20. What was your favorite film of this year?
- Madagascar 2, Bolt

AVATAR

This was by far the most breathtaking, touching and beautiful movie of the whole year and for a long time! We watched it in 3D this week - I absolutely loved it, it also made me cry. I would die for watching it in a 3D IMAX again. =)



I don't want to spoil - just go and see that movie! <3

I was going to write a lengthy, non-twitter-style report on that fursuit outing from two weeks ago, about how cool and full of win it was. I mean, how often do you meet tabloid press reporters who spontaneously interview you for their news paper AND Anonymous during a fursuit outing? Doesn't happen all that often. :)

Then again, I'm tired, so I'll just drop a link to the video here. :)




Oh, and Gandalf the grey was there, too!


Fursuit walks are always fun, but this kind of 9-hour-extreme thing is awesome. I hope there's gonna be a CDHN3 soon. :)

Who's a good ATV ? yes... you're a good ATV :) *pets his Polaris*

It was nothing short of pure magic as far as I was concerned. Coming into work, night-shift in the pub, with clear skies and sogging streets, and leaving for home some minutes after 2am with everything covered in a blanket of snow. Snow actually settling on the ground is a rarity in these sea-towns! The next morning everyone walked about the streets with their mouths wide open.

Needles to say, temperatures have dropped and the 'Norn Iron' way of saying it's cold, Baltic, is living up to it's name. I find myself muttering about the house, covered in my bright blue slanket, which seems to scare the hell out of wee Oscar.

Speaking of scaring Oscar, our handyman dropped off a gift which had Oscar unsure and scared for the better part of the morning. Joe knocked on the door, and was asking if I had any use 'for these', as he held his arms up I saw two pheasants (one male, one female) tied by the neck. He said that the game keepers had gifted him with a bunch of birds, but he had one pair left over. Hung for two days, and ready for eating, regards of Clandeboye Estate. Cheers!

Took the time to take the skins off both, which were still in good condition surprisingly enough. Both birds were in fine shape, and given the skins will keep well enough during tanning I assume I'll be able to do the pair of them justice. Oscar was gifted the 'juicy bits' in our "waste not" traditions, but only ate a wee bit of the pieces.

Bangor Auctions has provided me with oodles of frames at a good price.. and hey, it counts as recycling as well! Morrígan needed something more fitted, so she's getting a custom frame at a whopping £80. First and probably last piece I'll get custom framed :/ The rest is starting to come together nicely, and I'm both curious and terrified of the build-up date creeping closer. The 28th of January seems far away, but when I look at how much there is to do I get shivers down my spine.

The the big feast on the 25th of December this year I am pleased to say it'll just be Mr. Richardson and myself. I'm looking forward to some quality time and feasting together and just snoozing off these busy days. Imbas Creations is doing incredibly well, and we're nearly done with this years torcs... ready to design next years! Hopefully they'll be up at the start of the next year, but it might be a wee bit later. Either way, it's something to look forward to!

Praktische Prüfung im ersten Anlauf gepackt! Hab den Führerschein =D

Fahrschule hat mich insgesamt 725 Euro + 90 Euro Prüfungsvorstellungsgeld gekostet :3
alles in allem 16 Stunden (11 Fahrten) hab ich gebraucht

w00t!

nachtfuchs surprised me with a wonderful candlelight-cheese-raclette dinner this week - fresh bread, fresh butter, wine, tasty cheese and ham! <3 That lifted me up, thank you for the awesome surprise! *hugs*



     

This is something I did based on some drawing suggestions thrown around in one of my other journals. The suggestions were to draw "Fluffy baby chickens","Wintery is fun. :3 Snowball fight!" and "Your tigress with a giant candy cane. You can never have too many stripes!"




I took little bits from those first three suggestions and combined them to make the above.


I'm still in an overall poor mood, but I'm trying to keep myself busy anyway.

Just can't find the motivation to write anything, even though plenty of things have been happening.

All the gift exchange packages were send out on the 7th of December if I recall correctly. I'm hoping they'll all arrive save and sound. The first one to me arrived yesterday as well; containing many goodies from 'Teavanna'. Needless to say for someone with a cold and an ear infection, this is pure bliss. Thank you EVER so much MedicineWolf!

That cold and ear-infection came from the Jenny Watts Staff-do, which was last Monday. Standing outside scantily clad really doesn't do your health any favours!

But it was a grand night out! Almost all staff (well, the ones we wanted there anyways) made it down. We took up two full length tables in the new Fifty-Two restaurant. My dinner consisted of soup for starters, a massive steak for mains and some ice-cream with rum-raisins after. Most of the staff stuck with the traditional turkey, but most were complaining they should have gone for the steak. I have to admit, it was perfectly cooked (or lack thereof... the way I like it).

Afterwards we all went back to Jenny Watts, and we sampled some of my home-made wines and meads. This took a toll on some of them (my wines are fairly heavy), so after some left for home the remainder of our staff-do troop went to Cafe Ceol for a dance or two. By this time most of the staff was tanked, and by closing we had our chef stumble out and inviting us back at his place.

It was 4am when me and Zara finally hit bed, but it was a good night. That morning I didn't awake to a screaming head-ache (hadn't drunk that much), but rather a stuffed nose and a rather painful ear.

Same day I was working the night-shift with Craig, which is when the cold grabbed a hold of me. Wednesday was spend sleeping most of it off, and today most is being spend hugging the tea-strainer that I got from the gift exchange with an awesome blend of tea in (thanks again!).

Hopefully the infection will clear soon enough. But I had a grand time indeed!

Furries in a French nightclub!

WISHES

EF .... but its to expansive for me :( Like the other years.

(crossposted to furry_media)

We've been to a fursuit outing last saturday, and coincidentally met a reporter from Der Express who instantly showed interest and interviewed me and Eisbaer about the people in costumes.

Now this is a yellow press / tabloid newspaper, which sort of goes hand in hand with Daily Mail, The Sun, or any other kind of sensationalist / News Corp. release, so we were rather wary what to say and what to keep to ourselves. The situation was too spontaneous for a in-depth interview anyway.

Turns out that the article is wrong in most ways... but still good, and in some ways, funny:



Here is the translation of the text:
"Whoops, what strange kind of critters are here?" must have been the thoughts of huskylady "Lacy" as she was "attacked" and perduaded for a dance by a horde of giant plush animals.

The people behind the colored animal costumes are a group of Dutch people from Rotterdam and Nijmwegen. "We made the outfits ourselves after we've been on a vacation in Australia last year. There, it has become a tradition to prowl, disguised as plush animal", so the visitors.

(subtext) Husky Lacy, surrounded by Dutch people in disguise.

Ironically, of all the facts we gave her, only the name and gender of the husky are correct. She mistook USA with Australia, and forgot the fact that only half of the group were Dutch. But hey, it could've been much, much, MUCH worse.

Last Saturday codydawgy organised a fursuit outing. Now these outings are always fun, but this one was special in a way... especially since a lot of coincidences have happened that nobody would believe normally.



The fuzzy group


( Moar! )

... GO!

Tickets: Check.
Rental Car: Check.
Hotel Room: Check.
Days off work: Check.

One thing is going to be different this year: After feeling some slight burn-out effect throughout 2009, I decided to stop DJing at some cons in 2010, and in light of some events of the past, FC has won the lottery! However, I've still applied to Anthrocon, so you might still see me there. Maybe even Megaplex. The wizards of the events will decide. :)

I also noticed that my credit card was affected by the chaos that the Fairmont caused, but before I could even act, they noticed it and fixed that issue. No worries there. :)

Well and long needed break, here I come!
