Hello my friendlies,

Firstly thank you very much for my birthday messages I think they were excellent! My birthday was good, apart from the fact that I WAS AT WORK.

So yes I have turned 24 which is acceptable as this means i am still early 20's not mid-late 20's. Many things have happened recently, my life has changed quite drastically!

I have moved to a place called Warrington in Cheshire, I am in my own house and I have a nice shiny car! I feel as though I have landed on my paws! Work is fantastical as usual, I still love my job.

Anyway...back to srs business. I am very excited, because tomorrow I will be back in the DA world after a long time chatting with some excellent artist on the AskTheArtist facebook page. Detailz below...

Full detailz: [link]

I will not be able to make the whole chat, but I will be there for a while answering questions. If you are free and want to come along, i will be joined by some of my favourite people, , , , , and many more! full list here: [link]

Come and join if you are freeee, see you tomorrow.

Curry Chips

by ~Slinkers, Oct 17, 2012, 4:44:13 PM
Journals / Personal

I need to run something by you...because I am starting to think I have a medical problem which causes people who work in food shops to detest me.

I was in Matlock, Derbyshire the other day to watch a fancy light show. Was with the family, it was a nice evening, we went to a chipy shop for tea.

I walked into the chipy shop and knew almost immediately that there was only one thing I wanted...no fishy, no pies, no chickens...all I wanted was curry chips. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I see nothing wrong with wanting curry chips for tea. Many people eat curry chips. Curry chips are tasty.

I approached the chippy girl behind the counter, she asked what I wanted. I said curry chips. She nodded, got a plate and put lots of chips on it. It was all going very smoothly. She put the plate in front of me and said "I will just get the curry for your curry chips" and walked away.

She returned with a empty plastic pot and started to fill the pot with curry. I looked at her and said "don't worry, i'll just pour the curry straight on to my chips," and held out my hand to take the pot from her. She stopped and looked at me. She said "...You want to pour it straight onto your chips?"

Baring in mind we were eating inside the shop (hence the plate, not a takeaway box) I thought it was perfectly reasonable to reply "Yeah, there's no point in me taking the curry pot over to the table, I'll just pour it onto my chips while I'm here."

The chippy girl looked at me with utter disgust. I have never seen such a look of outrage from a chippy girl. My cousin actually started to laugh, but she shot him a look, and he stopped fastly.

I said "Is that ok? I just dont want to carry the pot over to the table"

She passed the pot at me and just...stood there...watching me...as I poured the curry onto my chips. She didnt move at all as I poured the curry, it was like she was watching something die slowly. She looked ill. I handed the pot back to her, she took it from me in silence.

"Thanks" I said.

She said nothing.

I walked to a table and sat down...I replayed the entire thing over in my head as I waited for the others to get their food. When they sat down, I asked what I had done wrong. They had no idea. In fact, my cousin had gravy chips and apparently she had poured the gravy straight onto his chips with no issues.

I have conducted some scientific research and have discovered that when you type "curry chips" into the googles and check images...the images are all of chips covered in curry. There are no chips with a POT of curry sitting nearby. The curry is all over the chippy chips. All over. Messy curry, all over the place, no pots, no containers, no nothing.

Please see exhibit A:

As you can see, in exhibit A the curry is not in a pot. The curry has been poured expertly over the chippy chips.

Please see exhibit B:

...Further evidence to suggest that curry chips are, in their natural form, chips covered in curry. No pots necessary.

4 days later I suspect it was the pouring of the curry from the pot that she didnt like...but I'm sorry...what the hell was she expecting me to do with a pot of curry? Did she think iwas going to sip the curry from it? Did she think I was going to dip my chippy chips into it? No. I was clearly wanting curry chips...which is chips covered in curry.

After this and the incident with Subway girl ([link]) I am starting to think there is something horribly wrong with me.

Well HERRO.

How are you?
I am fine, how are you?
I'm ok I guess...
...What's wrong?
Oh nothing...
Are you sure? You seem down...
No no...just...well...never mind....
OK THEN JEEZ

Ahem.

