It’s actually not that early, we should all probably be thinking about buying gifts and that sort of thing. Another year, guh! For the festive season I’ve made Dwardus Prime a little more cheery. Expect more content shortly, including additions to the Vika Noir mythology.

You will also notice the bloody big RSS logo over there > so you can subscribe if you like. There’s another over at the Sandwich Man webcomic to subscribe to so you never miss a page.

I’ve watched a few good films lately, including There Will be Blood, Pure, and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. I’ll add some new reviews in the coming weeks. I’ve been in more of a reading phase this past week or two. I’m mainly reading instructional/informative books like The Writer’s Journey by Christopher Vogler as recommended by Silja. It’s a great book if you’re interested in writing screenplays or novels or are just interested in the structure of story telling. I have also bought a book called How to Write and Sell Short Stories by Della Galton but as I’ve been focussing on my “big” story (hopefully my first novel, but let’s play it down for now, eh) I’ll read this at a later date.

New Sandwich Man page coming right up. Have a nice christmas song. Laters!

I think it's really cool! There's a whole lot of hate over it at the BBC website at the moment. I mean Jesus, we're talking 90% pure, unadulterated hate. I think the problem is that it is for a Bond film, and everyone's so quick off the mark to call it crap unless it's exactly what they thought it would be. Before White and Keys were revealed as the singers I thought it was gonna be Duffy, who I'm sure would have done an ace little number. Muse would have been perfect for the job but I don't think they were ever asked. I reckon Winehouse was hit and miss - she could either have done something fantastic, or frankly, pap. The fact that Ronson scrapped whatever it is that they produced is immaterial, he's not exactly the next John Lennon, is he? Anyway, this tune is no way as bad as people are saying, it's pretty catchy and I'm sure it'll grow on me even more. It seems like people just want to hark on about how much they know about Bond and music, and why change is bad. Sod em!]]> First question – what’s wrong with it?! I think it’s really cool!

Here’s the link to the full song. I’m not sure how long it’ll be up, so click now (unless you like James Bond, then apparently, don’t)!
