It’s the end of the year and I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them. Yes, I’m celebrating Festivus, as usual, and the feat of strength is to find a top entrant for each arbitrary aspect of the year I feel like grieving about. Well, what are we [...]

I’m not looking for the leads on this one, I’m talking background gold. I want the unsung heroes that nail every episode with a single look in a scene or one line between the constant flapping of the actual stars. These are the ones that make it worthwhile sticking around and watching every episode. These [...]

I am an avid LOST fanatic. I have stated many times that it is the greatest show ever created, in my opinion. I even spent some time on the weekend drinking and arguing that point with my friends. LOST has absolutely everything I could ever want from a television show. It is the ultimate.
But I [...]

I’ve been waiting for this series for months now. I didn’t realise there’d be a new episode each day, that’s pretty wicked.
For those who don’t know, Ed Brubaker is the guy who currently writes Daredevil, and is doing a wickedly great job at it, he also writes Criminal, which is currently on hiatus for Incognito, [...]

That title is a swipe from a line of Stephen King’s Hearts In Atlantis. He is referring to picking up the chicks that you don’t want to, if you get my drift. I, however, am referring to a multitude of sins.
Writing, always first and foremost, I just felt like I was slopping the hogs all [...]

It’s the end of 2008. Holy shit is the only way to describe it all. I am sitting in an empty house right now, the laptop heating up my thighs (but not my pills, I want to have kids one day) and I have my feet up on a removalist box full of kitchen gear. [...]

Writing over xmas can be about as futile as trying to exercise over xmas, or eat healthy. Sometimes you have to just sit down and realise that certain things are not going to happen. My mind works in the way that I figure if I do enough of it throughout the year then I am [...]

Sometimes you just have to revert to the classics to recharge your batteries.
A comfort movie is perfect to make you feel at home. I can slip on pretty much any Kevin Smith film and just be satisfied to be in front of it. Afterwards, I will feel better for having watched it and usually have [...]

I’ve been gone for two weeks. I’ve travelled many a click to go right up the Australian coast, right back down it, got over 2000 clicks done in one day between planes and automobiles, no trains though, and caught up with many people. Drank a few litres of gin, some port and ate a lot [...]

Just finished the third issue of my purloined idea. The final scene, a big fight involving demons, flying, barbed tails, a bit of self-referentialism and a cliffhanger has been hanging over me for what feels like the better part of a week. I just didn’t know exactly what would happen.
I finally got it down today, [...]
