so i go off to work, with the computer still in my account, still with photoshop open, and think nothign of it.

so i come home just now and find that i hadn't saved the high res. and my mum had come to use the computer, quit photoshop and clicked 'no' when it asked her to save, just because she dind't want to fuck evrerything up, and so now i dont have a high res. copy. so ive had to go and put it all together again.

its nothing major but its annoying. ahh well. ]]> ~eyeoftwilightstorm http://eyeoftwilightstorm.deviantart.com/journal/3823141/ http://eyeoftwilightstorm.deviantart.com/journal/3823141/ Sun, 14 Nov 2004 06:14:48 PST
well last night i had fun. as most of you may know, halo 2 is out now. my friend natasha brought her xbox around and halo 2 and her, my friend evie, my friend niki, my friend erin and i played halo2 till early hours of the morning. although erin went home at around 12, the rest of us didn't finish till around 4ish. we went for a swim around 1ish which was fun cause niki was only wearing white pajama bottoms and a white shirt. lol. yeh..

so, halo 2 kicks arse. the single player isn't as fun as the multiplayer but its always like that.

capture the flag kicks arse. woo. go me. niki and i beat natasha and evie with our über-l33t skills before turning in for the night.

niki and i slept in my bed and evie and natasha slept out in the living room. err.. no comment there.

hey you know whats cool about mp3 players and computers.

1. listening to your mp3 player while using your puter doesn't take up any more ram.

2. you can leave your computer and still have l33t music playin. woo.

err.. you can take it into the toilet.. yes... hmm..

so. here's a bit of info on what ive been doing lately.

COMING 2005: my webcomic. i have a few ideas and plenty of sketches. i have a few good scripts written out. but nothing solid yet. the character sketches are looking good. but im still stuck for a title. ahh well, it'll come to me.

im planning to release my webcomic on new years day 2005. the full site wil be finished and fr33 of bugs (i hope) and issue 1 will be a fully colour "title page" opener. i will release issue 2 the next day followed by (i hope) 2 updates per week.

ill keep you all posted as i progress. if you have any ideas on titles or you would like to make a guest appearance, note me and ill tell you the basic idea for storylines.

well, after all that, check these fabulous sites out.

btb, i just finished reading the entire megatokyo archive. its taken me almost 3weeks but hey, it was worth it. im now moving on to ctrl alt delete which is alright but yeh.

UPDATE: i just submitted this sketch of me playing xbox on my couch. ive been told by my friends that it looks like this other dude at my school rather than me though. so im gonna have to change that. here's the link anyway. [link]

4:30am wake up and get ready to go to the palmer river to dig up dirt to gold pan with my dad.

4:44am, leave.

6:30am fall asleep on the way up there.

7am. arrive but stay asleep.

9am. wake up and help carry some buckets of dug up dirt.

10:30ish am, come home.

1:30ish pm, get home.

woo that was fun. i had a good time even though i slept for half of it. haha. it was good spending some good quality time with my dad that doesn't involve sitting in front of the TV.

so anyway, im back home now and im drawing as usual. im trying to sketch myself into cartoon form. its kinda hard.

i dont mean to shock anyone with that statement. i often do this, (all-nighters.. not shock people with crazy statements about all-nighters.... *_*), but usually it's for no reason at all. well, tonight, i had a reason.

its seems that there are alot of webcomics out there. i did not know this. ive never really gotten into them before.

lately however, ~clingwrap and her friend matt have created one. you may have seen them if you went to supanova in brissy last weekend. their comic is called gameunder. you may find it here - -> at [link]

from that site, i have found, "make with the funny" [link], "mac hall" [link], and "chugworth" [link].

i managed to read every single make with the funny strip. it took me two days but i did it. and now im half way through mac hall. its quite funny.

anyway, after reading these webcomics, ive gotten ispiration to attempt my own.

i am a very slack person. i never hand in assignments on time, im just generally lazy. even though i dont like to admit it sometimes.
ive tried doing websites before but just slacked out. the only thing ive really 'achieved' is my cert 3 in multi media.

anycrap, ive been writing down ideas and doing character sketches and scanning them and colouring them and all types of shit tonight which is quite different than the normal night of surfing for pr0n.

once i finish colouring one of them, ill upload it. but who knows, maybe i might actually 'achieve' this little feat(sp?) of mine. plus i have to work around school.

