Point the figure-head at the glass. Smash! Smash! Into shards.

B-Movie was the Night of the Living Ixus. I took the Ixus 50 to use and the Ixus i to show people (goth_twiglet was really quite taken with it). hazyjayne or someone near her had an Ixus 750, which really is very 'l33t and the huge LCD is actually useful. kjersti bitched at length about her crappy Casio and wished she had an Ixus again. I severely tempted hsw to just get an Ixus 30/40/50. eyeliner297 was going wild with her shiny new old Ixus v2 as well. ( Hey kid, yer first Ixus is cheap! )

I was doing a lot of continuous shooting (hold the button down to get several shots), which worked really well at ISO 400 outside. I got somewhere over 200 shots, will probably put up about 100-150 and am increasingly concluding that flash just plain sucks and should be avoided as absolutely far as possible. The pics won't be up for a while — the host reddragdiva.co.uk was on is still offline, and I want to move it to the new server properly then start adding new stuff. (I have all the pics on hand, but not a backup of the MySQL data.) Actually, I should just switch to the new host and put a "restoring soon" notice on it. Hmm.

Everyone stayed home to avoid the stifling saunalike heat ... what this meant was there were few enough people that the sauna effect didn't happen. Mind you, I spent most of the evening outside anyway, with Abi and secretlondon. With vampwillow and abigailb in attendance, helping represent the Wikipedia Cabal.

Tonight is Swarf at Slimes and Antilight. arkady is still completely buggered from the heat, so I fear Antilight is looking much less likely. But I am about to start getting ready properly for the gig. How did it get to be six already, and why is it still so buggering hot?

Update: Liz is too unwell to be left tonight, so I'll need to stay home. Ah well.
