2009 was a bad year, with too many negatives to mention. There's a lot of bitching about this year, and I'm not saying "my 2009 was worse than your 2009", but in my limited experience, 2009 was the worst year of my life. I hope 2010 is better but I don't expect it. To a large extent, things that have made 2009 so shitty are still ongoing. I see some pitfalls for the upcoming year that could cause things to deteriorate further. When things look bleak one tends to close his eyes, and in that vein, I'm not really looking forward to 2010. Take me back to 2000, please. :-(

Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2010 is a good year for everyone.

I hope I have better luck in 2010 than I did in 2009. :)

I've had a lot of alcohol tonight... I don't feel extremely drunk or anything, but I'm definitely done for the night.

Current Mood: drunk

Happy new year, and all that.

What a spectacularly clear and crisp winter night - perfect for some moon-photography, and great way to kick-start one of my hazy new years resolutions: actually do something this year with my camera-kit!

I give you a so-called blue moon, a roughly once-every-three-years 'extra' full moon event:



For the curious, shot taken with a Canon 400D, and 70-200 F4 L lens at 200mm, F5.6 1/500 ISO100 on a Manfrotto tripod with remote release / mirror lock-up. Image cropped at full resolution, processed from RAW.

I'd love to try this another time with a longer lens, or even just an extender tube. Not bad for 200mm.

Current Mood: lycanthropic

We have a room in someone elses name but they don't want to keep the room, so were looking for a place to stay with other furs to make it cheaper.

NO FUCKING WAY!!! :D :D :D :D :D



This has honestly made me laugh like an utter maniac!!! 2010 has got off to a GOOOOOOOD start!!!! :-D

Alice Cooper! Tony Iommi! Ronnie James Dio! Lemmy! Fucking hell!!! :D

Current Mood: crazy

Rock in the New Year!

Current Mood: cheerful
Current Music: Pay attention!

Wether celebrating or not, alone, with friends, with loved ones, with family or asleep already :P

Hope you have a happy new year, and all the best in 2010.

*swish*

Happy New Year everyone :)

I was planning on writing one of those all-but-obligatory end of year posts but my head is spinning. I've spent hours on a picture, taking special effort to put detail into faces and make them look more "realistic" only to find I have drawn the male much larger than the female. Sure I could do some serious rubbing-out ("erasing" to those from over the pond!) but I am very pleased with the faces and I spent over an hour on each and I am buggered if I am scrubbing my best facial work to date!

As much as I wanted to continue I had to stop. My back and neck are sore from hunching over my board and my hair is singed from the desk lamp. The lamp itself is hot enough to weld aluminium, by the way.

I will work on it again tomorrow. I've got to find a way of fitting the two characters together and I may actually take advantage of the fact that I am drawing anthropomorphic felines and can call on their incredible natural flexibility.

Anyway - 2009.

Generally okay. Mostly up and down without going from one extreme to another too much. Peaked with my USA trip which was fackin' brilliant but it's been a steady and near-constant decline since then.

Pink Floyd were right too. The older you get, the quicker time seems to pass. This year has flown!

I will be ushering the New Year at home. Call me unreasonable but there is a certain amount of bitterness attached to that last sentence.

Current Mood: drained

I'm off to some new years furry thing in Lasalle (Montreal) Quebec.

In other News:

My uncle here has been rushed to the hospital with pneumonia and kidney failure brought on by diabetes. He's been in the hospital since yesterday.

I'll be honest, I can't feel bad for the guy....I'm trying my best but the man is the biggest jerk I know. He treats people like garbage and many times I have had to hold back from punching him out since I moved here. He has done nothing but make life hard and stressfully for me and the rest of me family. He's in our family by marriage. The guy is the biggest fucking loser dickhead I know.

I wonder if this makes me a bad person, not feeling sorry for a sick person. He's just such a jerk, it's so hard to. He's been trying so hard to convince my aunt to kick me and my mother out of the house. He wrecked Christmas by starting fights with everyone for no reason.

I don't know guys. I really did try and feel bad for him but he's such an asshole. Some of the Family is praying that he dies so they don't have to see his face again. I know that's wrong and I wouldn't join them on that....but still I can't feel bad for him.

I'm trying my best to find something about him to care about but I keep coming up empty.


Anyways, New Years resolution: I'm going to work hard at finding a way to go and be with my Bearz (In Australia or anywhere) for good. And then he will getz kisses all over from me. ^^

Current Mood: peaceful
