Welcome to my modest little corner of the world wide web. It’s a website that struggles with its identity at times.
The site has been a business page for my ill-fated web design company; a virtual photography gallery; a Junji Ito Manga Reviews blog and personal twitter-like site. Now it is a mashup of all those things.
Put simply, it’s my website.
In a world of AI-generated crap, I aim to be an example of original posts, thoughts and opinions…
… though I can’t promise it wont be crap in its own way.
Virtual Photography collections

- Watched The Fog
I do love a John Carpenter film. Last night (and today, as I was too tired to watch the whole thing late last night) I watch The Fog for the first time. At least I don’t remember watching it in my youth. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It actually made me jump in two separate parts,… Read more: Watched The Fog - Watched Alien Romulus
I’ll just start by saying that I really enjoyed Alien Romulus. After the atrocity that was Disney’s How to train your alien (Alien Earth) I have been in need of a good Alien fix. This started with me finally playing through Alien Isolation and absolutely loving it. I then thought I’d give Romulus a chance,… Read more: Watched Alien Romulus - Watched The Innocents (1961)
We decided to watch The Innocents (1961) for halloween evening film watch last night. A bit of a left field one, but is considered one of the top horror films. I thought it was okay. Good creepy vibes throughout and lots of abiguity. I was surprised when the ending kicked in. I guess I was… Read more: Watched The Innocents (1961) - Watched The Wicker Man
Last night I finally got round to watching one of the classic horror films that has somehow been evading me for all this time — The Wicker Man (1973) Not the apparently-dreadful remake. Oh not the bees. I loved it. Despite knowing the ending already, probably through some kind of film osmosis over the years,… Read more: Watched The Wicker Man - Stop the racistsOn my way to get some chips from my local chippy last night, my faith in humanity was restored. As I sat there waiting for red to turn green, I noticed white spraypainted words written across a sky plus billboard advert. The first two words I read were “Stop the…” and my eyes immediately rolled… Read more: Stop the racists
- My website is now cut offI’ve decided to bring my website back to a traditional website without all of the “social gubbins”. I love the IndieWeb, but I just can’t be bothered to jump through the hoops of marking up the posts with the extra classes and fiddling with my theme to make sure other sites can parse it fully.… Read more: My website is now cut off
