Right Now - A New Home

Hello to all our thousands of followers.
We'd like to let you know that Right Now! is in the process of moving house. We have already done most of the unpacking and heavy lifting, but you're welcome to pop in any time to this address:

Right Now,

The Internet.

Right Now - a brilliant idea.

Sas! Here's the obvious solution to our employment woes - let's set up a dinosaur museum/study centre in your back yard. You can start running it straight away and then in August 2012 I'll join you and we can expand the franchise with a tea-room in the kitchen, a shop in the living room and a raven/squirrel sanctuary in the cellar*. I know at least one family who would come all the way from Spain to see it!
Yes? Shall we?



*We could try to breed squavens!

Right Now

I love this. It is by the Royal Art Lodge, who are Canadians that I love!

Right Now...

...I am putting off Monday morning by delaying going to bed... not usually a sensible tactic but I will not learn my lesson.

Also I am listening to the bit of the Adam & Joe show that I missed yesterday (because I went out for lunch with the Poo Planner and other associated lovely humans), giggling like a fool, whilst drawing ravens. The last 2 things are not connected to eachother. I should probably do a diagram to illustrate this...

See how the bird-drawing is separate?

Finally I am smirking to myself about the time that brother Johnnie G and I decided that the most inappropriate Christmas present I could possibly give my aunt & uncle would be nude paintings of them from my imagination: "Here you are M and M, I wasn't sure what to give you so I've done a nude portrait of you from imagination!". John does a very good impression of their possible polite and interested reaction.

And that's the end of my peculiar post.

Just Then

I was chortling about how perturbed the kitten gets by the 'Hello, hello, hello' video and then I thought I should treat you to some photos of her doing a little dance. It's possibly a routine from Thriller. Can't seem to make the gif go the correct way up, but if you turn your computer on its side... http://i.picasion.com/pic40/4f69a09d610ddefb9ec22338015b49d8.gif

Right Now

Until I get around to donating the previously mentioned book to a charity shop I am considering covering it with something like this:

Right Now

I'm going to remove my last post because I don't like the picture and don't particularly want to be reminded of the horrible book! Thankfully it only interfered with 2 nights of sleep because it became a bit silly half way through and lost its spook value.
 If you didn't see the last post I am not going to explain, but here are some of my thoughts whilst reading the book in question: "Help - that's spooky", "Eek!", "Eh?", "Whaaaa?", "Oh yeah, Haworth is nice, I'd like to go back to Haworth soon", "Urrghh!", "The dog is going to do WHAT?", "That's very unpleasant!", "What's a Homunculus?", "Oh ,YUCK!" "This is just ridiculous!", and finally "Thank God that's finished." (Saskia can refer to my Bad Boy Bubby picture message  - my facial expression was very similar!)
Also,  I have just realised that I haven't yet got hold of the book we will be discussing at the book group on Tuesday. Hmmm. maybe I'll get to the library on Monday and be able to read some in time. Thankfully it's short stories. And, hopefully, with nary a mention of supernatural homunculi.

Right Now

I am feeling a bit sick after reading this.

Right Now

I am chuckling about the fact that my mother recently decided to throw this bottle of shampoo away because "it made my scalp itch". Yes mum - THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S NEARLY 40 YEARS OLD! You've been washing your hair in antique liquid!

I feel a bit mean writing this because she obviously had no idea how long it had been in the house and apparently John had a phase of washing his hair with baby shampoo (the big girl!) in his teens or twenties - but I guess even that phase would have been at least 15 years ago! And as I pointed out to my parents, they haven't sold shampoo in bottles like that since the 70s! If only we could still read that price tag it would almost certainly have a 1/2p on it and possibly be pre-decimal!

Right Now

This is all!

Right Now

I have nothing of interest to report except that I got up at 8am this morning and immediately made an enormous VAT (nothing Value Added) of Ratatouille! And then I did aerobics! Such energetic unemployment! Don't worry I will be imbibing booze tonight to restore balance.

Right now I've been meaning to post this since November. Hmmm.

The liquid part of my birthday meal - I think that equals my NY drink count! xx

Public Art in Oxford

Oh wow... like... this like...is, what it ...says. And if you look closely it's written in excrem paint.

Right Now

I am keeping with the theme and being amused that I still know the first 20 elements from learning them for GCSE chemistry. I think it was the only thing I learnt.
H He Li B Be C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar K Ca. I remember it as Haich Hee Lee Bee Ba CNOF Neee naaa mg al sips clarka! Now recite after me...

Right Now I'm replying to Berek's post (is that cheating?)

Yes Berek  - do it! And then sing about it.

(Our Chemistry teacher used to play this for us as an end of term "treat"! These days of course I love Tom Lehrer.)

