Guise: Well, this is just perfect…seriously, what could be better than being transformed in to a Playmobil bunny? You know, besides NOT being transformed in to a Playmobil bunny! At least I got to be [...]

The Great Guise Advent Rip-Off : Day 1 (Part 1)

1 December, 2009 (23:59) | Christmas, Christmas 2009, Toys, YouTube | By: Guise Dugal

Wow, been a long time since I updated. In the meantime I’ve tried my hand at daily vlogging (which is a lot harder to do when nothing interesting has gone on), changed jobs and am still in the process of settling in to having the homestead all to myself. However, that’s the past and the [...]

Fruitcake Ramblings…

2 December, 2008 (21:25) | Christmas, Seasonal | By: Guise Dugal

There’s a long standing joke about fruitcake, that nobody likes it and yet everyone gives it. It’s a joke that gets repeated ad nauseum through any possible outlet, be it word of mouth or through modern media. It’s a joke so old that it is a cliche that gets rolled out every winter with little [...]

Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Advents Door…

1 December, 2008 (22:14) | Christmas, Seasonal, Stories | By: Guise Dugal

It’s the first day of December, the day to crack open the first door of Advent Calendars and marvel at the joys within. The day when you can actually start humming Christmas songs without too many strange looks. The day that you can see if it’s ‘festive novelty’ to insert tinsel and baubels into demonstrative [...]

Lacking A Personal Advent-ure

30 November, 2008 (22:21) | Christmas, Filler, Seasonal | By: Guise Dugal

[Wii-kun and boy who is still lacking a name sat on the couch, Brawl-ing]
Dugal Dugal: Ok, Wii-mote Boy…
Wii-kun: Um, Wii-kun?
Dugal: Uh-huh, sure…listen you, you’ve been selected for a mission of utmost importance.
Wii-kun: Can it wait, I’m kind of in the middle of something?
boy: Wii-kun is teaching me smashes, onee-san!
Dugal: What?! How come I never get [...]

“Aha,” Guise exclaimed lifting the handheld device in to the air, with just a little backlighting and a miniscule fanfare he would have been mistaken for being sucked in to part [...]

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

“Amy, any news?” Will asked as he and Guise enterred the room. Amy stood hunched over a tabletop LCD display of the world, a stylus between her fingers as she poked the display zooming in to areas around the globe.

X-E Box 23: Advent-urers Assemble

15 November, 2008 (16:49) | Christmas, Seasonal, Stories | By: Guise Dugal

Firstly, Dio, don’t kill me. I swear, there’s no way you’d corrupt Lucas, you wuv him far too much, I know. Second, sorry if I missed anyone. Thirdly, sorry if I characterised badly. Fourthly, Bill, it was too hard not to make Veggie Macabre a voodoo superhero. Fifthly, I’ve had too much caffeine today. Sixthly, [...]

Christmas IS Coming…

15 November, 2008 (14:37) | Christmas, Seasonal | By: Guise Dugal

We’re only just over Halloween and it seems that Christmas wasn’t just trying to leapfrog over Halloween during it’s special time, but it had actually been sneaking around when Halloween wasn’t looking and moving all it’s stuff in. Christmas is now closing in fast and I would complain had I not realised ‘holy crap, we’re [...]

My Two Front Teeth…

25 December, 2007 (22:47) | Christmas, Television, Toys | By: Guise Dugal

Bow down, bow down
before the power of Santa
Or be crushed, be crushed
by
His Jolly Boots of Doom
Santa, Invader Zim
So, Christmas Day is drawing to a close. Presents have been had, food has been cooked and consumed, and I’m actually now eager for another Christmas next year – this is something that rarely happens. I am, actually, [...]

He’s Checking It Twice…

24 December, 2007 (14:30) | Christmas | By: Guise Dugal

You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
But if someone’s climbing down your chimney
You better load your gun and shoot to kill
Christmas at Ground Zero, Weird Al Yankovic
Less than 12 hours to go until the fat man is due to make his rounds and I’m prepped and ready. By my [...]

Christmas Is Coming…

16 December, 2007 (16:57) | Christmas | By: Guise Dugal

I have a dream today, my friends
That before this Christmas ends
A big Santa’s sack of love I’ll bring
And we’ll unite the whole world through,
Yes, ven Belgians too
And we’ll all stand together and sing…
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus, Max Headroom
So, I haven’t been around much, but I can’t not mention Christmas.It’s been a tight one this year, [...]

The Best Laid Plans…

6 January, 2007 (22:47) | Christmas, Toys | By: Guise Dugal

I wanted a giant war death peace-keeping robot. I wanted one bad. I wanted one so bad that I placed an order with Amazon to get my hands on the LEGO Exo-Force “Striking Venom” mecha.
I thought maybe it could take pride of place on my newly cleaned desk at home, a sort of remember you [...]

The Fat Man Leaveth…

25 December, 2006 (23:08) | Christmas | By: Guise Dugal

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing “Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

Got up early, around about 07.00 and clambered out of bed. Well, clambered is a bit strong aword, it was more like the movement of tectonic plates.
Twas the morning of Christmas, and [...]
