Ok, so today in class I got my first taste of light wave. It's hideous, the creature creator for spore has more intuative controlls than this software, and only costs ten bucks. Still, this is the software I have to use, so I might as well get aquainted with it.

Today we made cutlery, I made a spoon, then a cup, and then a scorpion, I was supposed to make a fork, but I wanted to make a scorpion instead, so I did.

If you could leave notes for the future, what message would you have left in the past for today?

That'd be pointless, everyone in the future would allready know what has happened, so there wold be no point in leaving them notes.

Fallout 3 has been banned in Australia, it's not the first time our classification board has overstepped their bounds, but I sure as hell hope it will be their last. to facilitate my wish I went and complained to their website. If you live in Australia and are also fed up with their practices of assuming that media is only for children and banning content clearly intended for adults from adult audiences whilst at the same time promoting lazey parenting and ignorance, then you too should complain aswell here: http://www.classification.gov.au/special.html?n=1&p=227

This Is what I wrote to them, feel free to use it yourself.

I just heard that you guys banned fallout 3 for drug use. Such an act is both hypocritical and disgusting. 

Numerous games that are already available in Australia feature drug use that has "realistic visual representation of drugs and their delivery method" Including but not limited to; Fallout 1, Fallout 2, grand theft auto3 Max Payne, and Bioshok.

All of these games are readily available in Australia, and they should be, but the fact that they are available in Australia means that your pathetic excuse for banning fallout 3 is completely redundant.

But that is not the real issue. The real issue is that you still have not created an 18+ rating for video games. Statistics show that the majority of people who play video games are adults, and as and adult I have a right to choose what I do and do not watch and or play.

I DEMAND that you provide an adult rating for all media content and that you cease and desist all censorship of adult content that is clearly intended for adult audiences.

So I went to the newsagent recently and brought a whole bunch of deep red markers, they're delicious, as they don't have that  icky pink tinge so many other 'red' markers have and they allow me to practice my contradictive lighting style using traditional mediums rather than painting on the computer.

hope you enjoy.

So for this sketch I've used more black outlines, i've still elft areas where the shadows of the red defines itslf, but for the most part i've used black to define outlines even though i'm only using it as a midtone (for this style of art I'm using red as the darkest colour, rather than black.

Uni has started again, and with the uni comes the painting. So here is the latest update of my viking painting.

I just lived through my very own uni student cooking horror. I was very hungry, and out of stuff that rational people eat, I had half a packet of raveoli left over, but i was too lazey to trudge over to the communal kitchen building, so i tried microwaving it in my newly obtained microwave (thanks Matt). It worked sort of, it was cooked, cooked like it had been cooked by someone who was incredibly impatient and wanted to eat now rather than wait for it to be cooked properly, but still cooked (it was warm and there where no crunchy bits).

Now all it needed was a bit of sauce, can't have pasta without sauce (or cheese for that matter, but I was out of cheese). So I looked in the fridge for sauce, nothing. desperate for a little flavour, I then began rumaging through the cardboard box that serves as a pantry in my room, i eventually found a silver packet of peaking sauce that was left over form a chicken burritos kit, now I know that as a general rule you should not mix sweet with savoury, but I reasoned to myself "how bad could it be? It's just flavouring" well to answer my own question, it was BAD. really bad, It was so epicly vile that i actually bothered to rinse of the sauce off the pasta in hot water (most people would have just thrown it out, but I'm not a starving artist/uni student for nothing you know). Even after rinsing it off, the after taste still lingered, so after eating about half of it, I threw it out.

I now had a new problem, the taste was still lingering in my mouth, it was similar to the taste you get from eating too much cheap gelatinous candy. So I quested for something to wash out the taste, at first I had dim hope as i remembered that I had recently purchased a 6 pack of whiskey and coke, but no respite, i had allready drunk them all. But the taste was still there. It was time for desperate measures, I eyed the bottle of pizza sauce sitting on top of my fridge suspiciously, then closed my eyes and took a swig. It was warm, and tasted like stale pizza sauce, compared to the peaking sauce it was an improvement, but only a marginal one. I'm definatley gonna go grocery shopping tommorow. 

Well, technicly I wasn't dead to begin with, but I have been gone for a long while and so some of you might have been suspecting as such. anyway, what I'd been up to was incredible ammounts of holiday lazyness. Thats over for now, new semester at uni! And I'm feeling motivated, especially since I heard we're getting our own studio space and access to it 24 seven, think I might buy myself a swag and a pot stove and live there part time, like a weekday art hermit.

WHOA!
GOSH!
There goes that head rush again, the one where I wake up and my head  hovers over my news as my hair curtains the morbid look of my eyes.
I have twisted my head out of the trance, but now all I can see here is the papers on the carpet, the cotton on the carpet, oh, just the disgusting trash on the carpet.
I can't just lay there any more like I used to. The ceiling fan is only white, and there's no glass covering the bulb. It has no value, TRIFLE! but it's really not great to have my hair spread in mop motion all over my rug, I sit up a Falcon.

I might leave home here to the kitchen. Just to see what might keep me alive. What I might find as a pleasurable excuse to staying away from the air. Marinading in the putrid smell that seeps from the caves of my siblings bodies. Why haven't they bathed? Why do their teeth spell a name? The walls isolating, imprisoning all of this.

I am now a machine, a centaur, legs of chrome, hooves of rubber. I will discover my earth. My earth. It is mine, this time. The industrialtution may cloak your face, you berry of the universe tree, but I play a good game of hide and seek, and we can play together, when ever we please.
