TWO! MINUTES! TO MIIIID NIIIIGHT!!!
Iron Maiden.




Hey Darke-Fans. how was everyone's week?

as you may remember, it snowed last week. which meant i had the day off work. the snow has pretty much hung around all week, although it physically stopped snowing on tuesday, and by wednesday, all the settled stuff had turned into ice. so yeah, pretty much a week of slipping and sliding around. pretty much the whole country shut down on monday, but we were kinda sorta back to normal by wednesday. go fig.

oh, and apparently a lot of people made it into my work (where i failed). and, apparently, we sold a lot of sledges. ha ha!!

the rest of the week has been pretty boring and uneventful.

on thursday i bought some cheap manga from Forbidden Planet (of all places). i bought vol 8 of "The All New Adventures of Tenchi Muyo" for £2.99 (about 5 US Dollars) and a manga called "Metro Survive" for about the same. "Metro Survive" is a manga i saw somewhere else a month or two ago, and its a fairly simple story. Loser guy gets stuck doing overtime and then on the train ride home, the metro and the building above it collapse in a level 7 quake, and he has to band together with the other passengers in order to survive. The art is decent, and the story is good, but not normally something i'd pick up. but for some reason, i find the manga a really compelling read. something about the characters, the dialogue, the situation...it makes for a great read. its pretty short, only two volumes long, and its fairly fast paced too, but i'd recommend it to you guys, even if you just read it in-store! but seeing as it was cheap, i bought it this time round. XD

i also bought the animated movie "Vexille" for about £8 ($12-ish?). i really enjoyed the movie when i went to see it at the ICA, even though its more or less a rip-off of the Appleseed movies. the visuals are stunning though, and once again, it was going pretty cheap, so i figured "why not?"

i managed to finish my Steel Nation Finale this week and posted it on DeviantArt. the first part can be found here, there are links to the other parts on the site.

Start here


on saturday evening i went into London to attend a fairwell party for Marc, who is the admin guy at work. he has to go back to south africa, so we sent him out in style, "The Cotswold Way" (which involves a lot of alcohol and brownies)

the pub was actually a really nice pub in Hammersmith, which is west london. it was a bit of a trip to get there (and even more of a trip to get back, especially under the influence, if you catch my meaning) but worth it in the end. good times.


so anyway, that was my week. im gonna leave you with some pictures of the snow.

of course, when Darke goes and plays in the snow, he does things a little differently...

little zaku snowman!

with Gundam models of course!

abandoned in the snow

you dont get many opportunities like this, so i figured a mini photo shoot was in order

the house kinda spoils the realism shot here

this is one of my fav shots of the day

a low angle shot there for good measure

DarkeAngel. would like to pilot gundam. even in snow.

This is my absolute fav shot of the day. it came out really clear!

of course, i did some traditional snow-play as well...

some sort of creature?
a grotesque monument to the snow?
Its Venus De Milo, you venus de moron

i tried to make a snow venus de milo. it came out as something horribly grotedque and mishapen, more of a "Venus de Morbid"

still....i had fun. XD


well, till next time!!!
