Telly and Radio Writer. Autistic. Was nominated for a BAFTA once. I also sort out books in a charity shop. Maybe that’s what I’ll talk about here.
Missed a few weeks in the shop because of work (and our tills went down across half-term so we had to shut) but here’s a BOY’S OWN ANNUAL from 1890, that was donated.
Bye now.

I have added some prints to my ko-fi page. It took a long time but I've found a good UK based print service to supply UK/Europe folks with bird portraits. Hahnemüle eco paper, 10+ colour giclee prints, if it wasn't my own artwork I'd say they look pretty good!

Falling asleep last night to a nice relaxing audiobook about north sea raiding between 950 and 1041 CE, but actually I can't relax because it's trying to tell me this silly guy was REAL??

It’s been a barren season for interesting book donations, but yesterday a bunch of those leatherbound ‘retirement home’ hardbacks came in, with these frontspiece portraits of various thriller authors.

So now that it’s confirmed that none of the messages on the bullets were pro-trans, maybe we should have a national conversation about how multiple newspapers repeated a lie about us on their front pages hours after doubts had already been cast over it?

Who is committing all these Naval Crimes? How are Naval Crimes so prolific? Are the Naval Crime stats being fluffed up somehow for bigger Naval Crimes budgets? (Should I be pitching NCIS:IA with that exact premise?)

I was excited to see Norwood and Sydenham represented at The National Gallery. Pissarro, no less. I had no idea. I cycle past that church on my way to get fancy cheeses.

From Animage magazine (november 1985) :
Masayuki (22 years old) of Studio Giants is in charge of all key animations.
He also did the storyboard.
There are around 1,500 cels for 75 seconds.

This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.
3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

Today’s donations: dozens of lyric sheets, seemingly pilfered from the BBC TELEVISION MUSIC LIBRARY. Highlights include these Sandie Shaw ones that look like she was the main PI in a series of racy detective novels.

If you’re a writer who regularly works with animators, why would you work on a project designed to put most of them out of a job? Did you not like the ones you met?

ALSO I didn't know that Benny "the Jet" Urquidez trained Swayze for Road House, created a style based on how Swayze already moved, and set it to music to capitalize on Swayze's dance background, which is rad as heck.

Maybe because he feels so lean, I don't always think of Clint Eastwood as a physically imposing fella, but he's 6'4 and Jiminy Christmas, look at that arm, I sure don't want to get hit by him
