Everything


Everything is Clear
Today’s capstone is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The excitement of Tim Burton’s 2010 Alice interpretation has me dredging up old links about the reality challenged seven year old.

The following are some of my favorite Alice links: If you are a fan of Alice’s Adventures there is an excellent book called Annotated Alice. It contains interesting facts about Carroll, Victorian England, and of course Alice Liddell ( I believe it also reveals hidden math puzzles but cannot recall as I cannot locate my copy at the moment).

I’m going to be patiently waiting for 2010 to roll around. Perhaps I’ll watch a few of the creepier stop motion versions of the movie or rent Dreamchild.

I can’t believe I forgot to include Gwen Stefani’s interesting interpretation. Gwen Stefani – What You Waiting For?: Extended Explicit Version


Let’s Go To Tesco!


Let's Go Yo Tesco!


I actually have been working on, “Let’s Go To Tesco” for awhile. It wasn’t that it was difficult or that it ended up being anything of quality… I just spaced out a bit while drawing it.

I’m not entirely sure why I decided on Tesco. I think I read that the chain was coming to the states only to find out it was coming here under another brand name (Fit and Fresh,Thin and Lively, or Pert and Perky some such nonsense that will go over well here).

I do a lot of grocery shopping. Quick trips with paltry amounts of cash in hand. I generally forget my eco bags and feel like a dolt…

I’ll remember someday.

Your Sci-fi Girl


minutes

Oh, hello there. I was just staying up until 3am watching Max Headroom.

At the moment I’m watching S01E05 War. “Since when is the news entertainment?” Exactly Edison! Every time I turn on HLN I wonder the same thing…

Here are some screen captures from The Blanks Season 01 Episode 06. A gift from me to you. Low quality!

I was dreaming of the past…


music
…and my heart was beating fast :link: .

Oh, Imagine, I could listen to you forever if I didn’t have to scramble over the side of the speaker just to place the needle on the record.

I have particularly fancied Jealous Guy today :heart: . The lyrics hit close to home I suppose.

Lately, both Lennon and Harrison have been regulars on my turntable. To be fair it is either them or Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and at the moment ELO is a bit too manic for my taste.

Recipe Monster (an unlikely love story)


wtfcooking

I imagined that, by this point in my life, I would have someone to cook for. As it happens I don’t and I don’t even have a functioning oven :( .

Well, that is only half true. I have a hand-me down toaster oven that is an approximate 0.25 Cu. Ft capacity. I do cook chicken, waffles, toast, 7 layer bars, and potatoes in it but in very small portions for many hours.

Last night (as well as Memorial Day), I made Tandoori Chicken in it. I’m fairly certain the recipe I used is the farthest thing from traditional Indian cooking but the food was delicious. The chicken took about 1 hour to bake and remained a little pink so I ended up popping it in the microwave for a bit just to be safe.

ヾ(@⌒▽⌒@)ノおいしい!

I’m not what you would call skilled in the kitchen but I am willing to learn and make food for people willing to sign waivers :link: .



Oh, there isn’t really a love story or recipes but there is a monster… lurking, somewhere.






^ Note: Cooking at home and at work are entirely separate realities. At work Ducky is an immaculate example of professionalism. It is at home where her skills are questionable due largely in part to faulty equipment and a serious case of the “who gives a damn I’m the only one who is going to consume it” itus. :link:


Turbulence


Nictoria Welcome to, “The Arbitrary Life of Nictoria”. This is a little cover work for a obviously non-existent comic starring a plucky little pink haired girl with and no purpose whatsoever.

I imagine the comic would be a comedy with a bit of romance thrown in. She works a dead end job as a waitress and has a pet hamster named Puddles.
