i knew i should

i knew i should have woken up earlier, but i snoozed and listened to newsradio and didn't get out of bed 'til 9.45 (for a test at 11 - with a half hour drive + park finding, half an hour of waking time). so i figure that i'll go to a later tute time for the test and actually print out the notes.
i saw a truck carrying live chickens on my way up to uni. hundreds of chickens with loose feathers floating over the top of the cars behind.

audiogalaxy works so well! i left the computer downloading overnight and i got heaps of stuff. the clash, yo la tengo, solex.

i should really have

i should really have spent this evening studying for the sdpm test, reading up for the exam. but no. i haven't done that.

i keep on wanting to go and look in op shops for stuff. yesterday i went to the salvation army family store on magill rd and found the god of small things by arundhati roy for $5.00, a cream embroidered short sleeve shirt ($5.00), an excellent glazed plant pot ($4.50) and a japanese picture on bamboo ($2).

shouldn't i be studying? - why do i always feel that blogging is more important?

hmmm. i had dinner with my grandfather rainer last night. the amount of tension he creates is amazing. i'm so glad that i only see him on the rare occasions when he comes over from thailand. speaking to him did kinda put me off visiting him when i eventually get to thailand.

i should really go to bed. but, i persist in looking at houses, downloading songs, thinking of cameras (a digital camera would be much more useful than a supersampler) getting a sore shoulder, working out what to make and buy people for christmas. looking at jolan's webpage.

i've found out that

i've found out that i only need two more subjects to get my B.A. hopefully i'll be able to use i.t subjects in it but still get credit for a graduate diploma in i.t.

:::...

i feel much better now that i've discovered this. i have to go and speak to someone at uni about it. i probably won't do the actual changing around of stuff until next year. it will give me time to think about things, work out what direction i'm going in. stuff like that.

a lot of this stuff will depend on how work with the abc goes. if they love what i do, then great, hopefully i'll be able to work there for ages. but then again, i might end up having different skills from the ones they require. if that happens then i'll:

but. if i got the straight arts degree i could go and get a graduate diploma in internet communication strategies. ( which i could upgrade to a masters degree if i wanted to) which would tie in well with abc stuff.
it's all beginning to make more sense.

i should really concentrate more on the two subjects i'm currently enrolled in.

i'm thinking about setting

i'm thinking about setting up a separate 'consume' blog. though on reflection i feel that would reduce the need for the actual blog. it seems that most of what i post is about wanting things and getting things.

i've been feeling kinda weird the last week or so. it's probably birthday related. at least i hope so. but i've been tired. and i've been having weird dreams.
i probably need to exercise, eat healthily, clean my room, study and get a life. that way i'll feel better.

buying things won't make me feel better. (though if they're cool, special, amazing things from op shops they will help a bit.)

in the past six months two of my friends' mother's partners have passed away.
i don't want to think about what would happen if the same happened to ed, my mother's partner.
so to those two friends. i'm so sorry that these things happened.

two posts within a

two posts within a week!

me canst believes it.

i'm finally making a serious attempt at this brief i was given by the abc. except i think i left the actual printed brief elsewhere (smart pip).
so, i'm trying to create a main page and an internal template page for a show about community theatre. not just the performance, but the process of working in a group, character development, costume design, infighting etc. the original brief called for a theatre metaphor, but the tv show is about everything that happens before the show even gets to the theatre.

so i'm thinking velvet. and i'm (slowly, slowly) scanning velvet. and i was also thinking pots of theatrical makeup, but i don't own any and i couldn't find any when i did a search on getty one.

so it looks like velvet. with photos of the cast. and some font. which i'll eventually change when we know what font the actual tv show will be using.

i can do it. i really can. i think that i might die of boredom in between though.

i've done none of my readings for digital information publishing. and i've got this filthy group assignment for software development. as well as work at the sleep lab.

at least i've done the dip assignments. i'll drop them off at uni this afternoon.

and tonight i have to go out for dinner for my brother's birthday. and go off and buy gt3 (the little poo threw tanties until he got a ps2).

and all i want is another rug. maybe prayer rug sized - for next to my bed. (last year - well this year after 9 months of waiting from my 21st - i got a big rug from mum and ed - so i'm just going to continue the tradition.)