Quick one in between these dreaded night shifts I am currently working!! I am getting notes from numerous people asking whether or not they can use my comics/animations for school projects/YouTube Vids/Personal Projects.... But by the time I've managed to get on DA to read your notes a few weeks have passed!

Know now and forever...so that you no longer need to send notes...and I no longer need to feel epic guilt for not spotting your notes sooner... You can use any of my drawings for any purpose you want, so long as you stick my Slinky name on it.

If you are using it for a school project - do whatever the hells you like.

If you are making T-Shirts - stick "Slinkers" under the pic. You can even sell them, I care not!!

The only thing I mildly dislike is people pretending that they are the person who drew/made the art...that kind of behaviour makes my slinky tail curl up in discomfort...and ninjas will most definitely be sent to teach you a lesson...

....and even then I'm not particularly arsed!! Take pity on those who lower themselves by pretending to be something they're not.

In other nooz......

Ummmm....JKRowlings new book?

I am on page 48 and already wanting to self harm....

My heart...it is breaking!!

I miss you my friends...and I'm sorry I've not been able to have fun with you on here in a while. Being a grown up is tough and keeps me away from my beloved computer. Job is relentless, but fortunately I love it still. It is interesting and keeps me thinking. I've just had an unpleasant month however, in which my perception of things has been challenged slightly.

I think I've been a bit naive! When I was younger I believed that adults were fantastic in general. I admired them and couldnt wait to join them! ...Then when you do join them you realise that a lot of them are just as petty, unprofessional and judgemental as 12 year old children.

I have been put in a position in which I had to challenge a department of people made up of 40 - 50 year olds...and I came out the other end as the calmer more professional individual. I received emails from these people which were so angry that i'd had the audacity to challenge them...they resembled notes scribbled by high school bully's.

Adults are not what they're cracked up to be...if you're young you should aim to rise above the attitudes of people in their 40's who think they can stamp on you because you are young. I hope I never become like those people. They are a let down.

The stress of this month has reminded me of how much easier life is when I was a student! I remember being able to chill at school/uni, come home and make a comic about my current favourite thing.

Then again there is also something amazing about being able to earn your own money, run your own life and most importantly...work alongside people who are 20 years your senior, proving that you're as competant as them in the career you've chosen!

I had a week off last month in which came to see England. She has had an interesting idea which I intend to take part in here on DA!

She plans to interview certain artists, it gives you a chance to ask questions of them about their art and them as people. First interview is with !

Either way dudes I am still alive, happy and well. I miss you lots!

Slinkers Needs You -UPDATE-

by ~Slinkers, Feb 4, 2012, 8:06:09 AM
Personal Journal

Mwaaahahah I knew I could rely on you. After wading through the auditions - there were more than I expected, thanks guys! I've found at least 3 amazing voicers for animations. Waiting to hear back from them with some further auditions, but I can say that if they are up for the challenge, there will be Death Note, Harry Potter, Sherlock and Iron Man animations coming in the near future.

Well done to all who sent me an audition, there were some fantastic ones and some hilarious ones...(you know who you are). If anyone still wants to have a try, feel free to send me your voice, I have by no means run out of characters that could be voiced. Just send your auditions to thevoicesarewise@hotmail.co.uk if you fancy a go!

------------------------------------------------------------------

Is your voice as smooth as a baby's bottom? Is your voice as clean as a recently washed pair of boxers? Is your voice silky like a silk worm on a silky pillow? Is your voice like the voice of a 70 year old smoker with a large toad jammed inside playing an out of tune fiddle?

If your answer to the above is: Yes, Yes, Yes and No.....I am in need of your assistance.

Your Slinkers is recruiting. It is turning to you for help. It is in need....of some voice actors. Voice actors who are willing to take part in a series of Sherlock/Iron man/Death Note and Harry Potter animations. I am also planning an Avengers animation in preparation for the movie that comes out later this year.

