you tell people that you're going offline to sleep, and then you end up finishing off a picture you were drawing for someone else?

*ahem* sleep now, i promise!
haven't been posting a lot recently.. but there's not been that much i can talk about on here. certain people are making me very happy, i'm working on uni stuff a lot, hanging out with my flatmates, going out and generally doing things that don't lend themselves to a daily journal.
call me boring, i don't care, i'm having a good time.
sort of news update thingy to tell you a little about what i've really been doing in little bullet points!
· went to terry pratchett signing, he was ill and didn't turn up.
· went out last night with marcus and holly, two of my flatmates, and holly's cousin. holly and her cousin got very drunk. much fun was had watching them dance.
· sent my entire mp3 collection (about 1300 songs at the moment) to marcus over the building's cable internet at about 1000 kbps. it was great.
· i started another version of a drawing i'm doing for a friend. i really need to get drawing again.
· i watched bill and ted's excellent adventure with lainey the other day. too good.
okay, that's all you're getting. you don't have to go to your own websites, but you can't stay here.
well, i suppose you could. but you know.
awesome artists over at deviant art do pictures of me in the last couple of days. that's three now. i feel super great. click the pictures below to go check out the work at the site, and then you can take a look at their galleries. go have a look at mine too, while you're there :)
what have i been up to? my radio show1 has been running for a month now, i've been not drawing much2 which lead to me forgetting how to do it properly, talking with friends late at night3 which has lead to me feeling sleepy but awesome, and i went to watch kill bill.
kill bill. not quite what i thought a tarantino movie would be, but an amazing action movie. i have to see it again, and i have to see volume two.
1 which has it's last show for this broadcast tomorrow at 6:15, don't miss it!
2 which i regret
3 which i do not regret
my parents' house again for the weekend, and it's not too bad. i bought watchmen yesterday, and after one chapter i know i am going to love it. it's SO GOOD. i owe apologies to ppint and cookie for not giving in to their suggestions i checked out alan moore's work before. i'm going to read some more of it tonight.
i'm going to borrow the camcorder from home, because my flatmates and i have decided (probably unwisely) to re-create the milk challenge from jackass. we're going to drink 8 pints of milk in an hour. we hope. i don't think much of it will stay drunk though. yeah, i know you might be wondering why i'm doing this, but hey. i don't smoke, i don't do drugs, i don't drink til i fall over, i need to do something student-like!
also, i downloaded the theme to minder. so good.
i should write an update, huh? okay. here goes. well, the last few days have been pretty good, to be honest. i've had an extra radio show last monday, which was fun, i had my usual 2 hour show last night, and i have another 45 minute show tomorrow! thats's 3 and 3/h hours of mike, broadcasting music, inane banter and all sorts over the internet. hurrah! i like being on the radio, it's a shame they don't broadcast all year round.
i watched reservoir dogs last night, and true romance the night before that. my flatmates and i are going through all the tarantino movies in anticipation of kill bill. i can't wait. it should be so awesome. i've talked to doug about it, but he's the sort of person that says something along the lines of "this movie is the best thing you will ever see, and that's ABSOLUTE FACT", and i hate it when people tell me what i'm supposed to think about a movie before i see it. i'll probably love it when i go see it, but i want the option not to, you know?
i'm in a class right now. some of them are really good and i have no problem with them, but this one is a little tougher because i have no one to talk about it with in this class. so i'm going to go listen.
i bought myself a paid livejournal account because i wanted lots of icons, text messages to be sent to my phone, and to edit how the site looks a lot more. it's a two month subscriptio, so if i don't see the use in it then i'm not committed. i'm thinking about actually using it for more random stuff, but i don't know.
randomness; i found an archive of my old site, sugar rush! crazy.
an update when it's not 3:38 AM.
have updated this thing more, shouldn't i? i've been having a.. complicated time.
i've got my radio show with adam back again! hurrah! fuse fm is broadcasting over the internet again this month, and we have a show on wednesdays from 4-6pm and thursdays 6:15-7pm BST1! it's so much fun. i get to play awesome records and make stupid voices pretending to be someone called reg. buffy has listened to it, and she thinks it's great, so you should too!
today i went to see university challenge2 being filmed, because my friend rosemary was on one of the teams! it was the quarter final too. she's so smart. i can't tell you who won, but i'm going back tomorrow to watch the semi final, and hopefully the final too, so i think you can guess who came out on top.
when i got out of the studio though, my flatmates (the supposedly good ones) had gone out to a house party without me. this is another sucky thing that they've done to me. ugh. i feel crappy a lot. luckily, i have people around online to cheer me up. and make stuff complicated. but mostly cheer me up :)
if anyone has any requests for drawings, let me know now. i'm going to draw. and draw and hopefully draw again.
1! that's weds 3-5pm, thurs 5:15-6 GMT for all you foreign types. work it out.
2 that's college bowl to any americans out there
i love cliff so much.
Cliff: Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
