I'd forgotten about this little guy.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

And it worked. I've been playing around with settings and things and made myself a Flickr account to host all my photos. From now on it should send new photos here on request.

October Sunsets.

I've been busy lately. Proper busy. Not just 'I couldn't really be bothered doing anything, busy' (which is my normal state) but actually doing things and leaving the house. I've been attempting to dig myself out from under a pile of essays and math tests, and if you're been following my mindless babbling on twitter lately, you'll know I've been doing front of house mixing.
For Grease. The musical.
It wasn't as bad as I thought. But that's not what this point was meant to be about.


Today I found myself with some spare time so I'm sitting here planning out positions for lights and things in the yard for Halloween, when it occurs to me that I have no idea when it'll be dark enough to turn the lights on. But the internet knows.
www.timeanddate.com has a sunrise and sunset calculator. Choose your location from the list and it'll take you to a list of times for this week. Change your 'Modifying Parameters' to October 2009 and voila, this Halloween's sunset is predicted at 7:54pm in my state. You can also check out what the moon is up to on that date, to see if you're going to get a nice big moon hanging over your head. If you want a simpler pictoral approach, www.rodurago.net has a calendar with pictures of what phase the moon will be in on each day. As you can see, I'm getting a nice, almost full moon for Halloween.

Oh and just for funsies, I checked out what's going on in December 2012. There's no "Crashing into Earth" on either the sun or moon charts. Shame.

Little Axie

Found the original version of this in one of my pictures folders. I don't really remember taking this photo, but I remember taking the other two unfocused versions of it, so I must've. I've cropped it and changed it from colour (although there wasn't much colour to begin with) to grayscale. Otherwise it's pretty much as is. And I would ask that you don't use this image without my permission - I'm rather fond of it.

Everybody look at the moon!

This week in my family is generally referred to as 'cake week'. Thanks to 3 birthdays within 8 days and everybody wanting to celebrate, there are generally six cakes made, and mostly eaten within the space of a week.

Since I'm first (and therefore best), I decided I wanted to make a special cake. Ended up more like a 'special' cake than a special cake, but I wanted to make a cake like the moon:


Who will be familiar to anyone who's ever watched the Mighty Boosh. If you haven't, go educate yourself. If you have, good. This is what my cake ended up looking like.




It didn't turn out quite how I would have liked, but it is so hard to put eyelashes on a cake, you know?

Work Space

I was taking photos of my latest 'art piece' - a bird made out of, well, a tree - and found someone took a few photos of my making it. Which is really creepy because I don't remember anyone in the shed with me at all on Tuesday. So yeah. This is where I 'work' sometimes, but seeing as there's no internet access or mobile phone signal down there it's not often.
