Been semi busy lately, mostly lurking on LJ, and generally holing up….can’t really give a reason why.

Gonna bullet point the last few months coz I really cant be bothered wall of texting everyone.

• Christmas failed
• Down to only working 3 days a week
• Bored on the other four days
• I’ve booked two Photography short courses. One in Feb and the other in March
• Looking for a second part-time job during the beginning of the week, probably at a cafe somewhere
• First photography job in the works
• planning a trip to Dubai in March for two weeks, still a maybe at this point
• Planning a trip back home to US in July/August, going for 4 weeks
• Saw Black Swan with some friends last week, loved it. Need to see it again before I understand anything though

That pretty much sums up the year so far. I know I’m being semi anti-social right now and I know I’m starting to lose motivation…can’t seem to get out of my own mind though.

Ok, so I randomly bought this series. Or atleast the first season of it a couple months ago when it was on sale at JB for 15$.

I only started watching it last week, and I'm hooked. This show is so complex, and has so many intricacies that make up the whole, it so hard to follow. I love it.

Everyone should watch this.

For once I agree with my ex-housemate about a movie. Inception was amazing, and that movie is gonna be the subject of many conversations for years to come.

I haven't had my mind blown by a movie is ages and it's nice to go to a movie and have it live up to everyone's reviews.

I would love to go see it again, and cannot wait till I can own it myself.

5 stars from me.

I love this song and CANNOT STOP playing it...I'm addicted to his voice...

The song itself is probably as generic in Pop as anything else coming out of the music scene right now, but dammit I love this song :(

I FINALLY got around to watching the two episodes of this show that have been released. I sincerely hope it lasts for awhile.

It mixes humour with crime and after the load of BAD crime series that are around right now, it's a refreshing show.

Considering it has 2 female leads, and some men as background characters also makes it awesome to watch.

I cannot wait for next weeks episode!!

I just got an email from dad informing me that my Aunt Anna had a massive stroke last week, and then didn't regain consciousness and died a few days later. Her funeral is on the 22nd. Her sister, my Aunt Bonnie, had a stroke as well a couple months ago and an MRI this week shows several blockages that are slowly depriving her brain of oxygen.

I want to drop everything and go back home now. My grandfather is also not doing so well, and is sleeping a lot and his dementia is also getting worse.

I don't know what to do, I don't know what is expected, but I do know I want to be THERE and not here.

Random post

After watching the first three eps of Persons Unknown with my housemate Matt, I realised I am in need of some serious crime shows. Reading endless fanfic is all fine and dandy but I'm running out of fandoms, and I read too fast >.>

I went and did a search a little while ago looking for a torrents for a crime show that last five seasons. Aptly titled the Division, it was virtually an all female cast and aired on cable. I STILL cant find a single episode of the show and have become increasingly frustrated by the lack of quality that's come out in recent years. Either I've become a complete snob in regards to what I watch or I just need to find some new hobbies...


In other news I've decided to cancel my membership to my boxing gym. I havent gone in 3 months now, and I'm getting just as much exercise - if not more - riding my bike all over the place 4 days a week. One of my new workmates is also a personal trainer and charges 30$ per session which is HALF what my boxing trainer was charging. So canceled that.

SOOO BORED someone entertain me >.>

You guys. I'm looking for someone with artistic talent (atleast more than me :P) To make a banner for my LJ. I dont mind the style right now, but I wouldnt mind a more personalised LJ. If you could use the same coloring and just toss me some ideas/pics/work. I would love you forever ^^

Weeeelll, it seems winter has arrived judging from the rather distinct chill in the air. I loved walking around this evening though.

I stayed in Langwarrin with Jen, watched Rebuild of Evangelion 2:0 You are [NOT] Alone (which was awesome BTW) and went to bed rather late or early however you want to look at it. Then promptly slept for almost 12 hours...I dont know how that happened. I cant believe I woke up at 1:30PM and didnt wake up any earlier >.> Needless to say I woke up with a headache and kept it for most of the day.

Got back home at roughly 5pm to hang and get ready for dinner. Went to MadMex on Chapel Street met up with Jarrod (my highschool friend) and his housemate and friend and I brought Matt with me. So we all sat had dinner and talked for a couple hours. When we started getting funny looks from the staff there we decided to walk a short block up and have coffee at Orange. Which was all nice and warm and just added to the atmosphere some more. Service there leaves ALOT to be desired but it IS small and they were busy.

After coffee we went our separate ways. I dont think I've laughed so much in so long. I cant wait to get together with them all again.

Right now I'm just sipping coffee and reading fanfic (big surprise XD) and just chillin. Tomorrow I dont have to be at work till 4PM so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I think I need to text my personal trainer and have a discussion with him about my boxing membership. With my work schedule I cant make ANY of the group sessions at the gym unless I get up at 5am just to make the 6:30AM sessions. Which isn't really an option considering the times I sleep. I might have to bite the bullet and cancel the membership altogether. I AM exercising though. I ride my bike 5 days a week to and from work, takes me 20 minutes and sometimes longer depending on what direction the wind is blowing, and also if it's raining or not. Still getting exercise, boxing just might not be in the horizon right now.

Anyways, life is good. And I'm glad things are great enough right now in my life that I just dont have any stress in my life. *touches wood* Better stay like this.

Something I thought everyone should read and maybe comment on? This whole thing has been fascinating to follow.
