The General Babblings of Chris Wild
I’m pretty pissed today… I’ve only just picked up on that fact that SKY have snatched the rights to lost away from Channel 4. Up until now I had wrongly assumed that they were just showing them earlier like they do with so many other things.
This has really bloody annoyed me! I don’t have sky, don’t intend to have sky… so this means I know either have to buy the DVD’s or give in to piracy and start downloading them from the states…

Basically there is a lake and lots of surrounding land and trees etc… There is a lot of bird life including Herons, Canadian Geese, Coots, Moorhens, Swans etc… and an absolute ton of rabbits.
Anyway, while heading in this morning I noticed 8 Herons just stood around in a circle in the middle of a field. They look like some Druid sect or something. Standing stones set to worship some god or another…

Just added some code to my links page that creates a preview of the page you are linking to, allowing you to see where you are going to by just hovering over the link and not actually going there. It’s powered by Snap which is a search engine. At the moment I kind of like it but have only added it to my links page as to not overpower my site… I’m not sure if I would want it on my main blog pages…

I finished reading Daniel Wallace’s Big Fish last week. This is the second of my trilogy “Reading Book’s of Films that I have watched recently”. It’s a quick book to read being not very long, but it’s lovely and simple and sweet!
If you are not familiar with the book or the film, it’s a man recounting the stories that his father told him as a child about how he used to catch big fish on ice with best boots for ice fishing, where all the stories were about the father. Most of the stories are rather fantasical and a little unbelievable as they paint the father in the light of an extraordinary and great man. But they are used to explain his long absences away from the family.
To me it blends the tall tales that a father tells with the child’s regard of his father as the ultimate hero, and the reconciliation of coming to terms with his father’s pending death.

Daniel Wallace Daniel WallaceI just setup a new blog to handle the lyrics postings. So from now on all lyrics will be posted there. I will probably make reference to updates here but it wouldn’t make any sense to double post.
It’s a bit of an experiment with a few underlying things and I still have a few rough edges to knock off but please take a look and add it to your bookmarks…
