As a result my messages keep building up, and I end up deleting quite a few without reading journals or looking at art.
Anyway, I'm going to upload a couple of things now that I've had on my hard drive for a while.

We leave in just over a day. I'm going to be spending two weeks skiing in Canada Big White and Whistler for a week each. Very exciting

That's all, just thought I should say something about my long, long absence.

I am incredibly sick of studying, it's not something I'm very good at so I'm almost ready to just give up. Thankfully I'll be done by Tuesday, and then I can just sit back and do nothing without feeling guilty. One good thing about exam time is that I always seem to do more drawings (well, maybe not *good* as such...). Hopefully I'll have something to put up soon, I think I've still got a couple of older things I need to scan and do something with, including my experiments with watercolour (only one of which I really like XD).

Anyway, back to studying psychology (at least it's more interesting than my other subject - political science!)

I've been spending fa~ar too much money recently. In the last two months and a bit I have bought 10 cds (four in the same day, and two each on three other occasions) totalling around NZ$220 and then earlier last week I bought the Cowboy Bebop DVD boxset for just over $100 (much cheaper than I could have paid, but still...), around two or three volumes of manga, and three other books. Altogether that comes to around... $450 And I'm supposed to be saving my money
Oh well, I don't actually think I regret buying anything, all the cds I bought were ones I had been wanting, or *really* enjoyed, the DVDs were just something I *had* to get eventually, and books are... well books don't count, in my mind at least!

I've been on a bit of a sketchy, don't-really-do-anything-decent, art kick recently. That and writing. I'll try to remember to scan and upload something soon, there are a few things that are worth showing, even if a couple of them are over a month old

I finally saw Akira the other weekend! I've been wanting to see it for ages, and so when my friend cancelled our plans for the night, I decided I would have a quiet night to myself and watch a couple of DVDs. So I got Akira and the Cowboy Bebop movie out and watched them with a bag of licorice allsorts
Akira was quite different to what I had expected, not that I really know what I expected, but it wasn't that. I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't something I felt I could watch that often. Cowboy Bebop on the other hand, I watched it twice in the three days I had it rented, and would gladly watch it again. There's just something so fun about that series/movie - and now that I own the series, I can watch it whenever I like! Yay!
If anybody has any other *must see* anime (movies preferably - they're easier to rent, and I can't afford to buy any more stuff!), let me know.

Hmm, this turned kinda long, so I'll finish up here. I should go to sleep at any rate... its now just after 1am

And then I deleted it all.

Why? Because I realised how hypocritical it was of me to say I'm getting sick of seeing these things, and then write my own.

For the record: I support °jark, I don't think $spyed is evil, I will either be posting a jark-related image or nothing at all on August 7th, and I like cheese.

Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil anything, I just had to express my great astonishment at what happened in it! Besides from the slight romance, I don't think I foresaw any of it. It was 'bloody brilliant' and I will now be waiting for JKR to get on and write no.7! ]]> ~antares520 http://antares520.deviantart.com/journal/5919906/ http://antares520.deviantart.com/journal/5919906/ Wed, 13 Jul 2005 03:29:47 PDT I don't want to spend that much money on books

In happy news, look!! -->> [link] I came runner-up I'm so happy

I just got back from dinner with my boyfriend, I had a yummy pizza and a coffee after, I'm really quite full now! I should go to bed soon, it will make paying attention to my morning lectures a little easier...

The first was the easiest, I left after an hour and a quarter (it was a three hour exam); but I was never gonna have a problem with it. The next three exams will be soooo much worse.
Two tomorrow, then one on monday (statistics... evil thing that it is )

See you on the other side... hopefully!

[Edit 27 June]
*collapses from exhaustion and frustration* I hate statistics! I was right before when I said it was evil; the exam was awful.
At least I'm finished though. I've got a week and a half of holidays now before the second semester starts. I think I'll spend a fair amount of that time sleeping.
*Goes off somewhere to sleep off the frustration*

Heh, I came onto DA yesterday and they gave me a weeks subscription, yay!
I can see why people like it so much, having thumbnails for the deviations in my message centre is handy. Though I haven't even noticced the missing ads! ]]> ~antares520 http://antares520.deviantart.com/journal/5271139/ http://antares520.deviantart.com/journal/5271139/ Mon, 16 May 2005 22:20:19 PDT The net came back pretty quickly, but then it got screwed up again it's being very frustrating lately.
I just uploaded a 'collage' of some recent pics, but it doesn't seem to be showing up in my gallery ... stupid DA, I've been having the same problems lots of ppl seem to be having with faves not showing up and stuff, and now this.

[edit] 12th May
I have no internet at home at the moment, and right when I had a whole lot of pics to upload! I don't know how long it will take to get back - hopefully not long.

[5May]

Yay me, I got graded tonight! I am now a 1st kyu in karate - brown belt with two black tips. That means my next grading is to black belt

In other news, I finally got my desk for my room, it was first ordered over a year ago the company we were dealing with went bankrupt and the deposit (50%) was lost. Then the next company took a few months to tell us they were too busy to do it. But the place that finally did it was good, they didn't take tooooo~ long, and it looks really good.

