Return of the Poster

I’m sorry that this has been a long time since I last posted a journal entry, but our lives have been very hectic of late and I have had no time to go to the library to use the net.
Candy and I have been really busy trying to sort out the sale of this house and also dealing with my poor health, which has recently gotten worse.
But enough of that just yet, let’s get on with this blog entry –

There has been a great number of television shows on recently and my favourite shows have been – NCIS, Dexter, Dirty Sexy Money, Heroes, Kyle XY, Skins, Shameless, Torchwood, and Big Bang Theory.
I have been really disappointed with Doctor Who this season as the choice of Catherine Tate as the doc’s companion was a big mistake, she is just a pain in the back side and the storylines have been a bit rubbish too.
As a once avid fanboy of Doctor Who, I am glad it’s taking a break next year from our screens.
The only other show on the box that I dislike is Pushing Daisies. It is just too weird and too twee for it’s own good.

As for the bigger screen Candy treated us both to watch IRONMAN for my birthday and Oh My Gawd it was awesome.
One of the best superhero movies out there, and if you have not watched it yet, stay in your seats until after the credits and there is a very nice cameo from Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

I’ve also surprised myself recently and gotten into watching Bollywood movies on Channel 4, my favourite has been Dhoom 2 which is an action/comedy movie starring Hrithik Roshen, I have become a big fan of this actor and I have watched a season of his movies.
If you are ever on You Tube, check out the trailer of Dhoom 2.
Being half Malaysian, my attitudes to my late father’s culture has changed and I would like to explore more of my heritage, I have lots of family members in India and Malaysia that I have not even met yet, including half siblings who don’t even know that I exist.

I celebrated my 33rd birthday on the 3rd of May, and I had a very good time.
Originally we were going to come down to Milton Keynes for Collectormania but we could not get our finances sorted in time so we just went into York for the day.
Candy treated us both to a lovely buffet meal at Jasmine’s, which is a very nice Chinese restraunt, she bought be a silver chain bracelet, Lord of the Rings Extended DVD Boxset for £10, Neverwinter Nights and two expansion games for £10, the original Battlestar Galactica series on video for £3.50, Super Skrull and Thing Toy Figures for £2.00.
We really love the charity shops in York!
Also it was Free Comic Book Day at Travelling Man, and we picked up lots of freebies, despite the two people working there trying to stop people taking more than one comic each.
I can’t wait until we find a better comic book shop or when we start our own shop in Shrewsbury.
Plus I got a really lovely birthday message from Sarah and Martin, which cheered me up as I do miss my friends back in MK.

Talking about friends, I got back in touch with Heena who I had not spoken to in nearly two years now, I really was worried about her and I missed her lots.
But after finding one friend, I think I have lost contact with others.
Tried getting in contact with Vicki but I think she has moved away and forgotten to tell me where too.
She does have a problem in thinking that she meets up with me and tells me stuff but she never does, I’ve not seen that crazy girl since my mum’s funerial back in ’02.
I’m sure she has met up with my doppelganger instead, which I seem to have one in York too as well as Milton Keynes.
I’m also glad to have gotten back in contact with Debbie, as she has been another one I have worried about.

There has been an echelon of stars that have recently passed away these last few months and the world is now a poorer place for it.
Rest in Peace for the following people –

Gary Gyrax – The creator and brilliant mind behind Dungeons and Dragons and the inspiration for role players everywhere.

Dave Stevens – The creator of the Rocketeer graphic novel and character of the same name.

Steve Gerber – The creator of Howard the Duck and various other Marvel and DC 1970’s/80’s comic Books of fantastic value, he passed away a week before the release of Howard on DVD.

Arthur C. Clarke – The best science fiction writer and leading voice of our future.

And lets not forget all the thousands that have recently been killed in the Chinese earthquakes.

