Yeah~ so I haven’t updated in, like, a week…
Sorry folks…for one reason or another, I just haven’t had the time or energy or motivation to post…


Its still pretty quiet here. I cant believe I'm heading out to America in less than a week. I'm really looking forward to seeing all my friends again. ^^


On Saturday I went out drinking with my work colleagues…we had a good time. ^^ and I didn’t throw up on the train this time…

Earlier last week I bought two short books from Philip Pullman. One is “Lyra’s Oxford” (which I read in about an hour) and the other is “Once Upon a Time in the North”. (which took me a bit longer). Both are set in Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” world, of which the three famous novels come from “The Golden Compass” (Or “Northern Lights” in the UK), “the Subtle Knife” and “The Amber Spyglass”.
“Lyra’s Oxford” is set a little bit after the Trilogy, and focuses on Lyra and her daemon finding and helping a Witches’ daemon in Oxford. The other “Once Upon a Time In the North” is set many years before the Trilogy and chronicles the first meeting of Texan aeronaut Lee Scoresby and Armoured Bear Iorek Byrnison.

They’re both really nice little novelettes…its been a while since I’ve read the original trilogy, but I slipped back into their world quite happily. Following the exploits of both Lyra and Lee, I also once again found myself wishing for a daemon of my own, an animal familiar that is intimately connected to you and is your confidant and friend, another facet of your being… I have no idea what shape my own daemon would be, but I still think it would be awesome.

Later on this week I am going to go see an movie called “Vexille” at the ICA cinema (Institute for Contemporary Arts). It’s a movie that’s done in the same style as the new Appleseed movies, and I'm really looking forward to it. they are also showing both Death Note live action movies at the ICA during this month, but I have no interest in seeing them.

Heh heh, the last movie I saw at the ICA was the Cowboy Bebop movie, many many years ago… nice to see some things don’t change…

Finished my round 4 entry for the mecha tournament I'm in. I won’t find out the results till I'm in America though.

Hi-de-hi’s to certain people returning to MyO after an extended leave of absence. Mew wem, travelling disciple, purgatory, samejima mamimi and yukina123 to name a few. ^^ dunno if we’re gonna see y’all regular like round here, but nice to see you all the same .

That’s it from me today…I m gonna try and post Sunday, but don’t hold your breath…I will also try to post regularly over the summer…

Take care y’all
