I thought an update for what has been going on this week would be in order!!!

I have been having a bit of a nose around to see if Adam Atherton had done any more comics on Zuma barring Lilly of the Valley and I have found that he did another called Bleed, which looked quite interesting. If you fancy a look then head on over to http://www.zudacomics.com/node/945

I saw 3 movies last week...The Hangover (I got preview tickets for free, which was nice), Drag Me To Hell and Terminator Salvation.
Drag Me To Hell wasn't too bad, it was about a woman who is cursed to be dragged to Hell by a demon and her race against time to break the curse. I'm not going to spoil anything, but I did like the way that a small item near the beginning of the movie changed everything right at the end of the movie. This one is certainly one that I will be adding to my DVD when it is released!
Terminator Salvation....oh what a can of worms this movie has opened! A lot of people have "boycotted" this movie as there is none of the original cast in it, but to be honest I think that was a good thing. I enjoyed the movie (Cuddle Bunny went with me, and she liked it but thought that the previous 3 movies were better) and I liked the way that it seemed to ignore the third movie. In a lot of ways this felt more like a franchise "reboot" than a prequel/sequel (not sure what catergory it would be in because of the "time travel" element of this franchise). I liked Christian Bale as John Connor, and look forward to getting this on DVD as well. For people who enjoyed this movie, IMDB have it listed that "Termiator 5" is to be released in 2011 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1340138/).

My birthday went kinda well, which was nice too..me and cuddle Bunny went to Southsea and walked from South Parade Pier to Clarence Pier. We went into every arcade between the two points and played all the 2p machines! I won quite a few keyrings and stuff which I gave to Cuddle Bunny, although I Kept 2 that I had won (Clumsy Bean and Nurse Bean from Bean World, have a look at them on http://www.bean-world.net/) and kept one for me and gave the other to my flatmate. We also had fish&chips by the sea, which I was really looking forward to but they were horrible...the fish was swimming in grease!
We also went to Victoria Park which was nice, although it has changed a lot since I had been there!
It was just great to have a day with Cuddle Bunny, I loved every minute!

My DVD collection has broken through the 1,000 barrier! That is a LOT of DVDs! sure I know there are people with loads more than me, but I have only the DVDs I want, and most of them as collector's editions which is nice. Here's to breaking the 2,000 barrier!

Well, that's all for now, but I'm sure I'll be back soon!

Well, it's been a couple of weeks roughly since I uploaded the blog of The Fat Bloke, so I guess I should say what is going on in this crazy place...

Amy, my sister, is pregnant! She sent me a text this morning (Saying HELLO UNCLE SAIRE....I bloody hate being called uncle!) and then called me up and it would appear that she is 5 weeks gone. She is off to the doctors today and I should have some more details later. Jamie (Amy's fiancee) was so shocked he almost walked in front of a bus!

Things are going well between me and Cuddle Bunny...I really love her a lot, and I'm happy to say it looks like the feelings are mutual! Hopefully we are going out for the day tomorrow but Cuddle Bunny has been feeling a little poorly so it may not happen as yet.

Apparently, I apologise too much. To be honest I had never really realised this (there again I guess you would not unless someone pointed it out to you. Cuddle Bunny has currently taken it upon herself to slap me (and not exactly gently either...she gonna hurt herself if she not careful!) if I even begin to apologise! I guess it is down to the fact I'm always scared that I am screwing things up, I have had to say sorry for so many wrongs in my past I guess it has almost become second nature that everything I do IS wrong so I have to apologise.

I'm annoyed with Twitter...I am unable to send messages via SMS or via mobile internet on my phone! I have a Nokia N70 (yeah, an oldish phone I guess) and it is on the O2 network...has anyone else got issues with Twitter and the O2 network?
Oh well, at least I can do status updates to Facebook...

I have some more DVDs to add to my humble collection, and all of them were quite well priced too....

• The Golden Compass 2DVD - I was curious about this movie when it hit the cinema, but wasn't sure if I wanted to go and see it. I was able to grab this for £7, which seemed quite reasonable and it's not too bad a movie! I look forward to seeing the other books made into movies in the future.
• Al Murray's Happy Hour Season 1 - I am a huge fan of Al Murray (better known as The Pub Landlord) and have been lucky enough to have 2DVDs signed by him. I was looking in HMV and saw this for £3! This is great as I'm sure it is supposed to be about £20! Great bargain and some great laughs.
• The Eye (Lenticular Sleeve) - Ah yes, nothing like a bit of horror...I think this is yet another based on Japanese horror, but don't quote me on that! It was nice to be able to get hold of the lenticular sleeved edition too, where a hand "crawls" out of the eye! This cost me £5.
• WWE Judgment Day 2008 - Again in HMV they were selling this for £4, not bad when the average price is usually £15 for wrestling PPV DVDs (barring WrestleMania which is just a hige boxset each time!)

I was also kinda gutted too, I was able to get hold of The Rock: The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment 3DVD set a while back for £8 (which I thought was an excellent bargain) and I saw this in HMV...reduced from £30 to £3!!! I am going to have to keep an eye on the wrestling DVDs there because they seem to be dropping to silly prices now and then.

It's Cuddle Bunny's birthday on 9th May, and sadly she will be in Wales then (on her way to Ireland for a week with her folks) and she said I had to get her present early (charming!) and when I asked her what she wanted she said "surprise me"...aw man, does she realise what she has let herself in for?

A really REALLY cool game has been launched for the PS3 and PS2...SingStar Queen! anyone who knows me well know that I think that Queen (before Freddie tragically passed away) are the best thing before during and since sliced bread, I have been a fan as far back as I can remember (mind you that does not say a lot when I have problems with my memory) and when Sony announced this I thought it was amazing! The game was released 20th March (along with the eagarly awaited wireless microphones) and I hope to grab myself a copy next week...I hope the neighbours windows are insured and/or reinforced!
