Just watched the Starfleet Academy season finale. Really great. Enjoyed this whole series so far. Looking forward to Season 2!

Thanks brain, you're right - what I really needed was a super vivid nightmare about a home invasion during which I get shot in the back and have to crawl around to try and escape. Didn't fancy a good night's sleep, no.

Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

Really fun first stream back at it. Want to try and make Saturday Slam a regular streaming evening again. 7pm start worked well.

Streaming for the first time in ages! Join me for some BRAND NEW WWE2k26! www.twitch.tv/ajheretic

Everyone loves Neelix, the wacky cat-man from beyond the stars who runs the mess hall. Another fan favourite is the stoic and logical Vulcan, Tuvok - a mainstay of Janeway's bridge crew. Hear me out though - what if were to somehow combine the two of them?

I'm sure it's a good sign that 7 days into a 10 day holiday, I'm still feeling like a burnt out wreck, right?

Woken up to the news that once again, it's all kicking off. What a nightmare.

Home now from possibly my least successful short London excursion ever. Chaos on the trains on the way up meant I didn't have time to go to the museum I wanted; I fell asleep and missed the gig I had tickets to, then today my train home was chaos also. Did manage 90mins in the museum today though.

This week's episode of Starfleet Academy - 10/10. No notes.

Happy Valentines Day! If you don't have a Valentine, STAY IN LINE!!

Wouldn't happen to me. I'm built different.

My take on Arjac Rockfist of the Space Wolves. Really liking the darker grey mix that I've come up with for the main armour colour.

Really having trouble getting my brain into a creative gear these days. Also, i'm not sleeping properly, everything outside is only getting worse, and I need a hug. There's your weekly AJ Update.

Assembled the new set of Titus and his Ultramar buddies tonight.

Shit's fucked and only getting more fucked every day.

An evening of catching up on shows. 3 episodes in and i'm enjoying Starfleet Academy. Apparantly I never watched the last episode of Strange New Worlds season 3, so finally did that. Good stuff. Also finally got around to finishing off season 3 of Legend Of Vox Machina. Really great.

Once again snubbed by the Oscars. Fucking ridiculous.

Right, probably ought to finish off editing that podcast I meant to release on November 27th.

Tied and bound with duct tape, wheeled slowly into the river in a weighted shopping trolley by a shadowy cabal of disgruntled supermarket workers, who didn't appreciate the wild looks of longing I was giving the cheese at the deli counter.

Really enjoyed the first episode of Starfleet Academy.

Been working on this Space Wolves dude tonight. Still needs a bit of tidying up, but i'm pleased with the progress. Trying out a slightly darker grey than the usual 40K Wolves scheme for the armour. Happy with how it's turning out.

tip of the cap to everyone keeping today holy

Might fuck around and have a shower at 2am.

2nd walking vlog should be going live tomorrow morning. Tune in to go on a frosty wander through Bournemouth Gardens with @monkeymagiceden.bsky.social and I, at the end of which I managed to properly tear my calf muscle while trying not to get hit by a speeding car! Watch this space for links!

Ngl, gang, 2026 fucking sucks so far. Having a bad time.

Resharing for the daytime. Probably going to be filming more of these, hopefully with less injuries! Check it out!

I went for a walk. I hurt my leg. I filmed the whole thing. Come and join me on a hike... www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgER...

Ending the year on a high note by picking up my guitar for the first time in a couple of months, then immediately throwing my back out while bending over to adjust my effects pedals.

Hate freeloaders who join in the New Year's Eve countdown for the last 10 seconds. I've been doing this all year. Where were you back in May

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Boss: Did you get that promotional photo of Spielberg and ET??? Photographer: I sure did boss... Real sexy just like you asked!

Hope everyone had a good Xmas. Just a chill one for me, and today i'm back at work.

Happy Holidays Everyone! We hope this is a restful and fun end to the year for all of you. We're thankful to everyone who has tuned in to the podcast throughout 2025, and look forward to returning with new episodes in the new year! See you in 2026! 🥳 🎄🎆

Nice time last night, checking out the Bournemouth Christmas lights.

[Nancy Sinatra voice] Are you ready, butt? Start poopin'!

This has been a weird month. A combination of a bad insomnia, and being completely shattered from work. I've done basically nothing except work and stare at my PC screen, with occasional attempts at sleep. Nothing creative at all. No podcast, no painting, no guitar. Absolutely fried, brain-wise. 😖

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Met with a chorus of Boos as I leave the house in shorts, once again, despite it being December. Keep crying, losers.

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

Hey folks, apologies about Episode 150's lateness again. Pushing it back by only a week for Dragonmeet was optimistic, given that I would be in London for 4 of the 7 days. At this point, I will just say thanks for your patience, and that the episode will be live at some point Soon™️ Basically -

Finally home after another fun Dragonmeet weekend. Again, a big thanks to everyone who came and saw us during the con, and a HUGE thanks to @podcastzoneuk.bsky.social for having us once again. Right back to it though - Episode 150! Thursday! Watch This Space for links! 🖖☺️

We had a fun time today at Dragonmeet in the @podcastzoneuk.bsky.social! Cheers to everyone who came along to see us! See you all again next year, yeah? 😊

A super flattering photo of me waiting for a train.
