Whew. My brain.

It took me half an hour, but I've gone through my ENTIRE gallery. Chucked stuff into storage, organised shit into folders, AND IT'S ALL PRETTY.
I'll give you five minutes now to go and look and appreciate my hard work.

Time's up.

Everything's all organised, my Featured gallery only contains stuff I'd actually like to FEATURE (to see everything now you actually have to go look at my proper gallery), and I think it's a pretty damn good compromise between "screw it *deletes everything*" and leaving it alone. This way you can see where I've come from but it's not shown so publicly, making me look abasolutely awful. Because let's face it, a lot of my old stuff is TERRIBLE.

In other news, went on an interesting adventure with SydneySyders on Saturday, started at the Chinese Gardens, and wandered through Darling Harbour, through the city. Was good fun, DevMeet's are awesomecore, will have to pop up at more of them. Also met people as incredibly strange as me, which just adds to the fun, lol.
Out of the 450 photos I took that day, roughly, only 11 of them pass my approval and will be hiting dA (stay tuned, coming to a monitor near you).

Still, 11/450 isn't quite as bad as my old standards. And there's a few more that I actually like, they're just either repetition of the same subject, or too boring to warrant being put on here. So I guess it's an even higher ratio.

Also got to play with my 70's era OM series Zuicko 50mm prime. It's an absolutely amazing lens given it's age (although Olympus glass has always been the best), and the photos I've taken with it really do speak for themselves. I'll make sure I comment which ones are which so you can see what I'm talking about, though I don't think you'll notice it in my 1000px wide web versions. But here at work on the Eizo they look stunning.

In other news, I've also acquired for myself an Intuos4. Such an amazing piece of equipment. It totally eclipses the Intuos3 I've been using here at work, now I just have to teach myself to draw to utilize it to it's full potential. Though for retouching and colour correcting it's been an absolute dream, I honestly don't know how I survived at home without it. And the buttons and stuff are just plain awesome.

As far as writing is concerned, my past two journal entries ARE telling the truth, the document IS still open. I just don't know how to finish it. There's considerably more to the storyline than what's written and it plays out in my head, but once again finding the words that convey what I'm thinking in the same was as I'm thinking it is damn near impossible.

So yeah. I suppose I better stop wasting time on this journal and actually upload some photos to keep you little munchkins happy.

Had a blood test last Thursday, also. Thought I'd keep you all informed. Find out my results THIS Thursday... Talk about nerves. Fingers crossed everything is okay, otherwise, well, the shit will hit the fan, which will fall off the ceiling and explode. While stuff DOES look better exploding, we're going to hope that this doesn't happen.

UPDATE
I called my doc and convinced him to give me the results over the phone, and well.
Everything is FINE. Thank fuck.




One more thing, you must find the jade monkey before the next full moon.

Fuck.


My.


Life.



Seriously, can nothing go right?

Why does the shit always have to hit the fan, and do so so SPECTACULARLY.

Well, my life may be fucked up permanently. We'll see.
And maybe I was a little hasty in my previous announcement. Turns out I can't actually FEEL emotions, so it's fine. I don't fucking need them anyway.



Dear feeling, I miss you. I write you every day, please visit me again soon.







Writings soon. It's open in Word as we speak.
