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
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.

I liken this to opening the fridge to find that jar of misc what's it, several months expired
. Hey how's it going? 
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..
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
. Have I mentioned how wonderful it is, you so ought to visit *nudge* 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 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 
]
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
.. 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.. a best friend 
, and enough distractions not to get bored for too long.
Btw.. favourite words haven't changed..
And mm.. I'm still not too close to balletic, and dulcet..
Hmm.. la la la laaa squawk..
[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.
Hope all's well with everyone- don't be strangers now!

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!

I can't come down to Oz... unless I do it over land and sea. Planes freak me out. Being locked inside a small metal tube is not fun for a claustrophobic chocoholic pirate faery. I get the urge to run up and down the aisle screaming 'we're doomed, we're all doomed' and then I have a panic attack and faint because of hyperventilation. When I wake up I start from the running screaming bit and do it all again. Think of the other passengers being trapped for hours with me... poor buggers. I couldn't do that to them

well, I caught one of the evil f-ckers this morning...
(deer)
I thought long and hard about killing it, and was very very tempted, but its baby ( bambi like, all cute and small and spotted) was on the other side of the fence,gazing at me with big moist brown eyes, obviously alarmed that momma was trapped.
So I just satisfied myself by screaming at the deer a bit, then once I calmed down, and she stopped throwing herself against the fence, we had a nice discussion about the need for respecting boundaries. She listenned, but somehow did not seem convinced...
Then I let her go.
Wasn't that nice of me? Or just stupid?
But how can you kill things? I just could not do it, and attempting doing it in anger seemed even worse.If I needed the food it might be different, but though I love my garden, I can afford to buy food, I wont starve without it.
Sigh.

I managed to do the flight from Cork to London after the EJC but I was a wreck and it really wiped me out. I kind of internalised the panic and turned it into twitched and muscle ticks. By the time we got back to the boat all I was fit for was sleeping.

Pete: How'd you go? Does it work does it work?
Lynne: Airplanes are soo much fun though! Take off! And the hot towels and playing cards on international flights.. not to mention the free booze.. And airline food makes me like-->
The long international flights tend to be so much more fun than the short public transport types..
Mand: Hey.. work your own clientbase!
Andrea: Apparently the babies are tastier!
And hey, where's your painted deer anyway? It's been how long now? Can't be a patron if the artist is slacking off you know..

haha so much for the witty reply rye. meh i've not been spinning for about 2 weeks now i'm getting bored as i only do it on my own. though this hot chick was spinning and all i could think to do was show her up and walk off instead of getting her number and teaching her. meh i can be stupid some times. doesn't really matter. anyhoww ttyl i think i'm going to spin for a little while. hard to learn new tricks when i don't know any new ones to try to imitate.

Lou: So is it all over now? Are you on hols and making badges yet?
Mand: Sneaky sneaky. But it's ok. I send my counter-espionage personnel to sabotage miscellaneous flights.. 
Pip: It is.. I think I'm on HoP Lite at the moment.. Averaging a post a week
Very bad.. will storm this popsicle stand soon though *schemes*
Kris: To Elke? How come? How'd the gig go? Smooch any bandies?
Pete: Then next, in an underwater tank! Filled with really hungry goldfish! Got pics? I'm sure it was pretty spectacular.. 
----
In other news.
.
For those who remember the purple floral reversible tie/wrap pants I made, brace yourselves. Was poiing happily at moonfest when one of the poi brushed them. Lower leg and inside caught fire, and better still, it's a fantastic way to discover it's synthetic material.
Ruined.
Back to the drawing board.
In other other news.. gita's moved out and Puk's moving in! And his cat! Note to self, figure out the cat's sleeping arrangements. And cross fingers it doesn't destroy the upholstery or pee in my bed.. which it so will.
How's everyone doing?

um tricks new ones. i've made 2 of my own ones up now. the continual twirl around. you spin your whole body on one foot and spin round and round and round and do the same with the poi. pretty cool.
the other probably done befour which is throwing the poi.
i also want to try the poi between the legs which i've seen befour and i can't do antiwarps for [censored].

