Boing.
Posted on March 26, 2009 | 1 CommentMy ears twitched in annoyance at the springing fool in front of me. Up and down he bounced, grinning inanely and clapping his hands over his head. Clearly, having massive coiled springs attached to his feet had driven off his sanity. “Woooooooooo” he cried. “Look... -
Fish Spoon Phone
Posted on March 24, 2009 | 1 CommentKio said Fish. John D said Spoon. Alex was on the phone. Hence, the following. The ground shook as the great, flapping, pufferfish bounced down the street towards me. It was one of the weird deep-sea varieties – all teeth and spikes – and didn’t... -
Elephant-faced man.
Posted on March 24, 2009 | No CommentsI hit the ground with a thump, danced around a little, and then grinned cheerfully at nothing in particular. The elephant-faced man hit the ground a few feet behind me, but at a considerably higher velocity (due to the additional mass he carried in the... -
Hello?
Posted on March 24, 2009 | No CommentsBeen a bit quiet lately. With good reason too – if you check the “I love it when this happens” post below, you’ll see that I’m working on a book. Well, I’m now about 23,000 words into the first draft and that’s only made possible... -
The Hunt for Red October – Tom Clancy
Posted on March 17, 2009 | No CommentsOkay, so I work in I.T. As a result of this, I know more than my fair share of acronyms – both three-letter and otherwise. This notwithstanding, I found this book bewildering in the extreme. Not because it reads like stereo instructions (it does) and... -
I love it when this happens.
Posted on March 12, 2009 | No CommentsIt started out with a short, funny, story about a seance, written by a very talented bloke at my writer’s group. “I’ve never written a story about a seance,” I thought. Then I started thinking “What if…” and before I knew what had happened, I... -
Exodus – Julie bertagna
Posted on March 8, 2009 | No CommentsI haven’t finished this, and I’m not going to. There are two compelling (for me) reasons why this is the case. Firstly, it’s written in the present tense and that irritates the hell out of me. I have no justification for this – it just... -
I can’t write.
Posted on March 8, 2009 | No CommentsMy head is full of the characters, plot and setting of the Twilight series. This is not good. I thought reading Exodus would act as an antidote, but I just can’t get into it because it’s written in the present tense and Twilight is just... -
Twilight Saga – Stephenie Meyer
Posted on March 5, 2009 | No CommentsI make no apologies. I really enjoyed these books. I’m also glad I decided to split my mini-reviews as well, although I should have just covered all four at once. So, we know the plot – human girl meets vampire boy, romance ensues, strife arises and... -
Eclipse – Stephenie Meyer
Posted on March 4, 2009 | No CommentsAs I’ve just gone straight onto Breaking Dawn, I thought I may as well hang off on the mini-review and do both at once. Makes things easier.
