Whoops, how did that get there?
18th November Massive massive update
weekend. Here's whats new:
my new gallery of complete Wolverine eye-candy
one for the guys...
plenty of links for fellow writers to help ease writers block
So dont say I never do anythin for ya!!!
10th
November Well I've done pretty much bugger all
this week, thanks to the bods at the Sci-Fi Channel who, to celebrate their
fifth birthday, have done an entire week of spankin programmes. I have been
glued to the Tube all week. I only have one small complaint. Where was
"Capricorn One" dudes????? And the "Philidelphia
Experiment"? And not even a hint of "The Man From Atlantis." Tsk!
But anyway, I have been inspired by my week long pulp fest to design a new
graphic for my site:
Ta Dahhhh! So you can kiss the image of the nerd goodbye. For starters, I am a girl, I don't have acne, don't wear coke bottle glasses, don't dress in black (well most of the time), can handle my liquor and I can dance. I do however, know what a Heisenberg Compensator does, own a Star Trek Encyclopaedia, have a life size cardboard standee of Bobba Fett in my house and yes, I have answered my phone with the immortal line "Operator." And yeah, OK, I shop in the Forbidden Planet. Satisfied? Just think of it this way: If your life is ever threatened by Vampires, Werewolves, Texas sized boulders from outer space, or bugs the size of a Volkswagon, IT'LL BE PEOPLE LIKE ME SAVIN' YOUR SORRY ASS, OK?
7th
November OK I finally finished Chapter 2 of The
Last Command, it's only taken me about a month. Now I have to get on with
Chapter 3. I still have to finish Vessel of My Pain as well and I'm writing an
X-Files/X-Men crossover too. Good job I don't have a social life really isn't
it.
2nd
November Having mulled over the idea for a
couple of days, I have finally got round to setting up the The Web Chick Awards
Page. If you know of an ass-kickin site run by a gal or you are a webmistress on
a mission, click on the 'lil pic of Storm to go to the site nomination page.
I wont be doin many more updates for the next week or so, as people are breathin down my neck to finish Chapter Two of The Last Command, but I shall be around, so keep the emails comin, I'll get round to 'em...eventually.
1st
November There just aren't enough hours in my
day right now. I'm buried under fan fic, I'm gettin about 30 emails a day from
X-men fans and what did I do to ease the pain, I went and joined an RPG. Now I
have to brush up on all the events in that and come up with a plot line for my
character. Arse. So in preparation I have booked the whole of next week off work
to catch up with my life. I may even make it to the supermarket before food
rationing kicks in and the country runs out of petrol again. At least we have
enough water to last for a while. Roll on the weekend, I plan to spend it out of
my face on alcohol. (I have 34 cocktail recipes from the WXF site to test. Hmmm
Long Slow Screw anyone?)
21st
October Well, my collection of Nekkid/Semi-clothed
Wolvie pics appears to be growing by the day, thanks to the X-Fiction gals who
have been scanning like crazy. And I've set up a petition in response to the
uproar at the rumour that Marvel are considering changing the way Comic Wolvie
looks to bring him more in line with the Movie Wolvie. We love you Hugh, but we
want our Comic Canucklehead the way he is. If ya wanna add your sig to the
petition follow the link at the bottom of the page.
13th October
My God in Heaven is it cold tonight! Today has been a thoroughly surreal day all
round. Not only is half the country under water (my parents will probably have
to wade to the supermarket tomorrow; their house is bounded on two sides by a
river and a canal) but I got invited to join a religious cult, by email, by a
guy I don't even know. Hmmm, free love; sounds cool, getting up at dawn to go to
church and then having to dig my breakfast up out of the ground; not so cool.
I'll stick to damnation and Frosted Shreddies thanks.
8th
October How do you get a bunch of computer
geeks to leave their house on a Sunday morning? Simple. Install a dodgy old
washing machine that blows their entire ring main when they switch it on. I
spent the first half of today crammed into the cupboard under the stairs with a
torch, bits of dead fuse in my hand, trying to figure out what the hell could
have blown the entire circuit, panicking that a power surge could well have
fried my hard drive after I'd only just got rid of that damn virus. Anyway,
after about 30 minutes of no music, no gaming, no gentle whirring of heat syncs
it was decided that we would have to go out and get a replacement 30 amp fuse.
This was a trauma to say the least. None of us DO Sundays and we missed the
second half of the goddam WWF.
7th
October OK, it's about to go up, so to speak. I
have spent days researching my new gallery of comic book pics and it's been a
hard task I can tell you. (Hmmm, I wonder how many Sexual Innuendos I can get
into this entry) So click the link to visit the "All new, yes I really
spent my spare time doing this, Naked Wolverine Gallery."
6th
October It's Friday night and are we partyin in
my house? Are we hell! Our network got infected with a nasty little Trojan Horse
so we are spending valuable drinking time repairing the infected files and
rewriting registries. My PC appears to have escaped pretty much unscathed. I
found the infected file 3 days ago, spent 20 minutes in a cold sweat the words
"Complete Reinstall" running through my head but somehow I have
managed to get rid of it, with a little help from my flatmate Lyn, who didn't
exactly fill me with much confidence when he went into Regedit and said
"Whatever you do, don't do this.." Meep. Anyway I shall be uploading
some new pics over the next few days so keep yer eye out.
24th
September Having a bit of trouble with my new
index page at the mo. The server wont accept my animation cos its says its too
big. Its only half a Mb dammit! So apologies to anyone who thought my index page
was a bit boring. I will be uploading the animation once my flatmates have got
off the network. They are co-opping in a Star Lancer game at the mo so it could
be some time. Have spent all week living on pasta after we overdid it a bit
during the petrol shortage, and we still have about 8 kilos to get through.
*sigh*
22nd
September: Fekin file extensions. Anyway,
theres some new pics added to the Galleries. (I go particularly funny over the
last ones in each section) Take a peak. At some point during the week I should
be adding a little teaser to the story board for my new story. It has a working
title of sorts, a plot, a tearjerker ending and a lot owing to Metallica "Unforgiven
2" and Nine Inch Nails "Sanctified."
21st
September: Added my first bit of fanfic to the
archive. What a trauma that was. Front page didnt like the idea of chapters, oh
no, I had to dump the whole lot on one page. Grrrr...still better than none of
the links working I s'pose. Anyway, time I went to bed, got to go and do my
proper job in the morning.
17th
September: (update) My brain hurts! Must
remember not to sit watching psychedelic Winamp plugins for so long.
17th
September: Well, its uploaded at last after a
frantic scramble late last night for a CD-ROM with an FTP programme on it. Thank
you Terrapin. I love you.
16th
September: Well, I've been working on this site
for three hours straight now and most of it has been a running battle with Paint
Shop Pro. I still have to write all the source code for my links *sob* so I'll
probably still be here tomorrow morning, my poor little processor is going to
hate me, my rig will never boot up again (which is a worrying thought cos right
now its the only machine in the house that is). The petrol embargo is apparently
over, although it didn't effect me much cos I get the train to work. It got a
bit scary when the supermarket ran out of fresh food, but being used to the
semi-starved life of students we improvised: 10 kilos of dried pasta and 20 cans
of baked beans should keep us going for some time. I have come to the conclusion
that the students who live next door (apparently according to my flatmates, they
are all very fit young ladies) must be rolling in cash. They have a pizza
delivered every night. They keep that up all year they wont be fit young ladies
for long.