Well, maybe I just need to start saving money to that I can come to Australia. Then I wouldn't need to sabotage your visitors!
Nooooooo!!!!!
So you pay lots of attention to the rule about not spinning in synthetics? I'd like to get to see you before you have your clothing melted to you!
My silver starry pants (that you still haven't seen!) have to go back to the drawing board too.
The material is pretty thin, a bit stretchy, and really doesn't like being sewn together. At a pre-burning man party, I was trying to avoid someone. I took a quick dash up the stairs (taking them 2 at a time) to the bathroom... and split an inch of the crotch of my pants.
I tried to repair them before going to bm, and thought I'd done a pretty good job of it, but bike riding on the playa proved me wrong.
So I've decided to cut off and keep the side panels, because they're totally fine, and that's what all my hours of detailing went into. The rest of the pants are just plain silver, so I'm going to cut them out of new material. This time I'm going to line them with black linen, so that the seams (hopefully) won't split again.

Very sad about the pants Ry,
but also concerned about you going up in a puff of chemical smoke! Or melted into a puddle of polyester... Careful, 'kay! big hug for you...
Me, well I was out on a small island for a mucho debauched weekend with a bunch of crazy people.
A wild german mans birthday celebration--huge, people came from three islands over and germany too! I even had hamburgers made for me from someone from Hamburg( though I did not actually eat them due to the fact I do not eat beef, oops.But he did not know...)Somehow that greatly amused me. ???
Massive amount of drugs, polyester and big hair( theme party), mad sexualized dancing on the beachfront , three days of dj's and poi insanity, swimming, feasting, hilarity of all sorts...
Man update: CB out,OUT! I did not like the side of him I saw at the party... and he does not look all that hot in an afro, so there.Finito. Done.
And perhaps a new man in... Had a lot of fun together on the weekend, unexpectedly. Started with a general amused scorpoi sort of comraderie, progessed to sleeping tied together with a poi chain( to stop me from falling tino the ocean sleepwalking) I was a tent whore, shared his mini tent, which was pretty funny . Not that we actually ever stayed in it very long, too much happenning to sleep.
Riotous playmate! We shall see...
Whew. I soooo need recovery time. Instead I came back and promptly hosted a Russian dinner party, match-made a few friends( who took off into the romantic sunset on a motorbike this afternoon) , worked like a demon, and am preparing for a drum dance workshop I am helping with this weekend. Yikes. Busy.
Sending happiness out to all of you,
Yo, just say no to drugs, remember that raisins are a gateway fruit, and even more importantly: when Life hands you lemons.... CLONE THEM! And make SUPER LEMONS!!!!

Adam: What on earth is an antiwarp?? It better be a typo because if not I'm really behind
Waitaminute. Even if it were an antiwrap, I still have no idea what the heck it is..
Mand: Well.. I didn't even know it was synthetic! I thought it was some very nice cottonyish mix material.. in any case, it may as well have been a plastic bag, given how fast it went up. I'll show pictures soon. Heartbroken..
Now back to the point. Who were you avoiding?? *mmmm goss*
Silver pants eh? Pics?
Andrea: I'm actually just glad I didn't have to put my poi both down, cos that would have looked really embarassing.. I held them, flaming, in one hand, while I beat the crap out of my right leg
"A while German man's birthday celebration" Somehow that gives me the mental image of someone going ooga ooga
A new man eh? Well.. got to keep the viewers happy. New man per episode. What happened to shaman dj man btw?
A Russian dinner party?? ooooh.. conjures up mental cinescapes of Romanov indulgence! Complete with evil one-testicled monk too
Now, what's a gateway fruit
Super lemons Do you remember those super lemon sweets? They ridiculously sour (reallllly sour) but if you manage to survive the first 3 minutes, they mellow out into wonderful sweetness. Haven't seen them in 16 years though.
Oh hey. Polyester. Did you know that Glad ovenbags are some ratio polyester?
No haven't seen Clone High.. what's that?
Lou: These ones:

