Just shared these videos to my Facebook so I thought I'd stick them here too


(Contains archive footage of Blackshirts getting a kicking, which everybody enjoys!)


I didn't know about the Rebecca Riots before I found this song!

RIP Vaclav Havel. It's not every day the world loses such a great man...

Writers block: Are you afraid of the dark?

When was the last time you were frightened out of your wits? Spooky stories welcome!

I get panic attacks which are often scary as hell, like waking and feeling like I'm spinning round my room. Or feeling like something's lying on me and I can't move. Those are quite frightening. I get freaked out fairly easily.

I'm also a bugger for getting freaked out by watching/reading stuff. My scariest movies are Quatermass and the Pit and The Stone Tape. My sister and I think these would be the ultimate Halloween double bill!

Playing with my new camera

I get paid soon and am going to have a new laptop, well new-old, a reconditioned one. I want a sewing machine and a ukelele and a better camera and an ipod and I can get all those things cheap due to offers/cash converters/the tech exchange place. I could do with some new (or new-old) clothes as well.

Yesterday I did some overtime at work, then went and did my food shopping. I had paid for stuff in Tesco, then noticed that the charity bookstall was back! You had to put the money in the box and I didnt have any change so I went up and bought one of those massive energy drinks, which I kind of needed anyway at that point, so I had something to put in the box and could get the books I wanted. One is a 50s housewivery manual put out to plug an electrical products company, there's an Agatha Christie and I also got a John Creasy but it's a bit boring so I didnt take a pic.

Popping down to the Clangers in Waddo for an hour or so this afternoon, yay!

I have Nikki Sixx's Heroin Diaries. They're ... eye opening to say the least! Bizzarely enough Paul wants to read them despite the Motley hate.

I'm doing that cleaning contract again this year, starting from Monday :)

It looks like my files will be recoverable, thank hell, and I'm in the process of sorting it out. But for now, have a rubbishy little snippet I wrote this morning :)

( The Time Before )

Overall I enjoyed it I think. And this isn't a review as such, more a load of disjointed thoughts based on the notes I made in Lloyds Bar after coming out of the Odeon.

( Spoileriffic )

To boil it down, I didn't sit there cringing and I didn't leave the cinema thinking HOW DARE THEY, but it wasn't perfect either. I felt the did a fairly good job seeing as most people in my experience don't even know what Green Lantern is. My non comic book reading boyfriend loved it, another comic fan I spoke to didn't enjoy it much and knew non comic readers who couldn't figure out what was going on and what his powers were. I've heard some very mixed things about it.

I also teared up a number of times but says nothing, considering I've been a blubbering mess watching the Casper The Friendly Ghost movie. And listening to music everyone thinks is cheesy. And reading comics. More times than I want to even want to think about. I think I was born with hyperactive tear ducts or something.

Things I have got done:

*Made a move towards sorting out some relatoinship issues.
*Done a ton of work for Oxfam, 22 items ready to go online with nifty write-ups.
*Made myself a sexxy new wallpaper and a silly sexxy comic book manip thing.
*And now I'm going to blog

Here's some pics from the weekend but he warned a lot of them are pictures of busses :P

Silly story: Paul and I were talking about if we got married and how fun it would be to do the reception at Barrow Hill and have everyone go up on vintage busses. Then I remembered that when I was a teen at college there was an ad for a company that hired old busses for weddings and I had this massive rant about how the only person who'd want that was some rich person who'd never had to take a bus anywhere regularly, like Marie Antionette dressing up as a milkmaid. You see at the time I had these hellish journeys too and from Plymouth five days a week, the morning ones it was hard to get a seat because they only ran a single decker, and the evening ones which were double deckers were damp with seats that smelt of mould and if it was raining the roof leaked and there was a big puddle in the aisle. And you'd always get some irritating random person perstering you. So busses were not my fave thing at the time. Fast forward 10-ish years....

Mind you I'd rather they had toilets and you could take booze on them...

I just realised Scum 1968 have a Jewish frontman, a Welsh dude and a girl drummer, does this remind you of anything WTF?

Also they look like them in some photos seriously. Heh.
