are you sitting comfortably?

then i'll begin.

once upon a time (yesterday) there was a girl who worked at a cinema. sometimes this job makes her feel a bit cinderella-ey in that she works really hard and some other people don't so much and she gets grief from customers for things that aren't her fault and she gets paid almost nothing for the privilege.

every now and then however, something good happens.

the girl was in the cleaning cupboard when one of the boys that works at the cinema said "look, that boy at retail looks like ron weasley"

"who, where?"

"wait for him to turn round, that boy in the leather jacket. he looks like a shorter, fatter ron weasley."

the boy at retail turned a little and the girl saw that yeah he did look a bit like ron weasley.

the girl headed across the foyer to carry on with clearing up after people and saw the ron weasley look-a-like again but properly and thought to herself "hang on a minute, that actually might be ron weasley"

she mentioned to her colleague that he looked far too much like ron weasley for it to not actually be him and then watched as a little boy had his photo taken with him.

as ron weasely walked past them into screen 1 the girl and boy looked on in amazement that it was actually ron weasley and then spent the rest of their shift laughing that he had been pointed out as a 'shorter, fatter version'.

the end.



p.s. he didn't look at all fat but they must put him on a box or something when they're filming him next to harry and co.

bits and bobs

i drew this at work the other day. bit wonky but not bad.


i love squirty cream

we went to islington today to find the big art shop of the one we found by the national gallery.
will got a rhino in the art shop to make pretty. photos another time, he's not finished yet. and i got lino printing stuff. i'm excited.
we had lunch at 'the diner'. it was awesome. as shown by the photo. cherry coke in a resteraunt and glass coke bottles can only be a good thing.

this is me in the toilets at 'the diner' all the tiles were black with orange grouting and the toilets and sinks were black too. they were brilliant.

this is what i drew on the train home. part of wills face.

good day but really cold.

i need money to spend in gap.

the end. (will just arrived with fish and chips but without the fish and with a sausage and there's wine to be had)

trip to london

me and will went to london yesterday. it was good. we went to paperchase which was, as always, a wonderland. then we walked round to charing cross, had pizza hut buffet (yum) and went to forbidden planet where i finally got myself a copy of who killed amanda palmer (book) then we headed off to the national gallery to do some drawing and on the way found an art shop which was heaving with people because it had massive discounts which is pretty awesome. except they don't sell any lino cutting stuff. wood chisels, sure, but lino cutting tools, who on earth would want such odd things?
can't find lino stuff anywhere.

i gave will some money to go buy us tea in the national gallery 'espresso bar' and it turned out to be the funniest £5 note we've seen. (it came out of my purse like that, we didn't draw on it. that's what made it funny)

i decided i couldn't draw the painting we sat infront of so i did a doodle then drew the doorways down to the other side of the gallery from where we were.

we have added to our pizza hut name tag collection. yesterday we were served by agnes lasagne.

the train journey home was full of office folk. they all looked so sad and unfullfilled. i don't understand why so many people think thats how they should live. yeah you've got loads of money but it's clearly not making you happy.
while we're in london they all do my head in, pushing past me, getting in the way, running around like they're really important and not having any manners or respect for us unimportant non office people but i actually felt sorry for the people on our train. they all looked so depressed.
but it's their own faults.

will looked up where had this book on the internet and said that forbidden planet had some copies left that had been signed when neil gaiman and amanda palmer had done a signing there last year. we went to have a look but none of them had one of the little 'this book is signed' stickers but i got it anyway because it's a beautiful book. i un wrapped it from it's plastic when i got home and it's signed!
i'm so happy.
it made a good day even better.
and then will cooked a fry up and we watched lots of qi episodes on the iplayer.
awesome.

living dead girl

i didn't realise my face would be in the photo but couldn't be bothered to take another one, and another one until i got it right.

i 'made' this t-shirt. by 'made' i mean i printed on it. i think it came out pretty damn good.
incase you don't know, and i know it'd bother you, it's a rob zombie song.

today was a pretty relaxed sunday. we even went for a walk. to the co op, to buy a bag of salad. nowhere pretty.
on the way home we walked past the old house. someone is actually living in it! there is no way you could have fixed all the problems by now so they must be living in an awful house too.
then will had to go to work because the guy that should have been working hurt his leg. numpty.

i did some bookmark making. the shops contents is getting on quite well even if the website is still a bit untouched.

and then i made the nice dinner we were meant to have together and had half while internet-ing and listening to records. oh yes, on an actual record player. everyone that doesn't have one, you're missing out.

as an ending thought, i can't believe america say bangs instead of fringe. i always thought bangs was just the word for that short rockabilly betty page type fringe?
i'm obviously just uncultured.

one for sorrow

good ol' bit of collage.
i really enjoyed making him.
thinking he'll be cropped and printed into one of my bookmarks, which are coming along quite nicely if i do say so myself.

some things

i'm at my most awesome when i'm sending will photos of me while he's in the same room but paying attention to things other than me.

will gets sad when he bites off a penguin's face.
but it's better than eating other bits of it while it can still look at you.

the innards of the penguin look like smarties but really that's just what penguins look like inside.

today we watched black hawk down and i changed the buttons on wills jacket.
i like to sew.

this post is pointless but i don't care.



p.s. can someone explain to me why glee is so popular? is it just because they sing journey songs?

phantom of the opera

we had a day out yesterday. for christmas will's mum got us tickets to go see the phantom of the opera so we decided to make a day of it and went to the national gallery in the afternoon.

we went and had tea and cake in the gallery cafe and looked at paintings on their awesome computer library thingy. will bought me this amazing cake. it was raspberry icing and it was so good i got will to help me eat it. coz i'm nice like that.

we sat on one of the comfy benches and did some drawing

then we went to pizza hut for dinner. i completely don't see the 'my fave' as part of the writing so i thought our waiter was called salim nachos. i'm kind of sad that he isn't.

will is excited by food. so am i but there isn't a picture to prove it.

we weren't allowed to take photos inside but here we are with the poster.
the building itself was beautiful and the show was magic. the costumes, the set, the make up, the actors themselves. i love the phantom. even if he does do killings. christine is stupid.
we want to go again.
