Snow!
It finally got around to snowing around my place, having started in England before Scotland, which is just wrong. It wasn’t snowing when I left work in Glasgow, and I snoozed on the bus home (I was actually worried I’d missed my stop), and when I woke up everything was different…
I took some pics… -

Mouse relocation
11.22.09 | Permalink | 5 CommentsI finally deployed my Live Catch Trip Trap Mouse Trap, as you’re supposed to check it every two hours, and this is really the first time since I bought it that I’d actually have the time to relocate the mouse should one turn up in it.

Mouse Rescue
So I found this slightly bedraggled mouse in my bathtub this morning, when I went for my morning wash. This would be the third mouse I’ve found there, and the second live one. I wonder if it’s something about the standing water that’s attracting them in? Anyway, as the mice are beginning [...]

Endeskinated
08.29.09 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI’ve taken delivery of a new desk, which means I now have enough space to bring my graphics tablet out of hiding. I’m hoping that this will mean I actually do some artwork occasionally…
The old desk is going back into the spare room, to be my (theoretical) physical art station. -

Kana progress!
Well, as of this morning, I can write out the entire Kana chart from memory!
This was done using Windows Journal on a Toshiba Tecra tablet PC, so it’s slightly rougher than even my usual scrawl, and I’ve sneakily not saved the grid pattern that made everything all neat and organised. We will call it even.

The appalling state of my Kana handwriting
My kana (Hiragana and Katakana) handwriting as of Wednesday 19th 2009. I have managed to swap ら and り (third column from the left, top two characters), and I’ve only written the Katakana (bottom group) that I know so far.
These are charts of all the kana (well, minus the ones I don’t know), in the equivalent of [...]
Musings of a Creative Slacker
"Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff – writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't. Maybe "lazy bastard" would be more appropriate.Tag Cloud
