Read more "Monday Music 3 – 2018"I’m nearly two weeks into my haiku project, “What the haiku!”, now and I’m really into it. Each one’s had between 10 and 70 views on YouTube and I’ve had nothing but positive messages and encouragement which has been genuinely heartwarming. I started by thinking that I would record them all in the same place […]
Read more "The Twin Peaks Haiku project – update"Following on from Angel, time to tackle this one… Buffy: Slayer of, the Vampires. This was hard to narrow down. Really hard. I’ve had to leave out some corkers and I know I’m going to take some flak for it in various quarters. In honesty, though, I’m really happy with the final 10 that I […]
Read more "My Top 10 Buffy Episodes"Eos. This is the first new part of Mass Effect Andromeda that I’ve found since I started. The introductory part had all followed a pattern that was quite familiar. However, I took my ship, The Tempest, out for a spin into the Heleus Cluster to the first world to which I had been directed. After playing […]
Read more "The Andromeda Experience – 3"So, it’s been very hard as all the entrants had something unique that I liked. I was especially impressed with the skill that went into drawing faces and hair. If you haven’t seen all the entries yet, you can check them out here The entries were seen by lots of people via the website. My […]
Read more "Cover Art Competition – Round 1 winners"You can now see the winners here Before Christmas, I visited one of the local secondary schools and spoke to some A Level Art students about doing some artwork for The Ardenna Crossing as part of a competition. When I publish the book this year, I’d love to be able to include some artwork from […]
Read more "Cover Art Competition – The Entries"Hi everyone, I had this idea while I was riding home from work today. I’ve decided to challenge myself to write a Twin Peaks inspired haiku poem every day for the next month. Not only that, but I’m going to perform them all on YouTube in short, one-minute videos. Here’s the first one. Hope you enjoyed […]
Read more "What the Haiku! A Twin Peaks poetry experiment"On to another one of my favourite bands this week. From Idaho and Built to Spill, we travel to the other side of the United States to Charlottesville, Virginia; birthplace of… Dave Matthews Band In 1990, Dave Matthews was a bartender in Charlottesville when a friend of his convinced him to record some of the […]
Read more "Monday Music 2 – 2018"Here’s the link to my new Taste of Cinema article: http://www.tasteofcinema.com/2018/the-30-tensest-movie-scenes-of-all-time/ Don’t know where my editor found the images but they have little to do with the actual scenes mentioned in most cases. Before you go there, though, I’d like to take a second to acknowledge two scenes and three actors that I couldn’t mention in […]
Read more "The 30 tensest moments in cinema history"I wrote an article a while back about Cameron Cloutier at the Obnoxious and Anonymous Channel. He’s been trying to raise money through a crowdfunding project to make a Twin Peaks Fan Film. You can see all the details and donate at the link below. I’ve already written about it and there are links to […]
