Yes, I'm all for the Staycation! Looking forward to doing this soon!

2 My best handwriting!

I'm fairly shocking, you're spared that in my blogs, but I'm keen to preserve handwriting! Here's why! It's good for you!!

3 I'm the greatest (written by John, sung by Ringo)

Humility rocks, alright!

4 Warren Ellis signs off again

Everything is surreally terrible, and it is a strange and awful thing to be living through these times.  Things always change.  Tomorrow there will, inevitably, be new awful things.  There will also be new wonders. And that's what we wait here. Sit here a while with me. It'll happen. Hold on tight.

5 Sucker for Top 100s

The top 100 films of the last 19 years! Cool! Will be good to check how many are on Netflix.

Overtime: In praise of (slightly) crazy!

Think Robin Williams. I love this article and fully believe it, too!

1 Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

In the past I've dipped into it, but I decided to watch Jerry Seinfeld's show from the first episode. The above is how excited I am by that prospect. Haven't caught it on Netflix yet? What are you thinking??

2 Senior career level

Found this article interesting - indicates the things that you were initially hired for, then how that changes as you progress from mid career to 'senior', which is where I'm at. 

And I think it's pretty accurate actually. Have a gander. What do you think?

3 Why Route 66 matters




4 Comics

If comics are your thing - dig this rundown from the good people at The Guardian. Warren Ellis gets a mention for The Wild Storm (above).

5 Love this image of Elwood Blues

Overtime: 2Stoned

Started the second volume of Andrew Loog Oldham's autobiography this week. It's a hoot!

RIP rock music?

3 New movies

Vox reckon these new movies are worth waiting for...hmmm.

4 Warren Ellis

Latest sign off: Lock all the damn doors, shut out anyone who doesn't deserve your time and lives to make your life harder, and take five minutes of free air to be who you are and to be in the world and at peace. You're doing better than you think. Hold on tight. 

5 Speaking of Warren 

Coming soon...

Overtime: King Crimson

The latest Mojo to reach my newsagents had a free covermount CD featuring King Crimson. I love the early Crimson stuff. As long as they keep their music in circulation, rock will never be dead.
