I had intended to pop this up yesterday but I ran around like a (cool, calm, collected) headless chicken for most of the day...

Normally the weekends seem to fly by in a blur of washing, housework and stuff, hunt'n 'n' gather'n, pandering to the cats' demands and laying about in front of the TV alternating between Nigella Lawson and Jean Luc Picard ( Read more... )

So I'm coming across some pretty fun and inventive pieces of artwork inspired by all manner of things geek-in-nature. So thought I'd share them as I go.

Well considering the amount of time I've put into MMORPG Champions Online over the festive period, I'm surprised it hasn't cropped up in my posts more often. To cut a long story short, think World of Warcraft with spandex, capes and laser beam eyes - naturally it appeals to my inner geek-child. Yes yes, I know, who would ( Read more... )

As requested, here's the before pic of my character on CoH.
