My name is Phil Sullivan. I start a new job and and my birthday is on the same day. This will be the longest day of my life. I knew that I was going to start early the next day, but in an effort to prove to myself that turning 25 wasn't old we were […]

I should really start by explaining my lack of updates lately. You see, over the past couple of weeks while Cal has been working I've been trying to sort out my own work situation. I've had a very solid offer (I think) with that Ninja Theory company which I'll probably accept, but they've been sorta […]

Today the house hunt came to an end. It was not far off an epic journey with much angst in the hunt. We have taken a large room close to old st Station and angel. For the uninitiated (like us until quite recently) this is in central London also known as ZONE 1. We scored […]

Before I begin, Hoa, you really should know better than saying things like this to me: .. for one reason or another, I have this image of Phil prowling the back alleys barefoot and in a tattered t-shirt and rolled-up jeans in the middle of the night, picking fights with stray cats… I could be […]
