We didn’t really have much time to get sorted but we made a small show at a local craft fair anyway, I was only responsible for some very rushed Christmas cards. Nicola made some very lovely Scottie Dogs that were popular with the kids, if you like the look of them I should mention that we have a limited number floating about the flat and when I have a chance I will photograph each individual Scottie Dog that remains, give them a name and create a small certificate to go alongside… I’ll save that for another entry.

The Twitter entries are annoying if rant posts and strips aren’t dispersed daily so I’ve gotten rid of them, they still appear in the sidebar and on twitter itself. I’m also having to enable/disable the twitter notification of a new entry here because it tends to re-post everytime I edit a previous entry… which is just frustrating. It is however a very good plugin, just has some niggles

There will be strip uploads coming, I’m just not in the best place to work on them right now and I’m sort of engrossed in Jade Empire which I’ve finally got round to purchasing (for the PC [Special Ed. Copy]). Its quite heavy on the storytelling and dialogue, initially to the detriment of enjoyment because it broke the actual game play up so much but eventually something I came to quit enjoy. The moral choices come thick and fast and by the time I had infiltrated the Lotus I was feeling thoroughly corrupted despite having done much good (and the occasional ‘evil’ deed). I feel guilty about at least two well-mannered NPCs that died because of my moral failings… :/ I wished I had been stronger. One of them didn’t even further my larger aims… :s

Christmas has been fun so far, I’ve got more pairs of socks than I shall ever need in this lifetime…

I’m going to have to go on a blitz of updates when I get back to the flat to make up for the festive silence, I’ve been able to post and rant but not to work on strips or anything graphical for the duration of the holiday. It actually annoys me to lose updates because it grinds the site to a halt and without some forward momentum it won’t survive.

Could really do with someone else working on Urban Muggles but nobody wants to help out, its taking shape regardless of assistance.

There is a very slim chance that I may find a way to update sooner but it will be a blend of ‘not-quite-perfect’ photography, different papers and sketchy artwork… *shrug* I’ll have to make a UM related resolution methinks.

Pugs are ugly, give me a Scottie Dog any day… (Having said that, the ugly pug in question is a nice pug… just ugly, very ugly.)
