NaBloPoMo Post #11: 11th November 2008When I first moved up here, I didn’t have the internet. It was a terrible wrench for me - they talk about those rehab centres in China for people with MMO gaming addictions, and to be honest I can kind of understand why now, having gone through a three month period of being reliant upon dodgy wi-fi at the pub ( Read more... )

NaBloPoMo Post #10: 10th November 2008Yesterday I went to watch an orchestra playing Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Their timing was a bit off, but nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed the performance because I've never heard the symphony in full before, only bits of it. The Strauss Horn Concerto, on the other hand... phoo boy, were there some notes that ( Read more... )

NaBloPoMo Post #9: 9th November 2008I wasn't gonna bother writing about Obama and the recent elections because politics is one area I have relatively few opinions on. However, on the radio this morning they mentioned that William Hill, a popular bookies over here, has received numerous requests from some strange and bizarre people who wanted to bet ( Read more... )

NaBloPoMo Post #8: 8th November 2008

Well, as the Ayacon website and forum are now up and running I am very excited so I thought I would talk about the con today.

I've never been to an Ayacon before but I have heard a lot about it from people like ninja15, silvey and others. Apparently it's run by a committee who have had a lot of experience in running events ( Read more... )

NaBloPoMo Post #7: 7th November 2008Whew, am I tired. I had a pretty challenging day at work so I thought I would talk a little bit about my job. Though those of you on my f-list have heard it all before XD I wonder how many people are actually coming here from the NaBloPoMo website? Probably not many, if any at all. Oh well ( Read more... )

[NaBloPoMo Post #6: 6th November 2008]Well, I mentioned in a post some time ago that I may be going to Japan this summer. Ian and Ho-man (both friends from Uni, and I used to go out with Ho-man, for those of you who have no idea who I'm talking about XD) are going so I thought I would tag along. Buuuuuut. I was really excited about it at the time ( Read more... )

[NaBloPoMo Post 5: 5th November 2008]Well guys, this is going to be a short post today because I'm tired and headachey. These extra rehearsals are really taking it out of me D ( Read more... )

Cosplay Part One: Why I enjoy cosplay and costumes I’ve made

At last, a post on cosplay! This is probably my most recent hobby - I got into it back in my first year of university thanks to the cosplay workshops run by my Uni’s anime society. If you’ve never heard of it you can read about it hereI really ( Read more... )

[NaBloPoMo Post #3: 3rd November 2008]Today’s entry is going to be on photography! Why? Because I got myself an absolute bargain yesterday and I wanted to share my bargain-hunter’s glee with you all XD I forgot to mention this in my introduction post - photography is another one of my interests. I wouldn’t say I was an enthusiast, but I do love ( Read more... )

[NaNoBloPoMo Post #2: 2nd November 2008]Well, today I was going to write about cosplay, but some things happened today that I want to write about instead ( Read more... )
