Gulliver's Travels - Meh
Today’s Cinema Monday film was Gulliver’s Travels. In summary, a disappointment. Especially since, as it’s a bank holiday apparently, it wasn’t cheap night, so full price had to be paid (and it was 3D, so it cost an arm, a leg, a spleen and several metres of intestine), but I used my noggin and invited my sister along so that my mum would deem me an awesome brother and...
My Christmas Covered In Three Words
Which absolute banker has stopped following me on tumblr? I swear I’ll find out, hunt you down, and ask you nicely to follow me again.
I can see why my posts might spur one into unfollowing. I mean, it could possibly be the only writing on the entire website. Even the creative writing category on the directory is mainly made up of photos. I don’t know any other blog websites though,...
Christmas Poem Part 2
It was quite late by now, my eyes were quite droopy Nevertheless I flew on, to prove I wasn’t loopy
As far as I knew, the red man lay north So I stepped on the gas and ventured forth
Far below, Christmas lights shone bright The night’s last few stragglers couldn’t see me at my height
Which was quite lucky, if truth be told A flying Peugeot is a sight to behold

I Feel Like Writing A Christmas Poem
It was Christmas eve, and silence rang throughout the house Not a creature did stir, not man, mouse or lowly woodlouse
Atop the tree, a star gleamed in the festive moonlight And in my room, sleep was putting up a fight
The excitement of presents, the very thought of pudding I tried to nod off but I knew that I couldn’t
I longed for the jingling, the sound of the hooves The sight of the...
Flying High In My Superman Socks
Really in a happy mood right now. If any of you haven’t heard the song Superman Socks by nicepeter off of YouTube, and I’m guessing nobody has apart from me and Ryan, you should get on it.

And then watch the original video for Street Music, which is also most amusing.
It has made my day. I’ve been singing it from about six...

Tron: Legacy.
Wow.
I said I’d do a Cinema Monday review type thingy, and here it is.
It was awesome.
There’s not much more to say about it.
We watched the original Tron before heading off to the cinema, along with a nice KFC batch of chicken, and even that was quite good, despite the classic 80’s special effects that nowadays seem pretty outdated.
Then the revival of the...
Mario Sick & Ich Liebe Dich
It has been a truly legendary past couple of days.
Maya’s party was the best party ever, best best party ever. Ten points to Gryffindor if you understood that The Station reference. Minus ten points if you point out if I spelt Gryffindor wrong. I thought my costume was good, but I was outshined by the teenage mutant ninja bin-lid turtles, Mario & Luigi and a well-crafted Thomas the...
NNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnn
My addiction with superheroes is really strange. I’ve never really read any of the comics. I’ve watched all the films, but that’s not quite the same. I seem to find myself spending enormous amounts of time reading the relative wikipedia articles. Just now, for example, I have spent half an hour reading up on the avengers, which, by the way, I am really looking forward to.
I...
I wrote a massive blog about my life presently.

How Nintendo Could Save Me From Premature Death
Way to set a morbid tone there, Ben. Crack on.
Throughout primary school, I was primarily a chubby kid. Not exactly fat, but definitely not akin to a rake. Complete lack of sport and ignorance to healthy foods didn’t seem to treat me too badly.
Then secondary school hit. Unlike Robert Bakewell, Limehurst was across the other side of town, so over the three years I definitely toned up into...
ZOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooommmmmmmm
I was halfway through cleaning my room, spotted the little tumblr sign on my favourites toolbar, and thought, fuck it, my clothes look content where they are for now. Didn’t really think it through, of course - I’ve no idea on the topic of which I shall write today. This is one of the earliest blogs I’ve written so far; it’s not even midnight!
My Flash costume arrived...
Why I Avoid Plays, Musicals And Dramatic...
Achievement of the day would almost certainly be pissing off our headteacher during the school musical to the point that he moved during the intermission. Perhaps, in hindsight, bringing two large bags of crisps and a packet of biscuits to a performance was not a great idea. I, at least, was as nonchalant as possible, whereas my counterpart CJ waited until the quietest sections to ram his hand...
YouNoob
Every time we go round Ryan’s house, we end up watching one of the videos from one of the many subscriptions he has, and it seems this has slowly worn off on me, and I myself am now a Youtube junkie. Most days now, alongside my ritualistic checking of Facebook and now even Tumblr, I pop onto Youtube to see if anyone interesting has made anything interesting. Most days, this is the case. And...

Snow, Hitler and my Computer Game Hibernation
I want to get back into the habit of posting regularly. Most likely for no-one’s amusement but my own. As before, this will probably be in the middle of the night so then my post is lost in the drivel of the next day on most people’s feeds, but normally I wrote so much people must get bored and give up anyway. I just can’t win.
I think this is the most snow we’ve had in a...

Confused Face
Everyone on tumblr that posts a thousand reblogged photos a day with their own little witty comment and then every now and then fills in a little “day 3028” blog seems to be obtaining followers at an alarming rate. And they all seem to be from Uzbekistan or America or Canadia or the middle of god damn nowhere. What am I doing wrong?
My original impression of this site was that one was...
