 Real live cow spotted in Manchester! So they shot it.   
There was supposed to be a cow at the big Asda out by Sportcity, but it’s not been put up yet. The same goes for the ones on Tib Street and Lever Street. They were all meant to be in place by the 5th. Link to this post! The bovine terrorists have started attacking two year olds. Fearing for my safety, I headed off to get the Wythenshawe and Airport Moos. The shiney new Forum is very impressive, but if it needs to have the lights on on a day as bright as this then there’s something wrong.   I’ve never actually flown out of Manchester Airport, only gone to drop people off and pick them up. And I’ve only ever gone there via the M56, so I got lost trying to cycle from Wythenshawe to Ringway. But it was a nice kind of lost, particularly on a day this sunny. I managed to get six of the seven cows, Alphadite is airside and I really didn’t want to piss off Police with guns. If anyone’s flying out of Manchester before September can they try to get me a picture please.   
And then I went to pay homage to Concorde, seeing as I was in the area. I also found the cutest little Vampire. I think I want one.   
Link to this post! Cowcam is still disturbingly decapitated. There’s supposed to be a cow on Oxford Road near Platt Park as of today, but I couldn’t find it. If anyone locates Bombay Bovine, please tell me.    A quick check of my list says I have 91 cows. 61 to go. Link to this post! A few more bovines from a wander around on Saturday. This was shortly after becoming a millionaire- I’m surprised the mad fool in the bright red mountain jacket cackling insanely and taking flash pictures of cows didn’t merit Police attention.   
Link to this post! With only some forms to fill out (and some tuition to pay), the first year of my HNC is now over. The fact that I’ve been given Summer projects suggests that they want me back, which is nice. I’m going to have to slot them in between my own Summer projects, though. Project 1 is Get a Job, but, failing that, I’m going to aim for setting myself a goal per week and seeing how many I can achieve. An ongoing goal is to get a week’s worth of Deputised Experts and Mary Tales done each week, so that when webcomicsnation finally goes online I’ll have a big healthy buffer of ready material. Other projects include learning enough Flash to do an interactive cow map, cycling- and documenting- the length of the Ship Canal, getting pictures for the Look Up, Look Down, series of walk guides around the city centre and aiming for a hundred miles a week on my bike ready for next year’s Bogle. One cow I found yesterday-  And the view from the window about twenty minutes ago-  Link to this post! via GeekPress, the ten most untranslateable words to and from English. It’s appropriate that Gobbledegook is one of the hardest English words to translate. Is there a word, I wonder, for turning up to a meeting despite knowing from experience that the other party isn’t going to appear, but you have to go because you never know, this time they may turn up. Or, (slightly) less complicated, someone who is so consistently unreliable that they’re unreliability has become something you can rely on. It’s all turning into my own version of Waiting for Godot only without the beatings and suicide attempts. Anyway, that’s what I spent yesterday afternoon doing. At least it was sunny and I got a few cow shots.    
And a few non-cow pictures-
I also found a couple of books to add to my wants list- High Tide: news from a warming world and the Dictionary of Imaginary Places. Link to this post! More cow pictures.    
Link to this post! It’s taken a while to transfer all the cow pictures Damian and I took on Saturday to the gallery and get them labelled. I’m still only a third of the way through the whole herd as well. Ickle has spotted that a few have already been vandalised, which is annoying but not unexpected.

AK47, as he calls himself, has removed a Tracy Emin pink neon sign called Just Love Me from outside the Hackney Empire theatre in east London…….he said: “It’s the tackiest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s just held together by a few nails. No joiner would let it out of his workshop.” Yesterday I was pondering getting a real live cow and leaving it in a pen in Piccadilly Gardens. But I decided it would be cruel because it would confuse the Scallies too much. Link to this post! Cow Parade starts today. Ickle pointed out the Cowparade map, and now I have a copy I’m going to try and find all 150 and get photos of them for the gallery. (Theme From Cow- Inspiral Carpets) Link to this post! The Visible Cow, a model made for the Canadian government. How very Hirst. via The Cartoonist Link to this post! The Cows are coming!. Sadly mine wasn’t chosen, so I present the design for your perusal. Link to this post! I’ve been working on the wackier of my CowParade proposals all day. I don’t know what the rules are on displaying the designs before the results have been announced, so I won’t. But I can say that I need to go away and make ‘Welcome to Cow Town’ sign in Illustrator now. Link to this post! My sister and I are going to enter designs for the Cow Parade. You can enter two each, so the plan is one fairly normal one and one totally off the wall. More when we’ve finished. Link to this post! |