I can not pay you...I can not give you hugs...I can not even pat you on the head with pride.....but i can sure as hell write your name in the credits and link people to your profile pages. We will need to converse on Skype. As a result we may even get to know each other as buddies. You will hear my exceptionally dull british voice over the tinternets and we will make magical things for our fellow deviants! You will most certainly become part of the creative process and your ideas and input will be appreciated!

If you have your own microphone and you are willing to join me on this animation quest of a life time, all you have to do is record yourself saying a line from any of the movies/anime/manga/novels as the following characters:

L from Death note - say any line you want from the anime/manga.

Light from Death note - same as above

Iron Man and Pepper Potts (and any hero from the Avengers) - Any line from one of the movies. Tony Stark is a cocky mother-trucker, so it needs to come across in your voice acting.

Harry, Ron, Luna, Sirius, Lupin, Snape, Hermione, Dumbledore, McGonogall from the Potter books.

Sherlock and John Watson from either the BBC version or Downey Jr films.

(If you want to do any other characters at all in the world, just do them! Could be characters from bleach or naruto if you wanted, I'm not fussed. We could throw some random characters in here and there.)

You do not have to sound accurate...you just need to sound amusing. You could go completetly wild and over the top, or you can stick close to how they really sound.

Just play with it, have fun, do multiple versions if you like. Males and females needed! If you are a female wanting to try to act as one of the male characters (or vice versa), give it a go!

If you are wanting to take part, record your lines and send them to thevoicesarewise@hotmail.co.uk in MP3 format! Best if you download Audacity - it's free, safe and reliable!

Lets play! Also: Behold this magical pumpkin of win: [link]

Hello my friends, long time no speak! (TOO LONG, I MISS MY DEVIANT FRIENDLIES)

I have been a busy Slinkers, training up for my new job with the Police. I been having lots of funs. I got a new car and I start my job in full next Monday. I am typing this to you from my house, home alone, and there is one hell of a storm going on outside...if it wasnt for my fierce guard cat, Tootie, I would be hyperventilating. It's the kind of thunder which happens right after the lightening so I know it's happening over our town... D:

As some of you may know, the most IMPORTANT day of the Slinky year is coming - HALLOWEEN. I have said this many times before, but I will repeat...you must plan your halloweenz EARLY. I am sick of hearing excuses from people who fail to properly plan and document their halloween plans in advance. You people only have yourselves to blame if your Halloween turns out to be full of lame and no sweeties. You must work HARD to achieve your Halloweeny dreams. Blueprints! Notes! Revise plans with friends and relatives! Carry out a practice Halloween if you feel it will help...just MAKE SURE IT IS AWESOMES.

I have personally been planning my pumpkin since May and have reached a few alternative designs. However, I have let myself down in that the design for my 5th Pumpkin (I do 5 each year) has not been decieded. As a result, I need suggestions from you, my wise deviants. Leave some ideas in the comments, and the best suggestion will become my Pumpkin Challenge! I will upload pictures on Halloween day, so lemmie know what you think would look cool. Be creative!

I've seen some wicked wicked wicked rage comic pumpkins on the internets...is it bad that I CAN'T STOP READING RAGE COMICS? I can't sleep without reading about 6 of them a night! I'm freaking obsessed. If you have no idea what Rage Comics are...#1: you have not lived....#2: we must correct your life and send you a rage link: [link]

If you have an iPhone, get the rage faces and rage comic apps, they are TOP NOTCH.

Also, I am looking for new horror books to read during this spooky month. Any good ones you can suggest would be good!

SEND ME YOUR PUMKINNY IDEAS DEWDS, and if you have any pumpkin plans of your own, send me pictures/blueprints/evidence of your mastah plans. Pumpkins are serious business. If you haven't planned your Pumpkin yet, you are not prepared enough. I cannot stress the importance of this...PLAN. PREPARE. SUCCEED.

iDucky Released!!

by ~Slinkers, Jun 28, 2011, 8:51:03 AM
Journals / Personal

EXCITING TIMES, iDucky is loose in the App store!

If you have an iPhone, iTouch/Pod or iPad you can now download him for FREE from the app store here:

Or simply type 'iDucky' into the app store search bar and he will pop up.

