2009, slacking off...   Date: September 3rd, 2009   Mood: recovering   Now playing:  Coyote (Memento Mori - Buck-Tick)    Just finished watching: G.I. Joe: rise of the Cobra (Byung-hun Lee baby!! *_*)   Current Obsession: Sakurai Atsushi of course!!  damn!   Looking forward to: thinking about my father without getting sad ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This year I've been really slacking off what this website is concerned.   I really had some great ideas; and I started many of them. But finishing them is another matter.   Work has been keeping me busy, as well as doing a lot of fun stuff (like going to amusement parks with my niece and nephew, photography, draining my bank account on laptops, DVDs and Wii consoles and drooling over iMacs).   I've hardly made any drawings, which is a bad thing because I very much need the practise, and the ones I did make I haven't really finished. Let's face it; the 2009 Gallery is a bloody joke!   Yes, I need to get my act together.   On the positive side though; I have lost 5 kgs in weight due to the Wii I recently got (I love that machine) ;) PLUS I got a great new haircut! I think it really looks nice even though it's a lot of work in the morning. Know Alice Cullen from that overrated piece of crap movie Twilight? Well, I got my hair cut just like that, to give you an idea ^_^ (so I also need to upload a new picture of myself here ;) )     So what's on the menu for the rest of the year after you've gotten your ass off the Wii and back in line you say?   Well....Buck-Tick will be releasing a new photobook this month (Memento Mori Tour), so you can expect a new page for that baby when it comes out. I have two sketches to upload, and we (Gabe and I) are really getting places with our Cipher project (Not that anyone gives a crap about that but hey...let's just pretend anyway).   Furthermore I made a start with a new page dedicated to my photography, where I will only upload the pictures I think are succesful (or at least not a complete waste of time to look at). I haven't made up my mind about the layout of the page yet, but I think I'll keep it relatively simple, with as little as blabla from my part (which can never be a bad thing) and just the basics of information (type of lens, shutter speed, aperture...things like that).   So that's about it I guess, apart from a last sincere apology for the lack of activity on this site. I promise I'll do better from now on...    *hangs head in shame*   In other news; in addition to my busy schedule and to emphasize my greedy nature; I also bought some new stuff recently. I've come to the conclusion that I'm a nerd for 'equipment', so to speak. I love gadgets! Basically..if it has led lights or any kind of plug..I want it!   So I bought some new gimmicks to satisfy the nerd in me who wants to own all the shiny new products released on the market these days.   My latest two acquisitions: a pretty silver Sony Vaio laptop (so I can watch Naruto online in the bedroom now too! ;D) and a PSP Slim and Lite 3000 Dissidia version! I've wanted a PSP for a while now, and this pretty version with the new Final Fantasy Dissidia was just the thing the doctor ordered. I wanted a PSP for one reason only actually. I wanted to play Crisis Core. So after years of resisting; I finally gave in to temptation.   But how about that Dissidia; what a gorgeous game! ^.^ I'm by no means a fighting gamer, so at this point I'm more or less getting my ass kicked on all levels, and winning my battles by frantically pressing every button in sight (I DO have a pressing strategy though, so I got that covered ;D), but that will change soon enough.   At the moment I'm having fun and severly enjoying the pretty graphics.   And with the purchase of the PSP, Dissidia and Crisis Core my interest in games has renewed, leaving me with a sudden craving of more games. Weird thing is; I hadn't touched my PS2 in months! but suddenly I felt the need to go game. Imagine that. And retro to! So I bought the Jak & Daxter trilogy for the PS2, SimCity4 and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 for the PC and Wii Sports Resort for my trusty Wii.   On top of that..I'm also eyeing the new Playstation 3 Slimline!   God, I'm hopeless.... Things I've learned this month: It doens't matter how rich you are or how big or expensive your car is; people will still see you picking your nose behind the wheel. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
