Songs of Love
General | Posted 14 years agoSing while you have time
Let the sun shine
Down from above
And fill you with songs of love
I'm surprised I haven't bought anything by The Divine Comedy yet, their songs are so uplifting.

You can tell me stuff, send me stuff, or both of them at the same time at

It's all anonymous, no information whatsoever is recorded. The ID you are allocated is randomly generated, and just lets me say "Hey ID1234, I agree with you" and things like that.

So, might as well feed him some facts, eh?

On bats and bunnies
General | Posted 14 years agoRabbits are cool, I like rabbits.
Something I always found interesting was the number of strange similarities between bats and rabbits. After all, they're both pretty small, pretty fluffy, have tiny tails, big ears and silly teeth.
I like rabbits. :D

Oops, I just did another dump of bat favourites.
Meanwhile, I've noticed that I haven't drawn goddamn anything for ages, something which I ought to rectify at some point. Especially since I gotta show off what the hell a Honduran Grey looks like. Hot damn.

Who wants Street Fighter II for the Mega Drive/Genesis?
General | Posted 14 years agoFor folks who didn't read the journal I posted two weeks ago, I now spend my days trawling through women's clothing at the local charity shoppe.
Today, we received a large bag of donated CDs and VHSs, ranging from It's a Wonderful Life to Rod Stewart's Greatest Hits. And yet, buried deep in this bag was something one would not expect to find - Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition for the Sega Mega Drive. It was the only game in the bag.
We don't sell recent games, much less games for a console released over 20 years ago, and we just chuck that stuff away, so I saved it from the landfill. As it happens, I'm no fan of the Street Fighter series, also I haven't owned a Mega Drive for about 10 years, so I have no use for it.
So hell, I'll give it away. Who wants it?
It's missing the manual and the case is pretty beaten up, and I can't say whether the cartridge actually works or anything. I'll pay for postage in the UK, but I'll probably ask you to pay for international postage.

SLIGHT FURSONA MODIFICATION
General | Posted 14 years agoI don't really change Grey that much nowadays, and when I do the changes tend to be reversed fairly quickly. I've stumbled into a fursona that I'm fairly happy with, but there are still niggling little issues that have bugged me for a while now. So hey, I might as well fix some of them.
First of all... I've decided to change species...
...species of bat, that is. SHOCK HORROR.
Up until now I've claimed to be a Lesser Long-Tongued Fruit Bat (Macroglossus sobrinus), which look a little something like this.
I've since decided to change to be the Honduran White Bat (Ectophylla alba), which look OH MY GOD SO FREAKING CUTE.
Not much has really changed, except that I'm a leaf-nosed batbat now (which will finally end the problems I have picking a damn nose-style to use, I never liked the sobrinus-style schnoz), and I remain a fruit eater - just from the New World now, and not south-east Asia.
Of course, this change will bring up one glaring discrepancy ... white bats aren't grey. I'm just gonna compromise with light grey, and hey, some Hondurans come in grey to begin with, so it's not really cheating.
Secondly, the default weight is coming down from the previously set base of 350lbs, down to 200lbs. This would be just slightly heavier than the average weight for a Honduran white -- if it were 4 foot tall, anyway.
As backwards as it may sound, I'm getting a little bored of Grey always being depicted as a butterball, I'm not always in a fatass mood, and I probably should have given some leeway for such an eventuality in previous incarnations.
Thirdly, I'm still thinking more about clothing. While I'm unlikely to make any set of clothing consistent, I think Grey has gone topless for far too long and will probably have a go at some classy new threads.
Yay evolutionary character development!

Volunteer bat
General | Posted 14 years agoWell, seeing as working jobs are still thin on the ground (only two businesses in the village are hiring, and one of them has already rejected my application) I've decided to do some volunteering - y'know, to buck up the ol' Curriculum Vitae (or resumé to you Yanks). Plus all this sitting around is getting kind of boring, daytime TV sucks.