Remember, I have put him up for free for you guys because of all of the Ducky support you have given me. But he is only free until Thursday 30th so get him way before then!

However the most important thing for me is:

If you download iDucky, Please do your Slinkers a massive favour, and LEAVE A REVIEW. You can do this in the App Store, at the bottom of the page underneath the sample pictures there is a review button. All you have to do is type a sentance saying what you think, and give it a vote out of 5! Would take 30 seonds!

The more reviews it gets, the better the app will sell later on after you've all got your free versions. Also, you will notice on the "About" page of the app there is a share button. Please click that, sign into facebook, and share iDucky with your school friends, work colleagues and members of your family. It will just put ducky in a status and you can write whatever message you want!

I really hope you enjoy the app, dudes, and if you have any suggestions for sounds on version 2, leave a comment here or send us a message from the website: [link]

I'M STUPIDLY HAPPY, I can't believe it's actually in the app store jeez. Anything is possible my friends!

Amazon Fail vs Car Fail

by ~Slinkers, Jun 23, 2011, 4:11:08 PM
Journals / Personal

Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Twitter will already know this, but I have experienced an Amazon Fail of epic proportions. However, something else has happened to me this week that none of you know about. I have also experienced an epic car fail. I can't quite figure out which fail was more heanous, so I will discuss both and leave the decision to you.

Fail 1: Amazon

Three weeks ago I was in the Leisure Centre, (my new place of work) and I was talking to one of the pool's lifguards about the telly box. The lifeguard was called Dan, and he said to me "You know what, Slinkers? I'm sick of the TV. There's nothing good on these days."

I nodded in agreement as a very fat man waddled out of the changing rooms in a very tight pair of speedo's. "I can't find any decent series to get into," he continued, eyeing the fat mans backside suspiciously. "I tried that 'criminal minds' show but it got boring after two episodes."

"Yeah I'm not watching anything good at the moment, either." I sighed. "Although that "Game of Thrones" series looks pretty good."

Dan whirled around and grabbed my shoulders all of a sudden. He got right up close to my face and hissed, creepily; "haveyoureadthebook?"

I stared at him for a little while. "...No?"

"You should totally read it." he murmered, still staring at my face.

"...Maybe I will--"

"No, Slinkers." He whispered. "There is no maybe. You will read that book." The other lifeguards had started to stare, and Dan was still leaning uncomfortably close to my face, so I felt like going along with what he was saying in the hopes that he'd relax.

"OK, dan. I'll read the book."

"It's not just one book." He continued, glancing around as though this was top secret information. "It is a series of books."

"Oh right. How many?"

"Seven," he spat excitedly.

"Wow, seven?"

"Yes. You must read them all."

"The last time I read a seven book series it took me ten years," I said.

"Don't tell me they were the Harry Potter books..."

"Well, yes."

"Jeez. Listen, This series wont take ten years cause most of books are already out."

"That's not the point--"

"Slinkers! You can't watch the series without reading the books. You can't. The books are amazing. They are ten times better than Harry Potter. They are epic awesome in ways you will never understand until you have read them. Now get out your phone and order the first book."

"Dan, I--"

"DO IT SLINKERS."

"OK, JESUS CHRIST."

So I whipped out my phone and bought "A game of thrones" from amazon.

Delivery date: "June 10 - June 15"

On JUNE 22ND, the package arrives. By now I have read online about the series and have become extremely excited about reading the first book. I was even more excited because the book was late. I dunno why the lateness made it more exciting but whatever, that's how it went. The package could not have been covered in more sellotape. I got out the snippers, hacked away at the wrappings. Didn't even bother to open the invoice. Yanked the book out, held it up the light in all it's shining glory...to see this:

A blatant CHUNK of the book, missing.

If my cousin, sisters and mother hadn't been there at the moment of the unwrapping, I may have done a suicide. Instead,  I uploaded the picture to Fail Blog: [link]

Fail 2: Car

A horrendous argument between myself and my cousin was in full swing. I was so angry, I'd stormed out of the house and got into my car. Started engine, rolled down window, looked at her cooly, said "I dont have time for this. I'm a busy person."

