Hugely so to you all:

 I make a rather formidable Jeeves.
On a more interesting note, I have more art!

( Formidability is underrated )

Shrinkie Dink!

Hello my petals!

Okay, I've been terribly negligent of all of you, my dears! But here-- this is a story I've been working on passively for about a year! Madness.

It brings two things I've been seeking in the J/W world.

1. Intercrural action.
2. A Historical figure who isn't Oscar Wilde! (Not that I don't love the man, but still)

Without further ado:


Jeeves and the Psychologist

Enjoy!

Who Do You Think You Are, Stephen Fry?

Did anyone watch this show? It was obviously bought from the UK and was screened on SBS tonight. I only found out about it because it was advertised on The Age online.

There will probably be those who don't know what I'm talking about, so I had better explain. Who Do You Think You Are? appears to be a sort of documentary of the lives of well-known Britons. Stephen's segment showed me yet again that I knew nothing at all about him. :-) Apparently his name is really Neumann - unless it was changed by deed poll, nothing was said - and his family came from Czechoslovakia (Slovakia). Stephen went to see his parents and went off on a journey to trace his ancestry, first at home, then in Europe.

One ancestor was in and out of the poorhouse, another was in gaol, though he couldn't find out why, and he found out where his forebears had lived and had been deported to, and sniffled a bit now and then. One branch of the family was wiped out in the holocaust. If his grandfather had not decided to emigrate to take a job in a sugar mill, his family would have gone the same way and Stephen would never have been born.
