The Plan: April 12

Last Month I had a reasonably productive month finally. It's felt a little like wading through mud this year so far but things are improving and the sun came out, which always helps. Here's the bullet list: hand wrote just over 6k for Sherdan's prophecy hand wrote approx 11k for For such a time as [...]

Puzzle Pirates: A Distraction

As most readers are probably aware now I have a love for MMO's. Puzzle Pirates was my first and is one that keeps pulling me back into it. This time the draw back has been the merge of several of the oceans. The two subscription oceans (of which I played on one) have been merged [...]

Never Let Me Go: A Review

I was lent this film by my fellow blogger Chrysalis who also reviewed the film. I read his review before reading and it intrigued me enough to try watching the film as well. It's a very sad film and one I wouldn't normally consider watching for that reason. I think life is sad enough without [...]

I've been watching a lot of Sharpe films lately and I've been very struck with the structure of the army and all the rules they have. I found myself realising that the way the British army works is actually pretty similar to the way God's army works or God's church if you want it in [...]

The Phantom Of The Opera – The Book: A Review

I recently read the phantom of the opera in it's original book format. It wasn't what I expected. From the people I'd spoken to who also read it they said the phantom was painted in a much less favourable light than the opera piece but I actually disagree. I came from the book feeling just [...]
