-Updated 31 Aug 2005-



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

Lou: You did! ubbangel I think you may be psychic wink Thanks for everything miss! :dobee grin: Sent a couple of sleep faeries your way, and one of them's got a specific task to stop in Coobar and get the sunshine out of there and move him South a bit. sunny

Pete: Thanks sir! beerchug

Jean: mmhmm! And I've got a couple of limbs, digits and wings free if you need them crossed for anything. Balance is exactly it. So precarious.. but when you find it, you know it's something to put an effort into maintaining smile hug

Gita: Thanks housemate! Yes. Is good news indeed. Can afford to pay rent ubblol And in time, maybe get a rug. ubblol

Mandy: *glomps back missy* hug glomps. ubblol

Sui: Cheers sir. biggrin Upgraded sleepy faeries! *ponders whether to upgrade the lot or to triple their numbers..*

Erin: Sure! They're pretty used to travel by now I'd expect. They do Brissie-Adelaide quite often, I'm sure they'd appreciate a Melbourne stopover- it's on the way too smile Good to hear the sleep's faeries are doing their thing. Send them on their way when you're done biggrin..

Rhys: Not sure yet.. haven't done either job ubblol Though. I think I'll miss out on the Chim Chiminey Chim Chim look having seen the job outline.. shrug

Pat: Ta muchly! Hey speaking of Lego.. have you been to the Queensland Art Gallery recently? Lego in abundance down the escalator, to the far end of the indoor pond!! bounce bounce2

Andrea: Yay indeedy. Any reason to yay is a good reason biggrin. Can't wait for Monday and to go to work.. is that normal? ubblol

Sam: Cheers dude! hug

Kels: So what does a best fry up ever include? I'm having a pretty good stirfry right now, but think they're unlikely to be the same.. beef and cabbage.. yum.. I don't think I tend to buy enough cabbage..

Jean: Thank you muchly miss! hug Have just started the new job- it's great! A bit daunting, you know, day one and all.. But I think I'll like it. All is good. ubbangel
