brain droppings

Gosh, where have I been? Head down on SurfGirl, mostly, and dreaming up a fantasical magical fantasy novel.

Seren's new catalogue popped through my door, and I want…all of it. But especially the Mabinogion retellings. Another idea that I never quite followed through on. Literally cannot wait for the Niall Griffiths one! (I am determined to make it to his Ty Newydd workshop.)

Death of the iBook is also making life difficult. I dream of a backlit keyboard and unibody, 13 inches and 250GB of Apple goodness…

Brits and the weather

‘the sun’s shinning’

One of my all-time pet HATES. Shineing is better…no, I’d also chop hands off for that.

Shinning, though? Rustles up images of skinny, pale, overshaved shiny (‘shinny’?) calves, stacked up in the sky, desperate to get their fix of shinny-ness… (‘shinne’?)

Apologies for randomness…it must be Friday afternoon…

TextEdit goes creepy

I was messing about trying to make Friday afternoon more creative by turning uninspiring copy pink…and lo and behold, there's a web on the colour slider in TextEdit's Colors palette.

Cute! I love Hallowe'en.

(Though I don't remember Software Update asking me anything about TextEdit?)

Update: I am dull and did not think…it means web safe colours! Oops…
