New Vine video: The Glass Tower

So, I was in Pizza Express earlier, found some stackable water glasses, and there was only one logical conclusion: TIME FOR ANOTHER VINE VIDEO

Well, I could hardly ignore obvious certainty, so here it is. Apologies for the lack of cuddly toys.

New TV blogging: Black Mirror review! Office news!

Main attraction today: review of Monday's Black Mirror series 2 conclusion - The Waldo Moment - on The Digital Fix.

And on the same site, a short news piece about the forthcoming return of The Office for Comic Relief.

Oh, and if you fancy voting for Hobson & Choi, the last day of the month is a very advantageous time to do so.

New TV preview: Being Human on The Digital Fix

Spoiler-free preview of the penultimate ever Being Human on The Digital Fix!

Seriously, it ends forever soon, and this makes me sad. Hopefully it'll be a good send-off, at least.

The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey – Untimely Book Review

A book blogger I know claims many of them end up reviewing books ages after they come out, so calling these “Untimely Book Reviews” doesn’t say much. Ultimately, I’m not as much of a precious little snowflake as I’d like.

Which leads me neatly into The Snow Child! Set in 1920s Alaska, written by authentic Alaskan Eowyn Ivey, this novel re-imagines a Russian fairy tale about a childless older couple who fashion a child out of a snow and, seemingly through hope alone, find she has come to life. But how long will she be able to stay?

Hobson & Choi - Chapter 2: #HobsonVsWolf

Hobson & Choi part 2: "#HobsonVsWolf"! The second installment of my new modern day detective online serial! Find it now on the Jukepop Serials website!

This week, Hobson & Choi might have a case - but only if they can stop arguing about their social media strategy long enough to go investigate it.

Note that you'll need to register for Jukepop to click through to chapter two and onwards. And once you've done that, you may as well click the "+Vote Now!" button for each chapter, which helps me top the charts and become the bestest. More info in my kick-off blog post last week.

And comments welcome, here or on Jukepop. I have a broad plan but there's plenty of room for input and detours.

New TV review: Walking Dead on Dork Adore!

New Walking Dead review on Dork Adore! How would you like to live in that awful world?

And now, a short break until the Sunday night TV. Yeah, I'm tired too. Yesterday's Friday story is an interesting backwards thingy, if that appeals.
