Time flies... when you're web designing?

After looking at a friend's new web design, I decided that www.fursuit.co.uk needed a fresh lick of paint. So I've set myself the task of making a new look for the site that's a bit more professional. All I've managed to come up with at the moment is this but it's lacking colour really. I'm partially colourblind so I'm a bit crap when it comes to picking colour schemes. All I can really do is steal colours from others or choose not to use colours at all. I plan to do more work on this tomorrow, it's just that I looked at the clock and realised the time...

In other news, I've more or less sorted what to do for my birthday. Sat lunchtime will be a pub lunch with the family and then in the evening, going to a pub with a bunch of friends and hopefully going to get pished.

That is all, night!

More furries on TV

Just finished watching that CSI show which features an investigation into a murder int he furry fandom. From my perspective as a fur who has been to a convention, I found it hilarious :) I really don't know what made them cover such a subject but in honesty it was rather well done. I don't think it was made tongue in cheek but the one liners the detectives come out with are just classics :D

If you can muster the download, it's worth a watch, just to see how furries are being protrayed to the American masses these days. I can't really understand how anyone could be offended or upset by this in the fandom as people obviously have been. I guess they don't have a sense of humour ;)

To quote Camrath, "it's factually wrong.. but it's great entertainment"

Lion King DVD

I've had the DVD boxset of The Lion King ordered since I knew there was a box set version. When my Dad received the Region 1 (US) box set version, I was very impressed and was looking forward to getting the Region 2 (UK) equivilant. However, I actually saw the UK box set in the shops today and it certainly didn't look like what my Dad had. The UK box looks like something you'd give to a child for Christmas, not something more suitable to an adult collector. Turns out the difference is that the UK box set is called a "gift set" and the US one is called the "collectors edition". I was quite gutted at this and tried to cancel my order with Play but alas, it was already packing so I couldn't cancel. Regardless, I've ordered the Region 1 Collectors Edition for a whole £17 including postage from a Canadian site called www.dvdsoon.com. I'll either give the UK set away as a present or sell it on eBay.

For those who want to see the difference, this is the US collectors edition and this is the UK gift set. You can see why I'm a bit upset.

Meanwhile, it looks like The Lion King 2: Simbas Pride is selling extrodinarily well on eBay. Not a clue why, it was rubbish. Maybe you can't buy it anymore. Anyway, I've still got the DVD, maybe I should sell it and see if I can get the £50 that is seems to be going for...
