This is where I whiled away my 27th birthday. I even got a cake.
I've started to get a few hits on this picture from search engines so I thought I'd try and be a bit helpful to anyone wondering about whether or not they should come here. Firstly, it is beautiful and this picture hardly does justice to how stunning this little island is. It is isolated, quiet and very relaxed. There are 3 hotels on the island but they're all small though the amenities are very good. Though I don't dive apparently it is excellent here. There's also some nice jungle walks but be sure you have a good sense of direction!
the only downside to this place is that because there are no restaurants etc. there are only the set meals at the hotel. These tend to be poor. If you don't like spicy food you're out of luck and if you have a half decent appetite pray there's a few anorexics at the table because portions are pitiful. I like spicy food and don't eat much so I was fine but my beasutiful boyfriend suffered somewhat. Be prepared to pay a lot extra for snacks which you'll have to argue to get!
They do take credit cards and the Swiss guy at Kadidiri Paradise is really accommodating of people's needs.
Oh, and if you're going from Ampana the cash machine doesn't accept Western debit cards.
All in all, if you have the opportunity, go. It's stunning.

On Gili Meno, to get to the little internet place - the only one on the island, you had to walk past a whole bust full of these enormous spiders. They're around as big as your face. No exaggeration. Terrifying.
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see
There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor
He's come to a sticky end
Don't think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl 'round
He's embedded in the ground

Salang Beach, Pulau Tioman, Malaysia

In order to travel through Asia it is wise to have a guide book and for this most people choose Lonely Planet. Whilst this has been helpful on many an occasion the Malaysia issue is, for want of a better word, dire. LP describes Salang as a party place but this is decidedly untrue (unless the wildest you get is listening to locals do their best cat-strangling impression on karaoke machines), whereas it is in fact a beautiful and quiet part of the island where there is no motorised transport and life is laid-back and peaceful.
This is not the worst mistake LP have ever made by a long shot. It is quite obvious when 'researchers' have done little other than take a short taxi drive and gone and gotten drunk i.e. most of the book.
This was most obvious in exploring the Cameron Highlands where the book advised us in one instance that after a significant jungle hike once you reached the road it was a mere 2km to the tea plantation - an ideal place for a nice drink after a long walk. Taking the book's advice upon reaching the road we set out for the Boh tea plantation. After 2km we reach the first tea bush. After another 2km we reach the entrance to the plantation and after a further 2 km finally find the tea rooms. Six kilometers is decidedly different from two, especially when it is uphill.
We realised, after our pot of tea and catching our breath that the LP researcher had gone as far as the crossroad sign and assumed that 2km was the distance to the place where peole wanted to be in the tea plantation and had not been there themselves.
I'm not complaining, it was fun and makes a good story now that I'm home.
Although I try to be as neutral as possible when it comes to the rules/scoring sports that I do not participate in, I do believe that Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto should have finished 3rd in the Ice Dancing Competition. Easy to say they were robbed but that is just dwelling in a negative place.
More importantly is the way she's conducted herself post event with a grace and style that many can learn from.
Not as photoshopped as you might think. I re-added the lens flare and that's about it!
I half blinded myself doing this, but I'm quite pleased with the result (even if it is another self portrait I wont be using as my About Me splash).
This is the middle of Sa Pa town looking down from a nice little restaurant that did very good honey roast goose. I was very lucky with this picture, the child was just playing with her parasols and looked back at me when she heard the shutter on my camera go so I took another before she could turn back. I think this shows the town in the way that I like to remember it most.

Prototype for Skarwael, the Dark Eldar mandrake assassin (aren't they all technically assassins?) from Sabbat Martyr. I need to buy a proper knife for him, and his torso should have some musculature.
Later: I printed out a torso design, but can't find Skarwael anywhere. Bloody mandrakes and their stealth abilities...
Even Later: Found him lurking under the computer desk.
I'm currently engaged in an extremely nerdy project to make Lego models of the Tanith First and Only from Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts series. Yeah, this is gonna end well ;)

This piece of graffitti is inside S21 a.k.a. Tuol Sleng Genoside Museum.
Usually I don't advocate the wanton destruction of memorials but this was really poignant. There was a bit of KEV '08 and the like but somehow the fact that so many people wanted to comment on the walls of the building about how horrifying and moving S21 was made up for all the idiots.
Shame it could never make up for Pol Pot.

