Almost two months and one thousand pageviews later, I return. I can't believe it's been so long between updates. I've been around online...a lot, but mostly with effortless things - like updating twitter and Facebook. I've also occassionaly stopped by dA to skim through a journal or two, or favourite some art - nothing indepth though. So I apologise for not being able to read and comment on everyones wonderful sumbissions, I'll try to catch up soon .

I planned to update on so many things I've been meaning to update on for a long time. But the moment has been and gone, so I'll stick with the current.

22k pageviews!
...nearly 23k now Anyhoo, a big congratulations goes to who scored the 22k screenshot! ...two months later and I still haven't finished the artworK sorry! I have been working on it. It looks awful though I'm stuck on what to do for a background...I have some idea, so I'll try and finish it off today

...no prize for 23k, it'd never get done

art-wise
Besides the 22k artwork, I'm going to start working on some paintings. Like the one mentioned in the previous journal + a new one.
I'm recycling some canvases for these new artworks. It almost seems symbolic in some way. The last time I touched these old canvases...well, nevermind. From one...something to another, these canvases are being recycled, and it almost seems symbolic in the way they're being painted over to be used again, to be transformed into something new. And no matter how much you paint over them, the textures of the previous peice still remain in one way or another and they blend with the new paint to take on new forms. Even the time spent waiting for the new coat of paint to dry seems to have speak of meanings.
...prefessional bullshit artist much?

life-wise
I'm officially on holidays. I had my final exam on Thursday - it was a bitch of an exam. I think I may have failed It was so difficult But for now, everything is over. I am freeeee ...until next semester.

Also, great news, my ex-employer sent me a letter the other day. They got Audited, and also conducted their 'own audit'. The result? they were forced to pay me because I was either "underpaid or owed backpay" or something like that. So they paid me about $150. SUCK SHIT JERKWADS! YOU DESERVE TO BE AUDITED YOU DODGY BASTARDS! ahahahahaha
..so now I have money for cosplay

cosplay-wise
I'm about to start on my new cosplay before this money disappears! I just need to decide what fabric to make the outfit out of - stupid video games and their materials that don't look like anything in particular. I also have a limited budge, which makes things rather frustrating. And I also can't find enough screenshots of the character I need, and I can't take my own because they've re-skinned the character I'm doing I was going to make the outfit out of black and grey suede, but that will get rather costly, and heavy I think I might just try and track down a nice cotton fabric or something similar.

Game-wise
I'm playing WoW again!

Music-wise
I was fortunate enough to get a free ticket to Evermore's show in Brisbane last night. It was one of the most amazing shows I have EVER seen. I've been skeptical of their new 'concept' album for quite some time. Admittedly, over time, it has grown on me. Seeing them perform the entire album, from start to finish, blew my mind. They put in so much life and passion - it was entirely refreshing, if not most inspiring. The energy they put into their performance was stunning. They are as brilliant as they ever were.

...plus it was great getting to catch up with Peter and Dann after the show. I haven't spoken to them in two years! We were the last punters to leave the venue, lol. For the first time in ages we weren't kicked out by security while talking to them xD I hope they come back to Brisbane soon. They're such fun people.

Also, my gloomy Bear backpack attracted SO much attention throughout the night. While bands were on stage, I had people behind me taking photos with the bag on my back! xD

End
I've partly run out of things to ramble on, and partly have to go out. So, bye!

Also, I've said it before, but I thought I'd say it again now that everyone has got twitter; Heartgrenade - find me and stalk me!
