Tintin Mouse!
I have a bunch of posts lined up for the weekend, but for now (because I will be late to GeekFight) I want to show you my new pal.
I was itching to paint something (I haven’t felt like painting in two years!) and broke open this blank Mickey Mouse figure my brother gave me on my last birthday. It’s been sitting on my shelf for months, and I’d been thinking about what to do with it.
Inspired by my Singapore trip, I decided to turn it into Tintin!
So I took out my dusty paintbox…
Et voila!
He’ll be moving to my office desk soon.
Meanwhile I must dash. But more later, I promise! And cross your fingers we win GeekFight tonight! :)

The GeekFight Halloween Party was last Friday, and the team I play with, WAADO, had a Best in Costume record to keep (we won last year), we decided to dress up again this year. GeekFight is a monthly (or bi-monthly, depending on which games you attend) trivia quiz on geeky topics, and we’ve been…

… the ten thousand things I have to do before the year ends will just have to wait. I’ll be at National Book Store’s The Adventures of Tintin premiere! I’ve been a big Tintin fan ever since I learned to forage for the comics in the grade school library, and The Secret of the Unicorn and…
Bookish Crafts

I’m in the middle of composing some reviews at the moment, but here’s something I want to share with you in the meantime: bookish crafts! I’ve been poking around my crafts supplies trying to get some creative juices running. I’m still in that illustration funk (for over a year now, sadface), but crafting is getting…
Giveaway: Sign Language Vintage Alphabet Stamps

I can never go into a bookstore and come out empty-handed. Even when I challenge myself to hold off on buying books, the stationery junkie that I am can’t help wandering in the supply aisles and I end up spending a small fortune on stuff I tell myself I’ll eventually find use for. Just the…

This Christmas, I prepared something special for my book club friends — bookmarks! Bookmarks are always a big hit over at Flips Flipping Pages. We have bookmarks for every book discussion we have every month, and we like to give out bookmarks on special occasions, too — we all never seem to have enough of…

(Sorry for the delayed post — had no electricity for over 24 hours due to that last storm!) This weekend was my first free weekend in a long, long while, and it was spent vegging out, bargain book hunting, and watching more episodes of The Big Bang Theory (as well as Bounty Hunter and…

A couple of weeks ago, I went on an Old Manila Heritage Tour sponsored by the Pilipinas Stamp Collectors’ Club, a tour that covered the Metropolitan Theatre, the Arroceros Forest Park, Liwasang Bonifacio, and the Manila Post Office. It was not as organized as I would have liked, but then again it was a free…
Free Comic Book Day

Saturday was Free Comic Book Day at Fully Booked, and I couldn’t resist going. I meant to go last year but it coincided with one of my book club meetings so I really wanted to make it this year, not so much for the free comic book but for the 20% discount on comics and…
More Po-Mo picture books (Picture book roundup 10)
about 3 years ago - 2 comments
I’ve been fascinated with postmodern picture books ever since I took a course in children’s books back in college. Since then I’ve been building up my collection of po-mo picture books, and I’ve now got over 20 of them, mostly from rummaging through bargain bins. I love how po-mo picture books challenge the reader to…
A little more Tintin

I had just posted an entry about Herge’s The Adventures of Tintin a month ago when the copy of Flight 714 (#120 for 2009) I mooched arrived and I couldn’t resist reading it straightaway. I also recently acquired The Pocket Essential Tintin (#121 for 2009) at a Goodwill sale in Tiendesitas, and decided to read…
