Flashy bashes

Such a sad sight. Seeing Xabi like that. Hopefully he'll be up and running again as soon as possible. On the other hand, yay Torres for coming back with a bang. And also for Stevie for being unselfish for Torres' goal. Yep. Thank God Rafa understands now that FA isn't just a game for subs. It's the oldest knock out game in the world after all.

Watched all three of the Lord of the Rings movies today. Odd as it seems, it didn't even feel long. I started at 12PM and finished a little after 6. This being because I watched half of The Fellowship OTR last night. Extended Versions for the win. (Craig Parker for the win too.)

Put up Mum's curtains while watching so my day wasn't all unproductive. I might need to take a stab at drilling another 4 holes into the wall because it looks like the brackets are a little unstable :/ ... and that must be the most boring thing I've blogged about.

I feel like I should take more photos these days. And I don't mean like "come lets go walking around KL and I snap away" photos. Actual studio/models/sets/lights ... the whole combo kind of photos. I feel like I have done nothing benefitial to my course this whole holiday minus the whole editing of photos and your usual header/icon batches on LJ. But that's it. No reading, no sketching, painting ... anything art related. And it feels shitty.

I fear what lies ahead now. What will come this year (uni wise). I don't know what kind of assignments (duh) I'll get and what kind of lecturers will be assigned to us, who my classmates are, and how will the next semester will play out financially. I honestly cannot go through another one spending huge amounts of money on markers. Photographs are alright but probably not markers. I don't think Illustration again will do me any favours. Whinning on my part but it's the truth. I admit my weakness is indeed Life Drawing and Illustration. I was good at it years ago but now there is genuinely no more interest or even skill anymore.

Another odd (or maybe not so) thing I've been feeling lately is how much I miss living out. I am obviously very happy to be home again of course but I miss the idea of not having a curfew, not having to listen to instructions and nagging from parents, doing things on my own time and all that other stuff associated with freedom. I also miss meeting friends easily while living out. A simple text and a "I'll see you in 5 mins at your place." and it's all set. Now planning a simple dinner costs more money and energy to orchestrate. I don't mind it, but it gets tiring after a while. Plus living out meant that most places were bus and foot acessible for me. That saved me a lotta dough. Haha. I miss walking around Cyberia/Desaria (oh yes I said Desaria. Pre mental state that it's in now) by myself some breezy evenings. I think I miss that the most. I miss getting up in the middle of something and just saying to myself: I'm gonna take a walk. And just leave. I don't need to tell anyone what I want to do because I didn't need permission for stuff. I know some people can do that at home but not me. Every step outside the door requires me to ask a parental unit for approval. I miss meeting people from uni while on those walks too. Or even just meeting new people. I used to sit down by the poolside in Desa alone in the evenings with my MP3 player plugged in and just people watching and before you know it, someone sits next to you and just strikes up a conversation. In fact that is more or less how I met my ex housemates. I also miss just walking down to the pool in the evenings with friends to just enjoy a nice swim. Then after that we'd take a bus to the nearby shops (Street Mall haha) for dinner. Then just taking another bus around Cyberjaya for fun. A lot of things to miss isn't it?

Spoke to Messi last night. Not Lionel haha. And decided we should have a meet-up one day. I think that'd be a fun event. Especially if he brings Zarf along.

I learned today that a high amount of sulfur in one's body would lead to green blood. Thaaank you CSI. LOL.
