Finally returning to Sheffield after a prolonged absence from all social activities, I was keen to go out and with the invitation from my friend Simon made the short trip to Sheffield Hallam’s Union (my first visit in the three years I’ve been in Sheffield). The night was somewhat spoiled by my favourite coat disappearing at the end of the night, fortunately for me I had the foresight to take everything out and stuff them into my pockets before leaving it on the side. Anyway some pictures for you to look at.
It’s recommendation time again, after speedily making my way through the five series of The Wire that I recently wrote about, I needed something else to keep me occupied in the evenings during my tenure at The Kent & Canterbury Hospital.
Now considering all my other nerdtastic past times, it may come somewhat as a surprise that aside from the distinguished work of Alan Moore on the Watchmen, I have no other comic book experience. This all led me to pursue Robert Kirkman’sThe Walking Dead after hearing whispers across the internet from a broad range of sources, including Charlie Brooker who deserves much credit for his acerbic wit amongst others who praise the series highly.
I’ve had the luxury of being able to catch up on the previous six years within the span of a few evenings and now freshly caught up with the tale, I’m stuck waiting for the latest release scheduled for monthly intervals. The story is on-going and so who knows how long I’ll stick with it but it comes highly recommended by me and many others before me. You can conveniently buy The Walking Dead in collected volumes, which would be the best way to go.
I discovered this shortdocumentary about Japan’s plan to thwart it’s dwindling population with the interjection of wait for it — robots, yes I said robots — brilliant huh?
What’s there to say that hasn’t already been said about HBO’s The Wire? With time to spare in my evenings in Canterbury I quickly became acquainted and excited about my daily excursion into the grimy and dirty happenings of Baltimore, Maryland.
With The Sopranos and The West Thing just to name a few recent shows, television drama for those who seek it has never been better.
Whilst based in Canterbury I took the short bus journey towards the coastal town of Herne Bay with Catherine, a place she spent many summers as a young girl with her grandparents. I took a few photos which I share with you below but you can find my Herne Bay set on Flickr for more if you so wish to you rasclart!
