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!

The weekend has been mental!

Whoa, the weekend has been totally nuts! I'm so glad that Sunday is classed as a day of rest!

The meal went well on Friday, again nerves were all over the place. We had a nice Italian meal, and it was good times, good conversation and good company...all good! Hopefully we will be meeting up again this week, maybe we will have a meal...but who knows?

I was supposed to watching Watchmen last night, but a few things got in the way, so I'm going later in the week.

Went to Andover shopping yesterday, got some good bits and bobs, and got 2 good DVDs for my collection (almost 3 but more on that later...) and they were as follows:
John Cena - My Life: Yup, yet another wrestling DVD set for the collection! 3DVDs about Cena, not bad either considering I got in in almost pristine condition from Andover CEX for a tenner!
The Simspons Season 6 In Homer Head Case - Yes!!!! At last! I have been after all the heads for a while, and again while in CEX Andover, I saw this and knew I had to get it, and at £16 for a brilliant condition set it's all good!

CEX did piss me off however, as I saw Season 7 of The Simpsons in the Marge Head case and I bought that at the same time, however for some reason I had a feeling I had to check the cases before I got on the bus home, and man it was a good job that I did as I found both cases were empty! So, I went to CEX and politely asked for the cases to have the discs in (as you do) and after all that they could not find the discs for Season 7 so they had to give me a refund...firstly why did they not check the case when they sold it to me (after all they checked the John Cena set), and secondly, how in the blue Hell did they lose the discs for the boxset? Looks like I'm the hunt for the other 4 Simpsons head sets.

Despite that though there was something that really brightened my day, it was truly the silver lining to the "cloud day".
I was sitting by the River Anton in andover, just basically chilling out and watching the birds on the water when a lady and her son (or I assume her son anyway, you just never know these days) went to one of the nearby benches. The lady handed her son a crust of bread to feed the ducks and geese there, and he lobbed it with all his might at this Canadian Goose, knocking the poor thing over! I'm so glad I didn't have a mouthful of anything, because it would have been all over anyone who passed by me! It was really funny and something I will not forget in a hurry.

Well, I guess I'll be hobbling off to do some bits and bobs...I'm hobbling as my knee has given out again (all good fun, the joys of some muppet trying to run me down several years ago when I was working security at the Vodafone HQ when it was being built..) which is great, as they say pain is a way of your body letting you know you are alive...guess pain is good then.

Well, 'til next time...