Now on to something spooky!
A few weeks ago we encountered our first poltergeist in this house up close, we do get some ghostly activity in this house, due to the location of the property and the age of the place (built in the 50’s), and we have had things move around the house and being in a different place where we left it, the TV turning on and off on its own accord and we have had shadows move around when there has been no one there.
But the icing of the cake was when we were in bed, chatting about stuff around the early hours of the morning, when our double sized bed rose up and started slamming up and down for nearly a minute.
It was such an exciting rush, being scared and being rather excited that we had made contact with the other side.
And trust me it was not an earthquake as nothing else in our room or house moved out of place, plus having the both of us in bed and we are not what you call a skinny couple would take a lot of normal people to lift the bed up and down.
It really was cool.

And now on to my health, like I said it has been really poor recently and I have nearly been housebound with the pain and the lack of eyesight as well.
My medication has changed several times and now I am taking nearly 29 tablets a day which include several strong painkillers which knocks me out for most of the day, tablets for my blood pressure, tablets for my diabetes which I have also increased my insulin dosage, vitamin tablets, and tablets for reducing the swelling of my legs and stomach.
Plus I have had trouble seeing very well ever since I had my eyes tested and I had to have my eyes dilated several times in one day, now some days all I can see is a small blur in the centre of my eyesight with bright flashing lights around the edges, whilst other days I am all right and can see quite well.
I’ve now even taken up to wearing my sunglasses nearly every day, even indoors.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be getting my back seen by my osteopath, which I had to go private.
Tearing a muscle in the lower part of my back and then rehealing in the wrong position has taken its toll on me and it hurts like bloody hell.
I tell you what, I can’t wait to get rid of the walking stick.

For all you Star Wars fans out there, Candy had an absolute amazing find yesterday in a charity shop, she bought for 15p an original 1983 Return of the Jedi jigsaw puzzle in mint condition.
She says she will check the price out on ebay.

Anyway that is it for the moment, will post more later, promise.

Return of the Funnies Part One

A "heads up" for you and any of your friends who may be regular customers at Tesco Over the last month I became the victim of a clever scam whilst out shopping. Simply going out to get some bits and bobs has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you! Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good looking 18 or 19 year old girls come over to your car as you are loading your stuff into the boot. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windowlene, with their cleavage almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask you for a lift to another shopping centre. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen on December 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, three times just yesterday, and very likely again this upcoming weekend as soon as I can buy some more wallets. Please pass this message on to all the men you know to warn them about this scam.

I Can't Think of a Title Post

So Christmas has come and gone, and we had a very quite time, just the two of us in the Louis household.
It was rather a good Christmas and much better than the year before as I was ill at the time.
On Boxing Day we went out for a walk into town, and we were surrounded by loads of people gathering for the Boxing Day hunt.
Just past the gathering of people, there were the horses and the riders all dressed up and ready to hunt down some poor defenceless animals.
I do have photos, which I will post later.
I know they say animal hunting is banned, but I don’t trust these posh knobs that say they don’t do it anymore as they gather their hunting dogs to kill.

Well I am in TV Heaven at the moment, what with NCIS, Torchwood, Primeval, Shameless, Moving Wallpaper/Echo Beach, and Never Mind the Buzzcocks on the box, It’s all goodness.

Sad to hear about the death of Heath Ledger the other day, he was destined to be one of the Hollywood Greats.
I hear that his upcoming performance of the Joker in the Dark Knight movie will be the best.
I will be looking forward to seeing that film but I will have a glint of sadness as I did when I watched the Crow.
Now who will play the part of the Joker in the third Batman flick?
We will have to wait until 2010/11 for that answer.

The title of the new James Bond movie has now been revealed to be –
The Quantum of Solace.
It’s still going to be bollocks with Daniel Craig in the lead role.

Well we will be moving in the next several weeks, we are packing up at the moment but it is taking ages, as I can’t physically do a lot due to my back injury.
So it does mean I won’t be online as much as I was for the next month or two as I will be too busy.
So my journal entries will be random but if anyone is interested in me, you can still email me at my address or leave a message on my face book page.
Please do, as I love getting mail!

See ya soon folks…

It's a Wonderful Life

I miss blogging on a regular basis. I have access to the Internet at the local library for 55 minutes only for 3-4 days only if I’m really lucky. It really sucks!
I miss scanning through various online message boards, paranormal websites, and tweaking my various web journals with new plug-on’s.
I honestly can’t wait to get back online fully and chat to my friends on msn messenger.

