@belle_lulu Mm. I don't know the emoticon for stuck out bottom lip. I thought I was nice! in reply to belle_lulu #
@caitlinmoran Are you SURE they were Polish? in reply to caitlinmoran #
@ememess Hello! Wrote my 1st story for Elephant Words in 3 months today. If you get a sec can I ask you to take a look? http://bit.ly/JadfQ in reply to ememess #
Oh for fuck's sake. Turned down lovely tea with @steevbishop so that I could get some stuff done… #
…Stuff I've got done?: Poss. got G1 a parking ticket. Poss. broken washing machine. Watched several episodes of @charltonbrooker's YHBW… #
…not a single bloody thing I hoped to do. Mind, s'a bit of time left, I s'pose… #
@steevbishop, I noticed the parking ticket when I got up to answer your text, to get some insight into the timing of my day. #
@belle_lulu Awww… yay! Course, it worries me that one of your criteria for "lovely" is a man who may or may not ejaculate in drinks… in reply to belle_lulu #
Oh fuck, You Have Been Watching… I was NOT expecting to see a man eat a bear poo then. Think dog is having a reaction to it too… #
…& she eats poo too. #
@RedMummy Well, I've been fairly adamant on the subject, but you & @belle_lulu seem unconvinced…! in reply to RedMummy #
No, annoying 3 man in the adverts – people do NOT behave like that when looking at maps on their phones… #
@steevbishop You're probably right. I think the ticket might be appealable – we're entitled to park there, & the permit is long overdue. in reply to steevbishop #
@RedMummy …Yay? in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy (That would be a full-on Yay!, of course, if not for the "even if you did". ) in reply to RedMummy #
… How many unwatched episodes of The Simpsons on the DVR does it take before you realise that you'll prob not get round to watching them? #
@belle_lulu I'm pretty sure that that disqualifies me. Had it tasted like honey & rainbows & songs about awesome, maybe. in reply to belle_lulu #
@RedMummy Aww… the fact that in a punitive afterlife worldview, you haven't immediately assumed fire & brimstone pants for me was sweet! in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy Well, shy of a DNA test, my innocence can never be convincingly proved. Or… Uh… in reply to RedMummy #
Wow, it turns out that, amazingly, after all this time I am STILL capable of self-censorship! #
@babiejenks I just started writing fiction again after 3 months off. Every time I find a new-to-me awesome writer, it puts me off writing… in reply to babiejenks #
@babiejenks Just finished The Road, & know it's going to be hard to write word one after that. in reply to babiejenks #
How can I be so tired? I slept late, & have done fuck all. It's no good, is what it is. #
Thankyou tons for introducing us properly to Grandaddy, @steevbishop. It is VERY easy to listen to. #
What's harder than a not-natural artist drawing an owl? Inking over pencils on that owl. #
http://twitpic.com/e0len – Case in point… #
Though I believe in spanking them when they go too far, @thecraigmorris, & they have many times recently… #
…I tend to operate for the most part on the belief that that's what elections are for. (That's @thecraigmorris again.) #
…Though truth be known, it hasn't felt like those pesky elections have been coming around quickly enough recently. #
@culturevultures Yeah! Actually, to give some indication of why it's taking me so damn long to do my bit, WIP to follow… in reply to culturevultures #
@thecraigmorris Yeah, definitely… & there's a problem with how quickly they fall into the effort to KEEP the power. in reply to thecraigmorris #
http://twitpic.com/e0mey – Just in case I fuck this up in inks… #
Heh, oh goodness, no @philkirby… this is just what I do. Get an idea & keep at it even if it's too big for me. This week has been odd! #
BTW, @philkirby, did you see that I'm back on Elephant Words again? I've tweeted it a couple of times, mind. #
@philkirby When I write, I write fast & unconcerned, but drawing isn't as natural a process for me. in reply to philkirby #
@thecraigmorris Am custodian of a travelling moleskine. Landed the theme Robots In Disguise. I am only man my age who hates Transformers… in reply to thecraigmorris #
@thecraigmorris So… Had lots of different ideas for how to kick off the book. Blade Runner seemed easiest. in reply to thecraigmorris #
Of course, when I picked up on Blade Runner as potential fodder, I failed to realise that I would end up watching it through again… #
http://twitpic.com/e0o8n – #
@belle_lulu Heh… talking politicians, so I guess ALL of our monkeys…! in reply to belle_lulu #
http://twitpic.com/e0oim – #

