About me
Welcome to the my world of delusions

This is a personal blog, for my own entertainment; this is a blog for friends, for me to air my ego; this is a blog for family so I don't have to write emails; this is a blog for everyone else just because I'm that brilliant.

On the Internet

Stalk me on Twitter. It's what its there for...

Cinecism - film blog. Not as often updated as I'd like, but still a great read.

Malcassairo - Doctor Who blog. Recommended for people who know what a tissue compression eliminator is.

1001 Books to Read before you Die - updated as I read them, which is slowly.


The weblog of Dorian Gray - I collect copies of this book, and this journal logs my collection (currently have 37+)

Translating the Silmarillion into Latin - exactly what it says on the box

My deviantart account - for all my doodles and drawings.

My favourite films list - subject to frequent and drastic change

My filmwatching checklist - all those films I should have seen and, well, haven't...


My blogging archipelego

Kiddlypop Avenue - green and pleasant byway on the southwest coast of Arcadia, this is the blog of Aurinko, my bear. You can also follow Aurinko on Twitter.

Ogygia Welcomes You - an island slightly east of Arcadia, which can be reached by a causeway at low tide. Along with its twin island Fruits of Ogygia, famed for it's unpolluted greenery and well preserved ecosystem.

James O'Malley, Living Legend - allied state of Arcadia, good for politics/media stuff.

Hilarity Ensues - a movie blog, and allied state of Cinecism. Not someone I know, but we've read each other's blogs for a very long time now.
