Lady Geek App-ocalypse

I wrote the script for this new episode of the Lady Geek App Show. It features a not-entirely-terrifying zombie apocalypse. And shopping.

GUARANTEED LAUGH

I have found out that using three or more synonyms for the word “Nothing” is a SURE-FIRE formula for LAUGHS APLENTY. The more synonyms you can find and put in, the bigger the laugh.

For example

“Nothing, nada, nil!”.

But wait…
“Nothing, zip, zilch, zero, nada, bupkis!!!”

But before you go putting this SURE-FIRE DEAD-CERT GUARANTEED HOWLER into your comedic scripts be aware that I have registered copyright on this phrase and if you don’t pay me to use it I will SUE YOU.

Chilly Dip


I’m a pretty poor swimmer. But since I swam in the sea on holiday a few years ago, I can see what all the fuss is about. So I decided to try swimming in Hampstead Mixed Bathing Pond – in May. The water was so cold that I got in and straight out again.
A couple of weeks later the weather had warmed up and I went in again, this time swimming as far as the first lifebelt (eight of which are arranged in a rough square to give swimmers a visual cue for doing laps) and, slightly panicky, swam back to the ladder.
Since I have asthma, I’ve always been a bit worried about not being able to catch my breath, and the pressure of water, especially cold water, makes it harder to breathe – I end up gasping for air, tensing up, and it gets very hard to swim.
But this morning I successfully completed three laps around the pond, feeling like I could have done more!

New Showreel

Here’s my new showreel. It doesn’t include the promos I directed and animated for Cartoon Network, they’ll have to come later.

Pippy Bags and Voodoo Dollies

Here is a fascinating craft project from Frank Key which presupposes ownership of a Pippy Bag.

What’s a Pippy Bag? You may well ask.

Come on Dave

Come on Dave

Dave has the most patient friend. Rather than ring the doorbell to hurry him up, the guy channels his frustration into artistic expression.

Lady Geek App Show


I’ve been writing scripts and animating for Lady Geek TV. It’s an app show specifically aimed at women and trying to show apps which make a practical difference. You can find all the episodes here. or subscribe via iTunes.

Both On Trains and In Hell…

…the milk is UHT, but at least in Hell the tea is hot.