Ok, take in to note:

Craig: is me.
Niki: is my friend niki bailey.

i started talking to her about how people pre-judge other people and how when you actually sit down and get to know them, they usually arent anything like what people say about them.

Craig: like, when i met you, a few days later i was talking to someone and i was like, "yeah i met this choice chick the other night, she was really nice and friendly and she was cool"

Craig: (other friend)"yeah what's her name?"

Craig: "err.. niki bailey"

Craig: (other friend)"oh.. niki bailey??"

Craig: "yeah....."

Craig: (other friend)"ive heard she's a major slut and a complete bitch and fucks everyone. you dont want to be friends with her man aye."

Craig: "true..."

Craig: then i got to know you and i realised case 1 of nothing is what it seems

Craig: now, fast forward to today

Craig: im not sure if you've heard the name, but there's this chick in grade 11 at my school, he name is Amelia Stein. she's kinda popular, everyone knows her

Niki: yeh

Niki: gerard used to like her

Craig: anyway, back in year 8-early yr10, there were alot of 'slut' rumours going around about her

Craig: and so i grew up living with the fact that she is a major slut

Craig: and a total bitch and all that jax

Craig: jaz*

Craig: but this year, she's in my film and tv class. so i was like, oh great, not her.

Craig: but throughout the year ive come to slowly get to know her and realise she's not that bad. but still, i never talked to her cept in film and telly and at the rockestedfod because she's fully into all that stuff

Craig: and anyway,

Craig: today i was meant to go to centrals after school with erin but she had to go home straight away so i decided to go in anyway

Craig: and mum and dad were meant to pick me up at 5:00 so i went in and did some crap

Craig: and 4:30 came around, so i went to the food court and decided to just hang out there for half an hour. and so im sittin' down reading a sain magazine (forgive me) and who should out of nowhere appear right beside me to say hallo!, Amelia.

Craig: "oh hey amelia".

Craig: "craig im getting sushi and you're staying here until i come back"

Craig: well we ended up talking for half an hour while i waited. she could of gone home right then but she decided to sit and stay and keep me company

Craig: and thus, case two of nothing is what it seems

Niki: yeh

Niki: see i hate that

Niki: people are so eager to pre-judge

Craig: indeed

Craig: but like, she's really out there and thats why people pre-judge her

Niki: yeh

Craig: its funny, we never talk, but in that half an hour, we managed to talk about all this shit that i probably wouldn't tell anyone if i didn't know them

Craig:
but that was the highlight of my day

Niki: lol

Craig: so, what did you do today?

WOO I GOT PROMOTED.

I just went into the thumbshare chat room and someone has promoted me to member. Thats cool.

Anyway, off to work on my FTV storyboard. due in on monday and i feel like shit. had a hard day at work.

-Craig ]]> ~eyeoftwilightstorm http://eyeoftwilightstorm.deviantart.com/journal/3153347/ http://eyeoftwilightstorm.deviantart.com/journal/3153347/ Wed, 18 Aug 2004 06:45:43 PDT


Ok.. ready?... GOOD!

I just got back from the Interschool Battle of the Bands (BOTB). Our school, Cairns State High School, hosts it every year. Schools from all over Far North Queensland come to compete. Half of the bands however are from Cairns High.

Im currently doing a course as an extra program at my school. It's called 'Technical Theater'. It's where i learn all about Sound, Lighting and Stage management for such things like the BOTB, Rockestedfod, and other such gigs/concerts.

