It's pretty easy. Or you could use this to say something, I don't bite unless asked to.




Things tagged with paper!

It’s an early Christmas! A paper cutter! Cheap too, which you can tell if you’ve ever used a real one — but those are so fucking expensive and I don’t care right now as this one works just fine. Mix CD booklets? Oh hell yes.
(I gave myself a colour calibration tool as well but that one was ordered and not store bought, so hopefully before or just after Christmas I will have proper colours on both the laptop and the stationary.)

Love affair with the photocopier. Making mid-session chapbooks.

This is why the whole sex-on-the-copier-myth is bullshit. It’s uncomfortable and also, if you’re there you’d probably have to use the thing. And then you wouldn’t want to do stuff that might make the copier upset — a broken photocopier is worse to fix than a feuding family at a last will and testament reading.

But most important: making fanzines and chapbooks in a room engulfed with the smell of paper? That beats uncomfortable sex with paper jam triggered by the wrong things (ouch!). I mean: sheesh, there has to be at least tens of rooms more suitable within running distance. Leave the poor copier alone and let it churn the pages. (Words on paper is awesome.)

I couldn’t find any good images of Demo 2.03 on the internet beside the cover, but damn. Damn, damn, damn. Volume One Love Story is a fantastic issue. It’s almost to cute, but only almost because it’s never sickeningly sweet. I admit that the storytelling is one of those that feels custom-made just for me as the love story of Marlo is told through post-its. Post-its! Lots of them.

(Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan are amazing. I wish this run was more than six issues.)

The is probably one of the best books ever — I only say probably because it’s not nice to be a snob and declare what is one of the few objective truths. The other objective truth is that this is the best smell in the world. You might try to come up with something else, but you can’t. You’ll fail. And then you’ll cry. So don’t try, just accept it.

No, I don’t work on a new fanzine. I should, I really do, but no.

A sound I love whose title you should use for your not quite finished whatever:
Heels on a Library Floor

I’d rather have and use those bookshelves. And the books, I always need more books.

Proper origami

After I folded my first swan origami, I tried to fold a Yoda. It was a spectacular failure as, apparently, there’s a slight difference in the skill level needed.

I guess I have to take responsibility for what I write in this blog, hope I don't make myself look like an ass too often.