I had initially been trying not to buy an ipod, but I decided it was what I wanted, and there wasn't anything else that was quite right. So I went into a store a couple of weeks ago and put my name down so that when they got some in they would give me a call.
I am now the proud owner of a blue 6GB iPod mini

I also bought the Robota book the other day. I saw it in Borders and was like because I'd read about it here --> [link] and the story is written by one of my favourite authors, Orson Scott Card, and the art is by Doug Chiang who is an amazing artist (he did work on Star Wars). So I was very happy when I saw it there.

Speaking of books, I've managed to read something like five in the last week and a half!
A Darkness at Sethanon by Raymond E Feist
Jimmy the Hand also by Feist
The Magician's Nephew, and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C S Lewis (which I, shockingly, have never read before )
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon
and, of course, Robota by the ppl mentioned above.
I feel very productive (though I'm sure I could've been doing things that actually *needed* to be done instead).

22 April
Wow, one of my friends just got engaged today!! It's really scary to think about since she's not even 19 yet! But she's known this guy for over a year, and from the way she talks about him, it seems right that this is happening.
It's really scary to think about though, I'm going to be going to my friends wedding at the end of next year! (She wants it to be Nov 06)

o_O ... its so strange! Cool, but strange

They had attached charges and exploded it and all that, but thankfully it wasn't anything.
Here in NZ, it seems so strange to think of bomb threats and all that, so most people didn't take it seriously - I didn't really either. But thinking about what it might have been like if it actually was something serious is a bit scary, though why anyone would want to blow up the university registry building is beyond me!
The worst part of the day, though, was the fact that my bike was parked underneath the library, and since I couldn't get it, I had to stay at the uni for three hours longer than I normally would've!!

We have to spply to enrol, and then later on go in and pay etc. I'm going back for my second year of a psychology degree, lectures start Feb 21st, and I'm looking forward to it
Art-related I've been doing a few things, mostly just sketches or uncoloured stuff. I'll get around to uploading some of it eventually, but don't expect to see much computer coloured stuff, I haven't really been in the right mood for it - the one thing I did try to cg is looking *really* bad
Anyway, hope everyone had a good new year and is so far successful on their new years resolutions (if you have 'em - I don't really )

As for me, I'm celebrating with my extended family, so it should be a lot of fun. (And I won't be around for a week or so)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

(And a Happy New Year if I don't get round to it again ) ]]> ~antares520 http://antares520.deviantart.com/journal/3865013/ http://antares520.deviantart.com/journal/3865013/ Thu, 18 Nov 2004 13:45:04 PST The first thing that happened was - I got a job!! it's working weekends at this craft place, and I'd only gone for an interview the day before and didn't expect to find out so soon the results of it. But I now have a job (It's my first real one, and my parents have been bugging me about getting one over these summer holidays)
Then I had karate last night. I taught my class as usual (although it was smaller than usual) and went to the senior training class afterwards. And I graded I am now a 2nd kyu (brown belt with one black tip) so only have two more gradings till I am a black belt.
Yea, so that was my good day - and my parents are going away for the weekend, so I have the house to myself!

once they're done, I'll be able to do whatever I want without feeling guilty, so I'll hopefully be uploading more stuff over the next few months (four months before the year university year begins again). Although I will hopefully be getting a job too this summer, and will be going away over the christmas/new year period.

okays... thats all...

in non-weather related topics, I'm getting swamped with work again. It's almost the end of the term, and then I get two weeks holiday, one week of which will be a ski week .

Things to do (to remind myself ):
finish wolf pic (don't know if this will happen really - i kinda got a bit sick of it )
Do card for my friends birthday - its not till september, and I've already done most of it, just gotta do the background.
Scan in all the sketches from boring lectures.

Its kinda boring being stuck in my room all day, looking at notes over and over ... and I have no chocolate left either

Oh well, nearly holiday time, even though I'll still have stuff to do, it'll be a good break! I'm aiming to get the wolf picture done by the end of the break (which is only one week long), and hopefully I will have time to do other stuff, if not I'll upload some sketches which I have sitting around.

lalala... that really has no relevance at all does it? ... oh well... I'm listening to goood music at the moment, so maybe that's where it came from.

just got back from seeing King Lear at the theatre. It was excellent. I don't have anything to compare it against, but it was very well done. It started at 7:30, and finished at 10:50, with a 15min interval, so it was kinda long, but it didn't really seem like it. I must admit i felt like talking in shakespearean language for a little while after... i restrained myself though... my family might have thought I was a little strange
one of the kinda cool things about it was that they actually used fake blood... and it looked like real blood (apparently its watered down golden syrup with some sort of cornflower or something ). Overall the acting was excellent, but there was one actor who kinda annoyed me cos there was a time when he was standing still, and he was standing with his mouth open like --> ... it was very distracting

O well.. gotta finish up some maths work before tomorrow, I really should've got an early nights sleep cos i haven't been sleeping very well at all for the last couple of nights ...

Goodbye!! ]]> ~antares520
