Day 86 of #100days: "It's our time down here."


I couldn't fit Data on the page, so I had to glue on a bit more page.
I could watch The Goonies every day and still not get bored.
The Goonies got played a lot on the old Ferguson Videostar.

Day 85 of #100days: "Where we're going, we don't need roads."


Good old Marty McFly. Good old Michael J. Fox. Good old time travel. Bad Libyans.

Only 15 days left now. It'll be weird when it's all over. Maybe all the Hundred-Dayers can celebrate March 10th every year as a new holiday: "Better Person Day". A hundred days is nearly a third of a year. And I appear to have spent most of a third of a year cutting up books. I'm not sure what that says about my chosen profession. I do know I find it very therapeutic, though. And quite fun.

Day 84 of #100days: "Help me Obi Wan, etc"


Everyone's favourite princess... Leia. Even if she did snog her brother.

Day 83 of #100days: Ouch


...continuing with the video theme. I like themes. Themes are good.

Day 82 of #100days: "I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen."


That old Ferguson Videostar got me reminiscing about all the videos I used to watch and love. It only felt right to make a paper cut-out John Cusack, from possibly one of the greatest "music" scenes in any film, ever.

Day 81 of #100days: ferguson (killed the) videostar


Day 81 saw a call out from Hundred Days HQ for video. I briefly entertained the idea of doing some kind of stop-motion wizardry, but I'm nowhere near tech enough, and the Mr (who could probably do that kind of thing with his eyes closed) is in Italy, so I came up with a plan B: a paper representation of my beloved old Ferguson Videostar, in all its toploading glory. Ah, Ferguson Videostar, how I loved thee.

Day 80 of #100days: toy o'clock


At work I was sent a link to a site called Toy-A-Day, for half term activity ideas. It's brilliant. There are so many that I want to make. There's even a template so you can design your own.

This book-cut was inspired by these toys. (I still appear to be pilfering.)
