Scripts. Nothing but movie scripts. Hundreds of them. Shooting scripts, Final drafts, 2nd drafts, production drafts. Brilliant. Now that’s something for Colleen.

No. All of a sudden it’s all art, or what? I’m certainly not going to blog her, that pathetic old Lady. Rest in Hell. No link here.

I’ve done it again. Updating the Corgi Toys Catalogue Gallery, that is. The Corgi Toys catalogue should be complete now by probably the middle of next week, with Dinky to follow. And then I’m going to split the pages into Corgy 1969 – Dinky 70’s – Dinky 1940. The Dinky Toys catalogue from 1940 is to follow – it’s a reprint from Model Collector Magazine. As long as it’s fun – have fun. And no – I am not going to scan them in 300 dpi. And no – I don’t have a drum scanner.
Here are some more pointers to other people’s Corgi/Dinky catalogues: [1], [2]. If there are any more, please let me and the World know.

The largest explosion on Earth. Krakatau.
Over a century ago, on August 26,1883, the island volcano of Krakatau (“Krakatoa”) in Indonesia, a virtually unknown volcanic island with a history of violent volcanic activity, exploded with devastating fury. The eruption was one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in recorded history. The effects were experienced on a global scale. Fine ashes from the eruption were carried by upper level winds as far away as New York City. The explosion was heard more than 3000 miles away. Volcanic dust blew into the upper atmosphere affecting incoming solar radiation and the earth’s weather for several years.
Excerpt from George Pararas-Carayannis website about The Great Volcanic Explosion of Krakatoa. More recent information and pictures are here.

Closer. Here’s Chuck Close. And here. And here’s how to create your very own Chuck Close.

Invaders. It’s still much too hot to blog anything decent today, apart from maybe stealing fans off It&W’s website and having a good discussion about it. So have a go at The Ultimate Space Invaders Shrine with the online game. Me, I have to rest.
A breeze! Thank Goodness. Fan shamelessly stolen from Sat, 09 Aug 2003 12:52:47 GMT
Spectrum is Green. Good old Gerry Anderson. Apparently he’s very busy producing a CGI version of his old Captain Scarlet series. What I’ve seen so far looks very promising indeed; the production company is The Moving Picture Company in London’s Wardour Street. Where else of course?

Some thoughts about the job. There is no justice in this world. As my regular readers are well aware, I work in advertising. I’m an art director. Yes, I confess: I was responsible for some of the bright crap that might have been harassing you in magazines and on television. But something just struck me -
When I was an art director on the WASA crispbread account, I always had free crispbread.
When I worked for Reemtsma cigarettes, I always had loads of free cigarettes.
Colgate Palmolive: free toothpaste and household cleaners.
I always got freebies; Sunkist, Fish fingers, Lipton tea…shame I never worked on a whisky account.
At present I mostly work in healthcare advertising. Seems to be the only niche where you can still get a job these days.
Now am I getting a revolutionary new cancer treatment for free? Am I getting pills to treat Parkinson’s Disease? Free HRT patches? Free arthritis drugs? Nope. I am annoyed.
There is no justice in this world.
