Natural Born Losers by Nicole Dollanganger
This week’s episode of “The Walking Dead” was quite an emotional one. One of the more likeable, newer characters got a good amount of screen time for some interesting character development. That was just before that person was shot in the back of the head with an arrow. When carrying her body back to the…

All I Need by Foxes
I’ve never been much of a Doctor Who fan but I do sometimes find myself watching it with my girlfriend, who likes it. One of the better episodes I have seen was one called “Mummy on the Orient Express”. It was about a Mummy that was killing off passengers in a space version of the…

This Is Acting by Sia
As soon as the opening song’s first chorus hit my eardrum, it just blew me away. The song felt familiar and yet still fresh. As I continued through the rest of the album I kept getting that same thought. It didn’t take many listens before this album quickly became one of my go-to albums when…

Art Angels by Grimes
This is the album that made me want to start trying to write about my favourite albums – both old and new. Grimes is an artist in the truest sense of the word. She reminds me of people like David Bowie, Peter Gabriel and Jack White – she uses whatever instruments or sounds fit the…

100 Days : Day Eight (93)
Playing through The Last of Us again. I think that this is the first game since final fantasy 7 where I’ve started it again as soon as I completed it. This time I felt more bad ass because I know the enemy patterns and what to expect when. Listened to Foxes’ new album today. Is…

100 Days : Day Seven (94)
Decided to Install Windows 7 back on to my P.C. as the primary operating system, then run GNU/Linux within virtualbox. Thought I’d give steam games on windows another go as I’ve got 8gb of ram sat there not really doing much. This way all my development stuff can be encapsulated within the virtual machine. Also…

100 Days : Day Five (96)
I think I may be addicted to playing Bitcoin Billionaire. It’s annoying because I know it’s a waste of time and yet I still find myself tapping away like a mad person. Discovered a new album through some random listens today — Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans by Uffie. From the first song on this…

100 Days : Day Four (97)
Slept in till 10:40. In the early afternoon we went for a run around Kingsbury Water Park. A load of the water’s-edge trees have been cut down, not sure why though. When we got there it was nice to see that the car park was pretty empty – no masses of people to avoid when…

100 Days : Day Three (98)
Today I saw possibly the worst film of my life – Dirty Grampa – at Vue, Star City. I think in parts the humour actually offended me. I couldn’t believe this was the same guy I’d seen in Jackie Brown. On a more positive note, me and Liz did go for a nice meal at…

100 Days : Day Two (99)
My fish and chips have just arrived. Currently sat in Sainsbury’s cafe once again. My nectar points are gonna be through the roof by Christmas. I’m thinking about restarting the ecommerce CMS I started for my last 100 days attempt. Except this time not part of the 100 days. Cant help thinking it’s a waste…

100 Days : Day One (100)
Mid last year I heard about the idea of the 100 days project. In a nutshell, you pick some form of creative pursuit — no matter how simple or complex — and commit to performing that action every day for 100 days. I put the idea to some co workers. One person out of a…