Start to drive away smugly, having had the last word.

Stalled.

Car rolls to an embarrasing stop.

Cousin cackles viciously as I restart engine and drive away in humiliation.

Fail week? Yes.

Hey fellers, exciting times in Slinky Land!

The iDucky app has finally been sent off to Apple for review and hopefully, if all goes well, it'll be in the AppStore within the next 10 days!

Here's the deal though, and this is important! If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod/Touch you need to keep an eye on the iDucky Facebook page:

This is because for the first two days the App will be free for you all. If you don't get it in the first two days you'll have to pay 59p (99cents) to get it on your device.

I can also announce the opening of the iDucky Website:

Just want to thank all of you for the Ducky support, I hope you enjoy the app if you can get it. You dudes without apple products, I'm very seriously looking into setting up iDucky for the android market so fingers crossed there!

Slinky Surrender

by ~Slinkers, Jun 17, 2011, 11:21:32 AM
Journals / Personal

EDIT: Click 'Like' on the new iDucky App Page! The app will be free for a very limited period of time, so if you want to get it while it costs nothing you'll need to keep an eye on that page dudes!

Here it is :

The fight has been long...the trauma...has been deep. The mental anguish has been extreme and my Slinky fists can swipe no more. For the vast machine of Facebook has defeated your Slinkers. I am a puddle of defeat. A creature of humiliation. I am hunched in a corner...rocking like a madcat...sipping cold coffee and rejecting all cucumber offerings (for fear of e.coli infections)

...HOWEVER, behind every dark cloud there is a slinky lining. When Facebook saw me in my messy, defeated state..it took pity and offered me a solution. It said;

"Look Slinkers...it's not so bad. You can create a new facebook page and this time we wont delete it."

"Yeah right..." I sniffed. "As if I'm going to trust you now, after everything you've done."

Facebook frowned. "Slinkers, believe me. I won't delete your Facebook page ever again. I won't be able to delete it...not if you do exactly what I say."

"I'm not kissing your boots again, Facebook."

"No, I'm not talking about that," Facebook replied. "I'm talking about something much more amazing."

I looked up at Facebook from my corner of sadness curiously. "...Go on?"

"I'm talking about...a legitimate Facebook page. One that you can make and keep forever. I'm talking about...an artists page."

I stared at Facebook in wonder. "An...artists page?"

"Yes!" replied Facebook excitedly. "You can make an artist page...a "Slinkers" artist page. Then people can press the "like" button and recieve updates from you once again!"

I could hardly believe my ears. It wasn't ideal. It wasn't my old facebook page. It wasn't what I really wanted...but it was definitely interesting. Maybe my Facebook days weren't over at all. Maybe, if I did what Facebook said, I could communicate with all of my old Facebook friends once again! "This better not be a trick, Facebook." I said.

"Slinkers..." Facebook replied, solemnly. "I know we've had our differences...I know didn't handle the deletion of your old account in a very nice way...I know I am an arrogant, intrusive, unpleasant kind of website...and I know you are a super cool person who totally didn't deserve to lose your facebook account without a warning."

It took a deep breath and paused. "But I think we can both learn from my mistakes and move on from this issue with happy faces. It isn't a trick. It is, quite simply, the answer to all of your problems."

Facebook extended it's hand to help me up...and after a moment of slinky deliberation, I took it.

"Ok man," I replied, getting to my feet. "Can you say that bit again about how I'm a super cool person?"

"You're a super cool person, Slinkers" said Facebook.

And we walked off into the sunrise.

You can follow the Slinkers artists facebook page by pressing 'Like' here:

"By the way Facebook..." I said, as we walked into the sunlight. "You're not planning to delete my Ducky Duckster facebook page are you?"

Facebook glanced at me.  ".......Of course not."

My Facebook account has been murdered.

by ~Slinkers, May 30, 2011, 12:56:56 PM
Journals / Personal

So apprently...my Slinky Slinkers Facebook account breaks the FB rules and as a result, it has been nuked.

