Hobson & Choi #25 - "Head To Head"
Why is the 25th episode slightly extra sized? Because that's how they used to do it in comics, and I see no reason not to carry that torch. Enjoy, and thanks to everyone who's still with me on this, reading, voting, whatever. Means a lot, I'm enjoying working on it a great deal. We hit six months of continuous publication next week, and there will probably be more speechifying then.
For now, read, vote if you would be so kind, enjoy. And follow @HobsonAndChoi on Twitter if you want more regular serial-news updates. Cheers.
New TV blogging: Dexter!
New Dexter review on Digital Fix! It feels a lot like a halfway mark, even though that is next week.
And thanks to everyone who voted for Hobson & Choi in July! Best month of voting to date. As a way of saying thank you, the slightly-extra-sized 25th episode is up in a couple of hours. (Yes, okay, I was going to put it up anyway.)

New TV blogging: The Newsroom continues!
The Newsroom continues! Review on Digital Fix of this little down-time episode.
And elsewhere, we're approaching the end of July, so if you fancy voting for a few Hobson & Choi chapters, it would help my monthly top 30 efforts enormously. Danke.

Look! Book! Fook!
Picture the scene, if you will. I was at Latitude festival last weekend - evidence of attendance visible to your right - and arrived early for a talk in the literature tent. The previous speaker was still going. We had been sleeping in a tent and were quite tired (I pray thee cry us a river), so my girlfriend did the only sane thing under the circumstances and lay down on the floor, instantly falling asleep.
However I am a sleep-masochist, so stayed awake on the nice carpeted floor and listened to this man talk. And as I processed his words, something stirred within me. After some soul-searching introspection, I realised it wasn't exhaustion or my lunch, but an idea. Not just a small idea either, a large one that I could write a fair bit of stuff on. Hell, this might even be another novel idea.
I already have one book I'm writing, another I'm sending out to people, yet another I might write next, and of course my detective serial Hobson & Choi continuing on top of all of that. So, much as I enjoy a bit of inspiration, there comes a time when it all gets a bit much, and I think we're nearly there.

Hobson & Choi #24 - "The Quiet Ones"
Good chapter this week, exciting 25th effort next week featuring big twists. In the meantime, though, vote for us! All the July chapters up now, we need a boost for the monthly top 30. Make it happen.
Cheers guys. I don't want to cause undue excitement, but I'm aiming to do a real blog post on this site soon...

New TV blogging: Luther finale!
Last item in a busy day of TV blogging: Luther finale review on The Digital Fix!
That's all for now. Well, until the next Dexter review on Thursday, to be precise.
TV blogging! Dexter! Newsroom!
Hello! I am back from Latitude (it was great, thanks) and ready to deploy some blogging. First up, here's a review I didn't manage to blog last week:
Last week's new Dexter on The Digital Fix!
And now, some genuinely new material:

Hobson & Choi #23 - "Our Awesome Inquiries"
In other serial news, we were recapped on the EpiCast podcast yesterday, so check that out to both hear them discuss Hobson & Choi and discover some other fun serial fiction based tidbits.
And no, you haven't nodded off and missed a day. H&C normally goes up on Thursdays, but I'm off to Latitude tomorrow AM, so wanted to get it up in time. This is probably also a good time to mention: updates on this blog might be quite sparse until early next week. If you want to see how the festival is going, I am aiming to text a few updates to my Twitter account.
Hope the summer weather isn't killing you too hard, guys. Back soon.
Blogs: Luther on TV! Quantum & Woody in comics!
Two reviews in two different mediums today.
And meanwhile, in the weird world of comics...
The relaunch of superhero odd couple Quantum & Woody examined over on Many A True Nerd.
If Q&W ring a bell, I wrote this blog about the original series back here on the mothership last year. And speaking of odd couples, new Hobson & Choi going up a day early (i.e. later today) because I'm on holiday tomorrow. Exciting.
