In a galaxy far far away is a little community of friends that have one main common interest. Comics! Many moons ago we all met through the now defunct messageboard of Joe Quesada (EIC of Marvel) and from that branched out to form our own little private board called Bad Genious (yes it is spelt wrong but there is a reason behind that). Over the years we have all become very close friends that regularly meet up, have attended the wedding of two of the members, to just simply being there for each other. Throughout this all we have debated, discussed, laughed, loved, cried (well maybe not so much of this) and a whole range more emotions over the world of comics. And from all this has been born a new life a new blogging life, The Bad Genious Blog
I think our main creator ( The General ) sums it up well when he describes who we at the Bad Genious Blog are
So dear Oblelites I have a spare few moments and thought I'd update about life in the White House. Things are still hectic, but then that's pretty normal life for a SAHM I hear. We are well and truly settled in our new home, can't believe it's 4 months nearly since we moved in. The time has flown by. We've spent a good part of it in our new garden, working on it, trying to make it more than just a bit of grass and concrete. We now have a flowerbed with an array of different plants, trees, flowers, bushes etc in it and more to come! We have a goal post for those all important family get togethers, a tippee for Callum to picnic in, a slide for the cars to zoom down, a patio set and a PINK BBQ! Yes PINK!!!! Oh and a couple of huge paddling pools and some planters. There is still lots more that needs doing but we're getting there and it's good enough to leave now and get started on the front garden and inside the house. I'm trying to persuade our Landlord aka Daz to let us do a deal with rent and a new kitchen. The current kitchen desperately needs work doing to it but Landlordaddy is a little reluctant, I'm sure we can wear him down though. Nothing else really needs much doing in the house, just a few licks of paint and new flooring in the bathroom and that's it really.
So how are Daz, Callum and I? We're great! I think Daz enjoys being closer to work so he gets more time at home with us and added bonus now we can all get the bus together in the morning! Why? Well at long last we got Callum into a school in the borough. It's still a 2 bus ride journey but if the buses run on time it's only a 30 minute journey. The school is still being built so it only has the Nursery and Reception years there but that's still a lot of kids and they are all in a temporary building. Callum seems to like his new school although it is very different from his old school and there seem to sadly be a few language barriers but we'll get pass all that. For the time being it will do and we are still on the waiting lists for the schools that we can walk to. It's great though all being able to get the bus together in the morning and on the way home from school Callum and I walk pass Daz' office so if we have time we pop in and see him and if not it's a hurried wave as we run past to get our bus home
Kids are such wonderful funny creatures. A few months ago Callum saw Peter Pan for the first time. He spent the next couple weeks going round singing Never Smile At A Crocodile and calling Daz Tinkerbell and me Captain Hook, well untill Daz put him in his place and I (quite rightly) became Tinkerbell. Then leading up to Christmas he became enamoured by Dr Who, mostly down to the fact that his cousin Alex is mad about Dr Who. One day we were in Woolworths and Callum saw a black Dalek costume and asked for it. I suggested he wait a little while until after Christmas and we'd see if it would be in the sale because jeez louise those things are costly! Much to Callum's delight a couple weeks into the New Year and we found one, this time a brown/gold one, in the slaes for ÃÂÃÂÃÂã8! Bargain! It seemed that Callum's phase of the builder, policeman, fireman costume had gone to the next level... and the more expensive level. But hey he had fun showing the Dalek to his cousin Alex who has a Cyberman costume and they caused havoc together.
Now we come to Friday just gone. It was the last day of half term and we decided to go and visit Daz at work, from the new house it's a ten minute bus ride and there are plenty of shops in Ilford. Callum was over the moon to be going to see Daddy at work and added bonus that Grandad "Grumps" Steve worked there too. After a while of Callum terrorizing, hell who am I kidding, wooing over more like, the girls at the office I took Callum off to look in Woolworths at the toys. At the top of the escalators, before we get to the cars there are the dress up costumes. Callum asks is we can look and asks for a Power Rangers costume, but he's on a Power Rangers ban at the moment so I said no. Then the two of us at the same time spied the Peter Pan costume. It was a must
So we've moved and settled in nicely. That up above is the new White House, needs a bit of cleaning and painting doing but it's our home for at least the next year and hopefully maybe longer
At the moment every day Callum asks if it's going to be Christmas tomorrow. He's really getting in the spirit of it. Here's a clip of one such way. Hope you enjoy.

Wow I can't believe how long ago it was that I got to post here and this is only going to be be a quickie post.
So much has been happening. Most importantly though is that that little monkey monster of mine, yes that's Callum, has at long last started school. It was his first day last week, well I say day it was a half day and he still is doing half days for the rest of this week, all of next week and then hopefully after that he will be going full time. Yay!! I think
