On Imaginaries.
Post: 1
Posted 4 Minutes Ago by Animbus
It must be the most awful thing to be faced with two options of either suppressing your innermost characteristics, or having no friends!
Fortunatly there's also rule number three which I have discussed briefly with the imaginaries, and they advised me that it was time for a biscuit and a glass of warm milk.
So that got us nowhere. 
Being an animator/illustrator, I have a wonderful excuse for having imaginary friends as an adult. At least, that excuse allows strangers a small measure of comfort that they are not in the company of a maniacal loony... not yet, anyway!
But here I take a stand and advocate that every adult should have the right to bear imaginaries - and not be ashamed of admitting to them. Why do children get all the fun? 
Of course, the imaginary are quite quite separate from the imagined reality - and neither should ever be taken overly seriously. Seriousness is not for the making of the bucket-of-happiness!
Being able to imagine several aspects of yourself, even to the point of conversations amongst.., whilst remaining fully aware of your own personality, is not madness - it's creativity.
I smell milk burning on the stove. The problem with imaginaries is their tendency to wander...

On writing backwards, and 48 hours.
Posted May 31, 2005
Of late, it has given me great pleasure to vex my various friends by sending them DaVinci letters (as I dub them!) - hand written backwards, on nice brownish paper with a dip-pen. 
If you are a calligrapher, I suggest you try it! The things I trip up most on, are the letters b and d, and numbers.
The other thing done of late, was an entry into the local 48 hour film-making challenge! Didn't make it to the finals, (but then again, was up against 120 other teams), yet was still happy with the finished result... and it's animated! (In the most generous use of the word. )
It's been ages since I've been here. Have seen the Hitch-hikers movie, pleased to see Bill Nighy in it!
Yarooh!

Astronomy a.k.a. Why My Sister Rocks!
Posted Mar 28, 2004
So my sister glanced at a constellation map for the Northern Hemisphere, and asked which ones were the three bears...
I found that so absurdly charming (and she's 29!) that I had to do something about it.

Totally made my day.

Expansions on the theme of Trash and Archaeology...
Posted Mar 21, 2004
Not that my room is quite garbage laden - it's just very full of "stuff"!
I am imagining what might be thought, if some freak dumping of ash/lava flow/mudslide/tar pit or sudden peat boggage, were to encapsulate my room, for it to be uncovered by Archaeologists of the Future.
I guess it's a little late in the evening for me to go in depth about it - suffice to say that I hope I have enough warning so as to pose in a confusing manner, for my resurrection as a mummified bog exhibit.
A bog-person in the pose of "doing the lotus with a thumb up each nostril (fingers splayed), tongue protruding", ought to provide decades of research potential.
