Day of the Dead

February 8th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life

I have been wearing the new specs around the house, trying to get used to them and get used to looking through the right bit of them for different distances.  It is a bit trial-and-error but when I get it right there is a great improvement.  This evening I watched a DVD and it was […]

This is the funniest thing I have seen all week…  thanks to the comedy genius who did and for Paulie and Damian, without whom I would not have been aware of it. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video I have now seen so many Downfall parodies I feel I […]

Nobody’s Diary

October 18th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Life

I do like a good zombie film, especially those made by George A Romero, so I was dead chuffed to see a DVD in the shops the other day of Diary Of The Dead.  After reading the back of the box I was in two minds about getting it, despite my great affection for the […]

Teenage Kicks

September 22nd, 2008 · 5 Comments · Life

Let’s Get Tattoos

August 30th, 2008 · Comments Off on Let’s Get Tattoos · Life

Last night Jayne and I watched a film called The Tattooist.  It was another freebie DVD from Amazon’s ‘Vine’ program, and a film I had not heard of before and knew nothing about, except that it was probably horror-related.  I don’t know why, but I sort of assumed it was one of those Far-East films, […]

August 25th, 2008 · Comments Off on Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin) · Life, Music

Watching all those old clips of Booker T and the MGs on YouTube gave me an itch to watch the Blues Brothers film to see Cropper and Dunn in action again.  This evening I sort of scratched that itch and watched Blues Brothers 2000 instead.
