Decrepit? Not quite.

Proudly presenting:

Y Ddraig Gwyrdd



and...

Y Ddraig Oren!



Since they're cuter than a Billy Bumbler's Bum (especially Gwyrdd), I come begging clicks. Please? It costs your index finger nothing (except RSI).

Thank you!

I did it. I dragoncaved.

'The Orphanage' is a spooky, spooky film. Suck it and see!

There was a silverfish in the bath this morning.

Silverfish are horrible and I hate them. The only other insect I hate is the cranefly. Messrs. Silverfish and Cranefly are horrible in their own unique and ghastly ways.

So, like a massive quim, I asked Cariad to silverfish the offending evil out of the bath while I hopped from foot to foot and generally acted a bit daft. But why? In the interests of know thy enemy, I did a little Wiki-fu on the silverfish. And maybe I'm not so irrational after all...

Firstly, look at them. A photo cannot do these creatures justice. It's the way they move, all slippery and silky and slick. Like mercury diarrhea with legs.

Secondly; 'Silverfish can also cause damage to books, tapestries, and textiles....
By all means take the tapestries. The textiles, even. But not the books! Anything but that, you silvery heathen gits!

Another point; they turn me into one of those annoying bints who screams and flaps her hands over something small as an aphid. I love insects. I cherish their very existence. Why must the silverfish degrade me so?

And lastly (but most beastly) '...they also have a bite which may cause irritation but has no long term effects'.
Yes, the little shitlings can bite.

My hate is now justified. Rejoice.

In other news, '30 Days of Night' is not very good. 'Black Sheep' is entertaining Peter Jackson lite. Mario Party 8 is both boring and compelling.

Thank you.

Happy Birthday to the marvellous minviendha - hope you have the sparkliest of days :)

Many happy returns to r_scribbles!

Wishing you a very shiny day :)

'Tor Books announced today that novelist Brandon Sanderson has been chosen to finish writing the final novel in Robert Jordan’s bestselling Wheel of Time fantasy series. Jordan—described by some as Tolkien’s heir—died Sept. 16 from a rare blood disease. The new novel, A Memory of Light, will be the 12th and final book in the fantasy series which has sold more than 14 million copies in North America and more than 30 million copies worldwide. The last four books in the series were all #1 New York Times bestsellers.'

Anyone know who this fellow is?

I have a funny feeling I may have won NaNo, but cannot check as IT have blocked the site. Cor, the suspense. It kills me.

ETA:




NaNo - 0, Rhi - 2

And I'm having egg on toast for tea! Get in!

Why was I not aware Jasper FForde wrote a new Thursday Next book? I am clearly a massive plum.

Late on the old bandwagon as usual, but allow me to present my very first 'bitch, plz' icon... *is proud*

And I found groovy fanart of the very same fellow!

I got Z from cg_p

Here is da roolz: Comment if you want me to give you a random letter. You must then post a list of ten things starting with that letter that you enjoy, and why, in your journal.

1. Z is for Zucchini - Like a courgette but not a courgette, despite the fact no one can tell the difference. May also be confused with the common cucumber. It’s lovely in ratatouille.

2. Z is also for Ziggurat, which is what baddie in Tezuka’s 'Metropolis' is trying to build. The song at the end makes me weep like...someone who cries.

3. Z is also also for Zeppelin (Led) because the song 'Houses of the Holy' reminds me of a school trip to the Tate Gallery where everyone wondered why I was listening to Led Zeppelin and not Take That. There’s a two word answer to that. The second one is ‘off’.

4. Z - The first letter of Zoltar, the weird fortune telling bloke from 'Big', a film I loved unconditionally as a sprog.

5. Zool – Both a cool retro platform game and the evil God type thing in Ghostbusters...come to think of it, that might be Zuul...

6. Zuul – Evil God type thing from Ghostbusters. I love this film. Used to love the cartoon too, with its sarky and good looking Venkman. Listen too hard, though, and he starts to sound like Garfield. Which isn’t good.

7. Zarine Bashere. You’re right – I don’t like her much. But she is from WoT, so nyah.

8. Zoinks! Shaggy shouts this in Scooby Doo. I used to find it comical.

9. Zulu - An ancient film with Michael Caine in it. Again, the song at the end makes me cry because it’s stirring (and Welsh). Cymru am byth!

10. Zith - Sadi’s little snake from The Mallorean. She curls up in Liselle’s bodice and frightens the shit out of Silk. My pet snake used to do the same. Beloved's reaction was much like poor Silk's :D

Wish it was Friday...hoom.

And that's the end of that chapter *dusts hands*

How apt.

Hee. Poppy-Dog really got into the Halloween spirit…

Check out the beep-appeal of that nose! A may have to vent a little squee *squee!*

I went as Hermione (with a frankly ridiculous hat). It was a bit of a cop out – I only had to don my old school uniform and drag a stuffed ginger cat around, but beloved earned massively massive bonus points for being Potter (complete with scar n’ specs!) and making it easier for people to figure who I was. ‘Twas a fun night.

I’m actually starting to get nervous about this NaNo thing. 50,000 words. It took me four years to get SoC to 90,000 (and never get around to finishing it!). This does not bode well.

Torchwood was pants last night. Hope it picks up next week.

And speaking of blah, has anyone seen the Eragon trailer? I would post a link but YouTube seems to be on the fritz. Anyway, scarce have I seen such uninspiring fare. Or maybe I’m just peeved Paolini was a famed author at 19. Not that I’ve read the books. On principle. And all that. Anyway, it looks crap. Roll on The Hobbit...
