Her name was Candela Nutts although not many people knew this fact. She didn’t much care about what people thought of her but she neither needed or wanted the added complications of having a name that inferred being, if you were extremely lucky, small, crunchy and edible. So she tried being Candela for a while and failed because everyone just called her Candle. She could live with that and at least now no one would ever know.

The man sitting in the chair in front of her knew and that worried her. “But enough with the pleasentries, Miss Nutts,” he said. Without even a hint of a smile, Candle noticed. That worried her even more.

Now only 74870 words to go before my new novel is finished.

Another thing: one of the main characters in the book is having sex with, and I am almost not kidding here, every single hot woman he comes into contact with. And the ones he doesn’t have sex with (so far as I have read) either wants to have sex with him or at least finds him really attractive. Now, this could possibly work, but usually it is just too easy. I will now paraphrase his latest encounter to demonstrate:

He was laying on his bed in the guest-room watching boring TV. Suddenly the door unlocks and the landlords hot young wife that, by the way, he met earlier, enters his room entirely uninvited.

Fade suggestively to black.

Usually I don’t mind sex in books but in this is getting a little ridiculous.

A fun site I tumbled u-pun (times 2, intended but failed). Name speaks for itself: Clients From Hell

No, what I wanted to say was that I had been super swamped with work and that is why I haven’t written anything in waaay to long. Unfortunately, I can’t even say that because that would be a lie, and lying is wrong. Especially on the internet, where everything is right and proper.

As is customary in these cases, I give you some old drawings. These are a couple of character design tests that I did for a Nintendo DS game that I wanted to make. It was supposed to be an old school adventure-game not entirely unlike The Fate of Atlantis, except with a young female archeology student and also possibly the fountain of youth. Or something.

It also bears mentioning that I have now unlocked, from the deepest recesses of racial memory, the secret knowledge of baking carrot-cake (my mom gave me the recipe) which means that I am now doomed to become brown, oblong and delicious, if the saying is to be believed.

I’m not saying anything.

Today’s anecdote is about me. I recently found out that I am actually spending more money than I am making. Ignoring for at moment the fact that I am only procuring spending capital and not actually making money, this came as quite a disappointment to me.
The anecdotal part of this story and the part that is very telling to my way of dealing with money, is that my reaction to the said discovery was to immediately buy a butt-load of books on Bamazo, I mean Amazon…

I am so looking forward to getting them!

This is not a Jedi in her underpants

Now, I am not sure why I am surprised. It is possible that I just figured that a Tech Talk channel would be boring enough to be safe. In hindsight, I think that is probably missing the whole point.

Or to put it another way: Sorry for not posting. I was playing Valkyria Chronicles.
