i know i have a penchant for long posts, even when i have nothing to talk about, but today is the exception. honest!

Heya folks. its been a quiet week for me overall. i've just been trying to get myself sorted.

last sunday i went back to my Shaolin Staff class, which was fun. im so out of shape from the 6 months i've been away though! i was so stiff for a couple of days after! ^^;; im going to another class today, i'll remember to stretch before and after this time. ^^;

the rest of the week has been real quiet. i moved some stuff up into the attic (mainly empty model boxes. :q ). whilst i was up there i looked through some of the other boxes i had put up there last year, and i found my mini screwdriver set! i have been looking for that for ages...for some reason i had left it in my 1/100 Kampfer box and moved it up into the attic last year. im so absent minded sometimes, its redonkulous. :p but i found that, so thats good.

i've also booked my theory test for my motorcycle, and that's in two weeks. hopefully i'll pass and then i can do my full motorcycle licence.

my boss called me up and asked if i can start work a week earlier. i was ok with that so im now going back to work next saturday.

i went to see my nan. she hasnt been doing too well lately, so i popped in to say hi. it was good to her and my grandpa again.

i've been drawing up a storm this week...i've been inspired after so many weeks of travelling (and not being able to do much drawing) so i've currently got about three or four pictures on the go at the moment. unfortunatly cuz my laptop is still in america (and wont be home till december) i cant scan them or edit them...so its gonna be a while until i can share all these pictures. december is going to be a busy month on my DeviantArt page. XD

highlight of this week was going to London yesterday to see my friends Meredith, Jonny and Rachael. Jonny and Rachael worked with me at camp in 2008 and 2009 (jonny even worked with me my first year of camp in 2007) and Meredith worked with us in 2008 and she's currently living and working in London on a long term contract.
we all went to the Imperial War Museum, which i havent been to in a long while. it was pretty interesting, the funniest moments being when we all got into arguments...Meredith is American, Rachael is Australian and Jonny and myself are British, so each of our own national pride often ends up knocking against the others. it made for interesting (and occasionally heated) debate.
After the museum we went for a couple of drinks, and met up with Meredith's boyfriend. We headed back to Merediths apartment for dinner and we watched the end of the Australia-Scotland rugby game, which the Scots won by a hair. then we went back out again and went for a couple more drinks and some more heated debate.

all in all, a very enjoyable evening. also, i didnt get drunk at all, so the train ride home was pleasant and i slept quite soundly. ^^

That's it from me for now. This week im having another quiet week (get as much sleep as i can before i have to start getting up for work!) and on thursday im heading back into London to go see "The Sky Crawlers" at the ICA cinema. "Sky Crawlers" is an animated feature from Mamoru Oshii, whose work includes the epic Ghost in the Shell movies, so it should be a pretty good night out.

i also believe Thanksgiving is on Thursday (someone correct me if im wrong) so my standard Thanksgiving post will be up around then, probably. ^^

till next time! (oop...another long post! sorry!)
