Voices Of Angels Singing To The Tune Of Devils

10 July, 2009 (23:59) | Music, YouTube | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Ten (Delayed to 18/07/09) I don’t know why I picked that title, but it seemed somewhat fitting and reasonably poetic. I’m going to share with you all a simple joy today, little more than filler, but something that always moves me in different directions. As many of you know, I’m a guy with [...]

Know Your Dreadnoks

9 July, 2009 (23:59) | Comic Books, Television, Toys | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Nine (Delayed to 16/07/09) I’ve mentioned before my love of the Dreadnoks from the GI Joe toy range, so thought I’d just provide a simple overview of the guys and girls that make up one of the best gangs in anytown. Zartan The leader of the Dreadnoks and fairly out of place in [...]

Ominous Box 2?!

8 July, 2009 (23:59) | Toys, YouTube | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Eight (Delayed to 15/07/09) Heh, I channeled Dugal Dugal for a while there I fear…AND I LIKES IT! Hey, you try sounding imposing when you have a throat that’s been burning with bile. Must try again, must try harder. Yes, I realise I haven’t completely covered the first Ominous Box, but I really [...]

British Comedy with Armstrong & Miller

7 July, 2009 (23:59) | Filler, Television, YouTube | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Seven (Delayed to 14/07/09) As a bit of a filler for the day, I thought I’d share some British comedy with you. Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller carry on the tradition of british comedy duos – something that has become almost institutional in the county and a source of much success for entertainers [...]

Competition Time: Music Video or Madness?

6 July, 2009 (23:59) | Music | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Six (Delayed to 11/07/09) I have a habit every time I listen to music to make videos for them in my head, whether comprised of snapshots of scenes or full MTV videos. The first time I ever heard My Chemical Romance’s Black Parade I got almost the full video correct, except a few [...]

Cobra: Pyramids of Darkness

5 July, 2009 (23:59) | Books, Comic Books, Genetic Engineering, Mecha, Television, Toys, World Domination | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Five (Delayed to 11/07/09) I’ve mentioned before about how my brothers and I grew up on Action Force, the UK re-brand of GI Joe, and about my support for COBRA and the Dreadnoks over the good guys of the series – for one thing, Cobra actually had a uniformed military organisation and supporting [...]

Tasty American Tidings

4 July, 2009 (23:59) | Uncategorized | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Four (Delayed to 09/07/09 – Happy Birthday, Amy) Alternative title ideas: 1) The Great Taste of America? Yeah, Her Name Was…wait, what? 2) Since When Has “Great Taste” Ever Been Associated… (see here for further information) Remember, remember the 4th of July…hm…not quite the same ring to it. A lot of countries have [...]

Summer Shakes Shakedown

3 July, 2009 (23:59) | Summer, Summer 2009 | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Three (Delayed to 05/07/09) Summer is the time to cool off and chill out, while simultaneously burning up and looking hot, and there are few better ways than refreshing drinks in the sunshine. I’m not talking about the traditional summer drink of Pimm’s, although if I can I will get around to that [...]

Ominous Box: Non-themed Halloween Candy Treats

2 July, 2009 (23:59) | Halloween, Summer, Summer 2009 | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Two (Delayed to 05/07/09) Ah, Summer, and how better to welcome the summer than to to talk about stuff from Halloween last year? Yes, I believe in being current and in the moment. The kids love me for how modern I am. You may well recall that I started discussing the contents of [...]

Summer Blogging 2009

NaBloPoMo: Day One (Delayed to 05/07/09) As KB pointed out over on her blog, July is National Blog Posting Month with the goal of posting each day in your blog or journal – I imagine producing podcasts and vlogs count too – and like Kristiane, I too am starting off behind with this endeavour. Though [...]