I’ve been aware recently how lucky I am to have such a good close-knit group of friends.
I miss seeing them everyday, and catching up with any gossip.
It is one of the problems of living in the wilderness and away from any decent civilizations.
To all who know me and like me, I salute you!

I have finally come up with an umbrella title for my comic book publishing empire.
Out goes Black Cat Press, and in comes Annwyfn Comics. ©
(Anoi’ven: Hades, Celtic land of the dead).
It represents the spirit of what I want to write, the mystery and mysticism of my inner voice.
The following titles that will get published at some point are:
The Impossible Adventures of Jack Infinity – An action packed Sci-Fi adventure.
The Chronicles of Blackwold – A dimensional hopping fantasy western.
The Wooden Knight – A magical Fantasy quest.
The Incredible Iron Lion – An epic superhero adventure.

So as you can see I am going to be busy next year!

Well tomorrow is my first wedding anniversary, plus it's Halloween and a Wiccan's new year.
So it's going to be a very busy day.
I can't believe I have been living in Easingwold for nearly 23 months now, the time has flown, so much has happened since I have been here.
Candy has made me the most happiest man alive, I am honoured and proud to be her husband.

Candy I love you Darling, Happy Anniversary Sweetheart.

Good and Bad

I am getting so fed up with the new TV shows that are on now, so called exciting programs that pull you into watching them and then you get disappointed by the results.
Three of the biggest autumn TV shows were -

The Outsiders - which was really boring, no action at all, heck I have seen more action scenes in the soaps that I watch.
It was supposed to be an action packed espionage thriller that did not deliver.

Cracker – which was so bloody tedious and boring that I almost fell asleep.

And the new series of Robin Hood which was laughable and quite rubbish, I don’t think I will be watching this program again.
They got so many things wrong with the mythology of this show, that it felt like an American low budget programme.

Thank goodness for soaps!


I have been checking my BP everyday now with this new monitor I bought the other week, and with the new medications I am taking my levels are getting lower.
I am still struggling with my diabetes medicine as it is not working as well as I would like it to do. And I am suffering really bad from an overload of increased sugar levels.
But I am going to a diabetic clinic for help next month.

Bought myself a new mobile phone last week with a camera attachment, so I can take loads of photos of my beautiful wife!
And naked ones of myself ;-)
but you don't have to worry, none of it will be published on here!

Finally got ourselves a chest freezer yesterday at last we can buy lots of meat and other healthy food.
Plus we can also order ourselves a bed as well, as we have been sleeping on the floor for the last few months after breaking our old one.

So fingers crossed, I think things are slowly getting back on track and if things do go to plan, we will definitely be moving next year.

Bad Health

My health has not been improving of late, My type II diabetes is getting slightly worse, as so is my blood pressure.
The medication's that I am taking are alright but the side effects have been really bad for me, so much so that I have trouble sometimes thinking and forming words and my mobility is very shaky that sometimes I have to walk with a walking stick.
But I must continue trying different medication's and trying to get a better result.
I even bought a BP monitor yesterday so I can test it at home.

And now on to other bad news, our new pet budgie Treacle passed away a couple of weeks ago,
I discovered his lifeless body at the bottom of his cage that he shares with our other budgie Custard, she was devastated and now a bit scared whenever we come near the cage.
Scarlet was extremely upset as I bought her the budgie as a present, he was a very beautiful blue budgie and will be sadly missed.

Ho hum...meh.

On to other good news now...

Bought X-Men 3 yesterday and we really enjoyed it, it was a very good movie, had a few faults with it due to the characters and plot lines, but overall a good film.

Been designing more stuff for Iron Lion, including some art concepts that Scarlet has been coming up with.
So far it is looking good.
Got the general storyline background pretty much written up on loads of scrap pieces of paper everywhere haha.

Next week we are planning on slowly getting back into going for walks down the lane, etc.
Just to get fitter and to lose a bit more weight, we are also trying to balance our diets and eating less food.

More later on.
