lost your shoes?

We have four out by the letterbox if someone wants to claim them. They keep appearing in our yard each night. We suspect a friendly—we hope friendly—dog at work. Somebody must be walking around with very cold feet…

i got shut in the train doors today

Don't know what happened to doors closing, please stand clear, but I didn't hear it and didn't stand clear and *ow*

merry christmas

For those who don’t know me, I have an obsession with the festive season that lasts the whole year round. I’m not sure why, but I can’t escape it… I see reminders constantly, TV shows, movies, people in the street talking… so, Merry Christmas from me!

This picture was on my old home page. It’s of a pink lady.

a good book is worth a thousand words

Or so I would hope! I do like to read however, especially now I catch the citytrain every day and have plenty of time! I’m a fantasy fan through and through, and have been for many long years. I love cool stuff like Raymond E. Feist’s Midkemia novels, Dragonlance, or—more recently—Sara Douglass Tencendor series and David Farland’s Runelords saga. Of course, sometimes I prefer nonsensical stuff like the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy :) Oh yeah—Harry Potter is very cool too!

for the glory of the predacons

Yes, I collect Predacons. Whattacons, you say? Predacons, I reply. Whattacons, you say? Alrighty then, the Predacons are the descendants of the Decepticons, of the Transformers. Oh… you say, *pause* what are Decepticons, and what are Transformers? Pffft! Well anyway, I have a nice little collection with all the important characters. If you need to know more visit Ben's World of Transformers (different Ben, great site) or They Are Among Us. Or just watch more TV :)

spinning in circles

I sometimes do this to pass the time.

timing is everything

If there was one thing I've learned in life, it's that timing is everything.

um, hello…

This is what I invariably say when someone I'm ringing actually answers their phone. A rarer occurrence than you might think!

sunshine, lollipops and, rainbows…

Is a song, I think, I once heard on The Simpsons. But as you see, a whole bunch of my pictures seem to fit that theme… funny that *grin*

rainbow island

My homepage always read like a blog

So it seems like a good idea to make it one. I'll be reposting all the bits that made up the old home page. And maybe—just maybe—I might even keep it up to date. That sure would be neat.

Recently, I posted about

sketch: blue bird on an old stump

Which might relate to

sketch: rained in at the cabin

Or might involve my

sketch: waterfall

Can't get enough Ben?

sketch: birds at sunset

sketch: of a dragon
