Wednesday - Trying to Get Out of a Rut and Burnout

Happy Wednesday all! We are half way through the week!! This morning I have been lucky enough to wake up with toothache, this wasn't on my bingo card for the week. I'm hoping that some pain killers and determination will help me get through the day. ----------------------------------------------------- Recently despite having some time away from work, I have been suffering with some burnout. I also think I'm stuck in a bit of a Rut that I've been trying to claw myself out of. I always know when burnout hits when I stop with my hobbies and just sit there trapped in my phone. Which I hate for myself and anyone who has dealt with the feeling. Half finished projects sit around the house, writing projects are forgotten due to low mood imposter syndr...

Friday - Winding Down After a Long Week

Happy Friday All! We have managed to get to the end of the week! After starting my week off on a low, I'm feeling a little less blue but still tired. I'm hoping to get some good rest this weekend as well don't really have much going on. The day has been long, a lot of work done. I'm happy to be home after a long working week. Had a little fail with cooking dinner tonight. I accidentally didn't use the best tea towel for taking a tray out of the oven. I tried to push it on the side quickly, in doing so I slightly burnt my finger tips and pushed an open pack of salad leaves onto the floor. About half the bag found it's was out onto the floor so we had slightly less salad with our burger and chips tonight. I really don't help myself sometimes, even with the dyspraxia trying it best to make me fail. ...

Cloud Zombie's Film Cupboard - Ip Man

Welcome back to another round of my film cupboard reviews, if you didn't know this is where I review the large amount of films I have acquired over the years but not watched. I try to put up a post up every Wednesday about the films I have watched. Some times the films will be cinema releases and some times I did do specials depending on the films. Today it is Ip Man. Only one film this week since I have already reviewed Mad Max: Fury Road , click the link to read the review. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ip Man A semi-biographical account of Yip Man, the successful martial arts master who taught the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun to the world. - IMDB Ip Man (2008) It's been a while since I have seen a film like this and I wasn't disappointed. Donnie Yen is very impressive as the Ip Man and he shows amazing skill. The film had me glued to my seat all the throu...

Cloud Zombie's Bookshelf - 2017 Dystopia Reading Challenge - The Rain (The Rain Trilogy #1) By Joseph A. Turkot

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Rain (The Rain Trilogy #1) By Joseph A. Turkot (EBook) When I first got a copy of this book and started to read I was a little deterred at the beginning. The Rain is quite hard to get into and I forced myself to continue because the concept of the story seemed like it should be better. It is a little hard to get through the way it has been written and the lack of speech marks of other characters takes away some enjoyment for me. Some of the speech is told from the characters point of view and some is not but there is no differentiation between two kinds of dialogue. After getting over all of that it was an ok read and I will probably finish the trilogy. The story has a great concept that I love always and haven't read many weather themed post apocalyptic books. I am always happy to give a book a chance and I did enjoy it. ...

Cloud Zombie's Film Cupboard - Pacific Rim: Uprising, Sahara, Rampage

Happy Wednesday! New Year, New start for the film cupboard reviews! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pacific Rim: Uprising Jake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost, reunites with Mako Mori to lead a new generation of Jaeger pilots, including rival Lambert and 15-year-old hacker Amara, against a new Kaiju threat. - IMDB Pacific Rim: Uprising Trailer (2018) Giant Robots Punching Kiju! Pacific Rim grabbed our attention pretty well, there aren't many who can resist the pull of Robots fighting giant monsters. Nobody can pass off Indris Elba for that matter! Stepping back over to it's sequel, Pacific Rim: Uprising. From a critic point of view there are a few oops moments concerning certain plot points that would anger those who really care about the plot. It's no way near as good as it's predecessor but it still manages to be great fun. It's m ore of the same bu...

Song of The Day - Wednesday - Snow-Way!

Happy Wednesday! Another day another work day... So after the last lot of snow that has thawed, I awake to another lot of snow this morning. Again not enough to stop the trains. I left Blake in bed while I slipped down the hill to the station and the train was basically on time. -- Thankfully I am off on Friday so I only have today and Thursday to contend with work and all to do with it. I've been looking forward to this long weekend for a while, I'm not sure what we are going to do but I do know that I don't have to be at work. -- On a cool note my latest article is out on Emotionally14.com , click the link to go have a read and then maybe take a look around the site. There are plenty of great content on the site of varying genres and tastes. Even leave a few comments if you enjoy what you have read. -- I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! Thank you for reading my blog! ----------------------------------------------------------------------...

Cloud Zombie's Film Cupboard - Guardians of The Galaxy: Volume 2, Passengers, Red Planet, Bring It On, Aeon Flux, The BFG

A Very Happy Wednesday! We are back with another film cupboard review post after quite a long while. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guardians of The Galaxy: Volume 2 Set to the backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' continues the team's adventures as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill's true parentage. - IMDB GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 (2017) I was blown away by the first Guardians of The Galaxy and I wanted to watch it again as soon as it finished the first time. The sequel is no different, if not better. The story is fantastic, the cast is brilliantly cast and I would have bought another ticket to watch it as soon as it had finished. The actors have worked hard to bring their characters to life on the big screen, as well as the CGI team and it shows. These are my favourite comic book films to come out of Marvel/Disney and...

Song of The Day - Monday - The Beast From The East!

Happy Monday! A fairly chilly start to the week on this snowy Monday morning. As usual Southeastern rail are panicking at the thought of snow and then it actually happening. They were sending out messages last night about Monday evening, saying that everyone should finish their journeys home by 18:00. yeah that's not going to happen with me, I finish work at 18:00, even if I managed to leave earlier my train would not get me home by 18:00. -- The weekend consisted of films, gaming and avoiding the cold outside as much as possible. We did go out to a nearby shopping centre to buy a new computer chair as our one died a death a while ago now. I can now game, write and browse the interwebs in comfort. I also snagged some craft paper from The Range while I was there, this will be great for my junk journal. The Range is a bit like an everything shop, you can buy craft supplies, furniture of all verities, decorating supplies, garden stuff, pet supplies...etc. -- I did...
