Hi everyone, I got some time to work on the book this morning. Over the past few months, I’ve gone through the entire manuscript and taken out lots of things that the editor had a problem with. It’s been quite a depressing procedure, snipping away things that I was perfectly happy with a while ago. I […]
Read more "Ardenna Crossing update – May 2019"Episode 5 – Foo Fighters After all the excitement of the previous episode, things slow down quite considerably for most of this instalment. Fuller turns up briefly and shouts out some numbers that call to mind Lost and they are tracked to a radio signal being broadcast by a group of former veterans, most of […]
Read more "Project Blue Book – Season 1: Episode 5 Review"This is the second time I’ve devoted a post to a podcast from Sam Harris. I got back on my bike to work last week and that gave me a chance to dig through the backlog of things recorded on my phone. One thing I heard has stuck with me for quite some time and I […]
Read more "The Vulnerable World – Raindrops in a Cloud"Warning! this post contains lots of spoilers for both Avengers: Endgame and Season 8 of Game of Thrones so, if you’re not all caught up, please read no further. . . . . Spoilers ahead!!!! . . . . . . . . last chance – spoilers ahead! . . . . I didn’t […]
Read more "The Long Night – Ups and Downs of Fan Service"Episode 4 – Operation Paperclip This is by far the strongest episode so far. I’ll start with a negative, though. This has happened a few times now in the series and it can be quite disconcerting. We open episode 4 on an airliner being plagued by a UFO. Hynek is on board and watching the […]
Read more "Project Blue Book – Season 1: Episode 4 Review"So, I thought long and hard about whether to go to the midnight screening at my local Cineworld last night. In the end, the child in me won out and I duly crept off in the middle of the night to see the conclusion to over 10 years of world-building in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. […]
Read more "Tonight’s Viewing – Avengers: Endgame (spoiler free)"Episode 3 – The Lubbock Lights There is something of a jump in quality in bits of this episode. The lead characters have found their feet and are building good chemistry with each other which was lacking in the first two episodes. Quinn and Hynek make a decent pairing in an understated kind of way. […]
Read more "Project Blue Book – Season 1: Episode 3 Review"Episode 2 – The Flatwoods Monster Episode 2 of History Channel’s Project Blue Book dramatization is about another one of the most famous UFO cases: The Flatwoods Monster of West Virginia. This is the case of a group of children who saw a mysterious light crossing the sky, crashing in some woods. When they went […]
Read more "Project Blue Book – Season 1: Episode 2 Review"Episode 1 – The Fuller Dogfight Project Blue Book, the new series based on the United States Air Force’s investigations into UFOs, has been saved on my Sky Box for a few weeks now and I thought I would take the plunge last night. Renewed interest in the subject matter seems to coincide with the […]
Read more "Project Blue Book – Season 1: Episode 1 Review"Hey everyone, As you may or may not know, back in January I completed my ‘What the Haiku’ challenge of doing a Twin Peaks related haiku every day for a year and putting them on YouTube. Well, I’ve brought them out of the notes section of my phone (in case I sit in a paddling pool with […]
Read more "What the Haiku! – The Complete Collection"Books, games, music, and life — filtered through the mind of a writer, drummer, and philosopher who thinks too deeply about all of it. If it moves something in your chest, I'm interested.
