[ Mood: Happy ] [ Currently: Watching Match of the Day ] Watched this good Spanish horror movie tonight. It’s a cross between Blair Witch first person camera work and 28 Days Later. The story concerns a reporter and a cameraman making a documentary about the night shift at a fire station…. Continue reading
[ Mood: Cool ] [ Currently: Listening to Model 500 ] Finished reading the latest Terry Pratchett novel this morning. It is his first non-Discworld novel in some time (I reckon his last was Johnny and the Dead in 1993). This one is another that is apparently for children but just reads… Continue reading

[ Mood: Amused ] [ Currently: Listening to Beautiful Future – Primal Scream ] Maybe not but I have just come back from watching Kung Fu Panda at the cinema. This is certainly a great, fun film and, for me, probably the best animated feature that Dreamworks have produced since Shrek. The… Continue reading
[ Mood: Happy ] Picked up a copy of Captain America: White #0 today. This is the next project by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale in their colours series for Marvel. I was pretty excited when I found out that they were working together again – I loved the stuff they… Continue reading
[ Mood: Angelic ] [ Currently: Eating my lunch ] I was in the middle of this when the After Harry: Big List was posted. The Bartimaeus trilogy, of which this is the first volume, was on the list. I won’t try to summarise it – Deanna has made a good job… Continue reading
