I like the "fisherman" chic, especially in this weather. And nice to see University carpets are the same the world over, lovely architecture or not.

Genes will out; my dad happens to be a rather famous fisherman (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/002-3018551-6788859):



There are no flies in my hat, though.

(I certainly intend to call my autobiography 'A Life Of Fly Fishing' too, by the way.)

Yes, well, let's not go there, shall we? I'm eating my breakfast here.

The second pic is one of the coolest pics of you that i've seen. I'd say that cam works pretty well.

[imomus.livejournal.com]

That was taken in very low light, and came out nicely because the camera was balancing on the door handle. But generally the low light performance is very poor because of the slow lens. It's very hard to get results which aren't blurred or shaky. And the camera's design – more like a cellphone than a camera, all swivelable and Star Trekky – makes it really hard to balance for timer shots when you're using some random post as a makeshift tripod and want to run round and get in the picture yourself. The thing's likely to fall down in the slightest puff of breeze... Apart from that, though, great.

may sound mean, but in the second pic you are so the gay beastie boy they wouldn't let join the group.

[imomus.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, 'the gay Beastie Boy'! I used to get called 'the third Pet Shop Boy', you know, but I think I prefer 'the gay beastie'.

Suggs joins the Countryside Alliance set?

[oracolodeifont.livejournal.com]

how's the sound recording?

[jenlight.livejournal.com]

My envy of your cool toys knows no bounds.

[imomus.livejournal.com]

Well, it's good. But infuriatingly there's no sound recording setting. You can't just record sound on its own. You have to record a video and strip the sound out of it with software.

[azzy23.livejournal.com]

That's actually quite good, in my opinion. Very crisp looking.

I've fished in a few flies myself!

I can never keep those plastic Birkenstocks on my feet.

Someone said gay Beastie, but right when I saw that picture, I immediately thought of this Cape Breton lad:



And also this bloke:

i really like the first one. the white space behind you is really something.

[warhooligan.livejournal.com]

I think you look rather handsome in the photos, but if I had to play pick a celebrity, as it seems so many have done, I would say the U.S.'s Chris Elliot.

Nice pics, although you appear to have stolen my Thinsulate gloves - give them back!!

[chickensnack.livejournal.com]

How's the battery life on that thing? I want one!

Hey Momus,
I am so hung over. Gawd.
What do you do for hang overs?

[paletree.livejournal.com]

does this mean you'll finally post those nudes you promised in october?

[kojapan.livejournal.com]

Wooooo!

Re: new cam

[imomus.livejournal.com]

Yes, still the German one!

[imomus.livejournal.com]

This will probably sound sickening, but I don't think I've ever had a hangover. I always stop after two drinks, because they stop making me feel better and start making me feel worse at that point.

[imomus.livejournal.com]

I'd say the battery life is only... just acceptable. If you used it a lot, it soon needs a new charge.

[imomus.livejournal.com]

I don't know who that Chris Elliot feller is, but from a Google image search I'd say he looks a lot more like AmPatch artist Rroland (http://www.imomus.com/rrolandpromosmall.jpeg) than me:

[kojapan.livejournal.com]

well, I guess that would stop a hang over.

[warhooligan.livejournal.com]

its brilliant because rroland actually looks sort of like bob elliot, his father.
I think chris elliot is funny, but not everyone does. He was in the movie "cabin boy".

[the-3am-blues.livejournal.com]

too sexy for livejournal!

Re: Cybershot

[thetemplekeeper.livejournal.com]

Not to worry - I managed to get in touch with him by email: apparently, "Buried Dreams" is going to come out as a (free?) download at (http://thestate51conspiracy.com)... Any idea what the Toop/Eastley "Doll Creature" album is like? I think I'll get that too...

[flyonawndshield.livejournal.com]

haha! have you covered any other PSB songs than "So hard"? I really like your version.
