Apr. 27th, 2010 11:57 pmPeppa Pig is in the news. I still can't work out whether the artwork of this character is a brilliant attempt to introduce young children to cubism (bearing as it does a strong resemblance to "Woman in Hat and Fur Collar"), or whether it just went wrong.
I am further troubled by the glasses of another character depicted at the link (I believe this is "Daddy Pig"), which rest neither on his ears nor his nose. I think I may tomorrow spend a few minutes making a 3D model and a texture for young Peppa, to demonstrate what happens when you try and rotate her.

Dec. 3rd, 2007 04:12 pmwe were looking for a good free 3d model of a cow in the interwebs. unable to do this, we consider instead to use a model of the teapot, with a cow texturemap, and claiming, straight-faced, that it is a cow.

Oct. 9th, 2007 06:26 pmThey are, at long last, starting to demolish the Swiss Centre (10 Wardour Street, the building on the north-west corner of Leicester Square). A crane was sighted there yesterday (but went home) and it has less windows than it did before. I'm not entirely clear what will be there afterwards: some generic glass and steel building I guess?
Yet it retains curious signs of habitation : the glockenspiel which was a novelty at first, is still active (and apparently is to be resited nearby, unfortunately); and a discount ticket store is occupying the southern face of the building still, even as workers start to dismantle bits of the tower.

Feb. 23rd, 2006 05:55 pmWent to see A Cock and Bull Story last night, which was very entertaining. Vaguely tempted to read the book, except that it really does have nine volumes.
Today i did various things, including getting my costume for Saturday ready (thanks to people for ideas!), and have ordered a corset (black, underbust).
I find I have email from a recruitment agency - I am to telephone them tomorrow.

regarding this
it looks like i'll be no longer employed in a few days. in meantime i am on "gardening leave".
i'd better start updating my CV then.
unfortunately i don't have a garden. although i have been considering buying a pot plant. on the plus side it does mean I get to watch Bargain Hunt more often for a while!

Jun. 23rd, 2005 06:31 pmwe had what would have been a very boring company meeting this afternoon, if it hadn't had a competition as part of it, whereby the speakers would try to insert as many song titles as they possibly could, from a list provided and we were supposed to spot them. i got 46. as a result i have no idea what anyone actually said. apparently sunil managed to say "come up and see me" accidentally.
