You guys may have remembered I mentioned a webcomic on Zuda called Lily of the Valley...well it won the monthly competition and now has a contract with DC Comics! Congratualtions to creator Adam Atherton for making a seriously cool comic.
In case you are not aware of what this comic is, well you really need to have a look at this, you will be in for a treat! It's about a girl so has some mental issues, and she works through them (in her view making herself normal) by killing people. She picks people who will be a challenge, no easy pickings and she also feels she is doing them a service and feels they will be thankful. It's kinda creepy, and maybe a little disturbing in some ways, but it's bloody brilliant! If the comic carries on as well as the 8 pages that are currently on Zuda them we are all in for a treat.
If you want to see this fine comic then head on over to http://www.zudacomics.com/node/1237?page=1 and if you think it's cool then you can follow Adam's blog at http://lilyofthevalleycomic.blogspot.com/ and if you are a member of Facebook you can become part of "the herd" by joining the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=71143685849&ref=ts. You can also drop any comments for Adam on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/AdamAtherton.
So why are you still reading this? Go and have a look at the comic already!

Whoa another post so regular, what's wrong with me!
Three Faces of Foley arrived yesterday, and it's not too bad! It shows the interview as Mankind when he attacked Jim Ross which is slightly disturbing, why can't they do storylines like that any more? As far as I'm aware I have all the WWE/WWF Mick Foley DVDs in my collection, I'm now on the hunt for Undertaker ones.
Guitar Hero: Metallica is released today! I'll be picking up my copy before I meet Cuddle Bunny later, and I'll give my impressions of what I think it is like after a few plays.
Me and Cuddle Bunny are going to be seeing Angels & Demons this evening...I'm looking forward to the movie and it's even better I get to spend time with my Cuddle Bunny! I've been told that apparently it is difficult to compare this movie with The DaVinci Code as this one is a lot more action based. I'll give my thoughts later or tomorrow.
Kosh and Lisa are down for the weekend (Kosh is Haunted Rock Cake's son and Lisa is Kosh's wife) and they were kind enough to give me some more postcards for my collection. These ones promote the games Resistance: Retribution and WWE SmackDown Vs Raw 2008. Cheers Kosh!
Well, that's all for now folks...maybe some more later.

Yes it's another blog entry!
I'm rather narked at the moment, and I guess it's something quite petty, but it's quite annoying.
Our neighbour has decided that he is going to put all his garbage in my bin..not an issue if they had a full bin, after all neighbours are supposed to be a helpful community..but this guy has a perfectly good empty bin of his own. The reason for going to my bin? The only thing I can put it down to is that he cannot be bothered to go to his own bin, which is a little further away! Damn, what a lazy git! Dammit dude, stop filling up my bin!
I was sitting in the middle of Tadley waiting for GFP to come out of work yesterday and as I was watching the traffic, I have noticed that there seem to be more Minis on the road in the area I live than anything else! I really like the Mini, I think it is an awesome car (I may not be able to drive, and to be honest I seriously doubt I'll ever fit in one...but I love them anyways) but I never realised they were THAT popular!

I can't believe it's a new blog entry!
Yes, your eyes do not decieve you, The Fat Bloke has done another enrty and there is no gap of weeks betwwen the previous one! It's a lovely rainy day, so I thought I'd update the blog and say what has been going on...
The rain is lovely...I really like this weather as it is usually cooler (think of it this way...when you get cold you can add extra layers, when you are hot you cannot remove your skin!) and the bonus for me is that I don't have headaches during this weather for some odd reason. It's also going to do the garden so good too.
I have finally got Twitter to work on my mobile! Granted, I need to access mobile internet on my mobile (well, I could do it by text but it would cost me as it is classed as an overseas text!) but I have got it to work. Last time I tried this it was on my old phone (a Nokia N70 on O2) and the button to sign in never came up, so I could not log in! This was rather frustrating, but since I got an LG KS360GO (aka Etna) I thought I'd try again and it works great! Add to that the O2 Web Bolt On and it's all good, I can tweet from almost anywhere I can use my phone! If you want to have a look at my Twitterings, then head on over to http://www.twitter.com/yamerias
It's great to be able to use both Twitter and Facebook on the go!
I was supposed to be going to the cinema yesterday to see Angels & Demons, but Cuddle Bunny was knackered (she's just started a new shift pattern which means she gets up earlier bless her!), so that was a no go. Hopefully we shall be going on Friday after she finishes work, more on that as it happens. I did meet up with Cuddle Bunny yesterday though...and we shopped for socks...how exciting is that?
Cuddle Bunny was supposed to be only working for 4 hours today, but somehow she got drafted to help with a stocktake at another store today, which means now I'm not going to see her until Friday as I have to do a load of shopping tomorrow because Sandra's son and wife are down for the weekend (and turn up tomorrow evening). I'm kinda worried though, as one of her ex's works there as manager and they didn't finish on good terms...mind you not heard anything so far, so perhaps the guy has finally grown up, but time will tell.
I am awaiting a few DVDs for my humble DVD collection, and I have to thank the good people at CeX for making my day! I was looking at DVDs on thier site and thought I would have a look through thier wrestling DVDs and I found "The Three Faces of Foley" for a mere £4 on DVD! Obviously I had to get myself a copy, so I'm just waiting for it to arrive which will be with any luck in the next few days! they have quite a few wrestling DVDs (WWE/WWF, ECW and TNA) at really good prices because they are second hand and they will beat getting them from eBay too.
Well, that's all for now...maybe there will be an update later if any DVDs arrive.

This and that...
Ah yes...it's time for another updaye by The Fat Bloke!
Things are kinda ok, I have just recently got over some cold/lurgy that made me feel absolutely awful. I'm ok now (I think) with just the odd sniffle, although GFP seems to have caught it from me which is not good for her as she is on a course for work!
I went and saw my "adoptive daughter" Ro last week (she kinda adopted me as a father figure many moons ago) and I saw her son Zack for the first time...he's adorable! I held him in my arms and I was instantly smitten. I hate to say it but I really want to have a kid now, and that is something I never ever thought I'd ever say. Ro and her husband Pete are well, although just getting over the passing of Pete's grandfather.
Cuddle Bunny was away on holiday last week...I had to handle 9 days away! I'm hoping I wasn't too bad toward people (everyone has said I'm fine, but I worry they are just being nice). I felt like Hell, each second felt like a minute, each minute an hour, each hour a day and ever day dragged like it was a week! It's great to have she's back though!
I have preordered Guitar Hero: Metallica and it's out next week! I preordered from my local HMV and the incentives to preordered are as follows:

- Postcards (yay, more postcards for my collection!)
- Zombie skins for the characters in the game
- Guitar Hero: Metallica T-shirt
The t-shirt would be cool, but I can almost guarantee that it will not be in my size!
I have seen an awesome comic called Lilly of the Valley...A love story for the over and under medicated, the disenchanted, the excessively violent and the soft-spoken. Welcome to a valley of emotional turbulence. if you want to have a look at this then head on over to www.zudacomics.com/node/1237 and join Zuda and vote for this, with enough votes it could be picked up by DC comics!
Well, that's all for now....hopefully the next update will be a little sooner!
