Welcome to 2020
Ugh I know I’ve been missing in action. I kind of ran out of steam at the end of last year the day job really took over and there were some pesky life moments getting in the way of editing podcasts and making this blog as interesting as it could be. So a quick round up. For the first time in forever I did not complete my Good Reads Challenge and, you know what I’m not going to beat myself up over it. It was a large number, I read very few comics and my personal life had a lot going on. This year I’m making some exciting reads…

Shadowrun Character History
I was born in Cuba back near the start of the century when the world was just starting to turn properly to caca for most.

Playing in the Dark
Neil Gaiman at the Barbican was quite magical. The concert opened with the BBC Symphony Orchestra playing The Sourcerer’s Apprentice and I can think of no better way to set the tone for an evening. Neil then appeared and read short stories and poems and sections from his novels. Amanda Palmer read a poem of his called the Mushroom hunters which was one of the highlights of the evening as far as I am concerned we were also treated to the Lord Chancellor’s Nightmare Song from Iolanthe which is a real treat if you have never heard it before. The second half opened with one of my favourite pieces of…
