Two years.

It's two years to the day since my mum passed away.  I've written about it here and here.

I don't think I have anymore to add on the subject, so today will be spent with quiet reflection, maybe a book or a movie.

Malcolm Tucker is my Spirit Animal. Video features swearing.




Just sayin'

“You’re about as funny as a blind toddler in a f***ing minefield.”

From the The Tao of Malcolm Tucker.

But, was rather nice, got to hang out with genuine, talented, decent human beings and I love my desk that has an amazing view of Brum.  #win

(Not So) Guilty Pleasures: The Verve.



Edited:  My blog stats and flickr hits are off the chain!  Hello to all the new readers and thanks for visiting :) 

And, every visit = ad revenue and lovely money!  :) 

Shine!



If I'd listened everything that they said to me, I wouldn't be here!
and if I took the time to bleed from all the tiny little arrows shot my way,
I wouldn't be here!
the ones who don't do anything are always the ones who try to put you down
and you could spend your entire life walking around
in the nowhere land of self doubt
'coz when you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive!
it's time, it's time to align your body with your mind, it's hero time
it's time, it's time to align your body with your mind, it's hero time
'coz when you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive!
and you know it's true!
I'm talking to you: hero time starts right now! Yeah, hero time, yeah,
time to shine, hey, hero time!

Rollins - Ghost Rider!


Henry Rollins is *never* a guilty pleasure.


(Not so) Guilty Pleasures - Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here.



Current mood.  Lifelong friends are missed - Pete C (if alive today - 45 years of friendship).  Dave H (if alive today - 30 years of friendship).  Life is a struggle - some of us make it, others don't.  I'm disappointed the good people don't seem to succeed or continue to breathe but that's it, the house always wins.

The Rise of Skywalker - New footage from D23.



The final 2 seconds of the footage - well.....some of us saw it coming and my jaw is still dropping!

Too hot to sleep....

It was way to hot overnight and have been awake for an hour or so which is *criminal* on a national holiday/bank holiday.

The sun is coming up and even the cats look like they're melting.

Roll on winter!

Foucault - Panopticism



Foucault's theories were the core centre of my dissertation (Fandom).  His background is just as interesting as his theoretical frameworks.
