Notes
Just fleeting thoughts that pop into my mind. Or perhaps things I’ve been thinking about that don’t really warrant a full-on post.

It’s been a while
I’ve not been writing as often as I’d like this last week. Partly this is due to my having done the Birmingham International Marathon last Sunday and being in recovery from a knee injury from that. But I know that’s a pathetic excuse – there’s always my phone that I can write posts on after…

I did the Birmingham International Marathon and would really appreciate any donations for the Brum Childrens Hospital – https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/bad-man-ting

Sometimes the words just don’t flow. Took me two nights to write a little post about a collection of short manga stories.

The Last of Us review
The Last of Us was released in 2013, yet i didn’t get to play it till three years later. But when I did, it quickly became one of my top three games of all time. Its whole world and the characters within have somehow become a part of me. Joel and Ellie have become two of…

The Trip with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon
The Trip is a British TV sitcom starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. In it, they play semi-fictionalised versions of themselves as they travel to various restaurants in order to review them for a paper. Each series focuses on a single country. The story that runs through The Trip is a simple one, giving plenty…

Thoughts on the film “Neon Demon”
With its gorgeous visuals and pulsing soundtrack, Neon Demon is a film that I won’t be forgetting in a hurry. The majority of the story felt to me like it was floating in and out of the conscious mind, with an increasing level of abstract as it went on. What’s The Neon Demon about? The…

Life is Strange: Before the storm episode 1 (Awake)
Going back to the coastal Pacific Northwestern town of Arcadia Bay has been a joy. So many familiar places and people made it welcoming once again. As to did the game’s visual style and character development. One of the central points of Life is Strange was Max Caulfield’s new power – the ability to rewind…

So. Neon Demon. That was an experience.

You’ll die if you try – Thoughts on the film IT
I will always remember the original TV mini-series of IT with fondness and nostalgia; it was the first thing I watched that scared the crap out of me. I was extremely wary, I might even say pessimistic, about the new theatrical version to come out this year. However, after deciding to give it a chance…

Thoughts on the film mother!
I had zero knowledge of ‘mother!’ when I went in to see it, other than it was directed by the same guy who had made Black Swan (which I love). This is always my preferred way of experiencing a film – without knowing what it’s about. Little did I know I would be led down…

Birmingham Marathon 2017 – 30 days to go
Today’s run left me feeling a lot more confident for the upcoming marathon than the previous Sunday’s. Last Sunday I attempted this route but ran on an empty stomach which, amongst other factors, caused me to stop at the 8.3 mile mark. This time I made sure I had a good meal one hour before…
