Arrange to shear sheep. Organise a time. Wait. It's really that simple. I've done it three times this week. ;-) I have also sewn my finger for the first time ever. My finger is so hardcore it broke the needle. So now the cloaks really are made with blood, sweat and cussing. Meanwhile, Platto The Bondage Sheep has successfully completed his first mission as the apprentice Keeper Of Reality, ...

Last night there was girly gathering in the park, with extra added salty fatty carbohydrates and nutritious conversation. Normally when fuvenusrs , rivet and I gather, we're forced to stay a couple of arms' lengths apart due to having hoops rotating around our middles. It was nice to just sit and talk in physical proximity like normal people. I learned about the toes of ballet dancers...

I ground my shearing gear. It involves large (14 inch) plates with emery paper stuck to them, spinning at high speed. You then apply the flat side of the combs or cutters to the emery using a device called a pendulum, the sparks fly and it gets ground nice and sharp. Tomorrow is the first shearing day of the season. I am not fit for it. There's nothing you can do to get fit for shearing, except shearing...

fuvenusrs asks a typical question in the neworleans   community: Hey; I'm a full time bar tender in New Zealand and considering moving to New Orleans for a change of scenery. What's the employment market like over there? I've had a hunt around on the web and there doesn't seem to be much advertised. Is there a website that you could direct me to that could give me some hints on...

I'm in a bit of a quandary. You see, lots of folks have said "PICS!" and lots of others have said "STORIES!" Which is nice because I have lots of both, and I want to share. But someone also suggested that we have a Real Live Gathering with slides and pizza - and of course if I fill up my blog with pics and stories that'd be a boring slideshow* for those that'd already seen them. Also, when I got home...

This morning in the train station there was a Happy lookalike - seriously, if it hadn't been for the way he was moving I would probably have embarrassed myself. But, well, this guy was mincing, and Happy doesn't mince. He bounces off his toes when he walks*. My eyesight started to pack up when I was about 11. Nobody (including me) really noticed till I was around 13, at which point I got my eyesight...

"BECOME THE CARNAL MONSTER!!!" So naturally, I needed to know what a carnal monster was, so I could decide whether I wanted to be one. Enter Google - turns out the carnal monster is a path you can take in (cover your eyes fuvenusrs ) Beowulf - The Game : "Choose the path of carnal monster slayer, laying destruction upon your foes with no remorse!" Which would be okay I guess, but I'm...

Comment to this post and I will give you five things/subjects I associate with you!! I asked fuvenusrs if I could play along and here I am with my five things: Porn: Haha, what can I say here?? I like to write it, sometimes watch it...Especially the kind that features two ridiculously hot boys in compromising positions. Yeah, porn is good! Life on Mars: My all time favorite television show...
