16.04.2010 Dawning

I think in the last couple of days the enormity of what is about to happen in my life has started to dawn on me. I’ve started looking around our flat and realising that there is going to be baby stuff where previously there was junk. My desk will be replaced by a changing unit and my futon will be replaced with a cot. My space is going to become his space.

But thats the least of my problems – going out on a whim, throwing money around (no iPad for me this year!) or just getting a good nights sleep is all going to go out of the window and be replaced with a screaming, shitting little pink blob.

You know, despite all that I will lose from my former life I have so much to gain. I mean, already I feel like I have bonded with the little guy – I lie with my ear against my wife’s stomach and listen to the noises he makes as he moves around, I talk to him and he responds with kicks and punches. This little thing is already a massive part of my life and changing the person I am, and the person I will become.

I wouldn’t change it for the world – I love this little pink blob and I absolutely can’t wait for him to come out. To see that little face for the first time and hold those little hands, to hear him laugh and cry – that is all I crave now. I am going to be a dad, my life is going to be different and you know what…

I can’t wait.

12.04.2010 The funny thing about SGU’s blue aliens

Is it just be or do the blue alien enemy from Stargate Universe look quite a bit like the blue aliens from the music video for Eifel 65’s “Blue”?

What do you think? Did the SGU designers get their inspiration from an early 2000’s dance music video or is it just really hard to design a bi-pedal blue alien that doesn’t look like this?

For those that haven’t seen it… here’s the original music video for Eifel 65’s “Blue”

06.04.2010 Surprise Book Shop

Just wanted to take a quick moment out to tell you about my latest project (lots of these lately). Surprise Book Shop is a new idea in book purchasing – rather than go to Amazon and pick a book for yourself, let chaos rule your life and have a random book selected for you!

The project also helps support charities as rather than purchasing the books from an actual book shop, I purchase used books from local charity shops – this means the books get a second chance, and the charity gets a couple of quid per book to help support their cause!
