-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

Eek! I slack off for a bit and you guys have a party without me? tongue



Sorry all, been neglecting HoP for a couple of days, have had a hectic weekend. Somehow even managed to miss class this afternoon (I was so looking forward to going even!) because I thought it was on at 5 instead of 2..



Kris: made your key lime pie yet? Just need something yummy in your tummy to make any misc bug bugger off.. I made yet another banana cake this morning (wanted to do it yesterday after jugglejam, but it was a bit late..) and I think it came out alright. I seriously need to learn a new recipe..



myco: yup, totally.. I usually keep on top of things but somehow have been overwhelmed lately. Like you know those funfair machines where they give you a large mallet and you're supposed to knock gophers back down, and you're about to set a new record... biggrin That having been said, the gophers look to be well under control now. Except thinking of a famous character e.g. Tinkerbell to go as for a costume birthday party this weekend. Really dry on new ideas now..



Puk: As if! I'm trying so hard to keep up with everyone else :P There are so many moves I want to learn at the moment I feel spread rather thinly (and going nowhere..). Nevermind.. patienccce. Thanks for letting me play with your flags too! Heaps fun.. I want to make myself a pair sometime.. BIG ones.. biggrin



rikstik: Hiya buddy! Thanks muchly for cake and icecream- won't last very long in here. It seems we're a voracious bunch wink How are those little magic ninjas doing? And how's good ol Surrey (would you happen to be involved with the Guildford folk?

Twas at moonfest with his red and white stripy socks smile

What I meant to say was sort of like how the tedious figuring it out bit makes you anticipate this woopdydooper loopdylooper alleyooper move, then when you get it, it seems so anticlimactic!

Spinning's going good.. progressing a bit slow at the moment, but it's not too bad..

Yay you guys are coming down for Mondays! Word in advance, and I mean this very very seriously- you will want to bring bread to make use of the toaster. ubbtickled

Doh! I forgot I had a photo link in my profile. Thought for some bizarre reason you accidentally replied to someone else's thread in the wrong window! Don't mind me, I'm a bit of a nut. wink

Any of me? eek Gasp! No, the photographer's behind the lens :cool
