I got CyberPower!

 Well it's been quite a week. I managed to secure a full-time permanent contract with the museum, which I was really happy with.

Today I received my shiny new PC from CyberPower. Yes I have finally joined the PC revolution, with a nice catalogue of PC games waiting for me I am really excited to get started. I have captured some lovely images, so enjoy...


Arrival!

A big box of awesomeness

'X' Marks The Spot


So I'm revisiting The X-Files on DVD at the moment and I am now on Season 2. Aired August 28, 1995 (BBC), most of the season was affected by Gillian Anderson's pregnancy and her leaving the show for a brief period, which was explained in four episodes -  "Duane Barry" (2x05) through to "One Breath" (2x08). The season still incorporates the highly enjoyable monster-of-the-week scenarios and the continuing alien conspiracy mythology, while introducing the alien bounty hunter and Scully's abduction (which is then brought up further down the line and adding more to the conspiracy with her illness and alien implants).

I do love this series, my favorite episodes being "DØd Kalm", "Humbug" and "Soft Light". I have still got a long way to go, however, so I better get cracking!

Das ist es jetzt...

In The Beginning...

This is where I start, and so I shall begin.

Hello there reader, I welcome you to my Blog and my world as I see it and live it. To begin let me tell you about myself. I turned 29 only a few weeks ago, most of my time is spent working at the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Observatory (now collectively known as the RMG - Royal Museums Greenwich). It is a brilliant job, one of the best I have had. In my spare time, when I am not working, I enjoy video games, writing short stories and reading H. P. Lovecraft. Currently I am reading 'H. P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life' by Michel Houellebecq, an essay style piece that delves into the life of HPL, his wild fantastical dreams that inspired his works, his hatred for all forms of realism and his rejection of subjects relating to sex and money. It's a ffascinating read and I'm only one-quarter of the way through.

Persequendum Est...
