I got a new watch! It is made of shiny and awesome:
For Hallowe’en, I made a bunch of Mud ‘n’ Blood cupcakes for a Scarefest film festival at our house. I think we’ve just about finished eating them all, so thought I’d post a few pictures and the recipe. Boom.
Last night’s Diamond Cottage Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest was smashing, and there were some gloriously-carved pumpkins. Here’s a few of my photos. Yay!
I guess it’s been a while since my last non-review post, so let’s get to it. What’s been occurring? Well, this and that.
A few shots from yesterday’s ILMC/LMS race at Silverstone:
So, it’s 9pm and I’m at work (ish) in the office while watching F1 videos on YouTube. It’s becoming a pretty standard feeling of late, especially since we don’t have any int4rwebs hooked up in our new flat yet, so coming to the office of an evening to catch up online whilst gently shunting paper around my desk is one way to get my daily fill of random crap on the net.
Okay, so I have a new blog now. The whole LiveJournal thing took a downturn about two or three years ago, and I kind of stopped posting things on there. Then I started using Twitter, and all the kind of random bullshit I used to send to my blog would kind of just get dumped there.
I did keep up using it for a few things (notably the few video game reviews I did around a year or so ago and for dumping photos from Flickr or something) but generally it got to be like the bottom of the garden that’s gotten over-run with weeds, and you venture down there with a strimmer a couple of times a year to hack away at the overgrowth only to find that there’s some sort of many-tentacled monster living in it that’s a little annoyed you woke it up. Plus the fact that my posts are getting spam comments, like, once a day and even logging onto LiveJournal requires grabbing a machete and slashing your way through a jungle’s-worth of adverts, the biscuit had definitely been taken.
So, things start once again over on glorious WordPress, which I’ve been putting off for a while but have finally managed to summon the effort to get up-and-running. I don’t really know what’s going to go here yet, and I haven’t even figured out how the site’s going to look, but I thought it was a good idea to get something down on (sic) paper here so I can’t put it off everything else I do. Wish me luck.
