Inspired by the phrase “Drat, I’m secretly a Timelord” comes this cloche mod. Not much; just a $5 cloche from K-mart (black, wool felt), with the band replaced with ribbon, embroidery around the flower thing, and a watchface added to the center of the flower. It ticks. It amuses me. Yes; I need a better camera.

Finally done with the headphone mod (I think).
Internet

Due to outside circumstances, I’ve lost internet and phone for a while, so I won’t be online as much until I get things sorted out. Until then, if you want to know what’s up, please check my TWITTER FEED.
Just a quick update

Working on setting up the Godcraft Blog for Kat and I, sorting out notes for it, and for Trader between doing a massive amount of homework and actual work, and realizing I did dishes for nearly 30 hours this week. Wow.
Save a greenhouse, kill a tree

According to NPR, Vienna’s beloved “Sisi Palm,” a 170-year-old Chinese Fan palm named after the late Austro-Hungarian Empress Elisabeth, will be chopped down next month.
The NY Times had a more in depth article here, citing some of the plant’s history. And here’s a picture of the massive tree’s silhouette from Yahoo News. According to the media, the tree must be chopped down before it breaks free of the confines of the greenhouse, thus destroying it with it’s geriatric tree might.
Ominous Names, Spongey Brains
January 12, 2008 at 3:11 pm (Research, Still Life with Beating Hearts, rambling)
Trying to hunt down names for the characters in a projet I’m working on. Got the character’s image in my mind, along with their personalities, and voice, but no names. Gofig; I usually work in reverse, starting with the name…Sometimes when writing I feel like it’s more of a puzzle I’m completing, an image rather than a collection of words.
I’m also trying to hunt down images of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD) and Kuru in the human brain… and rather lacking; I’ve got a few low-res MRI images, some cellular slides, but what I’m trying to hunt down right now is a side-view, hopefully with comparison to a normal brain.

Indy!

Just happened to be catching up on the blogosphere, and saw THIS at posterwire; an Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull poster post. Mmm. Indy. Though one thing bugs me- is it just me or does the ominous skull in the background lack a propper nose?
I’ve been a fan of Indiana Jones for a while, and I’m not sure if I’m more fearful, anxious or excited about the upcomming movie. The Indiana Jones movies were a large part of my childhood, and it’ll be interesting to see how the new movie shapes up, compared to my childhood recollections.
Warren Ellis’ 4am

Warren Ellis’ 4am is an eclectic mix of stuff that gets sent his way that he doesn’t hate. I’m inclined to agree with most of his taste; it makes decent background music for creating random things, and it’s stuff I wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to. I first downloaded it as a lark (around no 4 or 5, I think), and was pleasantly surprised, and now find that waiting for the next one’s become part of my Internet routine.
Dude, where’s my photos?

Corporations snag photos from Google and other internet sources and use them without credit or permission. Ouch.
Happy Hands

My hands, wrists and elbows are finally happy again.
I plan on drawing tomarrow until my eyes cross, and it will be WONDERFUL.
