Birthday Art Challenge 2016 - Things With Faces
Sorry LJ-only people, I have been harsh on you. This is super late, because my birthday is next week. FB people got an early heads-up. Perhaps I need to have some better system. Anyhoo!
The Short Story: Draw inanimate objects with faces, etc.!
The Long Story: I'm sort of a grown-up. Sort of. I have most of the things that I want, and because of ( Read more... ) -

Birthday Art Challenge 2015 - Super-Dinos
The Short Story: Draw dinosaurs as superheroes!
The Long Story: There’s no getting away from the fact that I’m a “grown-up” - except by putting scare quotes around it and making light of the fact, of course. For this reason I have most of the things that I want, and because of this and the fact that I’m no fan of cards, for my last 5 birthdays I've ( Read more... ) -
Birthday Art Challenge 2014 - A Hitchhiking Birthday

NaNoWriMo
Hit 50,000 this morning - now I think I will slow down a touch, but aim for doing at least the minimum suggested (1667) every day until the end. Didn't get into MoD2 (boo), but was surprisingly pleased to see the Italian cover of MoD1 (my story in Italian?: "Disperazione"). -
Faux-dax
Last wednesday, damerell and I went for a little jaunt around London, following the route of the 100 km London Sightseer Audax. We'd missed the official one, but both being men of leisure, I persuaded him that we weren't bound by such things as weekends or official dates, and since he had a set of directions from a previous trip, we decided that we could ( Read more... ) -
Feats of strength and endurance