Apparently I am not allowed to have a Facebook Account unless I use my "real name". As you all know, my real name is nothing other than "Slinkers" so I am feeling bruised by this accusation. So what if I cant find my Slinky Birth Certificate? I was born a Slinkers...I will die a Slinkers....and so I think I have the right to join facebook as nothing other than a Slinkers.

I am investigating whether or not I can fight to have my account back, but it's not looking good. Without a birth certificate, Drivers License or another form of ID proving that my name is Slinkers they said they will not revive my page.

I would like to take this moment to say that I believe Facebook is missing a trick here. People all over the world create duel identities on the internet. I should be able to communicate with you, my friends from the internet, through my identity as Slinkers.

Yes, I could create a "fan page". Yes that would be allowed under Facebooks rules. However, that removes a level of communication I have with you. I don't want a list of "fans" I want a list of "friends". I avoided the fan page route for this very reason.

Facebook is effictively saying "NO. You can only be one person. One identity. One face. One name. One set of friends."

I am at risk of sinking into a Slinky depression over this unexpected turn of events. Not only has my Slinky identity been sat on by the fat arse of Facebook - but the cucumbers of the world have been infected by E.coli: [link]

WHAT IS GOING ON? I need a coffee.

Today I went to the supermarket to get some foods (cucumbers) and I have to admit, I was in a weird mood.

I hadn't been sleeping great, I had itchy eyes, I'd spent another week hunting for better jobs with no success...and I'd stubbed my toe on my way out of the house. As a result, I was feeling and acting like a bit of a zombee. I just wanted to get the hell out of the supermarket and back home for a snooze as fast as possible. The shop was fairly quiet, so I got all the stuff I needed and went to the checkout.

As I stood in the queue, the couple in front of me remembered about a million things they had forgotten and kept scooting off to grab them. I suppose they saw that I was the only one waiting and decided it'd be OK to hold me up. No problem. I really didn't mind. I just stood there and waited like a good Slinkers. In fact, I sort of forgot where I was and went into a daydream.

All of a sudden, a man in his 50's appeared at the till opposite me. I happened to look up from my cucumbers to see that he was wearing a 'weird fish' jumper very similar to one my dad wears. Unfortunatly in my dozey state, I must've been staring at him, because when I looked at his face I realised that he was looking at me angrily.

I have drawn a picture of the situation below:

As you can see, myself and the man were pretty much opposite each other. When our eyes met I was shocked, because I hadn't expected him to be looking at me. Then something horrific happened.

Neither of us looked away.

We just stared. I realised very quickly that I had unwittingly stumbled into a staring contest with this angry man. He looked like he was in a foul mood and had no intention of being the first to look away...but I was so confused by what was going on, it didn't cross my mind to look away either.

After what felt like a couple of years, he must have decided that he'd had enough of the staring, because he slammed his tin of tuna onto the till and said, "What the hell are you looking at?" His words seemed to travel half way across the building and everyone nearby, including the forgetful couple, stopped what they were doing to stare at us both.

I honestly had no idea what to say, so I sort of blurted out the words "weird fish jumper".

Suddenly he looked doubly offended and I instantly felt compelled point out that his jumper was made by weird fish, and that I wasn't actually describing his clothing as weird and fishy. But before I could speak again he had started slamming all his shit onto the till. Then he looked at the forgetful couple (who were now also staring at him) and said "What? Have I got something sticking out of my head?!"

I had picked the wrong guy to stare at, he was going crazy talking to himself. The till guys looked at each other and grinned, like it was the best thing they'd seen all day. Then of course I had to start packing my shopping and paying the till peoples with this guy muttering to himself right opposite me the whole time.

It was possibly the most awkward thing that's ever happened to me at a till. Unfortunately me and this guy finished packing and paying at around about the same time, so right as I started walking towards the exit, he did as well. He was stomping literally a few inches behind me, i kept thinking his feet would catch the back of my shoes, and he did that all the way out until I got near my car.

