Moving on.
In the interest of consistency, all operations are moving to karenjeane. Along with drawings, photos, and the witty and insightful writing you've come to expect here (oh I flatter myself), the new journal will feature goings-on in Halifax, book reviews, film reviews, and other random bits.
Please friend karenjeane if you'd like to continue seeing my entries - they ( Read more... ) -
Shiny.
I gots a job! It was the one at Trinity Jewellers I was hoping for. It'll mainly be sales-based but I'll be learning about jewellery and small business operations, as well as doing a little bit of print design. All in all much better than anything at the mall. I start Thursday. :)
In other September-ish news, jetfx and his roommates are settling well ( Read more... ) -
The Old British Man Obsession.
Look, a sort-of meme from blowdry. Here are ten men I fancy. All are British, eight are over 40. I would say that jetfx has a towering legacy to follow, but is more than capable. :) Back in fantasyland . . .

Gas rays and space gyros, no no.
So, a new Flash Gordon. One is due apx. every 20 years - alas, it's a little behind schedule, but 'tis all right.

I also enjoy the 1980 ( Read more... ) -
We have a Spock!
Actually, we have two Spocks: Leonard Nimsy Nimoy and Zachary Quinto (best known as Sylar on Heroes, with various TV credits.)

Thinking of the children.
In an attempt to find refuge from the heat yesterday I ended up in the mall. The highlight was having a Marvel vs. DC argument with some 10-year-old boys in Bootlegger, where superhero t-shirts had attracted me.
Kids: These suck! Marvel is better.
Me: No way, DC rocks!
Kids: Well, most of the good characters are Marvel. Like Flash!
Me: Flash is DC ( Read more... ) -
My friend Flixster.
New toy: it's Flixster! I set it up as an extension to my Facebook - so many intertwined accounts. In any case, there will be movie reviews. Mine also seem to be epic relative to the usual length: I originally thought 350 words ought to be about right, only to discover most folks would be running long at 50. Oh well ( Read more... ) -
"We got one!"
A job interview, that is. I figured after 35 applications something would come through. :/ For this position, which looks just perfect. Monday morning it's a go. Will have to iron my clothes and brush up on all the visual arts goings-on in Nova Scotia . . . *crosses fingers* -
It was the best of times . . .
Look, Halifax is the 2nd best place to live in Canada ( Read more... )
