Friday Night, Saturday Morning...

The Joys Of The New Liebour "Boom And Bust-Free" Economy... There's quite a stink being kicked up about plans to sell off parts of the Post Office, but right now, I struggle to care. Whoever attempted to deliver my latest eBay acquisition clearly doesn't understand the clearly legible on-package instructions "FRAGILE - WITH CARE", trying to fold the damn thing in half to get it in my letter box. Jeez, what a dick(-ess) - hope your job's on the line right now...

However, the item in question was not damaged, and you can see with a click on the image here. It's an original Japanese collectable figure of Maria Freed from the anime series UFO Robo Grendizer - cute!

Meanwhile... Strange, that - I'm suddenly able to hear again, and just in time for a late-night showing of Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls. Still going to have the "excavation" done all the same, just to make sure this doesn't become a permanent feature.

Going to bed now, and maybe get a bit of writing done - but I'll probably fall asleep before I get anywhere. I do have a rough version of the conclusion of MoN-202 "Mane-of-Night And The Watcher From Beyond", but that will still need some work. Let's just say it centres around a "reveal" of considerable magnitude...!

The Holy Grail Can Be Found In The Arrrggghhh....

Agh! Yup, there goes my hearing again. That respite on Friday came to an abrupt end when I woke up...

Also "Agh!" My 'net connection STILL hasn't gone down - a funny thing to wish for, I know, but that's the only way to be sure that "The Chaos That I Accept NO Blame For" is finally coming to an end. I've been so "at ease" today that I've managed to forget about it all completely, and went and bid on two auctions on eBay that close in about 24 hours - when I may not have a 'net connection. I should be able to go online on Monday, and hopefully arrange for The Right Broadband Package. *crosses fingers*

Not An "Agh!", But A *sigh*... Yes, I've let myself down on the writing front. I know how things are supposed to progress, but just one sentence is the biggest "road-block" I've had in ages. I think I'm going to completely rewrite the offending section in an attempt to purge the problem - MoN-202 "Mane-of-Night And The Watcher From Beyond" cannot grind to a halt now.

I'll be logging off for CSI New York soon - maybe I can do that a little earlier than planned, and try and push ahead...

And Then There Are Good Things, Too... I've been meaning to give a more adventurous project a dry run for some time, and I finally managed to do just that. The result isn't perfect, but the pattern I've devised does work - with the right materials, a full-size version is quite achievable.

And finally... Ah bugger, just spent more money. Not a lot, but still...
