As a Lost obsessive this is essential for me. Really need to work out a timeframe too – particuarly as my boyfriend wants to do the same and only really having Saturday nights to watch dvds together isn’t ideal…Well, we’ve got until February…

I’ve decided to list all of the episodes so I can strikeout as I go. I’ve watched most of the episodes from seasons 1-3 numerous times but not managed repeat viewings of many of 4 and 5.

Looking forward to this, although inevitably tinged with sadness as one of my favourite shows draws to an end.

Season 5

As much as I’m still interested in the Games Workshop hobby (and have a trillion ideas for conversions, Demon entries and armies zinging about my brain), I recently realised that I’ve not actually painted a model since my last (new) Golden Demon entry for UK Games Day 2007 (that was a ‘finish at 5am before leaving at 5:30am’ panic job that possibly traumatised me…).

So UK Games Day / Golden Demon is nearly upon us once again – and once again I’ve spent months saying “oooh,I must make a start on my entry” to no actual avail. But I have started! Yes! No longer will the Gazghull I first entered about 5 years ago be dusted off in the vague hope that he’s anywhere near standard (nope).

I know I’ll have no chance of winning that coveted GD this year, but I do need to get back on the horse (or Squig) of converting and (most importantly)painting so I’ve booted some of the more time consuming ideas out (looking at days to get this finished, and light is fast becoming an issue) and opted for a simple(ish) plastic Ork conversion for the 40K Single Miniature catagory, that has the double honour of also being the first recruit of my new Feral Snow Orks army.

This first pic is the unfiled, blu-tacked trial run from last Sunday. Hoping to get the conversion part completed this weekend but not sure if I’ve time to get the green stuff sculpting done.

An ongoing one this. It’s so frustrating to miss a gig because I can’t make the train fare to London or wherever (it’s even more frustrating when I’ve got the money but not the time off work…)

Bands/artists I would love to see live:

Beastie Boys
Sage Francis
Atmosphere (again)
Brother Ali (again)
Mouthwash (finally seeing them in December – woo!)
Imperial Leisure
Madina Lake
Sheryl Crow
Ani Di Franco
Portishead
Rival Schools
Modest Mouse
Flobots (hopefully in Feb ‘09…)
