    One of the Greats of modern Science Fiction/Horror Art has passed away; As a result of a fall, H.R. Giger has departed us - May he Rest In Piece, whatever plain he now exists on.

    A friend just texted me about this. Very sad as he was so influential in the horror/Sci-fi field. I have a game that was made from his art work called Dark Seed.

    I re-watched 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' after Bob Hoskins died last week. Might be a good reason to break out 'Alien'. RIP.

    That's sad I was just watching Aliens 2 nights ago, one of my all-time favourite movies.

    First coat of paint is on the walls in what is to become the nursery. Man I hate paint fumes. I feel a headache brewing and I have a feeling it won't hit until tonight. Second coat goes on tomorrow.

    Who would be a painter? It's got to be the crappest trade ever. Imagine if your work life consisted of inhaling paint fumes and painting walls Every. Single. Day. For 40 years.

    I'd be looking for a noose.

    Spent over $300 at Toyworld today......Go to pay and not even a 'Hi, how are you?' Or even a 'Thank you' at the end. So rude.

    The same goes with stock knowledge too.

    In Australia
    "When will you be getting more Transformers?"
    "I'm sorry, we don't know."


    In Japan
    "When will you be getting more Transformers?"
    "Sunday 12:00."

    We went to the US recently and shocked at how good the customer service was - I guess it shows the difference between staff who are happy to have a job and the entitled ones (australia).
