The life of a freelance journalist is nothing if not eventful, assuming you take “eventful” to mean “largely comprised of sitting at home in your bedclothes”. Sometimes, however, you get to do something you actually like, for free. Case in point: I just got back from a Scott Pilgrim press screening.

I imagine I’ll be reviewing the movie properly somewhere, so I won’t go into too much detail right now, but let me repeat what I said on Twitter: you will not be disappointed. Unless you have never played a computer game, in which case, don’t waste your money because it won’t make sense anyway.

Right, now the small talk’s out of the way, I would like to also mention that I am very pleased to be taking on a new 2-page preview slot in Comic Heroes Magazine, looking at the big comicbook and graphic novel releases for the coming quarter. The first instalment will be appearing in issue #3, out mid-September, and unless I make some colossal faux pas, it should be in every subsequent issue thereof. Ooh, look at that, it’s almost like this is my career or something!

Did that sound natural? I’m not very good at self-promotion, unfortunately. It would probably help if I didn’t draw so much attention to it, wouldn’t it? I’ll try and remember that next time.
