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.
Although this picture was taken through a scratched up airoplane window at 30,000 feet I think it's still a god picture. I took several shots because the view was changing so rapidly as is the way of sunsets but in the air so much more so. I like the colours on this one, it was the most purple of the set.

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.

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 ;)
Wow, it's March but already the book tree is heavy with reading. I've already read four so don't worry about the branches breaking.
The Terry Pratchett book delved a bit into the morality of shooting things & aliens & persons in video games -- or at least the effect this might have on the players.
The Mystery Guest by Gregoire Bouillier was sort of Proustian (like a paragraph from the master - though Proust's alter-ego sucks in so much more of the outside world).
Close Range by Annie Proulx is probably now her most famous collection of short stories, ending with "Brokeback Mountain" which appeared first in the New Yorker. I really enjoyed the stories, though got that strange double vision feeling when reading Brokeback. The movie stays quite close to the story.
Silent Extras is the second novel from Arnon Grunburg. It feels like another dispatch from the protagonist of Blue Monday and feels a little less urgent, almost an addendum, but I still find his picaresque writing oddly compelling.
The other books to read are: The New Weird, an anthology of the sci-fi/fantasy sub genre, edited by Jeff VanderMeer (also a practitioner) and Ann VanderMeer; Occidentalism: The West in the Eyes of its Enemies by Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit; Volume III of Proust (finally back at it); Tanith Lee's The Birthgrave (the book I should have read before Vazkor, Son of Vazkor); and Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny (Siddhartha and sci-fi??).

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.

Editor: tanith k
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.

Inside her tower she feels free from harm,
I'll lock her up inside safe and warm,
She'll sleep for winter she'll sleep for years,
The garden's overgrown over her tears.
Hide from time.
Grow the garden year after year,
The roots dug deep she won't be found down here,
Brambles thorns will keep the boys away hey hey,
She needs her sleep she won't play today.
Hide from time,
I'll keep her heart I'll keep it in one piece,
I'll be with her through years and years of sleep,
I'll make this moment last I'll beat time,
I'll be with her forever make her mine.
Hide from time,
(S. Carter/ K.J. Garside)
All the Ghosts I've built so far. Once some parts arrive they'll be joined by Ana Curth, Tolin Dorden, Shoggy Domor, Jessi Banda, Ayatani Zweil and Saint Sabbat herself.
(Then I'll have to think about building Soric, Milo, Merrt, Nessa, Kolea, Daur, Ven, Mkoll, Muril, Bonin, Dalin and Lijah Fething Cuu.)