Now, tonight at the BOTB, i was Stage Manager. (ie, in charge of everything to do with people on and backstage. If anyone had a problem with amp, etc. they had to come see me. this is a very big job seenas how ive never done it before). I had about 6-7 people who were meant to be helping me. One of them is my drummer. Jason. He was basically head of backstage but i still had authority over him. (Not that i used it. Didn't really need to and im not that sort of person). So anyway, out of these half a dozen people who were meant to be helping me out, only about 3 were. Those 3 being good mates of mine anyway.

Now, here's the situation. I'm on a headset talking to Travers ((Travis) our tech director and teacher) the whole time. He was up directing the other kids on the lighting and sound boards.

I'm standing next to the smoke machine behind the curtains. I have my mate Ben operating the smoke machine. Thats all good. Now, the bands.

Sh*t! The first band that came on tried to play Tool's Stinkfist. The singer had a megaphone. I'm not sure if any of you know this but this is how MJK performs alot of the songs live because he cant get the scratchy effect live.
So this band were trying to do the same thing.
Where did they go wrong?

1. they did NOT come to the techs and stage management before the gig to tell us they were using a megaphone. If they had of done this, we could of

2. done a sound check with the megaphone to get a good level of volume so that it would sound good.

THEN!, half way through Stinkfist, the guitarist says he cant hear himself and they all walk off stage. Ok... what the fuck is going on?

By this time, me, little ol' craigmac, who is in charge of everything on stage and around, has to deal with all this sh*t, is about to punch the first person i see through the first hard object i find.

Now ive got the band members yelling at me, Travers yelling at me through the headset, the co-host, Erin, coming over trying to calm down the crowd on the microphone, Ben asking me whats going on. My stage crew yelling at me asking whats going on. So i just turned around and said. "LOOK!! I CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT YOU'RE GUITAR. I'M GETTING TRAVERS TO TURN UP THE FOLDBACK. NOW SHUT THE FU*K UP AND START PLAYING AGAIN. STAGE CREW, SHUT UP AND LET ME THINK. TRAVERS!, TURN UP THE FOLDBACK. thank you."

ok so that was the first band out of 10. SHIT!

each band gets 10 minutes to setup and play two songs. give or take a few minutes. y'know. these guys were up to minute 6.. and they had already had half an hour before everyone arrived to setup. FOR FU*KS SAKE!

Now the second band comes on. They are a 70's punk band. These guys are my pet hate bands. They dont give to sh*ts about anything, as long as they look cool.

It took me 5 minutes to explain to this guy that the reason the pedal he wanted to use was not changing him into distortion was because he didn't have plugged in. I mean, he didn't even know how to use his own guitar.

Then there were these bunch of guys who were from the island or something. They're like, aboriginies but not. These guys were great.
they were fully nervous and it was hard for me to understand them most of the time, but all they wanted was to play music, like, the guitarist goes to me, "ok, which lead do i use"

me: "err.. (/me picks up a lead.) this one. its pretty short though, is that ok"

him:"yeah mate thats ok. i just want to play guitar"

me: "FINALLY!! someone who speaks my language."

these guys finished their two songs ahead of schedual (sp?). This was great considering the last 3 bands had gone over their time limit.

The next band were almost as good as the ones before them. They also finished undertime.

This cherade (sp?) continued for most of the night. Getting better as it went on through the night.

The second last band, were 70's punkers. GREAT.

haha.. this is so pathetic i want to laugh but i cant. lol.

there was that di*khead who had his lead stretched like... ]]> ~eyeoftwilightstorm http://eyeoftwilightstorm.deviantart.com/journal/3142592/ http://eyeoftwilightstorm.deviantart.com/journal/3142592/ Mon, 16 Aug 2004 20:58:38 PDT
Well... im home sick from school. My friend Erin was to pick me up and give me a lift this morning but i slept in. My dad rang me from work at 9:30 and woke me up. I looked at my clock, saw what time it was, and shit my self with fright. I rang up Sue, Erin's mum, and apologised and aparently they were knocking on my window and all but i still didn't wake up. Ive had the flu lately so yeah. I'm blaming it on that and the fact that my mum didn't ring at 7:30 to wake me up.

