The Murder of Day
With head heavy, eyelids heavier, hand tightly gripping the handle of a pint mug of tea, by now half empty and barely warmer than its surroundings, I sit quietly in a daze, resisting with all my strength the urge to doze off, listening intently to the silence of the room around me, and the whispers in my mind.
“If off to sleep you go,” say the hissing voices in the deep of the darkness, “then Day ends. And then YOU,” they add with creepy emphasis, and the implied wagging of a multitude of invisible but menacing, clawed and scaly index fingers, “and then YOU will have KILLED it!”

The evolution and deconstruction of the front page
Do you remember a time when every deviant’s work was featured on the front page? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
The evolution and deconstruction of DA’s front page
It’s no secret that I don’t like modern DA. I think the site is failing. Over the years DA’s staff have made a significant amount of changes that were meant to push the site forward, but usually did the exact opposite. DEVIANTART (formerly deviantART) has been in a steady decline, and this isn’t just me being a Negative Nancy (or a Debbie Downer as JenFruzz (https://www.deviantart.com/jenfruzz) would put it). This decline is actually measurable.

Poking my head back in again
First journal entry since Dec 31 2007, and first visit back since April 11 this year. Though I usually have at least one camera with me wherever I go, and take pictures at every opportunity I can find, unfortunately I seldom find the time to sit down and do much with them lately.
Was it coincidence that I came back to find my message box bristling with precisely 1000 messages, or is that the max allowed by DevArt? I don't know, but it definitely means that I've a huge backlog to get on with.
Where was James Bond in 2007?
It has been 364 days, and it only occurred to me just now ...
Has anyone noticed a lack of anything James Bond-related this year? A James Bond festival of sorts? Agent Of The Year front covers on glossy magazines? Personally I've not heard of as much as a James Bond Lookalike contest, or even a Give Us Your Best James Bond Quote In A James Bond Voice contest on radio.
There has, for crying out loud, not even been a James Bond MOVIE out this year!
What's wrong with this picture? It's the year two-thousand-and-seven, isn't it? Two-double-oh-seven. Did the British movie industry completely miss, or ignore, the symbolic value of this number, a
It just quit on me ...
I'm a bit sad, really. I've had this camera for the last few years, four and a half in all, taken thousand of photos with it, and now it has gone and retired itself. It just won't take any more pictures. It's a Canon IXUS 400 which I got in June 2003, and it has been with me just about everywhere I've been since. And I've taken pictures of just about everything I could find. The index number on the last shot I took with it, which was this last Christmas Eve, is 23790, and it decided to quit while I was trying to take a photo of the cat sleeping underneath the Christmas tree only a couple of days later. I've no idea what's supposed to be wrong
