all the world's a stage...

I'm a Computer Science undergraduate in my final year studying at Reading University. I like music, movies, photography, reading and if I can ever get around to it, writing. Also a fan of horror, sci-fi and fantasy so there's plenty of re/blogging on those areas.


I write gig/event reviews at From The Pit


Currently conducting my Serotonin Experiment in a last ditch attempt to hopefully alleviate the symptoms of CFS/ME.


Elsewhere on the web:

Flavors.me
Songkick

Or Ask Me Anything


Many tweaks to this and web presence in general in the pipeline... when I get around to it.

…a large wolf :/

Originally posted on my Facebook but I suspect there may be others who’ve experienced a similar predicament so I’m sharing my story here! :)

Lincrafts Large Wolf

The desire to lie in bed cuddling big cuddly toy increases proportionally to how worn-down I’m feeling.

Lestat de Lioncourt used to curl up with his mastiffs for warmth and comfort but a cuddly toy is going to be the closest I’ll ever get to curling up with a wolf.

My brief search this morning has led me to discover the following:

  1. Wolves are a rarity in the world of cuddly toys. Particularly compared to the obscenely common teddy bear.
  2. In the entire world - or at least, the world as represented by the Internet - there is apparently only one wolf toy (of the larger variety) on sale.
  3. This is the “Lge Lying Wolf by Hansa Toys” from http://www.lincrafts.com/wolf.htm - It is a “truly realistic animal” according its Amazon listing and it’s a whole metre length of Canis lupus plushie.
  4. Cuddly toys can be far more expensive than I could ever have imagined. This one costs £300. Yes, you read correctly: Three Hundred Pounds Sterling.
