Star Wars Stamps to be released October 20th in the UK

The Royal mail has released a bunch of Star Wars stamps. This issue celebrates Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the role that Britain’s world-leading film industry has played. This is pretty cool and I am sure that they will sell a lot of these stamps.  

From all of these Kylo Ren is my favorite character

Sorry to inform you, zombie series Fear the Walking Dead won't make it past the first season

I just started to watch the new series Fear the Walking Dead on AMC. Some people said the first episode was slow, I liked it and can't wait for the rest of the episodes. This is the first tv show I am watching on network tv in a long time. Most of the series I watch are on HBO and Showtime. The reason I mostly watch HBO and Showtime is because no matter what show I pick on non premium tv tv it gets cancelled the same season I start watching it.
Here is a list of the shows I started to watch only to have them being cancelled

The Street
Jericho
The Event
Almost Human
Helix

Jericho is probably my favorite of that list, the network actually did create 6 or so more episodes to finish the story after an uproar by fans


But all is not lost, Vikings another show I watch, is still going strong and a new season will be on tv sometimes this winter

So hopefully Fear the Walking Dead will turn out to be good and we will have many seasons ahead like Vikings instead of The Event.....

What is your prediction...will Fear the Walking Dead make it or not?

Game Of thrones Season 3 is almost here. trailer released

Season 3 of games of thrones is almost here
Here is how long it will take before the first episode starts

COUNTDOWN WIDGETS

I think book 3 is the best book out of the 5 that have been published so far. Without spoiling anything I am glad that one person gets his due, another person is totally awesome in this book. I actually will reread book 3 again, I will start on March 15th or so. I read all 5 books and don't exactly remember what exactly happens in book 3 since I am starting to mix events from later books. Before the show starts I just want to read it again so that I can compare the visuals from the HBO series with the book which then should be fresh in my mind
Here is the trailer, enjoy, this season should be great

Getting rid of sensitive information

After breaking several shredders over the years I decided there must be a better way to 'shred' sensitive information. Today I decided to use my fireplace instead. Warms up the house and also gets rid of stuff I don't want people to see since they can use it to steal my identity
