Cheer up you miserable bugger

Had one of those days today when I brood on the past and the useless yet inevitable regrets rear their ugly heads. It seems that despite how well a life turns out...admittedly, that's a strange turn of phrase due to the fact that a life doesn't really turn out any way as all lives end the same way; but you know what I mean (see what I mean about the mood I've been in today)...we all seem to have regrets.

Who’ll watch Watchmen?

For those of you who don't know; the film adaption of Watchmen is scheduled for UK release in March. And I expect that there are not many of you who don't. Regardless of any advertising efforts by the film company (Warner Bros.), pretty much everyone who is going to see this movie will already be in eager anticipation of its release. Last year alone the paperback of Watchmen sold more than half-a-million copies; not bad for a 22 year old comic-book!

The Art of Blogging?

As a writer I am well aware of the horrors of the blank page or screen. As someone who enjoys confronting and overcoming the difficulty such a horror creates, I have long been fascinated by the art of blogging. After all, it seems to me that a blogger takes every day as an opportunity to sit in front of a blank screen with the aim of putting down something that others will find interesting.
So, if all this is true, then why have I only now turned myself into a blogger?
