I had to google Beecake. I once stalked Billy Boyd around a supermarket I used to work in, using the fact that I worked there as cover I also managed to stalk Robert Carlyle and Jason Donovan around there too.Scotland is a very beautiful place, it's just a shame about the weather and the people some times.
Cold, wet, grey, and that's just in the summer.Nah I love Glasgow. I used to live on the east coast of Scotland and it would take a hell of a lot to make me move back there, the west is just so much better. Glasgow has lots of restaurants, bars, clubs, geeky little comic books shops (ok it only has three or four of the last one but one of those is perfect). Also a few nice museums and parks.
If you're going to visit Glasgow there are a few bits of advice I'd give you though; do it when you're old enough to drink (only 18 here), don't do it alone (dangerous city, lots of stabbings and sexual assaults) and try to avoid talking to the most inbred of the locals, you can spot them a mile off, they walk kind of hunched to one side and they look like their diet is solely made up of lager, smack and haggis suppers. There are lots of nice people in Glasgow but those ones are just plain scary.
Reading that back I realise why my mum always whines at me to move home.
The city itself or the con?
I just woke my girlfriend up (it's 4am here) to tell her I'd just found out there is a Glasgow comic con and begged her to take me. I think she said yes just to shut me up. Winning!
Just the previous read of the month shelf that has been done as a whole group read.
Laurel wrote: "For a graphic novel how about American Vampire, Vol. 1
It's by Scott Snyder with an awesome back-up story by Stephen King."Pretty sure this is a previous read of the month.
I vote for Strangers in Paradise, been meaning to read it and romance month seems perfect.
Michelle - I know what you mean, I get angry at shows or films I'm watching if journalists start acting illegally and pretending like that's what happens all the time I get annoyed at it for being factually inaccurate.Lela - I can practically see Rhianna's head get bigger when I tell her your comments. Hopefully she will blog regularly for her constant fix of ego boosting though ;)
Thanks.
Thank you. I'll force Rhianna to blog more. On that note, she does owe me a book review already...
Amazingly said Natalie!
Lashya - please tell me you're joking about the whole blue/pink thing? Bronies - from the basic (and I mean very basic) amount of research I just done on them, they are older fans, mostly male with the occasional sister Bronie, of My Little Pony, mainly the tv show released in 2010, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.
The way I see it, it is exactly the same as any of us watching cartoons that are aimed at a younger audience. They just happen to be watching a cartoon aimed a girls which is why they come under fire. Isn't that just the same as older girls watching any superhero cartoon because they have been aimed at a young male audience for years.
I've never seen this MLP cartoon myself so I'm not a Bronie but I am a lover of anything that screws with gender binaries and anyone's perception of how gender should be so I am kind of in love with the idea that older men like things aimed at younger girls.
From what I've seen of the fandom, most of them seem to be kind, gentle and funny and in an age where an increasing amount of young men are turning out to be sexist, rapist pigs (sorry, increasing amount of rape in the city where I live and it is turning me into an angry and scared ranter) surely we should be glad that some men are watching a show about friendship and love? I'm all for this redefinition of masculinity and see so many similarities in them and female comic book geeks, we are both fandoms that are mocked and hated for being true to ourselves.
I will definitely check out Robopocalyose, thanks for the heads up?
I went to see two films today and I'm not afraid to lose all my cool and I admit I cried at both... I saw Safety Not Guaranteed and Skyfall.

Oh Teeth... This film almost convinced me I needed to be institutionalised!I was watching tv late one night in the common room (Hogwarts) by myself when the advert for this came on. When I was in my best friend's bedroom the next day telling her all about it, including describing how the title had been designed, her and my other friends were convinced that no film company would be insane enough to make a film like that and as I had been known to fall asleep watching tv in the common room they had me completely convinced I dreamed the whole thing. I had never worried for my sanity more than at that moment.
