So here I am again. It's been a while hasn't it. My alto sax initially got a lot of use. Funny isn't it, how a fulltime job takes away all your spare time. Haven't had any time to poi too, apart from Jugglejam on Mondays and the monthly Moonfests. And even then, it somehow seems I tend to play with the stockwhip instead of poi shrug



Another lens has been added to the stable too. A Canon EF-S 10-22 3.5-4.5.. nice and wiide. But it all boils back down to that time issue. Despite having the new lens, I seem to find I'm out taking less pictures.. the folio hasn't been updated in a while, and I'm starting to get the horrible feeling I'm stagnating. Must. Get out of this rut.



If you're my muse and reading this, inspiration needed now. hug



-Edited 14 Dec 2005-



I liken this to opening the fridge to find that jar of misc what's it, several months expired ubblol. Hey how's it going? wave



So what's new! Well.. poi's getting a bit better for one thing. Nice how after poi-ing for a while, you stop hitting yourself senseless. In fact, one might argue how after a certain point, each hit puts more sense into you.. wink Haven't gone skating or rockclimbing in a bit, but that's ok- life's full of wonderful distractions, and really, you can only do a couple at a time.



University's just wrapped up! Yep. A degree in art & visual culture, television & digital media.. Just waiting for a piece of paper at the moment (yay!). And trying to sort out how Australia will let me live here forever and ever biggrin. Have I mentioned how wonderful it is, you so ought to visit *nudge* wink Also been getting out the with photography and stuff- a couple of projects to follow up on, blue skies and puffy clouds as far as I can see.



Updates updates. [insert geek] I've updated my camera gear too.. my 20D, 17-85 4-5.6 IS and 580EX now have a 70-200 2.8L IS to play with.. soon too, riding on getting a particular gig, either a 350D and a 24-105 f4 IS, or another 20D.. -grin- [/end geek]



[edit 14/12/05: Gig didn't go through, and ended up performing at it instead of shooting it ubblol Life has a funny way of messing you about doesn't it.. so no 2nd body for me just yet, or nice 24-105 f4 IS redface]



Been taking lots of photos lately. I think there's something intrinsically beautiful in capturing moments- you know how you look at a photo and it brings you back to where you were that day, who you were with, how the air smelt even.. Maybe one day I'll get to exhibit ubblove.. but yeah.. lots of work to be done meantime.



Hmmmm.. yes the world's beautiful today. It's good to have new toys, new moves, new direction.. old friends hug.. a best friend hug2, and enough distractions not to get bored for too long.



Btw.. favourite words haven't changed.. ubbrollsmile And mm.. I'm still not too close to balletic, and dulcet..



Hmm.. la la la laaa squawk.. footinmouth



[edit 14/12/05: I now have a beautiful alto saxophone- the best use of which I have thus far found, is to attract ducks and other misc waterfowl]



Yep, how about we say still aspiring. biggrin



Hope all's well with everyone- don't be strangers now! hug biggrin

I've been exploring this site a bit lately, and have decided everyone seems like a nice bunch- thought it's about time I said hello. Ryan, 24, born in Singapore, but Brisbane Australia has been home to me for the past 3 years.



I love photography, playing the guitar (if one took a picture of me with my guitar, it looks like I'm playing it- does that count?), getting from point A to B on my trusty mountain bike, inline skating and hockey, occasionally rockclimbing, and just being in good company. I'd also like to add poiing to the list when I stop hitting myself senseless.



Irrelevantly, my two favourite words (I've got heaps if anyone's interested) are 'balletic' and 'dulcet'. 'Balletic', unfortunately, isn't a word I'd use to describe anything I can do, and 'dulcet' is a word I haven't dreamt of aspiring towards yet.



Enough for now, don't be strangers! biggrin

Hehe Tasha's already taken over the world, sorry. Humans are now under the misconception that they have free will, that's how advanced her technology is.

Changing the topic, what does everyone think of freaky coincidences?



A couple of days ago we had the property manager in with an electrician to look at the wiring in the bathroom. See- the ventilation automatically comes in when the lights are switched on (2x60w- tried to find warm fluorescents but still looking for ones small enough..).



Anyway. The problem is that the sodding neighbours upstairs smoke like chimneys, and the two bathrooms share the same duct. If our ventilation (and lights) aren't on, then their smoke actually comes in to our bathroom.



The electrician was here to figure out how to split the wiring so much so they've got independent switches. As a temporary solution, he suggested taking out one of the lightbulbs to save power while we left the ventilation on. Not much of a solution, we left it at that for the time being. The next morning, I turn on the bathroom lights, and only one comes on. I think, hey, Nick's (housemate) pretty efficient (may I add it takes removing 6 screws in very awkward positions to remove the fixture before anyone can get to the bulb).



Soon we decide it's not enough light in the bathroom, and come to the conclusion that the bulb should be replaced. 3 days pass and nothing's happened, so I ask Nick where's the bulb he took out. He tells me I was the one who took it out.. confused



We realise that the bulb blew. After several months of living here, the day after we talk about removing it, and the specific bulb too!



I think he overheard our intentions and died of a broken heart..

You know, I think if it weren't for that little cake icon, noone'd ever know anyone ever had a birthday..

Thanks all for the bouncy sparkly birthday wishes- no pressure to go out and realise it all ubblol

Kris: Hey! We know the same people! ubblol Except the lady a millimeter left, and two millimeters up from the bottom left of the top right quadrant with the red and white jackie o sunnies- one of yours? With only so much cake to go around- just got to make sure none of those 100,000 people are gatecrashers.. smile

As for today.. well. Haven't planned anything really. I've never been one for occasions, even if I've just turned a quarter of a century old. I'm probably going to kick back (getting used to it these couple of days) and sweep up the remains of a lousy yesterday. Might go and have some grocery therapy too. I'll know after a hot shower.

Catch up with everyone soon, and
