Alright kiddies…

We’re back to tracking our spending (cause we’re poor) and eating (cause we ate too many) like Zen Habits often suggests. How dreadfully not exciting. Never mind. Needs must.

I’m broke because, even though I sold all my Anne Rice books to get it, the fancy shmansy Angel box set still set me back about £25. Pluse the Muse tickets. For the record, I didn’t get the fancy box set the Amazon link links to. The American version is slightly different - has nicer pictures and stuff - and was also the same price to import as the cheap crap one from here. I win at shopping, clearly.

More photos to come in a few days. Just noticed the gateway page could use an update… might do that. Or might do some work. Or go back to sleep until lunch time. Those all seem like excellent ideas.

Also I started listening to The Spirit Room by Michelle Branch (in between bouts of loud Muse) and it’s grown on me. I don’t think she’s a particularly good singer, but I like some of the songs. Goodbye To You, All You Wanted and I’d Rather Be In Love in particular.

ETA: I just did a very quick redesign of the front page, which I’m sure a lot of you have never seen. Just wanted to point it out :) When my portfolio is up and running there will be something better there.

Today’s Big News…

Feb 22nd - Muse!… is that the Mister and I managed to get tickets to see Muse at the Royal Albert Hall in April. The gig is for the Teenage Cancer Trust, and if past experience is anything to go by, it will be amazing. I’ve seen them at Wembley Arena, and Wembley Stadium, so this’ll be a different experience as it’s a significantly smaller venue. I’m excited. We’re 2 in 5000 peeps who get to go. How awesome.

Also I put up the rest of the Bleeding Rose pics. You can see them here or here. I don’t change the prices they put in on the prints, so if you want one let me know and I’ll sort them out to be more reasonable. :)

An update on my 365!

I’m all up to date since the last update I think, here are the thumbs. Actually this is going to turn into a massive post now that I think about it, interspersed with thumbs of my 365.

Jan 26th - Cups Jan 27th - What day is it? Jan 28th - Space Dimentia Jan 29th - Chocolate

Jan 30th - No Smoking

I had this photograph featured in a piece on NowPublic.com about the government maybe enforcing some kind of smoking licence scheme. I know it’s not that big of a deal, but it’s really nice that they asked to use my photograph. Also VOTE PETE for student support officer. This be him, pictured here.

Jan 31st - E4 Feb 1st - Think Pink

Feb 2nd - My arm...

I saw Sweeney Todd. Whever it was, with the Mister. I thought the movie was good. Not my favourite Burton, but it kept me entertained. Here I tried drawing with white on black paper, which is much harder than it sounds. I will post the finished piece, when I finish it, I guess.

Feb 3rd - Crystal Water Feb 4th - What makes a beast? Feb 5th - Cop out! Feb 6th - Steamy Veg Feb 7th - Digital Squirrel

Feb 8th - Camel

The Mister’s mum sent us pressies from Egypt. This is the little wood camel we got. Name suggestions in the comments please!

Feb 9th - Tinted

My best friend came to visit that Friday. Haven’t seen him since Christmas so it was a blast. The Mister cooked us up a good dinner and good times were had by all. These are some of the flowers he brought me.

Feb 10th - Light Feb 11th - Love Feb 12th - Thirsty?

Feb 13th - Skyways

I honestly adore how in England going to the beach in winter isn’t a bad idea. I spent the best part of my day down at the beach whichever day this was, just listening to music and sleeping on the pebbles. It was awesome. The weather was nice too. I love this photo.

Feb 14th - Rainbow Feb 15th - I want to kiss you...

My Valentines present was oil pastels which I asked for. Expect an art in the next few weeks :D This is also the card I made for the Mister, the idea for which I stole from Dinosaur Comics. Check that out. Hilarity with dinosaurs. It’s hand painted anyway. Check me out. Little miss artist.

Valentines day itself, the Mister cooked me a lovely meal, we had lots of wine, and watched Lost in Translation. I quite liked the film, it kind of reminded me of Eternal Sunshine in the way it was formulated and how it was two people making a connection.

Feb 16th - Olympus

Selling my blue Olympus 410. Buy it here.

Massive emo moment, haha! I’ll post when I have the rest of this set up, I have a few of them. They’re sort of a sequel to my Descent themed set and part of my Self Elected project.
