Man, what the hell am I doing sitting around by myself, watching Manowar music videos on Youtube? And then blogging about it? Also, seriously, Manowar? None more metal. None more gay. Perhaps New Zealand needs a Manowar tribute band. I can’t be in it, I’m way too fat.…
So it looks like various rights holders to The Hobbit would like for Peter Jackson to film it after all. That’s a shame. Because I was thinking, when it looked like he wasn’t going to be the guy for the job, that there’s an obvious replacement to…

I was woken up at some ungodly hour this morning by, of all things, a bailiff of the court wanting to see me. I mean, what? A BAILIFF? I was totally flashing back to my mid-20’s at this point.[1] Turns out that he was here to either clamp…
