What is it like being married for 10 years?
I hope everybody enjoyed Star Wars Day and Free Comic Book Day over the weekend! We did and we also enjoyed something else too. The main person to blame about anything concerning New Zealand’s 5th least favourite website just celebrated his 10th wedding anniversary. And for those of you not keeping up, that’s me, by…
Happy Star Wars and Free Comic Book Day!
As you can tell, today is not a Monday; so why is there a short blog post from me? That’s a simple answer, because not only is today Star Wars Day, but it’s also Free Comic Book Day! Star Wars Day is always held on the 4th of May, regardless of what day it is, just so people can say, May…
We Didn’t Start the Fire: 1950
Welcome to the latest instalment of my breakdown of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire. The two previous entries in this strange franchise are We Didn’t Start the Fire: The Beginning and We Didn’t Start the Fire: 1948-1949.

The Christchurch Half Marathon: 21.1 km of more regret
Since our two old friends, COVID-19 and the current living crisis1 have been stalking the land and intimidating people, like two high school idiot bullies, my half marathon running experience has been rather poor.

The World Destroyer. The Right Hand of Doom. The Beast of the Apocalypse. Anung un Rama. Hellboy has been called many things over the years, as well as being an outstanding arse-kicker.

My wife likes to quit TV shows
I noticed that I haven’t written about my wife recently. Since she’s the main person I try to impress, I thought I’d better rectify that small oversight. Some of my previous posts involving her are her favourite books, our age gap, Les Misérables, King Charles III, and the entertainment differences between us. For those of…
We Didn’t Start the Fire: 1948-1949
There have been numerous terrible ideas throughout the history of our planet, and unfortunately, many of them have originated from this account. Despite this, we will carry on the tradition and introduce the latest addition to the family of bad ideas, which is Some Geek Told Me. Last month, I ranted on about my love…
100 Days of Chaos
Allow me to take a momentary pause from my typical geek-related content to discuss the current status of the Coalition of Chaos in New Zealand. It has been well over 100 days since the ex-Air New Zealand CEO was elected to lead the country by 38.08% of the voting population. Furthermore, 8.64% of voters supported…
Where would we be without Akira Toriyama?
I had a completely different blog lined up for this week, but after the media announcement on Friday, I changed my mind and wrote this instead.