They're now gone.. if you saw them, it'd break your heart.
Saw something on the telly yesterday.. It was a show about grime.. apparently somewhere in New York there was a house where the owners died or left and they had lots of cats, and they made the most putrid mess you'd ever seen! They were interviewing people from across the road, and they all could smell it.. when they got inside it was just ugh..
But ironically, the offending cats, which had been left to fend for themselves, looked wonderfully clean and preened and all that. Except for the dead one.. which was covered in maggots.. Damn flies.
CG. Yeah. It's bad news but what can you do. I don't want to keep going on about what I think about why the main event's on a Sunday night.. day before a working day and all. *mutter*
No Adelaide for this kitten. I suppose at least there's a Kyle there to carry Brisbane..
Jean: If you're paying attention- it's all up to you now..
Kris: Was wondering about that permission to do fire in the Tivoli thing.. it looked like a really flammable venue from what I last recall Oh well.. Free show?
I guess you can drop the gear off if you're in the city sometime? Was actually thinking it'd be nice to have them in case I was taking part in the threeworlds comp on Sunday. When are you around?

In other news.
Got a text from one of my best friends in the UK this morning. Learnt his dad passed away- he had to fly back to Singapore for the funeral, which was held on my friend's birthday. I got along really well with his dad. Bit shaken.

hug to you, condolences to your friend...
Clone High is a cartoon,from MTV I think.
A format I usually hate, but was recently inadvertently exposed to with their Rock Opera " Anti" drug episode, which is the funniest thing I have ever seen! Famous people are all cloned, and in their teens...Larry Black plays " The Pusher" And somehow all the clones get smoking raisins, and Gahndi goes through a trip in his subconscious where he meets an australia dragon who makes him a vegemite sanny, and Abe Lincoln turns into Captain Lavender... Oh, find it and see it, soooo funny. After that weekend, especially...
Shaman Dj man is still close to my heart, but not in real time world! Far Away...He is in San Fran playing Earth Dance this week, and who knows where after... But we write once in a while, he sends kisses, and there was even a brief moment where he admitted to trying to figure out how to move here to my little island paradise!
But because it actually matters to me, I try not to hope too much, think too much or dream even...What happens with him is not up to me, and I have to be patient.
Not so good at that!
At the request of pals, going to start posting the Salt Spring Animal chronicles on my Tribe blog. They are silly funny true adventures with whales, parrots, cougars chickens and eagles, even the odd cat-- check it out if ya have a chance!
I want some of your pants.
OOps... Maybe that came out wrong?

Jean: Stroll!! Running with camera gear's very expensive should your right middle toe catch on your left heel.. But mm.. 30D.. interested? Could see whether I can negotiate the price a bit more. Still waiting for a potential 26th Sep Canon announcement.. mmm
And when are you coming to Brissie! 
Lou: They're so purple. And you saw them when you were here!!! Must have some brown stuff in your eye 
Sorry to hear about the phone.. I tried calling, but it was too late.. it was off. Phone shopping time.
Pete: Yeah.. those pants are now no more.. Would have to start from scratch again, because practically half of the pants are now completely obliteperforated
Andrea: Well. You're not having them missy. Not til I get a sweatshop operation going on in China. I really want to start one.. does anyone know how I go about it?
Yeah.. my friend's not doing too well at the moment, as can be expected. Feel so sorry I can't be there with him at the moment. But you know..
------
In other news. Ry's got new photo gear. Slik PRO 814CF II carbon fibre tripod legs.
But as this happens, more stuff gets added to the wishlist.. I want a Lowepro Dryzone Rover.. probably the grey/black one.. and a 120gb Jobo GigaVu. And another camera body.
Santa?
Anybody?

Mmmm... not sure on exact time line for the trip, but it will happen, sooner rather than later too
Not sure I can wait til the 26th tho... am really hanging for the feel of a camera in my hands again... *potentially could be obsessed with cameras, looks for someone to blame for this obsession...*
Oh, I want a Lowepro too... but I want the yellow one! We could be twins

whoops rye i meant wraps. but i'm going to invent warps. A anitwarp is when you throw your poi into the air going opposite directions off a butterfly. and [censored] i can't do flowers i only just discovered them when looking up free lessons they must be relatively new as i looked up the moves thing like 2 months ago.
