9 months!
Okay in the time since I last posted on this blog I have:
Completed al my sections of the collaborative novel I am working on with my writing buddies, done some pictures and posted them over at DeviantArt.com
http://moonlight-masquerade.deviantart.com/
Watched a lot of Scrubs, I am currently halfway through season 5 and loving it, though my online sources have disappeared. I have also watched all of Dexter seaon 3. I am still woefully behind with LOST and Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica. I'll catch up eventually.
Most of the reasons for not being so good is to do with how busy life is. Kids, wife, work, hobbies., all get in the way, but I think I need the time to reflect and review every now and again. We'llsee how things go.

Hoooo yes!!!

Hoooo yes!!!
Half term, Anniversaries, Bullwhps and all that jazz.
Hello!
It's been a few days since I last wrote. I have been off work for a few days enjoying the sunshine and generally spending time with the family. Twas my wedding anniversary on Tuesday. It's very hard to believe it's been nineteen years. Amazing! I could never had dreamed way back when that I would meet someone so wonderful that I would want to be with them forever. But I do. Here's to the next nineteen.
So...
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
SPOILER WARNING - Do not read below if you ain't seen it yet.
Went to see this with my good Lady last night. I was quite jazzed up about it as I am a big fan of the Indy films. But I was aware there had been some bad press as well as rave reviews so I tried to be open minded and just see what happened.
I liked it.
I liked it quite a bit actually.
The good points.
Some really good humour. Some really good laugh out loud moments. I spent at least half the film smiling, no bad thing. I thought Harrison looked old. It's really showing now, but they made fun out of his age and in the end I don;t think he handled himself too badly. He was definitely channelling Indy. I think the folks who say he as not being Indy have to remember this is an Indy 20 years older. He has reconciled with his Father and doesn't mind being called Henry. I thought this was cool, Character growth and development people!!
It was nice seeing Marion again, and she got some brilliant moments and was in no way a screaming girl! She gets to do some fun stuff and kicks ass.
Mutt, aka Shia LeBoef (Sp?) was okay and resembled Young Indy enough to make the familial resemblance good. Liked the last scene with the hat... almost passing on to the next generation.. but not quite yet.
The ants.
Very cool
The fridge... liked it.
The not so good
Hmmm, the plot had some pretty major problems. I got confused over the skull in the tomb where Ok was supposed to have left it, and the skull stolen in the start of the movie. The same skull? then what was Ok doing with it.. confused much! How much time was supposed to pass between the intro and the main story? feels like it needs to be months for it to make sense.
Was a little unsure about the aliens. Aren't they dead? so what was with the last quarter? Didn't really get this.
Generally
Is it a worthy addition to the Indy saga... probably. Is it the best Indy? Probably not. In fact I'd say it ranks maybe lowest... Hmm probably. But it was fun, enjoyed the ride. Loved all the nods to the other movies and even the odd Star Wars reference.
Yeah, I'll watch it again on DVD, sure I will enjoy it.

Week two and still writing.
Well, this is the best I have ever done at blogging. I have actually managed to update on a regular basis for over a week.
The weekend was pretty good. Sunny, reasonably warm. I mainly chilled, trying to relax after some troublesome weeks. My colleague had a bad time facing the firing squad at work, but is back in today. I do feel there is an element of living on borrowed time though. I suspect my colleague will be looking for new jobs. They have been treated pretty badly in my view.
I managed to get some work done on my next short story, and have written half of a scene from the novel I am working on. I am aiming for a moment of wry humour, emulating something of the style of David Tennant as the Doctor. Perhaps not quite so overboard.
Spent time with the kids, and quality time with my lady. Had some nice food. Watched 'I'd Do Anything' (I know!!!!) and was a bit upset when Niamh was voted out. I thought she was beautiful, even if not suitable for the part of Nancy.
I also managed to help out a bit more around the house. Trying to support Mrs Scribbler a bit more as she is studying in the evenings. I vacuumed the entire house. Cleaned the bathroom, dusted downstairs and helped in the garden. I need to keep this sort of thing going. It makes all the difference for her.
Tonight is an oddity. Son #1 has 'swam up' from beavers to cubs, so no more Mondays sat in the church foyer working. I get a nice evening at home. Of course I now have Thursday nights sat in the foyer at church instead!
I want to get as far as the start of act III of my short story tonight. target 500 words minimum.

I've got a bad feeling about this...
Well, something wicked this way comes.
I havea work colleague off sick at the moment. This colleague has had a run of bad luck. illness, bereavement, broken bones, you name it. End result, management not happy. They are having a 'meeting' with tis person tomorrow. Does not sound like good news.
I really hope they do nto get rid of this person. They are hard working, committed, devoted and exemplary in so many ways. they have just had some rotten luck.
Fingers crossed.
