Easter - or, as it's better known in the real world - the Spring Equinox (don't call me out on this or start me off, please!), has been a time of great bounty this year. Traditionally, we do a couple of chocolate eggs (because we like chocolate) and that's pretty much it, but this year, I must have been a really good boy because somehow I've ended up with mugs! A new Doctor Who mug (that makes four now), a Lost mug, a Desperate Housewives mug and a WWE RAW/Smackdown mug. Game on. Nothing pleases me more than slinging out old mugs that say nothing about our family. My favourite though is still the Doctor Who: Judoon Captain/Dalek mug. It's round at the bottom and by the time it gets to the top, it's square and by a scientific miracle, keeps tea warmer than any other mug we have. You might laugh, but what mugs have you got? It's nigh on the first thing you give somebody who comes into your house and if it ain't singing your tune, it's worse than letting them go straight to your underwear drawer for a rummage.

Not sure what happened to the chocolate that came with them... hmm.

Nice chunky developments this weekend on the publishing front. Charlie has been battering hell out of the art for Too Hot For Dogs so fast that it has forced my hand to do some extra work! We've knocked up a dummy issue to play with and so far, it's looking great. Nowhere near finished but certainly a lot more complete than it was on Saturday. I'll post a pic of the dummy cover in the sidebar tonight. It will probably change but I'm really happy with it. It's starting to feel real now.

Estimated time of completion? Later.

BURN is also starting to take on more of a life of its own again. The plan has been planned and we're just working through it now - and there's freaking stacks of it! Should you give a damn, the unofficial bits are coming together from the blogspace, while the corporate end is being built somewhere else. I'll worry about that later though... readers first, blaggers later. That's a pretty good rule of thumb.

Meanwhile, Carnival of Souls, Turn the Lamp and Hunter are all making good use of the flame that's still in residence at the backburner motel. Times are good. I've had to buy another two notebooks to keep up with the brain activity - I've plugged into something for sure. Hope it doesn't dry up!

That's my hour up! Things to do...