http://twitpic.com/e0p7x – #
Hm. Has anyone made a WordPress plug-in that can easily turn an @username link into a hyperlink to a twitter account? & am I really so lazy? #
@babiejenks I think it depends for me. There's a sort of writing I know I can do, & writers in a similar vein inspire me… in reply to babiejenks #
@babiejenks It's when someone like Amis or Cormac McCarthy elicits such a potent reaction in me in a way I can't imagine writing, I pause… in reply to babiejenks #
@babiejenks Not much, though! I wrote Small & Very Far Away Monday night, so not THAT frozen up, I guess! http://bit.ly/JadfQ in reply to babiejenks #
@culturevultures Heh, true enough! Me too! in reply to culturevultures #
The Venture Bros music really is swell. Thirwell has perfect sense of what the show needs! #
Both @RedMummy & @giagia are almost making me sad that I committed early to sausage, mash & cheesy peas tonight. Almost. #
@giagia The thing I like most about cheesy peas is that they are so easy to make. The only way they'd be easier is if they were in a tube! in reply to giagia #
@ScruffyPanther S'good. I like it. Response muted because it is never worth talking, one way or another, with a woman about weight… in reply to ScruffyPanther #
@ScruffyPanther …But I see nothing in that photo that isn't aesthetically pleasing. There, that's yer lot. in reply to ScruffyPanther #
@tylermassey @thecraigmorris Oooh, ta, gents! #
@ScruffyPanther Aww… ta! Am really feeling the love tonight! in reply to ScruffyPanther #
See, here's a problem… Everything to do with Blade Runner is fascinating. Went to IMDB to check something, ended up stuck there on trivia! #
@thecraigmorris No… I'm supposed to be drawing a couple, but generally speaking I'm only any good drawing from life, & not consistent… in reply to thecraigmorris #
@thecraigmorris I DO put everything I do do on Flickr, though! Uh… http://bit.ly/16AigM in reply to thecraigmorris #
@steevbishop I do! I ACTUALLY can't believe that nobody has ever put them together in one product. Peas 'N' Cheese, they could call it. in reply to steevbishop #
Oh, wow… lookit! The Fast Show is on! #
Charlie Higson & Paul Whitehouse always pitched the Ted stuff perfectly. #
"For god's sake, Paul, can't you tell? I'm having a nervous breakdown!" #
@douglasnoble Burroughs? On a Saturday? in reply to douglasnoble #
@thecraigmorris Thank god vodafone is protecting you! I struggle with everything except people! in reply to thecraigmorris #
@thepetshopboy @thepetshopboy Have we ever talked about The Fast Show? in reply to thepetshopboy #
@PeteRogers Innit tho? Just SO nice to see the people on there do their magic again. Higson is AWESOME! in reply to PeteRogers #
@thepetshopboy It's a bit of a classic Brit sketch show. Worked on the premise of setting up as many catchphrases as quickly as possible… in reply to thepetshopboy #
http://bit.ly/10OMkS – Decent amount of clips here. A lot of these peeps will be familiar to you. At least a couple. At least Mr Weasley! #
http://twitpic.com/e1jfc – This bit is all done bar the rubbing out! #
@thepetshopboy Yup yup… Did I tweet a link to it a minute ago? #
@Glinner Have I got totally the wrong end of the stick, or did you have something to do with Ted & thingie, on the Fast Show? in reply to Glinner #
@RedMummy If he's following me he should see them, shouldn't he? I mean, happy to faff it, but just sayin! Has he seen Blade Runner? in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy (Working them at the moment… next photo stage I will Mention him, kay?) in reply to RedMummy #
@belle_lulu Heh… I'm SO glad that of all the things I say that get forgotten, THAT one seems to have stuck…! in reply to belle_lulu #
@Glinner THOUGHT I wasn't imagining it. You already know, of course, that between the 4 of you you caged a heady mix of genius & beauty… in reply to Glinner #
@Glinner (After an early evening of alluding to Cheesy Peas, was happily surprised to see a Fast Show rerun on some Dave channel or other.) in reply to Glinner #
@sarahditum Uh… in reply to sarahditum #
@Glinner (Also, it was the one with Ted's wife's funeral in. Where he silently breaks down as the credits roll. It just wasn't funny. Sob.) in reply to Glinner #
I just SERIOUSLY over-shaded Roy Batty in this picture. Oh dear. It was going SO well…! #
@sarahditum …I guess what I'm trying to say is, does it HAVE to be called a "playsuit"? in reply to sarahditum #
I'm understating it, of course – Ted & Ralph was always funny, even when it was terribly sad. Tightrope between pathos & hilarity… #
