helen-louise's journal

I have been in the US for three weeks now, and will be returning home on Sunday. In related news, I have well and truly messed up my sleep patterns. It is 5.57 am and I haven't managed to sleep yet.

I flew into Toronto on Friday 23rd March, and was met by Grant. We then drove into town and had dinner with maize, okoshun and clawfoot at The Hogtown Vegan. ( Pictures, mostly of food )

Live American black bears with PLUSHIE American black bears! Very, very cute. Click on the pictures to make them bigger.

Ubisoft ports its games to the Post-It note platform (Kotaku article from last year) and updated gallery.

Webcomic that will cause earworms for anyone who's ever played the game: Katamari. Official licensed webcomic. Very funny and sweet - and yes, it made me want to go and boot up the game again.

An earworm to get rid of the last one: "Pop Star" by Eureka Machines. A very good pop/punk band indeed, and this video is hilarious and worth watching even if you're not a fan of the music.


I am waiting impatiently for my next Alix & Martin picture. This one has them topless :) I've been sent the pencil sketch but now it needs inking and colouring... Feeling sufficiently depressed that only pretty boys loving each other will help.
