Quit Your Day Job

I’m not really sure what drew me to the character of Hellboy, probably the brilliant artwork by Mike Mignola, actually I’m sure it is.  What I expect kept me coming back was the surprisingly droll humour, the real world mythology mixing within the rich tapestry of the BPRD world and of course I still can’t [...]

One of the aspects of the Iron Man character that I quite like is the evolution of the armour.  To be completely honest I probably prefer what is known in some circles as the ‘classic armour’ that appeared throughout the 80s, even over the movie version (although I don’t think that classic armour would’ve worked [...]

When we lived in Canberra we got a chance [...]

I’m not buying a Playstation 3.  I can’t afford one right now, I don’t really have the need for one and honestly it would be wasted on my current television.  That does not however mean that game developers should be punishing me.

For my birthday Tracey got me a whole bunch of things that she had given deep thought about (she really puts a lot of thought into her gifts and she amazes me everytime).  Anyone one of these items was a really big pencil, and I mean a pretty BIG pencil.  It works really nicely and [...]

I really can’t believe that in just over twelve hours I’ll be settling into my seat about to watch one of my favourite comic book characters of all time being brought to live on the big screen by pretty much the perfect cast and from all reports, director also.
Tracey and I had this conversation the [...]
