Before & After & Inbetween

Spent the last three hours finally watching the end of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes - The New Thesis" - only complaint: cliffhanger ending & the next season is not yet available *dah sigh*. OTOH, they really followed the books in this - with character designs, plotlines, and styles! So the cliffhanger is bearable. :-)

Of course, now I combine mentally Yoshiki Tanaka's LotGH with the Dixing crash, but *shrug* that's an image I can live with. *eg*

If you are curious, the trailer is on Youtube at https://youtu.be/gZwqJbgb2yw

A couple of posts about the tv series Game of Thrones have sprung up across my friends lists in the last couple of days, probably caused by the dvd release of season 1 in Germany and the airing of season 2 (?).
I've followed the posts closely and - so far - I've come to the conclusion that Game of Thrones is one of those fandoms, which I will avoid because I love the books and the tv show, and find its grisly depictions entirely befitting the source. (I only mourn that the direwolves didn't get as much attention as I'd wished for them).

Edit: Not all comments I got here are without spoilers, though. :/

Yes, after all this time there is finally some progress in DeskSex. Unfortunately, its far from done. I'm not satisfied with the results yet. Which is - at least partially - due to the fact that I liked the original version as a scene, even if not as part of the plot. This is not quite a full page and still needs excessive work. But we're getting closer. Definitely. Even though I spend way too much time setting up my GoodReads account. It's so much fun (and such a time hog)! At least, my most recent reviews are finally all up, though the amount of my books entered is still way below 10%. :)

This was fun, though the list of fandoms probably says more about my current (or most recent) reads than about my closest ties. :-)

Mobi Technologies Headphones - cute, bigheaded figures for sound on the desk.
This article is in German, but important is the photo series...

I hope I'm not the only one who considers the position of the Sumo wrestler figure's microphone jack ambiguous. *EG*

After the small one, I'm back to my normal jigsaw puzzle size:

Spotted this on shinga's blog recently (ditto for the blogs of rurounitriv and bruinhilda). Go to http://blackacrebrewing.com/home/ . (You might have to temporarily allow the site in NoScript). When the age verification comes up, tell it you're under 21. Make sure you have your sound on.
You know, I did always wonder what the world would be like when my generation was in charge...

...and you probably do not want to sip from your coffee just then (except you have a liquid-proof keyboard)!

A nice person invited me to Google+, where I now have an account but don't know anybody (yet).

Israeli artist David Kawena portrayed Tarzan, Aladdin, and therelike in "Chippendale Style"...

Adonis-like Disney heroes (probably not safe for work)!

...however, I'm missing Goliath, the Gargoyle. ;)

This time I did a small one:
