patentdragonITEM! Work on the *cue big reveal* Traveller/Adventurers' Guild of Kraan story continues. The introductions are almost out of the way - now, let's see just how these two sets of protagonists are going to cross paths... if they actually do converge, of course. This story plays an important part in setting out the underlying "whos and whys", so people better be paying attention...
Meanwhile, I have been pondering the possibility of bringing Starbreaker "into the fold", with a Voyager-style series of "lost in space" one-shots. Exactly how the ship and crew get into that situation does however - in Version 1.0 - involve the Borg, the Orange Lanterns and a certain xenomorph...
ITEM! Last week, there was a really good documentary on "The British Invasion" of the '60s and '70s, starting with The Beatles and their contemporaries, and concluding with the mid-'70s, and the impending arrival of punk. Tonight, the second part... and what a po-faced load of crap it was. "The long-haired Americans were just too stupid to 'get' what Britain was producing" was the general message, and completely ignored the HUGE success of Ozzy Osbourne, and the EVEN MORE HUGE success of Def Leppard.
A wasted opportunity.
ITEM! It looks like several "big" movies are getting the cold shoulder at my local cinema. First The Thing last year, then The Darkest Hour, and now I'm getting the impression that Chronicle will follow. Okay, my local can only call upon three screens, and there are a surprising number of major releases around for this time of year - but I'm really hoping I'm not going to have to go "over the river" for Ghost Rider - Spirit Of Vengeance or John Carter (of Mars). I don't mind doing that every once in a while, but travel costs pretty much double the cost...
ITEM! Dammit, that sofa is killing my arse - looks like I might end up heading back to the office before the renovation work is all done, maybe even before the weather turns for the better...
