Who in the hell gave the go-ahead to shorten the week? I mean, how is it possibly Thursday night already?

I've been catching up on a lot of the following:

1. Scanning sets
2. Overdue Holga Customs
3. Emails (both work and for friends)
4. Prepping
5. Reading

And I just can't believe it's almost the weekend already.

So, as I have nothing much to report (except what I have listed in... well, list form) here is what I have been looking at on the internet in the last few weeks:

Comics

COCO WANG:
5.12 EARTHQUAKE STRIPS
- read the intro here. There is nothing like someone portraying heartbreaking reality to give yourself some perspective. Warning: you will cry.

Penny Arcade: The Unhorse
- I have read and adored Penny Arcade for many years. This is a recent one that gave me the giggles. Warning: Penny Arcade is mostly video game humour or in-jokes.

xkcd - Forks and Spoons
- another old favourite of mine. This one was particularly funny and probably one of the least "geeky". Warning: xkcd is full of nerdy nerdy humour.

exploding dog - sleeping to dream about you
- I'm pretty sure everyone around here has heard of exploding dog by now. This one was on my desktop for a while, it sums me up. Warning: If you haven't seen exploding dog before, prepare to waste some time going through the archives.

Blogs:

crush.the.red
- our own Vermelho's neatly organised pile of thoughts

http://www.treehugger.com/
- stay ahead of the game

http://www.allthingscupcake.com/
- it is really interesting to me how trends take over the universe. currently it seems to be cupcakes.

Photos

Lou O'Bedlam
- one of my favourite portrait photographers. He recently photographed Zoetica too.

Garage Flower
- John is an English man in Russia. He has a really unique and experimental look on his world. He professes he is just "learning" but he has an eye most would be jealous of.

I read another book this week. This one was called Un Lun Dun by China Miville, I really want to talk about it but every time I come to my journal to write about a book I've read I feel like I am saying the same things over and over with the same terrible adjectives and the same awe I have of any book I fall in love with.

So, I am not really sure what to say about it, other than - read it. It's a modernised, Londonised take on stories like Alice in Wonderland - fantastical and improbable worlds of mischief. It's truly a masterpiece, too, not just some half-arsed derivative like so many books are of similar genres.

Did I mention, that time is moving too fast for me lately? Well, it is.







I thought you might be interested to see my sets as they go into member review, so I am simply going to list them here. I am getting more and more in there I have shot on film, and I know some of you are keen on those.
