-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: Speaking of weather.. your toes wrote to me on your behalf.. all good for me to post a few degrees of warmth down your way? wink Yup.. still up.. will be gone right after this though. Was shutting down and suddenly got distracted.. ubbangel hug2

Kels: It's okay.. I know you're all busy like these days.. redface *returns brush and several tubes of bodypaint to shelf*

hey Ry! Your photos are most excellent, I have attempted your upside down hopper challenge, but fear I may be well off the mark...

Because ActiveAngel sounds like a feminine deodorant

Guy: Heya! Thanks lots biggrin Glad you like them. The upside down hopper thing was a good guess, but as soon as I put the challenge up, I realised it may have been a bit hard to get. I initially thought it was Josh (falloutboy) then I suddenly saw him in the pic.. to my horror. ubblol It's actually J-J (Jess, from Western Australia). She doesn't seem to post much on hop, so thought it could have been a bit of an unfair ask.
[Old link]
biggrin But that was a good guess though!

Lynne: Actually.. that reminds me of something.. once heard an mp3 of some choral singers singing an actual weather report.. It was bizarre! Can't remember where I got it from, but haven't got it anymore unfortunately.. ubblol

Isn't intermittent such a nice word! Actually.. so is sprinkled.. and drizzle.. And hey don't forget to keep some sunshine for yourself! cool hug

She hasn't been in to welcome me to HoP frown

All she did was come into my intro and ask if i had a problem with her referring to Linden as a man.....which, having met him, I obviously do wink

Meh

Lou: Impatient eh? rolleyes I suppose it wouldn't be too long if you had reasonable company, toys and a couple of fruitboxes.. wink Then when you realise you've missed the bus, you'd probably hop into your parked car not too far away and drive wherever it is you're off to ubblol

Kels: I'm sure you've been the greatest host, miss mouse! hug Only hoping to experience some of the hospitality first hand sometime? hug Open mic night? *wonders if you got up to perform..* ubbangel

What have I been up to? hmmm.. Quite a bit lately. Did my first gig recently and it was pretty interesting. harrowing but interesting. Then substituted in for Kyle at another gig while he was off enjoying earthcore. So mm, it's good putting some money in the bank for a change. Other than that I've started trying to figure out alto saxophone (as if figuring out guitar wasn't enough of a handful already.. )- Lou's taken me on as a padwan ubblol wink. Progress- well, I can make a clear and well-defined honk, and occasionally a very distinct squeak. It'll be a lot of work to get me daring to take the instrument out where anyone can hear me..

In addition to that.. lots of administrative stuff to handle these days. Mostly immigration related. Bit of a headache really. But other than that, peachy! How's you miss?

Cantus: Aww.. play nice won't ya? Linda's probably as manly as they come.. not that I've met him yet.. but you know. Not sure about the him being happy to be called Linda thing though ubblol

Sam: hug Just being silly and having a go at ya buddy. Whatcha up to these days?

April: Why thank you miss! hug Was kind of keeping quiet just wondering how many pages down I'd sink ubblol Busted eh?

Chris: Hiya! I'm so glad people are actually looking at those pictures! ubblol Been feeling a bit guilty about not having put any new pics up for a while now. Thanks muchly. And thanks again for watching the vid (though it was a really messy spin I know, left out a couple of tricks, and the tricks I left in there I didn't execute really well- except maybe one flower I didnt mind, and some weird thing I was doing with a turn, which seemed to go in slow motion..) There are so many wonderful spinners around (yourself included wink) that it's a bit stressful wanting to catch up really.. Nice seeing ya in here, will catch up soon eh? hug biggrin

Well.. hugs are most wonderful things. Doubt it could possibly be anything to do with lil ol' me though. I'd say it's more likely down to a string of curious coincidences ubbangel

But just in case, *sends out a one-off hugging vibe* biggrin

hug hug hug

Or is that a three-off? confused mmmm... wink
