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.

Just a quickie (all be it a GSG one!) because I haven't posted in forever. So:
Finally got around to updating Shay's page, and the character page, with his new faceclaim. I may write more about what Shay is up to dreckly. Anyway, go check it out. Or don't. I don't care!!1!1
Still toying with resurrecting Vera to use as Ellis. But toying is as far as it's got. Because... reasons. As an aside, this number of people viewing this site seems to have plummeted since I stopped posting pictures of heavily tattooed ladies. Or maybe it was the cricket talk that had you all hooked? Hmm, I wonder... I've updated V's page and the main character page. I've also added Gray Lilies to the links page, but I'm sure I'm missing some. Advices, please! Lastly I rationalised some small continuity errors on Shay's page.
That is all. [/dull] The witch is dead. It feels a bit funny, not having to choose a character at the initial screen. Still, as I always chose Shay first, it's nothing I won't get used to. Thanks to everyone for generally not nagging me to change my mind. V hadn't done anything of note in forever, so there really did seem little point in having her knock around any longer. I'll update her page dreckly. Shay is currently getting his arse kicked in LA, and chatting with a rejuvenated Lily - who's woken up after far too long in the land of nod - and a restart who I will not name as it's not my place to. Suffice to say that I'm happy to see them back. :) You should all go and have a shuftie at Lily's weebly. I, on the other hand, am going to get ready for a beer festival! (In case you were wondering, I'm Twatface.)
Tomorrow will be my first wedding anniversary, which means I'm about 5 days away from the anniversary of this site too. I believe the first anniversary is paper, so I will happily accept any £50 notes you want to send me. Looking back at the first post, a couple of things stand out. Firstly, who the fuck was L? Was that what Rice was called before she was Rice? Secondly, I've been saying that I haven't known what to do with V for over a year now. If that's not a sign that the character has run its course then what is? I'm not going to kill her off, but she will be going into a form of retirement, writing songs and producing for other people. She's not exactly been talkative for the last month or two, but expect her to be even quieter until such time as inspiration ever strikes. Okay, I have my first quiet afternoon at work in forever to finish off. Have a good weekend, party people! :) The Rock has come ba- oh no, not that. Finally the lady behind the Foulquiers (aka Cookie - another one that's jacked my food-themed weebly nickname gimmick :P) has got her site The Architecture of Loss to a point where she can publish. It's not complete but there's still a fair bit of info there. I'm liking her insanely detailed eye-colours, and the fact she lets you in on how old the characters really are. It's also a pretty site; all the character photos are lovely, and the whole site design and gives you more than a hint of the author's Goth tendencies. And who doesn't love Goth girls? I like them so much, I married one! Rice, you should definitely check it out - there's a good opportunity for letching on the first page, and I know how you love to leer. :) Anyway, there are no character bios up yet, which I will look forwards to as I'm a big fan of her writing. However, in the meantime, I can reveal that all of her characters are either madly in love with Shay, or in denial about being madly in love with Shay. All of them. Honest - you can trust me...
What else? Well, Vera has just met her step-sister. Amazingly the fact that Marianne was related to V through Dean has completely escaped me to this point, but putting the two of them in the same room should spark some good Odd Couple-type moments. Just a couple of quickies: I added It's a Mad House back to the links section. I'm thinking of yoinking her idea for Favourite things lists.
Secondly, I finished a song. Not for V's horror album, although that is coming together in drips and drabs, but about the tin-foil hat-wearing numpties that infest the forums. It also doubled as a handy birthday present for everyone's favourite Evil Mod. It'll appear in someone's blog dreckly, I'm sure. And that someone is Vera. I may have pretty much stolen Joni's gimmick for this blog... I haven't done one of these in a while. So what to report? I'm finally cobbling together some ideas for Vera's horror album, which is probably a good thing because her current tour is a kind of limbo - she badly needs something to do. Shay is dealing with Irish leaving the band and/or killing herself. I'm currently campaigning for her to 'see the light' and become the sort of evangelical preacher who's all Hellfire and brimstone in public, and hookers and ching in private. I think the consensus is that TGF needs a third member. At the moment all I can say is that something that may possibly be an iron just might be at least fairly close to something which could conceivably at least become a fire. Yeah, it's that vague. :P Anything else? Well, I did a few banner designs for a friend's clubs. I dunno which one, if any, will get used, but it was nice to do a bit of design work for the first time in forever. England won a cricket game, which hasn't happened since before it started raining here in the UK. I vaguely toyed with the idea of changing V's faceclaim (yes, again...) and thought I'd found the perfect candidate, but didn't make a note of her name, and promptly forgot. :P Ayria Lovett was considered, but probably not. Seems she makes smut with Joni's former faceclaim Kato, which makes her a) too young-looking and b) too smutty. One of the less smutty pics of Ms Lovett I should probably just not worry about it. There's nothing really wrong with Teya Salat, it's just that I occasionally think she doesn't quite fit the bill, for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. Then again, maybe I should make a big fuss about it, just to wind up the person (who shall remain nameless *coughtheladybehindtheFoulquierscough*) who asked if I was going to take another four blogs to decide! :D Or, to put it another way, give me some ideas to steal... ;) V is currently back at UCLA, but soon she'll have to start writing for her impending solo career. For those of you that don't subscribe to her blog, here's what I wrote earlier today: I think I've mentioned that I'd like to do an album of horror stories. I'll top and tail it with a reworking of Hungry, and a follow up to that track. This means that I need 10 other tracks, plus some filler songs (although I can probably rustle up some stuff from the Flat Track Bullies back catalogue). She also hinted that people should write suggestions on the back of a swimwear model and send them to her, but that's because she's a disgusting letch. *whistles innocently*
Anyway, if you have any ideas, please post them either here or to V direct. Ta muchly. I've also finally got around to updating Vera's page with the new face-claim. Like you even care. :P |
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
