"Exercises for getting unstuck, changing your behaviour, and reaching your goals." Another week, another self help book? 'fraid so! Why do I do this to myself? Well, mainly because I live in hope that somewhere out there is a book that'll help me figure it all out. No, it probably doesn't exist! In the meantime, … Continue reading The Better Habits Workbook – Stephanie Sorady Arias
I have more than reached the point of "Urgh, not another Marvel TV show", if I'm being honest. And frankly, Hulk is probably my least-favourite character, smart version or otherwise. But, seeing this was only a half-hour show, I figured I'd give it an episode. And... it's fun. Ooh - there's what's been missing through … Continue reading She Hulk (season 1)
"There's no such thing as sleeping late on a Saturday when you have pets."

Fortunately the alien Ministers, cold and immortal, stepped in to rescue humanity - but at the cost of their freedom. Now a rebellion of humanity inhabits one half … Continue reading The Immortality Thief – Taran Hunt
"Consistency is one of the key components when it comes to reaching your goals because when you are consistent, you will keep doing something regardless of wat is going on around you." I absolutely know that one of my own big problems with pursuing any goal is a lack of consistency. Even when I feel absolutely motivated, … Continue reading The Consistency Formula – Suzi Sung
I have to admit, I haven't been overly impressed with 'Phase 4' of the MCU, but nor am I saying I should have stopped with Endgame; it's just more of a lucky dip as to whether you'll get something fun or not. I perhaps stoopidly had high hopes for Thor: L&T, but alas it's a bit … Continue reading Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
"'First,' said Florio the gangster, 'I'm going to cut off your nose and make you eat it.'"
