Playing Catch Up

I recently borrowed and read "Watchmen".

I have often heard huddled groups of geeks going on about its brilliance and never bothered myself with it. Really don't know why, just never been much of a comic book kinda guy. I have read a few and even own some, but have never followed them.

I read in empire that it is "finally" going to be made into a film. I have heard Trench and Col Orange argue about this many times, so finally thought I should get round to reading it.

The Col, upon finding out what I was planning to read, said:

"You know how everyone always goes on about Citizen Kane, and how its a great master piece, well directed, acted and written? But then you watch it and its dull as f***! Well Watchmen is the complete opposite, everyone goes on about how great it is cause, its that good!"


Well folks i have read it.

And high praise is indeed due. Its mental. I mean..........wow!

The best way for me to explain it........I read all the reviews about Fight Club and they were all good. Everyone that had seen it liked it. It didn't seem like my thing, but I rented it out to see Brad Pitt get beaten up. 30mins in and I'm hooked. When it had finished it left me spinning. A few days later and I still hadn't stopped thinking about it. I watched that film so many times, everyone was right, its mental! It is my fav film of all time.

Well replace Fight Club with Watchmen. Even if you aren't into comics in a big way, you will still like it. Its so well written. You have to read all the stories inbetween the chapters as well, cause that adds to everything.

It cannot be made into a film. There is just way to much going on for it to work on any level. Terry Gilliam said back in the 80's that it wouldn't work as a film, but would make it if it was 12 one hour long specials, like a Mini-series. That would work better but I am willing to bet you would still lose way to much.


Best off leaving it as a book.

Breaking News

".... and experts say Harry Potter is taking over the world."

Way To Cool To Be Six

Met up with Jecca and her mum the other day.

Jecca had some pictures done of her and her sister ages ago. I ordered the biggest picture I could get of Jecca on her own (also have a picture of her and her sister). Hadn't seen it just knew I wanted it straight the way.

I got it.........and I have to say that she looks really beautiful and great in it. But then you would expect that.

When her mum showed me the pic, she told me that everyone she has shown it to has said "you should put her up for modelling".

Now, I am against models. If Jecca wants to be one, then so be it. I will help her out. BUT THE SECOND SHE GOES ON A DIET OR ANYTHING DUMB LIKE THAT I WILL GO MENTAL!

Jecca turned round and said......

"I don't want to be a model, I don't want to sing............................I want to learn the drums."




Fine by me girl.



I will post a picture of the picture when I get a good one.



I was so proud I went around the customers and other staff and showed it off.


Jecca is way to awesome to be only 6. Everyone would benefit from meeting her.



Yes I am overally proud, but I have good reason to be.

Two Sides To Every Story

Every now and then Jecca stays over. When it comes time for bed she brushes her teeth, I get her a bowl of biscuits and some juice for the night and I read her 2 Dr Seuss books.

The other night I had sent her upstairs to get her teeth brushed while I got her bedtime snack.

Craigy: I am in the kitchen getting the bowl out of the cupboard and looking for biscuits when....

Jecca: I screamed as loud as I could when I saw it. I was scared out of my skin, I needed help so screamed for my Daddy

Craigy: I dropped the bowl and ran as fast as I could upstairs. As I got closer to the top Jecca was outside the bathroom crying and pointing into the bathroom.

Jecca: My Daddy was running faster than I had ever seen. I pointed into the bathroom so that he could get him.

Craigy: Hang on did she just say "him"? I kicked the door open and was ready for anything.

Jecca: So.....Dad just stood there and look confused.

Craigy: "Jecca there is no-one here? What happened?"

Jecca: Dad just hadn't seen him yet, so I pointed at him.

Craigy: Why in gods name is she pointing above me? I looked up and there it was.............the biggest bloody moth I have ever seen in my life.

Jecca: My dad just walked calmly out of the bathroom picked something up and went back into the bathroom.

Craigy: I am terrified of moths. I hate all flying insects. I jumped out and picked up something to kill it fatally with. I saw a DVD case. Oddly enough "The Love Bug". I had no love for this bug. I walked back into the bathroom.

Jecca: Dad closed the door behind him. He did this so I didn't see him kill it, plus he didn't want it to escape.

Craigy: I closed the door so that Jecca didn't see what a big wuss I am with moths, plus I didn't want it to escape. What if I couldn't find it. It might land on me when I'm asleep. *shudders*

Jecca: There was lots of banging and crashing, then the light went out.

Craigy: The bloody thing was moving so quick round the light, I tried throwing stuff at it but that didn't work. I thought I could calm it down by switching the light off.

Jecca: It all went quiet for a while.

Craigy: I stood there in the dark and then realised..............crap this thing could be anywhere now!

Jecca: The light came on and TWACK!

Craigy: I turned the light on and the rudding thing was on the wall next to me, without hesitating I hit it.

Jecca: The toilet flushed.

Craigy: Scooped up the dead moth and flushed it away. Then went out to make sure Jecca was ok.

Jecca: Daddy walked out the Hero he is, "You're the strongest Daddy ever!" I gave him a big hug.

Craigy: Who the hell am I to ruin this moment? "Thank you Jecca I did it all for you".

What makes me tick?

It explains me better than anyone else ever could.


"Anger is like a soul that gets thing accomplished"


Just you remember that!
