Doing the laundry with Matt
Me: We really need to do an underwear wash!
Matt: But I only count nine of your panties in the laundry basket?
Me: I can't fit into most of the others anymore, so these nine panties have to go in the laundry ASAP!
Matt: Okay, okay... (gathers them up and heads down the stairs to do a small cycle, then stays downstairs playing Monster Hunter)
Me: (potters about bedroom for ten minutes before noticing a pair of panties on the floor) LOL, silly boy dropped one! I'll go tease him about it... (walks down corridor) wait a second... there's another! (stomp down the stairs, increasingly more irate) THERE'S ANOTHER THREE IN THE HALLWAY! WTF!!??
Matt: (calling from the living room) What's wrong? Do you need anything?
Me: NINE PANTS! OUT OF NINE PANTS, YOU DROPPED FIVE!!! GRAAAAAAH!!!

Matt and his infinite wisdom/praise
Me: Help me up, please!
Matt: (offers hand and pulls me up off the sofa)
Me: Urgh, sorry for being such a whale!
Matt: Don't be silly, you're not a whale. You're more like... a mothership.
Me: ...

Yes, I’m OFFICIALLY ON MATERNITY LEAVE UNTIL January 2014, WOOHOO!!! So only personal/fun projects from now until then. If you were hoping to hire me for work/commissions etc. very sorry, but I will probably be...

Archive of fyredrake.net updates 2011-2012
This is a just a summary post of past news/announcements on my website from 2011 to 2012 to keep as a record, as I’m discontinuing my RSS feed (because I don’t make that many website announcements!) It’s a good way to check up on what things I’ve done. So I’m introducing a new hashtag for keeping track of such stuff, #fyredrake-news!

To my unborn son: waking up with you
As the March frost burns away in the burgeoning sunlight, I stir as you do the same.
The cat hurdles over my legs on the way to the window sill, seeking a warm refuge by the radiator. Its gurgles echo through the otherwise silent, still house. The feline perches delicately, lifting her tail away from the hot metal. She turns and rills at me. I hold a staring competition with her; my vision is...

Alternative clothing for babies
First off, I HATE typical gender-stereotyped baby clothes. Yes, I know he’s going to be a boy, but the last thing I will do is dress him in the usual blue stuff with cars and footballs. *shudder*
Second, I am very picky with my own fashion and I want my little #PrinceLeong to be adorned appropriately to match. Much as there are cute, super bright things out there, it’s not really...
