Here’s another picture which has adorned my desktop for a long time & for a fairly obvious reason; when you’re at work & you hit the 3pm wall, it helps to be able to at least pretend you’re able to work properly by continuing to stare at your computer screen, then its simply a matter of waggling the mouse a bit & bashing the odd key. In the very least the look of interest you present won’t be fake, even if it is mistaken for an interest in work content! It’s for the aforementioned reasons that I love these cast of character backgrounds, they’re almost endless fun!

So enjoy this weeks background & think of me at 3pm as you reacquaint yourself with the cast of Futurama! …read more

I hate cats - plain & simple, I just don’t like them.

They sleep, they eat & they shit - they’re me with slightly more fur & I think that this world ain’t big enough for the two billion odd of us.

Having said that, I need keyboard cat in my life - nay, I can’t live without the little fella. Put it down to ranga solidarity, whatever, if he can provide me with comedic moments like this, then I’m down.

And hey, he even comes with a t-shirt.

Now, onto the clip, I know its childish, but my girl & I bought a puppy for XMAS & what you’re about to say is just another day in the life right now…well, not this extreme, but let’s just say that if his toy zebra was real, then we’d have some pretty interesting looking zeb-dogs running around these days. …read more

Yesterday saw the iconic Collingwood hotel The Tote close its doors for the last time - or does hope still exist?

The Tote is/was a venue which has nurtured up & coming bands whilst headlining some of rocks big names for over 30 years. However, last Thursday (14/01/10) proprietor Bruce Milne released this statement announcing the Tote’s sudden closure:

It’s last drinks at the Tote.  This weekend…..

I know it’s sudden.  I didn’t plan it to be like that.

I can’t afford to keep fighting Liquor Licensing.  The “high risk” conditions …read more

The Marvel zombie horde is almost upon us once more…and I for one cannot wait!

My friends and family all laugh at my zombie obsession, but when the zombie apocalypse transpires, my well stocked shed full of sharp & pointy things & home brew will see them laughing on the other side of their faces…as they try to bite my own off!

Here’s the latest direct from Marvel.com

The best zombies always come back for more, which is why the Marvel Zombies rise again this April in MARVEL ZOMBIES 5, a five-issue limited series courtesy of writer Fred Van Lente and artist Kano.

It’s Friday, it’s the end of the week, it’s time to blow off some steam and so for pure shits and giggles value, today’s FFC is another stumble-find c/o the good people at YouTube.

So may I present to you a little clip called, Bad Ass Breakdancing with Just Fingers - Fingers Breakdancing which features the talents of a ridiculously dextrous young man who likes black turtle neck jumpers & miniature Adidas kicks and whom can do some pretty impressive things with his fingers.

…I tried pretty hard to not make that sound dirty & am fully aware that I didn’t quite achieve it - sorry, but hey, the gutter maybe a dirty place to live, but its never without a view laughs! …read more

Sorry, I went a little Mortal Kombat there it seems - I’m just a little excited.

Now we’re back on track, here’s the latest from Marvel as they announce the commencement of principal photography on Thor.

For myself, I’m really excited to see what comes of this film. I’ve been a long term fan of Kenneth Branagh (director of Thor), for no particular reason & will be really interested to see what he makes of a character who has always appealed to the fantasy geek in me. But here is my most sincere warning Kenneth - do NOT follow the path of remaking Asgard in Oklahoma or else you’ll be dealing with these flying fists of rage as I come at you like a spider monkey! …read more

The January 28th release date for Skins season 4 is fast approaching so to celebrate this weeks WWW features the cast of the sometimes funny, sometimes criminal & almost always partying college brats that we know & love.

The Spider-Man films are a contentious issue (most especially SM3 - sorry Raimi, not even Evil Dead can make up for that one) but regardless they press on because hey, who doesn’t need another few hundred million dollars?

So looking forward to Spidey 4, it has now been loosely confirmed through an unsure translation of Italian website Badtaste.it that John Malkovich has announced that he is eager to get his hands on a final script for the film & take up the role of the Vulture in the next SM release. …read more
