Highbrow

by Patsyfox on March 31, 2010

So it’s almost easter.  Maybe you have a date, perhaps you’re going away somewhere, or could be you just have somewhere to go you simply want to look good for – me too!  So what was it that made me walk away from the bathroom when I’d applied the 3-minute dye to my eyebrows?
Probably the [...]

The thrill of the 86

by Patsyfox on March 30, 2010

Riding the 86 tram at the various times of the day & night as I do, I see  an endless array of pretty much certifiably insane people.  And god bless them because they make the journey time pass that much faster.  It’s always a special joy though when I catch a second sighting of the [...]

I’m with the band

by Patsyfox on March 24, 2010

My ambitions for last Friday night were modest.  High-five myself relentlessly for making it through a ridiculously hectic week.  Tick.  Lose a few more tones off my hearing scale by standing in front of the speaker stacks at the Dead Weather gig at the Forum so I could feel the music reverberate through my body [...]

The week that was

by Patsyfox on March 17, 2010

What a week what a very big week, and with the name of the day being Patsyfox, it seems just a tad ironic that I haven’t managed to post – aaargh!
But here’s my late pass:  From the grand opening last Thursday night and subsequent trifling of my liver, to the LMFF blogging forum on Saturday, [...]

Always the bride-sketcher, never the bride…

by Patsyfox on March 10, 2010

I was proposed to once.  Thought it was a joke and fell off my stool/dropped the phone laughing.  Apparently this is not the correct behaviour in such situations.  I was never forgiven.  It’s OK though, I’m sure this is not related to the fact that I’ve never heard that question again – I’ve been saying [...]

Bookmark it

by Patsyfox on March 7, 2010

Gimme a deadline, any deadline, and I’ll slide under the gate as it’s closing to deliver whatever it is I’ve just finished, after having procrastinated until the night before.  Do I love the fear of maybe not making it?  No!  Then what?  Having important work to do is the only time I actually feel like [...]

In the street…Dr Mary

by Patsyfox on March 4, 2010

There’s nothing quite like having a friend who’s working on a Ph.D. living next door, when you are working from home. Cup of tea? Great. Oh look – it’s 6 o’clock – make it a G & T? Lovely. It gets even better when they’re interested in what you do, because [...]

On The Street…Patsyfox

by Patsyfox on March 2, 2010

Geez, has it really been a year that I’ve been sitting here late at night eating wasabi peas and drinking brandy? Apparently so, because next week I celebrate the first birthday of Patsyfox with an exhibition of around 30 illustrations from throughout the year. Yes, exciting!
What’s even more exciting is the opening night [...]
