No Smoking, More Knitting

I've been smoke free for 31 days and I'm absolutely gagging for a cigarette. Before I gave up completely, I'd cut down to only a few fags very late at night, but now I'm craving ALL DAY. This is not a good sign.

I started my Open University course this weekend and we've kicked off with a study of the Realist Novel. Pride and Prejudice. Great Expectations. Fathers and Sons. And Frankenstein as an example of the Anti-realist novel. I'm dreading having to critique and discuss Fathers and Sons because my honest opinion is that it's a pile of shit. I don't think I'll get a very good mark if I put that in an essay :OD

On the bright side, here is my latest creation. Everyone, meet ...

Piccalo!






He's outgoing, fun, definitely a showbiz kinda guy (I'm thinking the stage), and when I give him to [livejournal.com profile] big_balls she will probably rename him Colin.