[link] <--- check it out. he's a dj as well. we both reakon he's taken too much acid, but the shit that comes out of him is really cool. fucking twisted and sick, but cool.

also another one to check out is [link]

the guy makes these big spheres out of metal and paints them fluro, then puts a black light on them, and slowly turns the inner spheres at around 5rpm so that it appears as if diamons are moving downwards. then all the reflections spread out against the walls. its amazing.

ive been trying to score photoshop 7 off of my friend evie right, but when she burnt it for me, (along with cool edit pro, flash mx, and a bunch of videos), she left out the setup files. this really really shitted me off. but i was in a bad mood anyway. so now im still without photoshop. groan.

so then i tried to score it off of shian (~clingwrap) but then she tells me she doesn't have a burner. WHY ME!!

i have a few more friends i can get it off but im thinking of just going and buying the fucking thing. its too much stuffin around. i cant download it off the net either cause of my shitty 56k modem, and most everything i download off the net in the way of programs never work anyway.

anycrap, im gonna go watch worl famous for dickin around. ciao!

.echo seven.

. hey. its damn cold. bloody rediculous. i'm sitting her in a hooded jumper and shorts. lol. i still have the fan on one though. i guess i like the air circulating and snuggling up in my warm clothes and blankets. lol. .

. so john my music teacher gave me this really cool cd today. its a tribute to TOOL except its done by a classical quartet. there's no singing but all of the melodies for the vocals are done with violins. its really amazing how they've interpretted TOOL's music through classical intruments (2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello). aparently they did a tribute to nine inch nails aslwell which is something i definatelly have to find. its really amazing. .

. i went to a party on saturday night. i didn't get pissed or stoned or anything. we had a few quiet drinks and jammed and laughed and just chilled out but nothing stumbling. we had this bottle of johnny walker black lable that was twenty years old. it was so nice. then we had a bunch of smirnoff's (sp?) which ive never had before but we're really really nice. lemonade flavoured vodka. i had about a half a crownie but hated it. too much like bear and the thing was half stale anyway. .

LAst night was my birthday party. NIki, JAson, ERin, BRee, TAmara, EVie, AAron came over and we laughed and had a ball of a time. NIki gave me an extreemly cool bracelet. ONe of those spiky ones. (me = takes photo later)
ERin crashed here at my place but everyone else went home around one am-ish.
WOke up thismorning around eleven am-ish and chilled out with ERin for a while then went to work at one pm. I Have NIki's ring on cause she gave it to me when i went to do a job at work today. I Had to do like four jobs at once and so i said, "i feel like BIlbo BAggins going on a big journey. ALl i need now is a ring." SO when NIki had finished loading up my trolley, she took off her ring and gave it to me. A-Hahah. I Just didn't get time to see her after work to give it back to her so now i have it until we go bowling on WEdnessday.
I Want to try and get some work done tonight but i'm so fucking tired. MAybe if i get round to it. I Really should stop adding to this journal and start working on new material.

SO im about to draw up a plan for the studio i want to build once i finish up school. I'M thinkin' of moving out and buying a two bedroom place and just set up a home studio there. PIcs of the plan should be up soon.

CIao!

EDIT: FOrget the fuckin' design. I Just realised that we're moving out of the house soon anyway thank god.

I Should get it in a week or so. CAn't wait.

SO as i was saying. JAson and i jammed in the 'drum room' a bit and made up a cool little intro to our song. BAttle of the bands is comin' up soon but we wont enter. DOn't really want to gig until everything is perfect. HEy there's what we might call our song. PErfect. MEh, ill keep it in mind.
