Recently decided it was finally time to invest on a tablet. Popped into a few of the local electronics and gadgetry stores – and almost wanted to cry. I knew there was a reason I had been putting off this purchase. Luckily for me, it seemed to be the time of the year where clearance […]
Trying to keep up the whole drawing thing. It’s not easy, and I don’t know how long I can sustain this. But I’ll keep em coming while I can. And what better model to use than my lovely not-so-little muse? :p Though I was tempted to stop there, I kept going for a little […]
Shinsekai yori. Holy shit. What an anime, and what an ending. It’s been a while since I’ve watched anything that wrapped all the loose ends so nicely. With what’s going on with Syria at the moment, I can’t help but think to myself how appropriate it was to (in some degree) have watched Shinsekai yori. […]
I’ve finally got around to watching this anime … still haven’t finished it yet. I’ve heard sooo many good things about it, but it’s also an anime that’s so hard to keep watching. The visual style is terribly deceptive. It’s too cutesy for me. And the characters too young an age group for my liking. […]
The last assignment has been marked, checked, handed back. You get a letter congratulating you for having passed and being eligible to graduate. You rent the gown, go to the ceremony, and you officially get your degree. Yes, you’ve finally graduated. But what now? I have my massive loan, an expensive piece of paper – […]
It’s a sunny autumn day. Most people are out and about enjoying the glorious sunshine (hindered slightly by the nippy Wellington breeze but hey, we’re used to it by now). I was allowed to finish work early, signing out at 1 in the afternoon, doing only a wee 6 hour shift. I probably could’ve gone […]
Wasn’t the happiest of chappies out there last night (for reasons I care not to share – but it’s pretty lame really😅). Went to bed, had a bit of a silent cry and cuddled my big as dragon as I moped away into sleepyland. When I woke up this morning, I didn’t quite bounce back […]
It’s been almost 2 months since I’ve changed jobs, but I really must write a post about this fantabulous going away present I got from my old work mates. Yes. It’s a tiger poncho. And yes. It was probably designed for kids. But I think it shows just how much my workmates know me […]
I am very well aware that the Christmas season has ‘been here’ and ‘done that’. But when it comes presents and things as awesome as my new best friend (whom I named BP for reasons only a few will ever be privy to), it sure is more than acceptable to be fashionably late. Better late […]
The Om day. And I don’t mean that as an Om nom nom let’s go eat sort of Om, but an Ommmmmmm sort of Om. Day 6 of The Power of Stillness: learn meditation in 30 days by Tobin Blake talks about mantras and using that as a focus word to help you well … focus. And […]
