Hi everyone, This is just a quick post because it’s N7 Day, when we celebrate all things Mass Effect. It goes without saying that Mass Effect is not just one of my favourite game franchises, but probably one of my favourite Science Fiction franchises of all time. The attention to detail and the depth of […]
Read more "Happy N7 Day – Keelah se’lai"It has been a long time since I gave you an update on my progress through the Heleus Cluster. Truth be told, I went through quite a long period of not playing Andromeda because there was so much else going on. I put some time in a while ago and then had a break and […]
Read more "The Andromeda Experience – 8"The second of my favourite film soundtracks is Doug Liman’s 1999 comedy… Go If you haven’t seen it, it’s the tale of one weekend through several sets of eyes, some young convenience store workers, a couple of actors and a drug dealer or two. It stars Sarah Polley, Timothy Olyphant, Katie Holmes and Taye Diggs […]
Read more "Monday Music 24 – 2018"Last year I did a post about the scary film I was watching for Halloween. As it happened it was the TV version of Nigel Kneale’s The Stone Tape, which is probably one of my favourite spooky stories ever. I’ve been holding on and holding on to watch this year’s film, which was a Christmas present […]
Read more "Halloween Special – In the Mouth of Madness"Hi there, I’ve decided to devote the next few Monday Music posts to some of my favourite film soundtracks.

I thought I would start with probably my favourite of them all, 1997’s Grosse Pointe Blank. […]
Read more "Monday Music 23 – 2018"So, we have our Lady Jessica. This little piece of news about Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming Dune project with Legendary Pictures snuck in under my radar. I don’t know exactly when it was announced. I just saw it on iMDB. My first reaction was: I know that name but I’m not sure where from. When I […]
Read more "Casting Dune – Rebecca Ferguson initial reactions"It was Saturday night and I’d settled in to my palatial accommodations on the Camden Road. I’d had a great first day at the Twin Peaks UK Festival, the highlight of which, I think, was hearing Chrysta Bell sing this fantastic song, Blue Rose. I was going to write a post about the first day […]
Read more "Lady of the Blue Rose – a poem"My weekend at the Twin Peaks UK Festival started early on Saturday morning. After getting lucky with buses and trains, I ended up at Camden Road. After a short wait in the queue, my VIP access brought me to a table full of donuts, two of which I dispatched in short order. The first room […]
Read more "Twin Peaks UK Festival 2018 in pictures"This week’s Monday Music is two great performances from this weekend’s Twin Peaks UK Festival. Chrysta Bell and Rebekah Del Rio both put in stunning performances which the audio on my camcorder does no justice to whatsoever. They were both wonderful and so different. I’ll be following up in the next couple of days with […]
Read more "Monday Music 22 – 2018"Hi everyone, I’ve shared this news already with some, but I thought I would put out a wider post about the fantastic news I had a couple of weeks ago.

Read more "Poetry Win! Twin Peaks haiku project"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.
