I figure this is my last post of the year!!

So everyone enjoy the season, buy each other lots of Castlevania and try not to be too much of a groupie!


As for me, I'm going to try and stay constant with my posting of fanart on my dear ole DA account. If you want to see more of my work, it's my New Year's resolution to keep my recently moved sketchblog up to date with day-to-day sketches, scratches and musings. If any of you guys are on LJ or any other blog service give me a buzz. :>

PS ARG I HAVE A COLDSORE ;___; if you see me down the streets of Melbourne Town I'll be the weirdly dressed white gal with a GREAT BIG RED SORE ON HER LIP THAT"S RIGHT *sulk*

CASTLEVANIA or HETALIA??

University's over :> work has started. I'm volunteering at a photography gallery, and saving up to do a hospitality course. Tossing up between getting barista or bar training. Seems like bar would be better for fitting into the uni term, but...

A-a-anyway. I've been into Solia for the last few days (like Gaia, only... small. ) and I'm thinking of setting up an art shop there...

I'm also participating in National Novel Writing Month (I'm WAY behind~~~) so that'll also keep me busy but, I do plan to get the tablet out and draw a few things!

If you have preference for which it is (Castlevania or Hetalia) give me a bell.

Awesome Games Played Recently:
- Professor Layton (the first), so cute!
- Pokemon Silver (getting back into it because heart & soul are coming out / ARE out. YEAH MORTY!!! X3)
- Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (up to bad ending)
- Castlevania PoR (also up to bad ending... what's wrong with me? >__>

Awesome Series Watched Recently:
- Witch Hunter Robin (Beefy sasuke...???)
- Ghost Hunt
- Monster (miiinnndd trip)

Awesome Manga Read:
- Kekkaishi (still getting through it, no spoilers!)
- Soul Eater (yeah they haven't updated in ages though...)
- Banana Fish!!! (OMFG public library?? COME ON)

Awesome Music Listened To:
- The White Stripes (do they use the same chord sequence in every 2nd song??)
- Sohne Mannheims (SP?? AWESOME German singers)
- Shiina Ringo (just today watched a bunch of Tokyo Jihen PVs. She's still like... worship worthy to me. X333333)

If you've just now discovered you have one of these loves in common with me, come and say hi on MSN where I still sometimes hang out!

Let this be a lesson to you kids: Just beacuse the art style is dated, doesn't mean a manga isn't ABSOLUTELY UHMAZING!! Quite the opposite: the aged manga that survive into the present day and are still on the Borders shelves/ online readers: well that's a testanment to their awesomeness!!

AKA YOU SHOULD ALL GO AND READ BANANA FISH. NAOWW~~~

And lots of deadlines too..

Somehow in all this time I haven't gotten around to making inquiries at student HQ about exchange to the UK... although there's so much projects to progress on, so many drawings I need to finish & books and manga I need to read, I seem to get absolutely nothing done week in week out.

My DS might have something to do with the sudden disappearance of my time... hmmm. Order of Ecclessia. ROCKS SO MUCH!!

I'm stuck in the same place as I was with Portrait of Ruin (bad ending stage... which happens in all CV games) and trying desperately to figure out how to kill Albus without... killing Albus. Someone very tartly suggested "Snape". "Snape" is not the answer to killing Albus, thank you. >___>

Anyway, awesome game everyone and I suggest you get it. If you're not confident in sidescrollers, start with Portrait or Dawn though because they're more user friendly.

*pimps villagers*

Anyway!

Urh, yeah. Just wanted to say sorry cuz after a flurry of action I'm not here again for the foreseeable future while Uni sucks up all of my time & creative energies. Check out my blog though, if anything that'll get updated.

I'm gonna go and have fun at Manifest with my sis this weekend and check out what's going on in the weird wonderful world of Anime... mostly I want to see what our local traders are up to in the Hall & maybe find out how to get in on that action in years to come...
If you're a local and gonna be there, hopefully I'll get my Akihabara Maid dress back from the girl I lent it to and will be a maid! Among hundreds!

Hmmmmm maybe I should wear a nametag instead...

A Touch of Oz Stateside

I'm sending some "australian stuff" to a friend of mine in the US in the hopes of procuring some IT fixit prowess from them, and to return the kind present of homebaked cookies he sent me while I was in Japan working at Kogen Hotel.

So far, containing: Timtams, Vegemite. And a special picture I'm putting together to, y'know, bribe. >___>

Actually I was looking for some ANZAC bikkies in Safeway but couldn't find any... are they only available in the season? If that's the case I never realised... we made them once in Home Ec and I had a recipe lying around somewhere but mum didn't like the idea of "political" cookies in the house.
That's survivors of Communism for you.

Anyway!

Some bastard just totally showed up to my page and didn't identify to me the 22,222nd pageview! :< so sad. People, look out for 23,232 and take a screenshot pls, or at least copypaste, and you get a picture!

Hmm what else... spring is here already! I know we should all be worried about the relative lack of rainfall and shortness of cold weather and all (eventually you can't call it a drought anymore... just a desert ;/) but I am totally not going to miss bitter icy winds and schizophrenic weather that Melbourne Winter epitomises. You can't even rug up because the sun'll come out and boil you alive in your layers of fuzzy warm goose down!

There has finally been some CONSTANT sunshine, so I've been running around like a total arts student with a tripod strapped to my backback, crawling around Brighton Pier looking for the perfect photograph on my oldschool film SLR camera that I borrowed from my boss.
HOOHAH!

...and then there's all the film developing costs.

Finally cleaned my room!

Aight. Finally getting out of that "holiday" mode coming back from NZ and wafting in and out of classes I'm very lucky that no assignments are due in the first 2 weeks besides in-class activities.

Finally the seriousness of the situation strikes me!


Art?

UGH I've done it again, set up a blog I don't really want to keep up... I'm probably going to reclaim my LJ, properly start using it and put all my drawings there.
SERIOUSLY I need to stop doing this!

Next item on my urgency list: TTGL present to mail to a man to hopefully coerce some IT aid from him.

What do you think? Should DA be used for coloured, polished pictures you're proud of or for EVERYTHING you do, rough stuff included? Or should that rough stuff be edited / collated to stop waste of space?

How do you use YOUR DA?
