That's right, Alex's Review Corner is going MIA for an indeterminable amount of time. The reason? I am becoming a father this month. Yay, right? Me and my partner are having a little boy join us and have a lot ahead of us in his wake. Who knows what terror he will wreak upon us... Continue Reading →
To Build A Fire
Back when I was doing Blaugust I said in my review of Jennette McCurdy's I'm Glad My Mom Died that I really wanted to get back into reading. And while her book did absorb my life for the duration of time it took me to read it, afterwards I just sort of didn't read anything... Continue Reading →
“It’s Not Tolkien”
No, it's not. But that comes with the territory. Yes I'm talking about Amazon's Rings of Power TV show and the critisisms of it's lore breaking and general willingness to make change/unwillingness to be a direct adaptation of lore. This critisism online has circulated as the phrase "it's not Tolkein." To be clear this post... Continue Reading →
Alex’s Guide to Reviewing Stuff
It's not that common of an occurrence, but when it does come up that I write reviews on my corner of the internet I'm sometimes met with the question of 'how do you do it'? It's a bit odd because it's not like I'm ending world hunger, but the question is phrased and inflated in... Continue Reading →
September 2022 Review – My Country Went Mad
So in the UK this month we're doing that thing where we say things are fine, when they most certainly are not fine. And it all started with the Queen's death. I talked at length already about how exhausting and silly the news coverage of her death was, but the one bit I was actually... Continue Reading →
The Queen Died and the News Made it a Comedy
When Queenie was taken into care at Balmoral Castle, I was sat in the breakroom at work with my colleagues and all the chat was about whether or not we'd get a day off for the funeral (we will). The consensus at the time was that we'd all like one, but our luck would be... Continue Reading →
August 2022 Review – Blaugust Comes to an End
This month I participated in Blaugust; a challenge where I had to do daily uploads of posts. And all was well until about halfway through the month when I realised my backlog had finally been exhausted. Writing daily posts wasn't the slog I thought it would be, but editing them sure as hell was and... Continue Reading →
I’m Glad My Mom Died – Special Book Review
It's been a recurring desire of mine to get back into reading books and I just never find myself doing so. Mostly from a lack of trying. But when Jennette McCurdy announced she was releasing a memoir of her life so far, I was immediately interested. I first heard of her when I was a... Continue Reading →
A Footnote on Devil Corps
So at the start of this year I got suckered into working for the fakest of fake companies that dare try to pass as a company. It was a Devil Corp. If you want to know more about them and have some context for what this post is about, then I recommend reading about my... Continue Reading →
