Still no internets.



Feeling a little poor at the moment, money's slipping away fast and I've got a psytrance festival in portugal to save up for, as well as a new set of dreads and extensions from [link] that'll cost about £250 (but shit, it'll be well worth it, and cheaper than having a haircut every month in the long run) I've been living off the basics. Literally. My daily diet consists of really cheap veg from the market, pasta and tinned pulses. I made a bean casserole last night to last me a week (including lunches!) ALL my money seems to be geared towards saving up for stuff, or spending it on mates, or bills, or just not towards actually having money =/ Which is making me think about 'get money quick' schemes, but apart from my body, i have nothing to sell, and no time to make anything to sell, so it's all going a bit slow really.

Anyway, yeah, still no art at the moment. I'm pretty much too knackered when i get back from work, and I'm doing enough drawing/concept arting/texturing/modeling as it is here. I KNOW I have stuff to do for people, I feel shit that it's taking so long, but I really just don't get any time to sit down and do anything these days =/ Weekends are PRECIOUS, and even then, I don't get many to myself to sit down and just be arty for the sake of being arty.


Anyhoo, winge over, I've gotta get on with some horsing around work.

When I get the internets at home, I promise I'll go through my dev watch list ^_^;



Thanks for all the on-going support guys, I really do appretiate it :D (and in 6 months time, I'll be able to show you all the wonders I've been doing at work :) )

Yeah, a few years ago, but Dock didn't like the fact I wanted to concentrate on university for a few years, and didn't acknowledge e-mails I sent with my new e-mail adress after I got myself a web-stalker.

No problem :)

Your art has a genuine feel that I've not seen in ages.

I look forward to seeing more of it :)

maybe they'll come to Germany once in my lifetime. *hopes*

oh, I believe that! just the whole atmosphere...
after a good concert my mind is usually just blown straight out of my head and I'm a drooling mess that squeaks.

maybe if I organize a festival and beg them enough... :plotting:

fair ;)

I saw them once about 18 months ago at a festival called Glade (they weren't there this year :( ) and it was mind blowing :D

All the stages were in Circus tents, and I think Juno Reactor were in the biggest one (it felt like it at the time) It was so intense! Everyone there -fan or not- was stomping to the music, there were people all made up like amazons doing mad stunts on the stage, people with poi, UV lights, and because it had been so dry during the day, where people were stomping - a massive dust cloud filled the tent (but surprisingly it didn't feel dusty) It was one of those experiences where after that, nothing comes close to it :)

If you ever go see Juno Reactor, make sure it's at a festival, a concert just wouldn't have the right atmosphere - the place your in has to feel tribal :)

don't want to spam Bonhwa's journal too much. ;)

I have three albums. and Labyrinth is by far my favourite.
and I agree, it's just so different holding an album in your hands than just having a bunch of mp3s on your hard drive.

I never had the chance to see them live. must be an experience!

Yeah, there's two Cambridge studios and one in London (but that'll probably be a paperwork office) And If I get this, I'll be at the Cambridge one :D

Fingers crossed I get it :) I'll let you know if I get the job down there, I know no-one at all!
