Friday night I went with the folks to an annual antiques and collectibles show ("Our 83rd Year!") and had a nice time. There was hors d'oeuvres and many lovely things to look at. Books and ephemera are...the dealer's card to possibly purchase them later. Then after I walked away Mom sneaked over and bought them for me. I bawww'd. They look lovely on me too. In any case a good time was had by all. X

"Happy Valentine's Day," Constance said brightly when Isaac opened the door, Giosetta beside her holding a white box and a folded bit of fabric. "Ugh." Isaac grimaced. "I thought we were above that sort...again, giving Isaac's hand a little squeeze. "Now, while we're on the subject of holidays, please explain to me what an anthropomorphic hare laying painted eggs has to do with a reincarnating rabbi.

...on their quality, just that I'm apparently still not over the ''OMG I wrote something" thrill. There was a time, that time being my entire pre-fandom life, when I would do anything to get out of a creative writing assignment. Plus it's not everywhere you can find fic with characterization entirely to your preferences. :D? :D? Story most under-appreciated by the universe: If I had to pick I'd...

I finally gave that copy of Rumble Roses I picked up at the Good Will a try. The fact that the characters have both a Heel and a Face persona fills me with glee. The faces steer awfully close to the Uncanny... specifically information about Hull and Nantasket and its popularity at the turn of the century. Which led to finding THESE IMAGES OF STRAPPING MANLINESS IN VINTAGE BATHING SUITS . Hubba hubba. X

All right, here's the thing. The new pet project is called Creative*Impulsive : Boston-based (AMERICA FUCK YEAH) steampunk slash, as a series of short stand-alone stories. Mostly to see if I can actually finish anything, I guess. Anyway, all the links and random babbling crap over said wank will be going under a filter of its own. If (Eris knows why) you have any desire to watch me make an ass...

More spam to amuse myself, move along. This time about the Brass Rat. "So we turned to Mr. Hornaday's book on the animals of North America and instantly chose the beaver….The beaver not only typifies...in the world, the beaver is noted for its engineering and mechanical skills and habits of industry. His habits are nocturnal, he does his best work in the dark.' " —Lester Gardner, Class of 189

Something to share with Kama, which tickles the hell out of me. From the Wikipedia entry on "Motorcycle history". However, if one counts two wheels with steam propulsion as being a motorcycle, then...engine, whose connecting rods directly drive a crank on the rear wheel. The Roper machine pre-dates the invention of the safety bicycle by many years, so its chassis is based on the "boneshaker" bike.

Rough sketch for OC Isaac, just so I have something in mind when I'm trying to bang story out, but it's a start . I like his sideburns. X3

Úgy érzem, hogy végre eljött az idő, hogy dicsekedjek azokkal amiket csinálok mostanság... Ami nem más, mint a gyöngyfűzés, és ékszerkészítés. :) Az összes zsebpénzem ezekre megy el... :D Nyaklánc...a legjobbak... és az ötletek csak jönnek, csak jönnek... T_T De jövőhéten vizsgák után, megyek vásárolni... gyöngyboltok reszkessetek!!!! :D Tanulok, tanulok, tanulok. Csak annyira nem élvezem... D
