Call of Cthulhu DVD

The film is fantastic. I love old style horror films and pulps and this one is spot on. The cheap sets and ropey effects don't deter at all from the enjoyment because at that time, the effects were ropey, too.
It's also very true to the source and the Cthulhu stop-motion model is hilarious.
They even included "faults" and specks of debris in the film. The making of documentary on the DVD is interesting, too, both from the technical side and other bits like the outtakes and acting samples. You never hear the voices so they just improvised with some hilarious results.
I don't know who else is selling it over here but you could get in touch with angusabranson as he's got still some stock left, I think.

Knitting hats for charity

undyingking pointed to a site where a friend of his is knitting hats for homeless people and is looking for sponsorship or people who would be willing to help her knit hats.
I can think of at least three people on my friends list who could apply for that. :o)

Hats for the Homeless - Crisis

Tag flooding LJ

undyingking found a site that tracks the use of LJ tags and bateleur wants to make "moose" the top tag for Christmas.
So if you want to help out, add "moose" to every LJ post you make and check your progress here.

Dragonmeet photos

Gah, what a lazy day. I got nothing done, except the photos and a load of laundry. As I was so shattered from the week before, I just hung around and watched TV and DVDs.
I need to do some serious dishwashing tomorrow, the rest can wait until next weekend which will be free except for a quick birthday drink with razornet.

Good thing that con snapshots don't require much thinking apart from resizing so here are the photos from Dragonmeet, including the two freeforms I played in.

[Photography] More recognition

I posted the Fairy Lights photo from the Christmas Babe shoot with cryx on a German photography forum where a lot of pros and semi-pros hang out and post and got some nice compliments there, too. Minor critique points were the cropping (too much space at top and bottom) and cryx's watch(!).

As I've gained a few readers since the last time

1. My username is karohemd because it means "checked shirt" in German. (anyone who knows me outside goth clubs will know why)
2. My journal is titled Welcome to my World because I couldn't think of anything else and I talk about my world.
3. My subtitle is A German in Cambridge because I am.
4. My friends page is called I know weird people because you all are. ;oP
5. My default userpic is an MRI scan of my head because it's damn cool and not everyone has one of those.
