The Patent Dragon's Zone of Soul Retraction

Reporting from the netbook, 'cause the laptop needed a reboot, and got stuck again. The latter probably realises that its position as current #1 hardware solution is about to be usurped, and is getting in one last "dig". Yep, the new laptop has been ordered!

Today, however, was not be the day of rest I'd anticipated. A brief shopping trip was expanded to include other necessities, and then stretched further to include a visit to the town's annual medieval fayre, which I have NEVER managed to attend before! I returned with some nice buckles, a VERY promising knotting tool and a chain/mail keyring - and some photos (in an attempt to pick up on another Mission 101 Task - 55 - Take more photographs. I'm not about to complain, but tomorrow is going to be seriously "anti-busy" to make up for it.

So, I guess I better start gathering the software I'll need to bring the new laptop up to speed - ooooh, look; Cloverfield on telly...!

Bang goes that plan. ;-)

55 - Take more photographs

...and there's more to come. As always, stay tuned!

The Meeting... A "sorry you feel that way" rather than "we apologise for screwing up", but what needed to be said was said.

And The Rest Of The Day... A search for project materials was moderately successful, partly due to time constraints. Hollow plastic sphere for Blue/Red Lantern Power Battery project? Nope - couldn't even find a hamster ball. Large jewel for cosplay/prop Mane-of-Night energy-whip (Task 88)? No, but I did get some solid polystyrene eggs that could be used to form a mold for casting the necessary item - now, how about some resin casting supplies...?

Meanwhile... Mission Objective 79: Protest against CLAN continues, as local journalists continue to address the total lack of residents' involvement in the decision to allow 2010's CLAN Gathering. The latest news article featured someone who didn't want their name used, but I personally have no problems in that respect - especially when I'm going to go around the houses surrounding the site, asking for opinions and support. Given the way recent summers have gone, peace and quiet is about all we can hope for - and it's NOT for sale.

Task 55... Took some new photographs of my favourite piece of sculpture in the world - the dragon in Dundee. I even did a video clip this time - something will find its way online soon enough.

Coming Soon... The CSI Trilogy - all three "flavours" contributing to a single story-line. The story starts in Miami on Tuesday on Five - an episode from next season out of sequence...? Hope it doesn't blow anything about last season's cliffhanger.
