In a nostalgic mood (and because I’m either suffering from food poisoning or a monster has taken up residence in my stomach), I decided to rewatch some Disney films I loved as a child: Mary Poppins, 101 Dalmations, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. It’s probably been about 20 years since I’ve last seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks [...]
Sweet Potato Latte
Bear came into the city this weekend and we spent Saturday wandering around the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market before getting Korean barbeque dinner with some friends. I love flea markets, mostly because I have to wonder at the story behind some of the objects on sale. For instance, Bear and I found a Victorian diver’s [...]
Overheard At An English Wedding
Guest: Which one of Nita’s brothers are you: the Philosopher or the Doctor? Bear: I’m the Doctor. See, I always knew I was dating a 900-year-old time-travelling alien. ♥ ♥ (It’s not often my geekery and my romantic life overlap in such a way as to bring me such intense nerdly joy.)
Allons-y!
What I Did On My Summer Holidays, a doodle-essay by S. Jae-Jones This is pretty much my dream come true. Some day the Doctor will show up in his TARDIS and whisk me, Bear, and White-Harp away on adventures across time and space. Also, I needed a new desktop background, so I drew one.
One for DamnYouAutoCorrect
JJ: Thunder and lightning! White-Harp a scaredy-Harp. BEAR: White harp is a Aussie. BEAR: Wuss
Photo Friday: February 25
Yay, I managed to make it to another Photo Friday! Boo, I have shot nothing of interest this week! I have been doing a bit of food photography, but that’s because I’ve made a concerted effort to start cooking more in order to 1) stop bleeding money and 2) lose weight. It Was So Cold [...]
Playtime is Over
The art bunny continues its stranglehold on me. Sketched this on the train ride home and then quickly coloured it in Painter. Poor Bear. During the winter I always want to play Lyra Crosses Svalbard, but Bear is usually not up to playing Iorek and White-Harp doesn’t want to play a male daemon. I’m not [...]
Stealing My Harps
Bear brought to my attention the other day that it had been over a year since I last changed my desktop/laptop background. So I came up with a new one. I was a little stumped a first about what to draw since I usually draw from life, but this illustration came to me. After all, [...]
Internet, Internet!
My blogging initiative goes in fits and starts, but I swear someday soon I shall return to a regular schedule. Sort of. There have been many goings-ons (going-ons? goings-on?) here at Ye Olde Little Big Publisher. Last week I had to write catalogue copy for fifteen titles and the week before we just finished launching [...]
Please, Sir, I Don’t Want Any More
I’ve never been a fan of the Bad Boy in fiction, but lately I’ve become even more fed up with him. Mostly because he swaggers onto the page and expects me to find him sexy by virtue of the fact that he’s “bad”. Or something. Maybe “mysterious”? What is it that’s so appealing about the [...]
