It's been nearly a week since I last posted. Not a lot has happened.

Notable things:
I bought a new media shelf unit for holding DVDs. I put it together and realized it's a large black rectangle that looks close to having its sides be a 1:4:9 ratio, though I haven't measured to be sure. (On closer inspection and measurement, it's closer to 1:3: ( Read more... )

So .. I didn't get as much writing done as I meant. I was up until after 3, but still woke up just after nine ( Read more... )

Just got home from a Halloween / Birthday party at madscience's place.

They have a nice place for a party, with a huge back yard. They had a couple of fire places on the lawn ... not really more sophisticated than half a 55 gallon drum with holes cut in the sides.

To start things off on a ... different note, here's Weebl. He's bringing pastry back. With style.

It feels like I didn't do anything today, but I did a fair bit, actually, for having woken up at half past noon.

I caught up on Torchwood and spent far more time than I should have on weebls-stuff.com. I blame lord_kage, since the whole reason I went to ( Read more... )