@Glinner Hm… It almost sounds like you preferred the stuff they did after you two stopped! Still, remember ALL of them being great… in reply to Glinner #
@Glinner (It was STILL pretty gay till the end…!) in reply to Glinner #
I really wish Sharpie didn't just go STRAIGHT thru moleskine. #
@Glinner (Apologise for wild & misguided Twitter sycophancy. Currently ruining picture of Rutger Hauer, so not entirely with it.) in reply to Glinner #
@belle_lulu Can I have an ejaculate free wine-spritzer, please? Need alcohol. And to stay awake. in reply to belle_lulu #
@Glinner Have always thought Higson was an odd – successful, but odd – fit for comedy. He pushes to nuance when all else heads for laughter. in reply to Glinner #
@Glinner …I mean, his novels didn't really get good till he stopped trying to make them funny & just headed for darkness hell for leather! in reply to Glinner #
@douglasnoble I'm being unfair to his novels. None were AWFUL. They just didn't get good till he stopped trying to make them darkly comic… in reply to douglasnoble #
@douglasnoble …Didn't know he made a film. Odd to think that he makes a living writing young James Bond books now. in reply to douglasnoble #
http://twitpic.com/e1wg3 – #
@Specsneedaclean Yeah… for a project called Travelling Moleskine. All from photos, though… in reply to Specsneedaclean #
@belle_lulu Um… how is what you're doing any better? You'll set off a feedback loop of sexy. They'll try to hide from the 2 sex girls! in reply to belle_lulu #
@belle_lulu …IN EACH OTHER'S CLOTHES! in reply to belle_lulu #
@Specsneedaclean Aww, ta! in reply to Specsneedaclean #
http://twitpic.com/e207e – Help! Does that look like rain? #
http://twitpic.com/e26m5 – #
@rhodri Oh gosh, sorry to hear that… #
@RedMummy Ta for input! The original photo has vertical rain… it's a feature of the image. Also, crucial thing is it's pen & ink… in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy Those have a nice watery feel to them, but they're very much a computer effect – could do it in reality, but would need gouache… in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy …& that wouldn't work in a moleskine… at least, not the normal ones! The watercolour books are a different story. in reply to RedMummy #
Charcoal on moleskine doesn't work too badly: http://bit.ly/3UDnoU – but you have to use fixative, which does this: http://bit.ly/HhLnf #
@RedMummy …Or in noir, or Ridley Scott films. Which Blade Runner is? There are drips on the face, but piece is finished now!… in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy Moleskine is off-white, so no way of correcting/adding light patches… Was V.small window for possible changes before next one. in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy Heh… My laptop stopped updating tweetdeck. You got a bit obsessive there for a minute, didn't you? in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy Heh… I know! Thanks! I did mention that I'd finished some time before, tho! The pages I showed you were WITH fixative… in reply to RedMummy #
@RedMummy …It bleeds through moley pages, which makes a mess of anything on the following page – makes pages transparentey? in reply to RedMummy #
@idsharman Have you seen the images I've been posting tonight? in reply to idsharman #
Blade Runner tribute for the Travelling Moley Robots In Disguise themed book: http://bit.ly/nDbza (This is why I watched it t'other night!) #
Am walking dog on quiet Common. Sky broody, head wonky. Just me, Anya & the joggers. #
Girl One back today! Anya has been on edge all week, but think she's forgotten why!… #
…Need to burn off some Dally energy so she doesn't knock over G1 on arrival! #
@RivkaJacobs Thanks! Far as lateness goes, been getting a bit slack across the board lately, so I wouldn't worry! We'll get back on track! in reply to RivkaJacobs #
@ememess Oh, gosh… the Tories aren't jumping on the Fox bandwagon, are they? Bloody idiots. in reply to ememess #
@culturevultures @philkirby Aww, thankyou! #
@RedMummy Hello! Did you get much drawing done in the end last night? in reply to RedMummy #
@culturevultures @philkirby Heh… no idea! Am rubbish with hashtags! "moley" sounds good, but is it in use already? #
Girl One is back! So if I'm a bit absent for the rest of the weekend, well, dur! #
Right, can somebody please explain to @RedMummy that cheesy peas ARE part of a proper meal? @giagia? @steevbishop? Food of the gods! #
@JGONeill It's complicated, but I'm hoping to market some sort of product that will make it MUCH MUCH easier… in reply to JGONeill #
@RedMummy Hah… I was replying to your earlier tweet, where you DID suggest that they weren't! in reply to RedMummy #
