Even machines can see that we are dead.
I've slightly remodeled my page a little here. The image that you see above kind of hints at what I'm planning for my portfolio site. I'm getting closer on that, but it's still a ways off. There's some extra pressure to have that done now though, despite the fact that it's difficult to work on those things with such low Internet access.
But this week will give me an opportunity to get a few things ready for when I go for another period without the 'net. There'll be a little staff shuffling at OtakuBoards and I'm going to finish off a few things for N-Sider as well.
Nothing much of interest has been happening lately, other than a few small things. I played Guild Wars today and enjoyed the updates, although I haven't actually dived into the PvP with the new classes yet. I'm actually a bit disappointed that they aren't available for PvE at the moment, as I definitely prefer that kind of cooperative play. Oh well. Hopefully they're planning something like that. Also, I've been religiously following MansonUSA, as the build-up for the new album begins. I really find the sheer depth of everything very fascinating. For example, if you go here, you'll find a log of all of the information that has been released thusfar. If you actually read through it you'll notice how incredibly detailed it is already (apart from that, you may actually get a slightly interesting history lesson). Very cool. Although I missed the little musical sample on the site and that kind of disappoints me, as I'm pretty eager to get a taste of how the band's sound will evolve in the new album.
Other than that, it's going to be a relatively quiet week. I'll be spending as much time with family as I can and I will be leaving here next week for Sydney. Last time I went to Sydney, I was really only there for the night - we spent most of the next day there, but obviously we had to try to cram in a lot of activities and it was very difficult. But I will be there from the 26th until the 30th, so I'll actually have some time to see the sights a lot more. I really can't wait, as I enjoyed my first trip there very much.
SugarCone: The apartment is found, though I don't know when we're moving in. It may be right after Sydney or we might wait a little bit longer. Still, it's nice to have found a place.
Thanks for the encouragement. ^_^
snow fox: Yeah, I am already missing my new home in Brisbane quite a lot, even though it's only been a measley two days! Haha. Oh well. It's nice to be able to come back and forth now and then.
Annsie: I'm really settling in...I already miss the whole vibe and atmosphere a lot! It's great. I'm thinking of either hanging that OB banner out my window or hanging an "Annie is cool beans" banner instead. ~_^
ShyGuy: Will someone ban this guy already? He's been pissing me off with his spammy posts for AGES!
God, the crap I have to deal with!! *tantrums*
Aaryanna: I should really get a cheap microphone and record a special message for everyone or something. That might be an easier way to update...or I could do a podcast. Wouldn't that be funny? I think I could make the lamest podcast ever. ~_^
I can't wait to get back into things once I return, especially in terms of work. I'm very eager to start putting more money into the apartment and stuff. And I need a new car. Agh!
Thanks again for your comments, you are always so cheerful and friendly, Miss Aaryanna! I always admire that. ^_^
CosmicSailor: It's difficult, but I am surprised at how well I've handled things. I expected to be more homesick...but really, I've found it all very easy.
I think sometimes we can surprise ourselves a lot, especially when we're thrown into very unique situations.
Sennethy: Thank you! I hope your new year's eve was fun (despite the guns, anyway). When are you moving? That should be very cool.
Glad to hear from you. ^_^
RaR: Outstanding! I'm definitely going to do something like that...even if it makes me a prime target for stalkers! Heheh.
indifference: I'm glad that you had a nice new year's eve. We don't have Thanksgiving here, but I can understand that it must be hard not to be with family on such an occasion. I really really tried hard to be with family for Christmas; I'd have hated being away from them on that day.
SunfallE: It's probably good that you have an almost-guaranteed job in an industry though, especially if you are happy enough with the work and know it well. I think that's a really valuable asset.
Unfortunately my sister couldn't come to Sydney with me, which is really disappointing. However, I'm sure I can get her up to Brisbane soon enough so that I can show her around. Nothing like travelling with family, for sure. ^_^
You take care too! I hope everything is going well. ^_^
Mimmi-kun: Ahh, so you don't mind making buns, then? Excellent. I'm sure we can spend the really hot nights out on the balcony playing Literati with some cool drinks. I think that'd be a good way to spend time in summer (even though I am awful at Literati). ~_^
Shinji: The main thing it taught me is that nobody can ever really use the excuse that they were too drunk. Even when you are ridiculously drunk, you still basically know what's going on around you. I think that was a good lesson. lol
John: *bows down to John's bowing down to R@R's incredible image prowess*
