The erratic adventures of shay & jax
Finally got Jax's page up. I'm quite enjoying him so far - he's a little bit darker than any of the other character without (hopefully) straying into being one of those deep, brooding, 'troubled' characters that seems to make up one in three Popmundians. Basically he's a guy who was a bit of a fucking idiot as a younger man, who's trying to put it all behind him.
Jackson's faceclaim is Jack Gallowtree, who was suggested by the lady behind the Foulquiers. Not only is Mr Gallowtree a talented tattoo artist and a model, as far as I can tell from reading a few interviews with him, he also seems like a thoroughly nice chap. So, yeah - I pretty much hate him already. :D I also tweaked Shay's page, as I don't think 'wiry' applies any more. Let's just say that he filled out. Also Bagel will be pleased to note that his taste in beer has improved. Speaking of Shay, another single release has been slightly fucked up. This has happened enough now that I'm thinking about fucking them all up, and making it a thing. Lily is still in a relationship with Callum. Shay hasn't found out yet, the poor lummox... :'( The Ashes start dreckly. I was thinking that it was going to be a summer of shoeings, but our performances against New Zealand, and Ryan Harris' retirement has made me wonder if we might just give a good account of ourselves. A win is probably beyond us, but a narrow loss (or even a drawn series) while blooding some new players, that would be a success of sorts. No tattooed women - someone remind me about that next time.

When checking a Weebly character page because you can't remember if they're a neat freak or not. Relationship status: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! (This might be vaguely funny if I'd bothered to sort out the whole Jax thing on this, my own Weebly. :P But, hey! Never let that fact that something isn't funny stop you from teasing people about it, right?) Bagel wants another blog post, and who am I to disobey? Unfortunately, not a lot has happened with V or Shay lately. So...
In the wider popoverse, Rice wrote one of the best blogs ever for Joni. It mixed the usual insanity with old-skool geekiness, and brought a smile to the face of someone who grew up on Steve Jackson's Fighting Fantasy books and text-based adventure games. I know I cuss her, but it's only because I love her. The lady behind the Foulquiers (nee Cookie - as another Cookie has some along I'm going to revert to TLBTF for clarity) is doing some fantastic writing that may expand beyond the popoverse. I had an enjoyable couple of hours proofreading (proofreading being a politer way of saying 'being a picky fuck') some of her stuff last night, and I am looking forwards to seeing where it goes from here. And outside in the real world, the building design that won the two local awards also picked up Best Small Development at the southwest regional awards, and will be going forwards to the national awards in London in November. I've also been asked to be my mate's best man, so I am currently researching pubs and B&Bs in Dartmouth. In the meantime, V is quiet and Shay is quieter. You must all be very relieved! Just as a counter to Rice and Bagel's hate-fuelled rants, I just want to tell you all that I love you. Yes, all of you. Even Naan. Even my N-key which has just started to stick, meaning that I just typed Naannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn and had to delete it. All of you.
ICECREAMCONEZHUGZLULZ!! In other news, there is no other news. What's this about a harem, hmm? Explain yourself, young lady!
Also, I have decided that the use of food-based usernames (apart from mine, obviously) must stop. Therefore:
There, that's that settled. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Me and the boss went to see a burlesque show, put on by local promoters Kinky & Quirky. The event was headlined by Immodesty Blaize who, in my admittedly limited knowledge, is probably the biggest burlesque name in the UK. She was very good, but so were all the acts, and they put on a belting rockabilly band after the show. The promoters encourage guests to dress up, so I rocked some tweed, broke out the cravat and looked a suitably dapper motherfucker, while the boss wore one of her corsets which, well, let's just say that she was never sort of somewhere to rest her pint! All in all, a fine time was had by all, despite the Westcountry being battered by more storms that evening. FUCK OFF, RAIN!! :P That is all. Carry on, minions... I forgot to mention that I had the nicest marmalade I've had in some time. Seriously. Lovely and fruity, with a good level of 'bits' and a bitter aftertaste. Those of you fortunate enough to live in the greatest place on earth (aka the West Country) can pick it up from any number of shops. Northern Monkeys should try the Boddington Berries shop where, through the joys of this 'ere new-fangled internet thingamajig, jar can be sent across the country, and even out to the Colonies (you know, Australia, America, France - those sorts of places...) Why, I think they even ship to entirely uncivilised, barbarous areas like southern Europe, and McDonia in particular. Although quite why you would need marmalade in these places, I don't know. You're probably too busy pickling and curing now that the firey ball is low in the sky...
There, I think that's all of my regular readers nicely insulted! C'mon, you know I icecreamcone you all really. :* |
WTF?!This site contains out-of-character information for characters and events in the MMO Popmundo, as well as general navel-gazing and apologies for never updating. "If you are offended by words like: Shit! Bitch! Fuck! Dick! Ass! Whore! Cum!" Ice-T
