Today, I went through my privacy settings in Facebook and locked out the crappy 'defaults' pushed by facebook recently.

Boy, do I feel better.

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the eponymousarchon.
Guess what? Here's the results of a "Five questions meme" that took my eye. These excellent questions came courtesy of
shermarama :
1. How many pairs of New Rock Boots do you own these days, and do they still get worn?
1. How many pairs of New Rock Boots do you own these days, and do they still get worn?
Currently? Two - the knee-high spiky tall boots that small children keep trying to impale them selves on and a pair of the more modern 'technical style' (Labyrinth?) low bootlets. And do I still wear them?

A regular contributer/blogger over at wastedtalent.ca has posted three blogposts so far about his experiences with Laser -eye surgery, and the results nad details - and the result is a view of all the details (of the operattion, the after-treatment and the results) from the inside. Which is a view you don't often get and is fascinating.
The site tools used doesn't seem to let me say "I want these three entries", so here's an aggregation of the links:
Red's Laser Eye Surgery - Part 1
Red's Laser Eye Surgery - Part 2
Red's Laser Eye Surgery - Part 3
(And yes, you'll see my request for details after the third one - I am still interested in getting this done)

Last week, I had someone point-out that my facebook avatar (same one I'm using here) was 'scary'.
Now, that really surprised me, because I thought that one was quite warm and open (if art-illy dark) so, since it's monday, a quick LJ Poll:
Poll-u-like?

Hi folks - I don't do this very often, but it's Pimping Time (Imagine that last text in a velvet suit and a swooping hat with a feather in it)
Poseur Ink is a small (American) company specialising in COLOUR buttons (badges) at extremely reasonable rates, from your own artwork or from work created by them as required. I've used them myself and the quality and service is excellent.
They also do t-shirt printing, again from your own design or from artwork created by them from spec.
(Being a small arty company with world domination in mind they also publish the occasional Graphic Novel, do bespoke artwork commissions, and also webcomics related merch)
Based on personal use, if you have need of either product, they are professional, helpful and their art and design rocks!

Disclosure: I have recently reviewed Poseur Ink's 'Side B' graphic novel for a small stateside music magazine, and liked it a lot. Even though the review appears to be stuck in pre-publishing hell, their dealings with me have been nothing but professional, friendly and accommodating.

Between
poisonrational and
lucylou's journal entries for today, my LJ Flist is fulla sauce!
(Sauce is of the line-drawn, hand-illustrated varieties, but do I need to say possibly NSFW? Well, then, NSFW - but sauce of both male, female and not-exactly-innocent-memories-of-youth varieties is therein. Rawr.)

Picture myself and my lady wife sat in the car, on the way out of Guildford. Peter Gabriel is on the stereo, and we're both singing along loudly and with gusto:
"Don't talk back - Just drive the car!
Shut your mouth - I know what you are!
Don't say nothing! - keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around - this is for real!"
"Do you think it's worrying that we're both singing along to a domestic row with this much relish?"
(Pause) "Why?"

Well, that was fun: A late-teenager just 'egged' me. It must have been very fustrating for them. The egg hit the crook of my arm and body and dropped unbroken, neatly into my coat pocket.
No mess, no panic caused, no fun at all - just a raised eyebrow from me as we walked past - and they even lost the egg!

It's a transition. we've moving towards crisp evenings and snuggly coloured scarves and gloves - Boots crunching on snow and people's breathing visible on the air. Warm coffee leaving delicious steam trails from paper cups held in gloved hands. Friends and chats around the fire and snow dancing to the ground in darkened streets. Children in brightly coloured boots and woollens - and the excuse as an adult to wear brightly coloured boots and woollens ourselves.
We're moving from summer to winter, the nights are getting longer but the world is becoming more a more interesting place, visible and alive in a way that doesn't exist in the summer.
It's all good.
