ARGH!!
Really gonna try to post more regularly. >.<


Been a bit of a hectic week. I’ve been working mostly, but other things have been going on.

My uncle almost burnt his house down earlier in the week. he’s ok, but he had to be admitted to hospital for smoke inhalation. And today my mum had to go into hospital cuz she has stomach pains. We don’t know what it is yet, still waiting on the surgical consult.

So yeah. Hectic.

I also got randomly attacked by a dog today. I was walking home from the train station and I passed by this dude walking a pair of dogs. The one nearest me, a big Alsatian, apparently didn’t like the look of me cuz he took a swipe at my leg. Fortunately I dodged in time and he didn’t get his teeth into me, but it wasn’t till I had got home till I realised he had torn a great big gash in my jeans. *shrugs* oh well. Guess I’ll have to dig out my sewing kit.


Been watching and reading a lot of anime and manga this week. I bought a few volumes of AI Love You for really cheap the other day and so have been reading them, as well as a few Appleseed volumes. I watched Nausicaa of the valley of the wind” yesterday and quite enjoyed it. I want a lil aero-glider like the one Nausicaa flies around on. ^^
I also watched Karas: The Prophesy yesterday. It was really good, although a little confusing. The most confusing aspect of Kara is that its split into two parts, Prophesy and Revelation, but even worse is that it isn’t two movies, it’s a 6 part OVA, but its set out like a movie. So its really hard to follow the flow of the story. The special effects are stunning though.

I also got round to watching the first two episodes of Persona: Trinity Soul. Its ok, but I don’t really like the art style, and it’s almost NOTHING like the game Persona 3, on which it’s based. Its set ten years after the events of the PS2 game, and people can still use Personas to battle, but that’s about the only similarities. It’s a shame, cuz I really enjoyed the game, but the anime has a totally different feel to it. I think it’s lost the aspect which made the game so popular.


Art wise I’ve entered an OC tournament on DeviantArt. For those of you who don’t know, an OC tournament is a comic battle where you draw a comic of your own original character fighting somebody else’s original character, and who ever draws the best comic proceeds to the next round of the tournament. This particular tournament is a Mecha Tournament, so I’ve entered a giant robot of my own design in to fight. The first round match ups were announced this morning. I'm up against a bi-sexual robot. Yup. It’s actually two different robots crammed together. ^^; its gonna be a fun opponent.
This is going to be a great opportunity, and lots of fun. Hopefully my art will benefit from being part of this tournament.


Well, that’s it from me today. I’ll leave you with a random photo from London:

I dunno how this thing works, whether you have to pay or not, but it’s a good system. If only the ele-cars weren’t so sucky.

This is just outside my shop in Covent Garden. It’s a parking space reserved for anyone with an electric car, and comes complete with power pole with which to plug your car in. there aren’t many of these around, and even the one outside our shop rarely has anyone parked there. I think it’s pretty cool!


Till next time!!!