Absolute nutter. Totally crazy. I had comitted a terrible crime starting at him and he wanted me to know it.

Worst of all, I live in a small town. We will probably meet again.

On the plus side, I didn't feel tired anymore!

I cooked a chicken

A whole one. Today. In the kitchen. I was terrified.

In the fridge sat the raw chicken and I picked it up. I read the date on the plastic...08/04/2011. Tomorrow. The chicken would go off tomorrow. I decided that it was my duty to cook that chicken. If I didn't cook it, it would have died for nothing.

Who actually knows how to cook a chicken anyway? They say it's easy but it's not. I'll tell you what's easy, it's easy to cook a tin of beans. Just stick the tin of beans in your microwave, set it going, wait for the explosion and poof: a cooked tin of beans.

A chicken though...that's different. What the hell do you put on the chicken before you cook it? Salt...pepper...butter...lemon...lime...marmite...ALL OF THESE THINGS were suggested on the internets. In the end I settled for salt and pepper.

So i smudged salt and pepper into the chicken skins. Then I found a deep tray like the ones pictured in google images. I put the chicken into the tray, sat it on tin foils cause I didn't want to have to clean the tray. Then I read on the internet that I should cover the chicken with foil so that it cooks inside, so I did that too.

Turned oven on, bunged chicken inside, and left it for 1 hr 30 mins.

Jessica my sister walked in. She said "ooh that smells nice...but you should take the foil off the top so that the skin gets all crispy."

"Excellent idea," i said. Took the chicken out, took off the foil, put chicken back in.

2 hours later, when the Matrix finished playing on TV...I thought I could smell something funny coming from the kitchen.

I dunno what happened, I reckon i was too busy watching Neo pull his seriousface ...but someone must have snuck into my house and swapped my amazingly cooked chicken for something that looked like this:

Who the hell did that to me? I really want to know why someone felt compelled to swap my chicken for a burned one. Did they wake up in the morning and decide to destroy my self confidence?

Has this sorcery every happened to you, cause I'd like to know if it has. I'm feeling emo as hell over this clucky disaster.

Mothers Day

DON'T PANIC, it is only Mothers Day in the UK. :'D

Is it bad that I didn't know it was mothers day today until 5pm yesterday afternoon?

PANIC ensued in my Slinkery world, but it was OK...i had a towel. Today I made my ma ---> a cup of tea, some nice food stuff and I got her a prezzy. I AM A GOOD SPAWN.

Tell me my UK friendlies, what have you done for yo momma's? If you are not in the UK - tell me what you WILL do for yo momma's when Mothers Day comes.

Here is a Mothers Day animation me and Joel made about two years ago. We had just watched The Watchmen for the first time and we were...in a creepy mood >:} ---> [link]

Because sometimes a pot plant just isn't enough.

I was thinking deep thoughts on Friday, home alone in my house. My deep thoughts were of a range of things, starting from the crisis of my empty coffee pot and drifting into the more serious crisis in Japan.

Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn my friendlies. Sometimes people die too soon. It's difficult to accept that life is this unfair when someone close to you has been lost - but when something as random and out of control as an earthquake causes the death of many people you've never met, you're forced to appreciate the cold hard fact that we are all mortal, and we could vanish at any time.

I think of all the people who died in the disaster and imagine if it had happened in my area, to the people I love, and at first I freaked out a little bit at the shittiness of the entire situation. However, I'm not a negative person, and I refuse to let such a terrible event change my outlook on life.

I think what I'm trying to say, (without trying to cause unnecessary negativity or sadness,) is that I appreciate every moment I have left in this world - I appreciate every person I speak to in life - and I appreciate the amazing experience of getting to know you people from all over the world on the internet.

Sometimes it feels important to say these things - because life is a fickle, life is brief, but life is also good...We should make the most of what we have and the time that we are given.

That's as emo as I'm ever likely to get brudders, so I will stop there!

Now I must act fast, get to the supermarket, and buy myself a pot of coffee. This lack of caffeine has deep-thought side effects!
