A Birthday Celebration

YouTube, it's been a great five years. Thank you. Cue hilarity...

Mega-Blog, Part 2

And now for the rest of what's currently sitting in my mind!

As of last week, I'm now an avid fan of Doctor Who. I'd never watched an episode before, but I had myself a little marathon on iPlayer, and I'm now hooked on Matt Smith and Karen Gillan's adventures through time and space. The Eleventh Doctor's fantastic, just the right mix of comedy and drama, and Amy Pond's appearing to be a great companion. I've not got anything to compare it to, but I'm now greatly appreciating the series so far. Looking forward to "The Vampires of Venice."

And in good news, Henry Sugar's almost finished! I have just a few more scenes to write, and I AM DONE!! Not to boast or anything, but I like what I've done. It's not just a straight adaptation, I've added plenty of my own stuff. It's only a first draft, so it's hardly Oscar-worthy, but I like what I've done as a base for future improvement. I'm happy with what I've done, and I know I'm not any good, but I'm actually enjoying it, and might even knock up an original composition or two, in time...



Also, Marvel's next movie after Iron Man 2 gets its first official picture! Thor, which Kenneth Branagh's directing, and while Chris Hemsworth is playing Thor (he was Captain Kirk's dad at the beginning of the new Star Trek), it's also starring Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins! It's out next year, and apparently there's a Thor reference in IM2, which I haven't yet seen, so don't spoil it! Having read a few of the comics, I'm a fan, so I'm looking forward to this time next year.

Speaking of Iron Man 2, I indulged in my inner child the other day and tried on one of the face masks at work. The epitome of cool, I was!

And guys, here's the best video, of all time, ever. Christopher Walken reading the lyrics to Poker Face. Might not be funny if you're not aware of who Mr Christopher Walken may be, but fans of his distinctive voice will be enthralled. Let's watch!



For now, I believe that's everything, but then again, my mind wanders. A lot. Expect updates soon. Adios.

Darren out, saying no, you can't read my poker face!
