Hey there Kieran from 2021...

So Chloe and me have been sitting watching LOOOOADS of Scrubs, hence the Dr Cox like extended vowels.

Well J.D. just hit his 30th birthday and had a list of things he wanted to have accomplished by the time he hit that age. So here's ours.


  1. Have a kid! You know you're going to be awesome at having Kids
  2. You just decided to put the wedding back a year, this ones just in case you keep putting it back, just get that 2nd ring on her. Remember PRE-NUPS ARE FOR PUSSIES.
  3. I want you to be working in the media industry somewhere. I just finished stressing `over that fucking 2nd year graded unit, and I'm pretty sure that's where some of your greys came from, so make it worth it.
  4. Lose some weight! If you're going to have kids, you wanna see them get old....plus I'm pretty sure Chloe would kill you if you died younger than 50...well bring me back to life then kill us again.
  5. Learn an instrument properly, you deserve it.
  6. Oh yeah finish writing a movie.
  7. And now, aim to have a chat show for 40! Craig Ferguson would like it.
  8. Shit I almost forgot, go see a live SModco show, they are HILARIOUS!!
Now, I believe that's enough. Hopefully you'll have done a few of them, and if you and Chloe have had "differences" I hope mentioning her in this doesn't bug you.

And if anyone else is reading this, have you got anything you want accomplished by the next big miles stone in your life? Let me know in the Comments or tweet me!

She's coming with me...

I was unexpectedly busy on Thursday, which is my usual day that I visit the comic book shop, so I'm going tomorrow instead.

The thing is, my girl's coming with me!

Now she isn't a fan of this genre of entertainment and normally can't stand to be in the shop for more than 5 minutes.

She has however said we can stay as long as I want to tomorrow, so you never know, I might find her something that could change her outlook on the situation!

Any of you guys got an other half who isn't into what you're into? Lemme know on twitter or in the comments below!!

Graded Unit yo!

Thats it! It's done! I did my graded unit for college!

I think it went pretty well, not as well as I hoped but still pretty good.

The best thing though, I enjoyed doing it! It did come across more like a podcast, but then again I really enjoy podcasting.

So here's a link guys, let me know what you think!

WTK!?

Just because I can....

So I'm writing this post on my phone.

 I know it doesn't sound spectacular, but I've never done it before so I decided to go for it.

 I don't have much to say, as I'm saving all the good stuff for my next proper post.

That being said, I'll be posting that later in the week!

Harley Quinn Review: 3

Well, it's like I warned you guys, if you didn't tell me if the last review sucked, I would just end up doing another one. So here we go!

Issue 3

Issue 3 has a a cover that...I really can't find the words to explain, so here it is.


Like I said, how do you describe this!? I love it! But...I can't put my finger on why. I think its because of how contradicting it is. It also shows both of the sides of Harley that this comic is trying to put across. It shows her manic, psychotic side, but it also shows that at the end of the Harley is still just a girl who wants some love.

The comic focuses on how Valentines day get Harley down cause she's feeling alone. Luckily however, her dear friend Poison Ivy left her a little gift on her recent visit. She has left Harley a plant that produces berries that cause any man in her vicinity to fall head over heels for her and she is chased all over the city by men. 

The comic is a fun read, especially for the time of year it came out, but it doesn't really effect the story in a major way, kinda the same why episodes like The lodger didn't effect season 5 of Doctor Who.

WTK rates this: 4/5

Wait a minute....

Frozen? Already!?

What the Kieran!?

Isn't it a bit soon??

For those who haven't guest what I'm talking about, the TV show Once Upon a Time, has introduced what....and I can't even joke about this, can only be described at Elsa from Frozen.



I get that Frozen is HUGE right now, and quite a lot of the characters in OUAT are based on Disney counter parts but it seems like she has just been thrown in there to create a viewership spike.

She is being introduced as the "Big Bad" for the next season of OUAT. But I can't think why! Sure Frozen is big right now, but come the start of season four, will it still be as big?


What are your thoughts?

Lemme know in the comments, tweet me!

Harley Quinn review: 0-2

So I'm going to take a crack at reviewing, so you guys really need to let me know if you don't like it....otherwise I will probably just keep doing it.

Since it is going to be my first review, I thought I would do my first proper monthly comic collection......
So I was out in Edinburgh shopping one day with my dear other half and, of course I felt it necessary to pop into Forbidden Planet, previously the only place I knew of where I could get a fix when I got "dat ole junky geek itch". So I was looking through the racks, and to be honest I never usually buy anything, cause I always found it hard to jump into the collecters world, just in case I couldn't keep up with the issues, or it was the middle of a massive plot line and so on. So I would normally grab them when they came out in graphic novel volumes. 

Then I saw Harley. Issue's 0 and 1 on the shelf and I thought amazing! It was my way in, it was the start of a storyline and I could possibly even collect the whole set!

Anyway, now onto the review!!

Issue 0

I got the standard cover for issue 0....

                                                                                                           ........which as you can see is fairly attention grabbing. I loved how it referenced where Harley has come from, without having to scream about it too loudly. It also introduces the comedic, light hearted element that the comic has in the very first speech bubble. The issue itself contains severally Harley "shorts", where several different artists have their way with her.

Overall it was a brilliant introduction to a fantastic new book series and made sure the readers would come back for more

WTK rates it: 5/5


Issue 1

Issue one almost feels like the second act in an origins movie. Mainly because Harley's origins don't need to be addressed, however she has been moved to a new city, been given a place to run and live. By run I'm talking about how the ground floor is a Freak show attraction and one of the floors has 8 different apartments. Making her Landlady of course. Then she finds out that she need to get A JOB!! Like a real one! Which almost makes it feel like Ally McBeal, I think...I've never watched it, however from what I've gathered it's about a woman trying to make it in the big city on her own and such. 
The humour in issue is what drives it for me personally and then the big reveal at the end gives the book it's edge.

Overall a fun read and a great way to get the reader settled into what the future of the book will be about.

WTK rates it: 3.5/5


Issue 2

This one almost stopped my heart when I opened the book...

I'll just let that sink in for a minute...done? Good.
But yeah I know! Joker was shown, with his face!! It is coloured in the actual issue, it also turns out that this Joker is made of wax and is part of an attraction on the ground floor of Harley's building. The main plot point of issue 2 surrounds Harley deciding to house a mass of animals that were due to be "put to sleep". Then we also have a fantastic cameo from Poison Ivy!

Overall the issue was an enjoyable read, and I loved them showing Harley and Ivy's relationship.

WTK rates it: 4/5



Well guys, I'm going to cut this one here, and I'll review issues 3 and 4 this weekend.
Let me know what you think! Have I wrote too much? Too little? A lot a rubbish?
Leave a comment or send me a tweet! I'm actually nice.

Trust me I'm full of excuses...

I want to say sorry for not writing nearly as much as I should on this guys. It's getting to the end of the year for my college course so I've been focusing on that a fair bit. I've also got work and I'm still attempting to write my movie.

Buuuut keep your eyes peeled for Thursday!.....or possibly Friday depending on how I feel, as I will be doing my review of the first 5 issues of Batman Eternal!

So there you have it folks, short and sweet!

Oh, and I've been planning on making my blog look nice as well, cause...well...it looks kinda boring don't you think?

So if you have any suggestions leave me a comment OR send me a Tweet!
