This photo was taken on my ironing board today in the indirect afternoon light of my living room. I like the way it turned out with the stripey ironing board pattern. Happily, a shiny new high-capacity memory card arrived in the mail this afternoon… so I set up a white sheet of paper on the ironing board to document its arrival. It’s a Class 10! I sort of know what that means!

It also has 16GB capacity so I’ll never need to empty it. Now I can return the 2GB memory card to my point-and-shoot camera where it belongs. I’d like to make a cheap lightbox (like this one, perhaps) for future object shoots.

We jointly decided this morning, accompanied by our good friend COFFEE, that one section of the layout should be zombie-fied. Little bloody/guts-showing miniature figures set up on one part of town where a derailed train has been burned (or is on fire) and a few non-zombie miniature figures huddled in small groups with cricket bats and beer. The zombies will be headed toward the part of town that remains (for the time) unscathed.

And in that unscathed part of town, there will (at the very least) be a MirthMobile parked outside Stan Mikita’s donut shop.

I would also like to see a secondary layout that reflects the late 1800s, with steam engines and top hats. And a TARDIS.

Gods bless Sundays with strong coffee and Doctor Who on DVD. So say we all.
