Obscure to some

Some may not get this picture, as it is comic book related, but it popped into my head this morning!

I would sleep (if the dog would stop smelling!*)

What a crazy weekend. We have finally moved out of our house, so I will be without an internet connection at home for a while - but since all that means is I won’t be able to go on facebook, i’m not too fussed!

Forget everything I ever said about my brother - he managed to get me the special edition of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - The Black Dossier!. I have had a brief flick through it and realsise that its going to take a while to properly read!

Although I got in this morning and my Google reader showed 300+ articles to read, there wasn’t any that were any good, so no links today!

I’m missing out on Airsoft next week as me and my darling wife are going to see Lee Evens in Brighton ;-)

Fifa ‘09 is out on Friday so I will probably have some comments on that too!

*Yes, you heard - my dog is no longer allowed to eat lamb - there were evil smells coming out of its butt all last night!

No more dull homewerk

School scraps ‘dull’ homework

School girl exam

Homework not cool for school

What’s homework to a schoolchild but work, work, work?

According to Tiffin boys’ school in Kingston-upon-Thames, south-west London, homework should be scrapped so their young strapping lads can do other things with their time.

So the school have cut the amount of homework the pupils are given to just minutes per night.

  • Is it me, or is this madness?! - I always had homework down as 50% preperation for what you are going to do and 50% revision for what you have done! - This is just daft it teaches kids how to manage their time and see if they can do any of the work themselves! - Another example of schools ‘dumbing down’!

Well Monday had its regular showing of ‘Dusk til Dawn’ on C4 and as per tradition I made time to watch it! I love that movie (Although I pretend its a one-off rather than a trilogy!)

I’m trying a new format with my posts now - instead of lots of short posts I am trying to make my posts have more of a dairy feel to them - although I don’t know how well these will work! Maybe they will be more meaningful!

So many pretty things!

Wow After a loooong weekend I not doing much online I find all these things!

A Long Weekend of madness!

I had Thursday & Friday off last week as we are currently moving out of our house for some work to do. I had to pack away the computer, so that has ramifications!
I won’t be doing any comics as my software is on my main pc, but I will still be drawing and scanning images! As I have my laptop and my printer/scanner!

My countdown continues for my next AirSoft game (about 3 weeks) I’m going to try and get my brother & brother-in-laws to play!

I’ve updated the WRESTLING page to include the results of TNA No Surrender - I could have done them last week - but I wanted to watch it in case I felt the need to comment!…..not really!

I also got Star Wars: Force Unleashed the other day and I managed to get a couple of hours in playing that. I enjoyed it, but I can see how it wouldn’t be to everyones taste. I think it plays slightly like Marvels Ultimate Alliance, but I like the way the force and lightsaber moves work! Two player duels are ok, but seem like a bolt on!
I am waiting for Fifa 09 to come out on the Wii though! 

This week continues my madness in getting everything packed away so the builders can come in and do the work. I have to get the council round so I can get a tax discount, suspend my TV/Internet?Phone account with Virgin and cancel the milk.

I am exahasted!

Last night I spent 3 1/2 hours running around a dark, dank underground bunker! 

  • Getting shot at.
  • Grenades thrown at
  • Pinged with BB pellets

Yeah - It was great and I will be going again! - The Camera didn’t get too much out of it - but I will try to put something together before my main PC gets packed away - I don’t think i’ll be able to though :-(

Would Everyone Stop Getting Shot*

  • Tonight I’ve got an interesting one - I’m playing AirSoft, which is like paintballing, but with BB guns! This is going to be so ‘frickin awesome!!!! I’m going to be wearing a camera, so keep and eye out for that!
  • Things are going a bit chaotic for a while for me, so I can only relax at work** We are in the process of moving everything out of our house so we can have the work done!
  • I’ll have the update for the TNA: No Surrender PPV up tomorrow!

* Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
** I’m going for a nap
