What’s new pussycat..

December 11, 2007

woaaahhwoaahoohhwaooahh.

Yeah. Haven’t blogged in a while. Not much to say really.

New unit! Group project. Seems to be going off alright, nice enough group and we have a few solid ideas. The filming is going to be the tricky bit (along with all this php nonsense) but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it!

Work is wearing me out, I swear! What was I thinking when I said it would be fine to work 5 days a week. I guess I just saw pound signs? haha. I think I’m going to ask for less hours when these group shenanagans really kick off.

Christmasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. excited.

 the end.


wooop

So today I actually got up and went into uni on time (i know wow right!) and then when I got there I realised that we were actually just going to be continuing with our work. I hate working in a room full of people who obviously know what they’re doing whilst I’m clearly in a bit of trouble, so I headed over to my sisters house. She has an expert knowledge of Dreamweaver, so with her advice (and a bit of referencing to the Goldstone tutorial!) I spent the whole day patching together my website. And it actually looks pretty amazing. I’m really proud of it.

So all I have to do is  write my contexual analysis and stick everything on a disc and I’m done!

Feels quite good.

I just can’t miss any more uni or I’m going to get myself into a hole.


Next Wednesday..

Oh dear.


Under 2 weeks left

November 6, 2007

feeling slightly nervous? I dunno, 2 weeks seems ages away, but I’m working at Geek Station (lol thankyou alex) pretty much full time now and I don’t really have time for much else. Not about to give up my weekly Consortium thoughhhhh!

Today was good, because I actually started to develop my website, which is something I had only thought about briefly before.

The essay is still weighing down on me and I can see myself doing it the night before. Hopefully I wont get to that stage but it nearly always happens. I’m just the least organised person in the world.

Also, my Deftones obsession is spiralling a little bit and I’ve started scouting around tattoo parlours in the area. This has nothing to do with anything I just thought I’d drop it in there. I’ve been wanting to get a some white pony lyrics inked on me for a while now, and I have a pretty healthly bank balance thanks to my full time shifts. Why not! an early Christmas present. Ofcourse my mum would freak, but I want to get them on my right side just beneath my ribs. There’s no reason for her to see it! Mwahaha.


Surrealism

November 1, 2007

So I’ve finally decided to take this research seriously! Not that I haven’t been already, but the deadline is dawning and I’ve realised that I really need to get a move on with my ideas, they’re not flowing quick enough.

Tonight I’ve been browsing deviantart looking for inspiration. As a deviant myself I’m pretty good at the skimming the amount of rubbish on this website.

This rather conceptual image caught my attention, and as I read the artists description some ideas immediately began to spiral. “Some say that their cell phone, laptop, or MP3 player is attatched to their hip. Well what would happen if it became a part of them?” 

I’ve now began to look at the human form as part of nature, something that may sound obvious but I hadn’t really considered it before. I want to try and fuse things together. I’m not really sure how to explain this, but I’ll check back in a few days and note down where I’m at.

Now, in my social world! Last night was Halloween! Didn’t really have a costume, and after weighing up the options we decided to go for a diy outfit and spend our money on alcohol instead. So basically we wore black and made slashes on ourselves with red lipstick and blusher and whatever else we could get our hands on. Finished off with some black eyeshadow around the eyes, not bad considering it didn’t cost anything! Then we (well, me and Rosie really! haha) got really trashed on wine and lost our sense of balance completely. We had a look around, and it seemed the only place that wasn’t completely heaving was Consortium so we headed there and had a boogie. Was a really good night actually! This morning wasn’t so great (wine hangovers are the worst!) but todays been really easy and thats why I’m feeling so eager to get on with this project.

First day at work tomorrow! 8.45am eeeeeeeek. But still, should be a laugh. We’ll see.


and tonight

October 29, 2007

i feel like more

I’m so content right now I don’t know where to begin.

Sorted my finances out AT LAST so I’m definitely gonna have at least one good night this week (wednesday anyone? haha)

Also got a new job with the lovely folks at Game Station. No more slaving over old ladies cardigans and thermal pants. Plus think of the gorgeous discount I’ll get when Guitar Hero 3 finally makes its way to the shelves.

Uni is going alright, I feel like I might need a bit more structure but I’m sorting myself out bit by bit. I’m on my third image now, I don’t really want to rush it and make a mess and I’ve got a few solid ideas under my sleeve.

One day project tomorrow sounds like fun, and then off to Consortium later! Haha I’m so predictable.

But basically

 I could float here forever. 


I’M FAR TOO BUSY BEING DELICIOUS

October 27, 2007

I always get the best ideas when I’m really tired and about to go to sleep, so i’ve made a habit of keeping a pen and notebook next to my bed. I came up with something really strange last night… lets just say it involves kitchen appliances and willow trees. Not sure if I can really take that anywhere, but you know, if I get desperate. Which I envitabley will do.

In other news, the mean people at work haven’t sorted my wages yet. I desperately need to get my overdraft sorted so I can avoid staying in all the time listening to Foals and eating my own weight in flapjacks. It’s a vicious vicious cycle..but a tasty one.

Balloons anyone?


I LOVE LAMP

October 13, 2007

Hello, I have returned to my blog for the second time in order to try and make this a regular thing cos I actually reckon it will be inactive within weeks :)

Hmmmm what is new… oh my student loan came, providing me with yet another pair of shiny new shoes. What is it with girls and shoes? I have at least 20 pairs in my cupboard, some I’ve only worn about twice. I just can’t help myself, I really like pointy shoes…

 Last night was messy, which would explain why I’m sat here in my pyjamas at 8pm on a Saturday night, drinking tea (NO hobnobs left *sniff*)

Wray Nephews was a bad choice!

Yeah I’m not too good at this, I keep running off track.. ah yes the media project.

I have started, I’ve actually got quite a bit for my visual diary. I’ve been thinking about manmade things invading nature, like astronauts and what not. Well it’s just a general idea at the moment, but I’m getting new ones all the time :)

Well that’s enough for now! I’m so knackered I might go back to bed

P.s THE GAME :P


First blog w00t

October 8, 2007

As of yet I have nothing remotely interesting to write as my lectures today were general introductions to the course.

10am – the wonderful warbalings of richard berger, I can tell I am going to enjoy his future classes.

1pm – something about binary coding and rice?

3pm – shouldn’t have had that pint at lunch. i am trying to listen, honestly i am, but really my bladder holds my full attention.

and that summarises my day!
