Holiday Homework

February 28th, 2007 by Crumpet

In the true spirit of procrastination, I did this one last night, after four months of holidays. It is, of course, due today.

Here’s where I’d post a gratuitous picture of my birthday present, but I won’t this time just incase Mr Crumpet wants to photograph it for B…

First day at school.

February 27th, 2007 by Crumpet

It’s a new year, with new classes, and I have a new studio space that’s not visible to every single person that walks into the building! Same locker though.

I made some muffins for Mr C after he called to tell me that a motorcyclist had reversed into his car. They’re the packet sort that I always refuse to make him when we pass them in the supermarket. I don’t do packet mixes, but I did this time. And then I saw the tiny, tiny denty scratch on the car, and felt slightly ripped off, but I’m glad I made the muffins anyway.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

February 25th, 2007 by Crumpet

There are stories within stories, whispered in ears in the quiet of the night, shouted above the roar of the day, and played out between lovers and enemies, strangers and friends. But all, all are fragile things made up using just 26 letters arranged and rearranged again and again to form tales and imaginings which, if you let them, will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination and move you to the very depths of your soul.

Every 28 days, like clockwork, I feel like I’ll shatter at the smallest knock, both physically and emotionally. I figured yesterday was a good day to start reading Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman.

The little excerpt above is from the back of the book, and I decided it would serve as an excellent reminder that the Alphabet Shoot photography competition is about to begin. Current participants are listed in the column on yr right, although some of the Flickr links aren’t working, because WordPress is stripping the @ symbol out, and I can’t figure out how to stop it. So if the Flickr address is the type that ends in N00/ you should add in the @ just prior to that, and you’ll find the correct page.

I did originally say that signups would end on the 24th, but if you still want to sign up, you can — just make sure all the first round photos, being for the letter A, are uploaded into the Alphabet Shoot Flickr Group by 11:59PM UTC/GMT on Monday 26 February.

Happy shooting.

Inspired by the comment Lynch left yesterday, I’ve added a plugin to the blog that shows the most recent comments in the sidebar. Check em’ out just below the Etsy graphic on the left.
