(Untitled)
Last night I dreamt that I was back in high school doing an exam. Everyone had finished before me and I couldn't solve something that was supposed to be fairly simple. Felt so stupid. I wonder if a part of my brain is rotting now that I'm not doing academic stuff any more. -
Audiobooks and Algeria
Watching this production video for HBO's adaptation of George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones has made me start listening to the audiobook again. I can't wait for this to come out! HBO tends to do pretty good TV shows I believe.
I do think that reading the written text is better than listening to the audio while working though. As you tend to zone ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on religion
Sweden being one of the most atheist countries in the world made me grow up thinking that a personal stance on religion really isn't that important. It's only after coming to the UK that I find myself in situations where I need to ask these difficult questions as a way to relate to others ( Read more... ) -
New tablet
Here's my second hand Intuos3 A3 tablet which I picked up in London on Sunday when I went in for Faye's hen night. Got it for about a quarter of the price of a new Intuos XL so I'm very happy. So far it's been great, it feels much better to sketch on the computer with a bigger active area.
It does takes up a lot of space but I just do stuff on top ( Read more... ) -
Off to Gotland!
As I posted ages ago, I'm off to the University of Gotland for a few weeks to do a course in life drawing. My flight is tomorrow. My room is all empty and I'm feeling somewhat excited/nervous at the thought of what this summer will bring. In no way would I expect a 10-week life drawing course to be some kind of miracle medicine and revolutionise ( Read more... ) -
Expo aftermath
So that's an end to another expo! As usual, it was pretty awesome. First of all big thanks to Emma and Pud for their hard work. The comic village was the most organised and impressive yet. Hopefully it will be a returning popular feature!
I was sharing a table with Susan and Steve from Studio Two Sides Wide on the Saturday. Susan had literally just ( Read more... ) -
Voyeristic experiment
For every day in a week starting today I'll do a streaming experiment on Ustram.tv. There are numerous reasons why I'd like to do this, but mainly because I spend days on end working in the isolation of my room. So much so that some people might wonder if I'm still alive. It's not the best way to keep in touch with people but it sure is effortless ( Read more... ) -
Ebay seller's note
There was a most bizarre, yet strangely sweet note arriving with my package from an ebay seller today.

Dog in the house
My family just got a puppy. I'm so jealous of my sister! She gets a bunny, a DS and a puppy after I move out. I desperately wanted a kitten as a kid, and I wanted a Nintendo back in the days. Now I can blame my parents for being emotionally detached and never being able to become a decent gamer. LOL
Seriously, jokes aside, we do have a puppy now. ( Read more... )
