Favorite Track off "Aether Shanty" Album



I'd love to have a video for this to post, but Abney Park doesn't have the resources, and I don't have the time. I like to listen and imagine a George Eliot style of tragedy...although I don't think anything she'd write about such a situation would be very forgiving on either side. Thoughts of "The Veil" come to mind.

So, My Friends Are Specializing Their Blogs

Which just makes me think about posting regularly on mine. If I do, it's going to be a whole lot of tea, teapots, in addition to ideas from my steampunk obsession. I better finish soon! Unfortunately a semi-romance is also taking up some of my time.

Eureka (I have it!) I am currently re-purposing some clothes into steampunk gear. Right now I have a rather naff tweed blazer (H&M made, but not really their best stuff) that I'm turning into a waistcoat), a pair of striped trousers that will be (someday) jodhpurs, and a nice bibfront shirt that will be worn with leather bustier and detached sleeves (slightly more Steam than most of my clothes). It's mostly been seam-ripping lately but I want to complete them soon.

Stephen Fry's Exciting Position on Urban Outreach



Also: To anyone who googled "Stephen+Fry+exciting+position", I suggest you drink a cup of chai and calm down.
