love a good story
Most people probably know the story of Snow White — the seven dwarfs; the poison apple; the prince. But I bet not many know of this version by acclaimed horror Mangaka Junji Ito.
A short version but not one to be missed.
I really need to get and watch AHS: Apocalypse before this next series starts. I absolutely adore this show, but I always seem to wait until the next one is coming out before catching up.
1984 looks freaking awesome though – just the concept alone. Can’t wait.
I just stumbled upon a classic episode of the TV series Only Fools And Horses. It’s the one where Del Boy, Rodney and Cassandra win a holiday to Spain after Del sends one of Rodney’s old school paintings into a cereal competition.
This series still stands up and I’m still laughing out loud watching it.
They truly don’t make them quite like this anymore.

Taken by myself at the musée d’Orsay in Paris
During our trip to Paris a few years ago, my girlfriend and I visited a fair number of art galleries. Although I saw a lot of paintings that stood out to me, this one — A Beggar Woman by Hugues Merle — was one that grabbed me the most.
I’m not even sure what it is about it that spoke to me. I just found myself imagining stories within the world this woman lived in.
I am absolutely loving No Man’s Sky. The planets I’ve visited are absolutely stunning!
My first base is on a snowy planet I discovered. I called the planet “Ice Bonga”. The cold storms get pretty nippy on there.
After warp driving to a neighbouring star system, I found another new planet. This is probably my favourite planet yet so have decided to set up camp.
I have named this new planet “Plush Bonga” and have begun the base building.
Decided to go for a stroll, which ended up being a two-hour walk around a local nature reserve. Beautiful scenery but almost got bested by flooding water numerous times.
In celebration of my restarting Alien: Isolation later, I thought I’d share a commemorative picture of Sigourney Weaver from the film Alien.
Looking forward to getting back into Alien: Isolation on the PS4 tonight. I tried playing it about a year ago but I got about an hour or so into it and stopped playing. Dunno why I never went back to it.
However, I have been advised by a couple of mates through PSN that I need to give it another go. So I shall give it a good run this time.
I literally started writing this post at the moment I had the thought that I should be writing more. I love the idea of being a writer and for that I know that all I need to do… is write.
You see, I keep finding myself wanted to write about different topics that interest me, however, I keep thinking that I need to put those posts within a “branded” website.
For example, I actively write on another blog at https://horror-manga.com which is about Horror Manga (in case you didn’t guess). And that website is fine for me to write for too. But I found myself wanted to write about other aspects of horror. And instead of just writing on this website, I keep trying to come up with brandable website ideas in order to publish them somewhere I consider to be legit.
But this is actually keeping me from just writing about things that I want to write about.
That’s why, as soon as I had this thought, I wanted to just write about it straight away. I want to stop trying to make myself some brandable entity and just fucking write because I enjoy it.
And aint even gonna edit this one… warts an’ all.
Publish.
