neill Blomkamp and again set in South Africa which makes such a nice change from movies being set in the US. Of course, a large proportion of the movie still takes place in an abandoned factory and/or power station, but it's the thought that counts ( Read more... ) -
Bugs, vermin, what's next?
It has been one of those weeks. A few weeks ago I ran the vacuum through the rooms I don't normally use and discovered in two of them, huge drifts of dead ants. We're talking about 6ft long a foot wide and probably about an inch high in places (It was under a bed, I'm not normally that bad ok ( Read more... ) -
Focus
I saw the first movie of the year tonight - Focus. It was in the "big" cinema. Unfortunately there was only me and two cinema people (on their night off) in it. I really need more friends to see movies with ( Read more... ) -

Artings
There has been several discussions recently about artists and the amount they get paid. Since I've been getting a lot of commissions lately, I thought I'd weigh in with my opinion.
This has turned out to be a lot longer than I thought, so I'll hide it under a cut

Argh! Rage quit!
As anyone who has been following me know, I play World of Warcraft. I never consider myself at the point where I was addicted (others may disagree), but it was my go-to game for passing the time. Anyway, some of the folks I know who use to play WoW have moved onto Star Trek Online and were hassling me to come over, so I thought I'd have a look ( Read more... ) -
I saw a movie
Rather unsurprisingly, I caved in today and saw Guardians of the Galaxy. I'll admit, it is a very cool movie, just the right mix of humour and explosions. Movies don't need much else really ( Read more... ) -
I'm all trauma'ed out
Those who have been paying attention would have known that last week I did a very full on first aid course. Today was the culmination of the course. A full day of scenarios out at site using our own rescue gear (but the trainers trauma packs so we didn't have to ruin ours) A full day of scenarios might sound like a lot. It was three. We ( Read more... )
