[Echo Mike Papa] releases next Friday. The 31st of July. (Maybe the 30th for some platforms - don't ask.) Anywho, I had a thought and I ran it past Robbie and Admin Bubbles and then Doris. We are in agreement. Next Friday there will be a little bit of a shindig at our place. A … Continue reading Not long now.

Somebody pour me a drink
It's been a year. I am aware it's not even mid-July but it's been a year. It's a year since Superman's slowly fatal head injury. Six months was fucking insanity. At times, hilarious, but mostly awful. Then the next six months of getting stuff sold, bought, organised. It's also been a year since the home … Continue reading Somebody pour me a drink

Such fun! Let's just say that my bad actors are indeed a threat to our security. I knew that already, … Continue reading Light reading
Long walk off a short plank:
Quite pleased with the direction of [Indigo Delta Kilo] at this point. I can see the next few scenes (as video in my brain as usual) so that's good. The title of this post came about because Crockett said it and I haven't heard that phrase for a long time. Probably the last time I … Continue reading Long walk off a short plank:
If you could read my mind …
You’d be terrified if someone could read your mind. You’d be terrified if you read mine.Not because of the secrets, though, let’s be honest, there are a few, but because of the sheer chaos of it.Half-formed thoughts. Fragments. Scenes with no beginning. Dialogue with no context. It would look like nonsense. And yet … somewhere in … Continue reading If you could read my mind …