Waaaaah~! Super cute baby! <3 This is my friend's new baby boy! He just turned 2 weeks when I took these photos. He's now a month old! SO FAST! lol <3
He has such pretty eyes. I believe that they were blue on this particular day, but I have seen them grey and green before. Hopefully he'll make up his mind sometime. ;) I think he'll be blue-eyed. Both mom and dad are. <3
I wish I could say that he was well behaved. He -was- but at the same time... He was throwing a fit the entire photoshoot. I managed to get some awesome shots in between his fussing. "Why are we outside? Why are you standing over me? Waaaah!" <3

Okay, so I know that absolutely everybody ever has done the whole tilt-shift thing but never mind; this is my first attempt. It's not excellent but I had fun making it and that's the important thing.
my phone rang five minutes before my first alarm today, revenge from someone who I had accidently called at two or three a.m. last week
Now I am a sleepyhead. mornings. bah.
In spite of the three chests of drawers currently in my bedroom, I've taken to an unfortunate habit of treating my floor the same way I treat all other flat surfaces. Namely, by covering it in stuff. In this case, laundry. Clean laundry. (Or was-clean, rather, as Tanith and Tanaquil have been having a field day curling up in the unfolded towels, purring as they burrow between my shirts and scattered pairs of underwear, getting bits of fur on absolutely every bit of cloth possible.) This leads to a problem in the early morning, when it appears I can function, but deep down I am really not so full of sense. This leads to realizing that the towel I blearily grabbed for the shower is, in fact, a cat, or that the shirt I'm looking for has been somehow twisted through of one of David's socks.
Vientianne, Laos in the dry season.
The Mekong dries up so much that several games of football can be played where in six months a raging river will be.
I took this picture in 'The Sunset Bar' whilst drinking Beer Lao.

Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell was one of my favorite novels read in 2004. This slim and difficult novel is quite different.
Tanith Lee’s Blood of Roses is dark, violent and exquisitely written. Her later novels were not published much in the United States.
Theodora Goss’ novel gently mocks the conventions of whodunnits. The monstrous gentlewomen of the title include the Bride of Frankenstein, Rappaccini’s daughter, one of the animals turned into people by the nefarious Dr Moreau...
Brian Naslund’s novel is a more conventional fantasy than what I usually read these days. But it has dragons, pirates (‘corsairs’), zombies, weird mushrooms, mad scientists and a huge amount of super violence. Nonetheless, it's witty and a fascinating read.
S P Somtow’s extravagant novel is a continuation of a series from the early 80’s. Remember, mankind is a fallen creature and we should not ever hope for utopia.
Emily Tesh’s delicate story riffs on the impingement of the other world Faerie on the Fields We Know.
Forbidden Stars is the final novel of Tim Pratt’s excellent space opera.
Not here: Richard Kadrey’s excellent steampunk-y novel The Grand Dark.
Still plowing through Imajica, about 1/2 done.
Khao San Road, Bangkok, Thailand
I loved the colour in this.
You can buy everything and anything on Khao San Road, this is a very small selection but I like it nonetheless.

I bought Mr. P a bonsai tree last Chinese New Year but unfortunately it picked up a parasite and died a tragic, consumptive death. Here it is, in its final moments.
The beautiful anguaji gave me some slide film when I got back from travelling. I recently got it cross-processed and developed and this picture is one of the resulting photographs.
Fuji Sensia 100 Slide, cross processed as film.
I know I will be accused of a terrible photoshop job here but believe me, the lake in Phnom Penh is green.
This is The Jolly Frog Backpackers Inn on the lake in Phnom Penh and it was one of the nicest places we stayed whilst travelling. It wasn't anything special but for US$5 a night for a double room you don't expect the Ritz. Neither do you expect the friendliest people imaginable, great food, immense fun, almighty storms and to meet awesome people like AJ with whom we then travelled for the next fortnight.
The lake is green due to the algae that live in it although since the Chinese have bought it and are filling it in I think most of the green is now a murky brown due to the disturbances and the sand they have decided to fill it with. It is very sad that such a fantastic scene will not be here any more but I feel priviledged to have seen it, to have stayed in such a lovely guesthouse and to have eaten some damn fine food in the riotous streets surrounding this place.

Inquisitor Handro Rime of the Ordo Hereticus (AKA Syko Magir) who caused Gaunt no end of trouble on Balhaut before being done in by Rawne.
(Actually he may still be around - he survived having his head burnt off by a Blood Wolf, probably through some kind of heretical soul transfer process into one of his identical servants, and may have been able to pull off the same trick again.)
I'm currently engaged in an extremely nerdy project to make Lego models of the Tanith First and Only (and assorted associates and foes) from Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts series. Yeah, this is gonna end well ;)

I absolutely love these guys, their music, artistry, and personalities; they're amazing people. One of my favourite tracks of theirs is Beneath the Blue.
Commissar Hark and his plasma pistol. He needs a decal printed out for his torso, but otherwise not bad.
I think it was his left arm that got chopped off - I'll have to check.
I'm using the head I intended for Rawne. It turns out that Rawne is clean shaven and Hark has a beard so it was a natural solution. Unfortunately it's a two sided head so Hark now appears to be possessed by Lord Voldemort.

Rah Booty is a cheer group that actually has a big national regard. They started at KCAI and then became huge! The first time I saw them, they did a cheer about AIDS and spit brown stuff all over the crowd (I was in the front, naturally). They proceeded to tell us that we too had AIDS now. It was... unique. haha. Here, they were doing their version of Single Ladies originally by Beyonce.
