Never too late!

*sings* It's not too late, it's never too late!

...

It would do you well to read the Language Construction Kit and begin.

Do I have to actually buy stuff?
I'll have to look for an open-source book.

Note that I did not underline or italicize the LCK found here:

It is known that the other WP can be unreliable, but it makes for an excellent portal and compilation of many links and connections. For more sounds not discussed in the LCK, you may wish to see these articles:

Thanks!

*Waits expectantly for news of a new conlang*

I'm not a conlang expert, though. I don't think I could even make one by myself.

I felt the same way when I started. Trial and error (and mainly, a concept/goal/theme) will produce good results (and it need not be completely done to be enjoyed).

I can't believe I spent a whole day sometime last week looking at clothes on the internet! Granted, it was for artistic purposes (for some original characters of mine), but it's rare for me to be doing that.

I just spent the last five minutes raiding the pantry with my sister...

I was channel surfing the other night and noticed it was playing on PBS. I thought, "Oh, right. We Americans aren't supposed to get it until May." I watched all three episodes of Season 2 on Dailymotion.com the day after they aired in the UK in January. What's the point of the delay?

EDIT: Whatta ya know, they're still there. (Link.) I thought the BBC would have had them taken down by now. That user also uploaded the wonderful movie Hawking, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Hawking.

So, what ammo did I get (my treat for getting fillings done)?

I got a box of 50 .22LR subsonic HP cartridges (36 grain), which has a cute little bunny on the box. I'm keeping that box sealed and put in my collection. They have 40 grain supersonic .22LRs with a Fox on the box; I'll get one of those next. I won't shoot any of these (I shoot the basic bulk stuff). I'll move on to another brand after that.

I bought two packs of 00 Buckshot in 12 Gauge (5 shells per pack); just adding more hunting ammunition to the box. I don't have a really big box, so I can't really hold a lot of large caliber stuff; the 5 packs of buckshot and slugs fit quite nicely when on their side. The 20 shell boxes are huge in comparison.

I feel quite frustrated with WP lately.
