HAHAHA NO RLY.

But look, it's a photoset with both of us in it - very rare, since I'm normally the one wielding the camera.


This is honestly the first time I've been able to tell from photographic evidence that Humuhumu and I are related.

One of the entities in this photo is eminently comfortable. You get one guess which.

Additional: This is what Telstar thinks Humuhumu is for. He's in for a bit of a shock in few weeks' time.

I'm sure my obsession with vintage-izing everything will pass at some point. Just not while it's helping me to stick to this project.

After miss_s_b posted hers, I had a look through the last five years' of entries made on or as near as possible to 15 May. I found it made for a fairly typical cross-section of my favourite journalling topics.

On 12 May 2007, I stood in the library of the Royal Geological Society after several glasses of wine and, er, shouted a random sweary thing. (This was a very confusing time in my life in many ways.)

On 15 May 2008, I recorded spectrograms of my voice while looking for a simple way for my first-year physics project students to record signals from their VLF receiver.

On 15 May 2009, I went to a whisky tasting at the Whisky Exchange with imyril and her boy. I went home clutching a bottle of 18 year old Hakushu.

On 16 May 2010, I was in Noordwijk, Holland, attending a science conference about the nascent NASA/ESA mission to Jupiter.

On 15 May 2011, I wrapped up my participation in the 3W4DW (Three Weeks for Dreamwidth) festival, which didn't really take off this year outside fandom, sadly. Especially since it was the way I met a lot of my non-fandom Circle.

( I appear to be doing a series of these slightly NSFW self portraits )

The lovely frilly nightie I'm wearing was my grandmother's. I think she acquired it some time in the 1950s. She gave it to my mother, who then passed it to me. I have always tried to take very good care of it, because it's a beautiful item. I like to picture Grammy wearing it as a woman in her thirties, brushing out her long brown hair and re-braiding it before bed.

Happy (self-portrait) Sunday, all. I don't have much to say right now, but I'm content.
