I started it a long time ago, and read as far as chapter 59. Then a lot of things happened in it and I took a break to digest and get the whole story so far straight in my head and then sort of never got started on it again. But then I decided to finish it and I read all the volumes from friday to monday and now I'm totally beat. There's so much dialogue! Which is why I like it so much I guess. I think reading everything in one go made it easier to follow the story and all the plot twists 'cause you remember all the little details.

I must say though, and there's no spoilers here because I hate that, that the ending really blew my mind. I didn't expect it to go quite like that, but it was great, and even though I had some whishes, this way probably makes for a much better conclusion I think.


Now I just have to get through the insanely thick how-to-read-volume 13. I started it but there was just so much in there, I had to stop for the day. Even though I managed to understand everything that happened there's a lot of cool info in there so I hope I manage to get back to it!

I have finally been able to get my computer back online after having trouble for several months, which is why I haven't updated in so long. I had to switch my subscription to another company after about three months of back and forth with tech support, and then, after they say that 'this is no problem at all, just hang in there and we'll fix this' and all that, they have the gall to say that 'sorry we doesn't seem to be able to help you after all, you're just going to have to switch operator, but there is a 6 week termination period or whatever the word is in english, AND they kept sending bills. aaarrgggh. But now I'm back, and I'll see what I can do about uploading something new again.

that's all I have to say for now. thanks

Well. I don't really have that much to say. Working on a few new pictures. Thought I'd make a picture of Sergei Dragunov. Cause I love that man. ! . Also working on some submissions for Y.Gallery. A pretty slow period. Nothing is happening in my life at the moment.

Wow, it seems the time between updating on my page just gets longer and longer. So I thought I´d just let those who want to know, know that I´m still alive. I´m still alive folks! Been working on a picture of my favorite russian/ boxer/ blonde/ hunk/ man in general, Ivan Drago, better known as Dolph Lundgren for a time now, and I must say, it´s coming along nicely. I will see if I can get it up today, but I am not too hopeful.
I haven´t gotten around to getting a new harddisk for my stationary yet, so I am working from my lap top, and I don´t have drivers for mac for my scanner, so all I have is the digital camera again, and it takes some time getting used to it again. I love my laptop, make no mistake about it, but it´s difficult going back and forth between pc and mac.
I also don´t really like this time of the year. In december, you´re way down there in the bottom left of the callendar, and you really feel like you are finnished with something, you´ve accomplished something. Bu then january 1. comes along, and you´re all the way up there, in the top left, and you have to start all over again on a new year, you have to do the same things over again, and I really don´t find that motivating at all. Plus, it´s 12 months ´til christmas again... bummer.
But I´ll stop ranting again now and see if I can get Ivan to look all pretty on my page here.

Happy New Year everyone! Sorry for being so negative

I must really start by saying that it's been a rough couple of days for me this week.
I've had to undergo surgery again today, so yesterday, to prepare for it I had to take some pills that are meant to prevent or reduce the risk of infection. They were the sice of small grapes! You know, the ones that are seedless? Two of those. So I popped them before I got in my car to drive for work, and headed off.
Then, 300 meters down the road, theres a cat in the middle of the road. So I hit the brakes and sverve to avoid hitting him. Of course without considering that the asfalt where I live is brand new, and it was raining, so it was wet. I mean things happen pretty fast when they do happen. So I sverve away from this cat, (he's black and white with a patch over his eye so everyone just calls him the pirate. Which right now seems an appropriate name...) and the right rear tyre goes off the road and nearly into the ditch. So I automatically turn the car the other way (which of course you shouldn't) and it starts going around. and backwards! And this was at the top of a pretty steep slope and in th emiddle of a left-turn, so it proceeds to spin around a couple of times, before slamming with the drivers side (my side) into the railing. It's completely wrecked! So I tried to start it again and succeded after about 30 seconds and drive 50 meters back towards my home and park it at a rest stop. So I called my mother and got her to come and get me and drive me to work, and called work to tell them I would be a little late. (she of course freaked when she saw the car, because it probably looked a lot worse than it really was, and was horrified and thought I had gotten whip-lash or something worse.)
And I got to work.
Now, I'm an apprentice hair dresser, so we have a lot of models we practise on, and today I was going to practise up-doos.
And by now the pills I had previouslytaken were starting to take effect. So I got a massive stomach ache (kolikk) so that I could barely stand upright, and my pupils dilated so I got a little disoriented, and my hands were shaking real bad since they wen't straight into my bloodstream. But since we're dealing with customers, you have to put on a brave face. And that wasn't easy, but I managed until I was done. So I had to go home and go to bed while the others had to call my clients for the rest of the day and say that their appointments were canceled.
By now I was starving, because I had the surgery the next day, so I couldn't eat or drink anything that day at all, until it was over.
So I went home feeling really sorry for myself and slept til the next day, getting up occacionally to puke.
So the next day, today, I got up at around 7 and went to the hospital where I was prepped and drugged even more, and they did the operation. And now I've rested for about a half day, and am sitting in my bed updating my journal. And feeling a bit queesy
Hopefully the surgery will be a success. Time will tell. *crossing my fingers*
