this is an unfinished model of a castle.

I have quite a few little projects. They include building my dollhouse, then starting to work on my jigsaw puzzles, making a Romanov family tree with all the grand dukes/grand duchesses, and my current reading projects are Asimov's extended Foundation series, Mrs.Murphy series, Plaidy's Queens of England/Stuart novels, and From Splendour to Revolution. And of course, watching the entire Monk series, as well as Law & Order CI(the ones on dvd, anyway, for now), and Pokemon, and adding to my collections.

Cool castle, dead. I can't think of anything that I could post.

I'm working on a chain shirt, but I don't have a camera handy so no pictures.

well, I do have a game that I'm on/off with.

This has maybe a total of 20-30 hours of work or so.

It's supposed to be a zombie game, but it all depends on how much I work on it. Theres one weapon, just a simple pistol. Then theres health, and up to 50 other npcs that will respond to getting shot with fire. The player physics is just about finished for now.

It's written in dark basic, which is a programming language thats alot easier to learn and use then C++, or even java.


edit: well since me and the image thing are going are seperate ways, I guess for now I'll just need to use an imageshack link. Hopefully it stays up

I'm about one fifth of the way through a properly alliterative (or at the very least assonant) translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Finding it very slow going - I did a rough translation of the whole thing, but going from that rough stage to a proper poem is laborious, I keep having to check the meanings of words, every line needs to be grammatically altered and the alteration has to alliterate, and the original author could get away with things like spelling Gawain "Wawan" when he wanted, and had about a dozen words for "man" to choose from.

I also have a handful of miniatures halfway painted - I got a sudden urge to paint some a couple of months back (having not done so for a decade), zoomed through about fifty and halfway did a bunch more before getting bored. Limited duration obsessions. Also got a load of werewolf films to watch usw., books to read, generally got far too much I want to do but I end up sucked into computer games as much as ever. /wry

cool I would be delighted to see them
wow there is alot of diverse creativeness going on here!

Cool castle! Even if it's not done. I'm interested to see the dollhouse too.

As for me I'm creating a little region of my own. It could be used for anything like stories but it's main purpose is to be a place to go to in my lucid dreams. So, no pictures because first I can't draw well and second everything'll be happening in my mind. I'm still developing things but I got the general idea for all seven towns. Each based on a color of the rainbow and five off the personality of the person I chose to be mayor of the town. I think I'll let my subconscious fill in details because then I don't have a say in the matter really so it'll be fun to see what I get. And I don't want to type up every detail. It's my head so I'll remember it most likely. So far I've yet to pay a visit to this place which is somewhat good seeing as it's not yet done.

update these were taken this week when I began to etch/ingrave the stone design with the

etcher/ingraving machine:

here is me holding the small yet tricky machine(tricky because it whirrs about and to get the ingraving properly my hand has to be as staedy as a surgeons which when im nervous (project could fall apart if i go too deep) it is not):

another image taken up close:

I've been too absorbed in work and games to do anything creative lately. The last thing was over a year ago now.

Thanks. It is a self portrait.
I wish I could be comfortable with doing small things. I always end up fixated on something for hours on end.
