well at least I ascii coded my own email address so I won't get mega spammed.

try copy and pasting your own address instead of steve thirlwalls, try breaking blogger, no really it's fun, try not having a bloody 'delete this post' or 'edit and save changes option' cause blogger is a poohead. Try writing things with crayon because you're too much of a spaz to use a computer or indeed sharp objects... :-/

try eve@gundogdesign.com

I stayed at infogrames cause they promoted me - god knows why, as I had subconsciously decided to force the issue and for the three months before I got my little office in the sky, I was turning up at 11am or later, taking a couple of hours for lunch and going home at about 4pm.
Pol, that's cool, at least brisbane is warmer than bolton! where did you apply? and if you have a pc at home, can you do freelance work too? as that's mostly what I do... mostly.

it is 3:26 am, and my undies are chafing

do you know where your towel is?

comic: they're having a break, but the lovely editors said that they'd arrange for me to see it sometime towards the end of july...so that's good. not sure when it'll actually be in the shops though :/

in other news: my tv died on sunday night, and rather than get it fixed, i went out monday night and bought a HUGE 68cm stereo thing that now sits in the corner :) it's lovely.

Sheesh, and welcome to the blog of the one liners...
I should write more, but the most exciting thing that has happened to me lately is that Senor Bill and myself have made some pretty kick arse pickled onions.

cool - and when do we get to see this extravaganza? Or more to the point, when do we get to drag people into the comic store and tell random people that we know the person that wrote that story...?

hurrah.
comic is *finished* apparently.

i've yet to see it, but according to the editors i'll be "pleasantly surprised by how it looks"

best euphemism I've heard all week - from someone talking about the tenuous nature of graphics houses:
"...when the company I was working for flew into the sun..."

Hey, if you get a job offer, even verbal, isn't that a contract? Which agency are you going through? Please tell me not Aardvark Swift - SLD looks like someone from "Only Fools & Horses" trying to be Noel Coward.

That's bollox.

Never trust people from Lancashire. Even Cleckheaton is pushing it.

i think you should open the door starkers. then again, i'm a pervert.

Question for you all... this is the third time this has happened: Junior Real Estate Agent walks past letterbox with "No Junk Mail" sign, walks up to door and shoves leaflet underneath it. Consequently dogs go mental, and I *still* have junk mail.
So, what are my options for dealing with this, as I'm betting that the person I would be complaining to, is the person that probably made the flunky work experience kid buy a cheap suit and wear down his shoeleather by wandering the streets with cards and leaflets to shove under people's front doors...

Creative options are welcomed.

Okay, people that haven't seen Matrix Reloaded have to go see it so we can talk about it here soon...

"...and what's really going to bake your noodle later on is..."

Hurry!
That will be all.

Climber amputates his own arm and rappels down mountain. Oh hang on, I forgot to mention that he amputated his arm with his own pocket knife.
