Zune

With some much appreciated assistance from lady_bloodlust, we managed to set up my Zune profile (http://social.zune.net/member/blaquewraith) and my blaquewraith@live.com email address.

Just wanted them for the future and for the sake of it.

Only thing is, I can't log into the Zune software itself to start registering music plays :(

Zoinks!

Got Hellboy Director's Cut 3 disc set for €14.

Also got Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End Special Edition 2 disc set.

Nightmare Before Christmas 3D

lady_bastet and I went to see Nightmare Before Christmas 3D last night and it was spooktacular.

It was like a new movie seeing it on the big screen, in high def 3D and with surround sound.

It was a little awkward wearing the 3D glasses over my ones but well worth it. The 3D allowed you to see into the sets and get a better idea of their build.

?!?!?!?!

My head is totally asploding checking out http://www.brassgoggles.co.uk/.

Spotted this, which imsploded my brains, want... to... go...

Doodlepots

Here's the ceramics lady_bastet and I painted in Doodlepots in Whitby.

I really enjoyed doing my Frankencat but my perfectionist streak went against me as we took ages.



And here is lady_bastet's nakie fairy.

Whitby in review

Hurray, I plucked up the courage and asked lady_bastet to marry me. We were out for a walk around the old town and made our way up the 199 steps and I asked her at the top (had the ring with me the whole week). Much joy and happiness abound. We also put the announcement in the Gazette.

Apart from that fantasticalness, the two weeks were great fun especially the silent movie karlthlthu, littlepinkfaery, gothic_haven and r0chet and ourselves worked on. Going the see if they'll show it at the next WDS ball. Paul from the Victorian Image was also much impressed. Apparently he worked on special effects (appeared briefly) in A Bridge Too Far.

Picked up a few CDs and some more books but otherwise pretty quiet on the purchases front.

Happy Birthday dequath

Hope you have a kick ass day!