Right Now

I am very tempted to make one of these for myself http://www.geekologie.com/2009/02/its_elemental_a_periodic_table.php

Right Now - A Documentary And Advert

Hello fellow RightNowers,
 I've been too shy to show this till now cos it's so silly, but  anyway here is my documentary about squirrels with incorporated advert. Apparently it's not possible to make out all the words, but hopefully the pictures will tell the story... maybe I'll add the words to the blurb at some point. Sadly some of the colours & sound quality were lost when I had to compress it and it also went slightly out of sync - but enough excuses! I'm doing a new one now which is also instructional and an advert and has a catchy song which I can't get out of my head!
Hope this answers your question about the Adobe course Berek - I had a very jolly time!

Right Now...

...I am delighted to announce that I've discovered the existence of a group of all-women plumbers called Stopcocks!

Right Now

I think it's time to share my favourite talking cat video of the day... (the kitten jumped from on top of my hanging rail into my lap in the middle of that sentence - very apt!)

Right Now

I have just realised that despite my valiant attempt to rouse my fellow bloggers to the cause I completely failed to rise my self. I apologies. So...right now I am saddened to hear that Anna cannot wink ambidextrously and feel grateful that I can. Though if it makes you feel any better my dear Anna I look like a moron winking whatever eye I use so it does not aide in any way with dating. On the theme of Anna how was the Adobe course? Saskia although I am not usually moved to such things I must say that your kitten pic did make me let out a little "ahhh".
Have a good weekend RightNowers and happy Blogging!
RightNow East London over and out.

Right Now - Uncomfortable Changes In Tone.

Right now I am totally charmed and delighted by Saskia's last post.

Also I am grateful that I ended up giving one of the people I manage lifts to our training course all last week meaning I got to know more about her in a few days than I have over the last 3 years - it's incredible to me that she has been through so much and is still so strong and positive. She fled from Sierra Leone about 12 years ago during a rebel attack, completely losing track of her husband for 9 years, having to cope with being separated from her daughter for similar period; arriving in the UK with no belongings, speaking no English, with nowhere to go and knowing nobody at all.

Finally I am pleased to have finished my silly cartoon and will post it soon.

Right Now...

...I have a little kitten asleep on my lap and grumpy old cat asleep at my feet. Is it bad that I don't think things get much better than this?? I have been making art and the cats have been snoozing most of the day! I feel all content!

Right now

I am a bit excited about going on an adobe flash course tomorrow and Sunday, but annoyed that my brain won't switch off enough for me to go to sleep now.

Right NOW

I am sad because I've remembered that I can only wink with my left eye which means I can only tell people that I hate them or that I'm married! No wonder I'm single!

Right Now...

...I am thinking OH GOODness, my computer has been LYING to me - my RightNow bookmarky thing claimed that no posts had been posted since Sas's moustache-ring post. (Good job I don't mind the word "post" and its relations). However, thanks to your comment the other day (yesterday?), Sas, I decided to double-check and lo, there have been some extremely (a)rousing posts from my fellow right-nowers! I feel born again! I've possibly had too much caffeine. 2011 is indeed the year for marvellous bloggings and general good stuff. I will post some good things. I will.

PS -  I LOVE the eye flirting stuff - Sas, how did you find the transition from winking twice with your right eye to winking twice with your left eye on Friday evening? Must've been tricky. Have you been practicing it for the last couple of months at the same time as practicing your new signature? xxx

Right Now!

I am feeling extremely roused! (Not aroused, you understand). I agree with the King! This is it. The year to blog... What am ACTUALLY doing right now is being in bed with a hangover! Naughty naughty. Not the behaviour of a responsible blogger. Although I am using the opportunity to watch 'Carnivale'... review to follow.

Right Now!

Right Now, along with a belated Happy New Year, I would like to give a rousing blog.

Friends! Right Nowers! Country people! Dust off your keyboards, put aside your Christmas trinkets and get your fingers tapping.
It is time we got this old steam car of thoughts, inspirations and inspirational thoughts up and running again. It's time for Right Nows, Just Nows and yes maybe even Back Whens. The world has been lost in a sea of not knowing what we've been doing and we cannot let this injustice go on any longer. It's time for action people, time we sat down and made a difference.
2010 is dead and gone and the time for silence is over, 2011 will be known as the year of the blog.
Mark this day bloggers for it will go down in history as the day that started it all, the day people rose up and shouted in the street "THE TIME FOR TRUTH HAS NOT PASSED, THE TIME IS RIGHT NOW!"

Right Now

I'd like to wish the team that brings you 'Right Now' a very happy new year! I hope that this year even more things will happen right now/back then/back when xxx
