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

"wall plane" ubblol





Typical poi spinner wink






I figure if I talk like one, they might let me join their club biggrin Not a 'club' club, as in, not the sort which can also be spun like poi. Some club spinners don't spin clubs, but join clubs.. Not like joining a club the first way I meant it, but like Lego can be joined. They also join clubs sporadically, but they don't tend to be very forward about it. Some people don't think it sounds really cool to say 'I'm a proud member of the club twirling club'. Like, in contrast to 'You can twirl your clubs in my club. If you like. Matey. How long have you had those shoes?' smile

hmm!.. a toy wardrobe eeeehh?.. i like the way you're thinking! ubblol



hmm well they seem to have stretched a bit.. mm rainbow rolleyes

those squishy balls rock! incidentally i went to go to the shop i bought those from the otherday, only to find it's moved and is no longer in adelaide! eek and the other one by my place appears not to sell them anymore either! so.. take care of them! smile



tiger balm for you! definately! hug






mm! A walk-in toy wardrobe too ubblove With a food aisle too biggrin



What sort of store was it? Toys? You know how I love to keep up with sock technology ubbrollsmile If they're not in Adelaide, there's a chance they might have come round these parts, so I suppose that's a good thing.. On the downside, Lou Poi Industries must have taken a bit of a blow. Luckily they're diversifying into flags too.. bounce bounce2

wave hi Ry hug .:*:.sprinkle.:*:.








Heya stranger! What have you been up to? Been so so quiet as of late.. hug Hey would you happen to be free to help me in an assessment piece for uni? Making a short doco on fringe arts/performers- would love to get you telling the camera about what you pixies get up to! And was also of thinking of doing some filming at moonfest. What say you?



Written by: gita



ry - there's a lil pic of my new poi in my intro!! biggrin






More than slightly envious gita! Looking forward to getting shots of you spinning them! weavesmiley Moooonfest..



Written by: maus



hey mister! walk in toy wardrobe sounds like a fantabulous idea!!!

Alternatively...we could all club together and just build the house of poi...... ubblove



wall to wall playthings....mmmm.....*drool*.......



ooh ooh,and we could paint all the walls(THE ONES THAT DON'T HAVE TOYS HANGING FROM THEM-obviously), white and then cover them with peoples spinning photos....



bounce bounce2 bounce bounce2 bounce bounce2

possibly gettin a little excited!!



anyways,hows life in sunny oz!?

xx hug hug








That suddenly reminded me of that House of Fun song for some reason. The ones which don't have toys?? eek The horror!



Oz (Brisbane) isn't looking particularly sunny at the moment.. it's 9.43am, overcast and about 23 degrees c.. In other words, it's quite wonderful sleeping weather! Still wondering if I should go back to bed or be productive since I'm already up early. The arguments against, possibly include the fact I've only had about 3 hours and 45 minutes sleep. *ponder*



How's lovely Cornwall? hug

I just had a nice thick hot milo.. 4 heaped tablespoons and a spoon of sweetened condensed milk. And water of course. Could do with another mug, but there's probably something not good about taking in so much of something so yummy. I might do it anyway ubblol

Mmmm milo ubblove


We can't get it in this country y'know.... One of te pooka mentioned they have it in Edinburgh. But that's at the whole other end of the country (and up into the next country quite a lot too) and i haven't had my anti-scots jabs yet, so i don't fancy my chances of going up there.


Luckily I have 2 milo bars stashed upstairs for emergencies. Just wish I had some milo drink..... that's the stuff i really miss.

Kept me alive in SE asia...


ps: I also miss Moon Pixie and Becca heaps and heaps. I'm hoping they start selling them in the shops over here. I will definitely buy some if they do.....

Meh

Milo drink's really nice. The sweet girl who saved me from a life of dullness by inspiring me to pick up poi, though, has delusions that cadbury hilights are better ubblol Well, they're good too, but they're not a good cup of milo. What's your address, Mr Cantus? biggrin No reason wink

Pixie: 'The Elke' dolls!! Those'd probably be a hit if you made them you know..

re: pre moonfest pixie palace interview, you could probably give the interview while you're making the choccie yummies.. Day in the life of.. or not smile What time can I mosey over?
