I've got a lovely new mac laptop....saying that it is lovely and new might be a bit of an overstatement....only a tad though. Its as Power Book - (can you feel the power) - and is about 4 years old...but still the sexiest thing i've had sitting in my lap for a long time.

Anyway, thats a story for another day. Today i discovered Airbrushing - this shall be my new hobby - to entertain me for a least a few weeks! Pictures to follow. It is awesome fun - its like having a can of spray paint but with unlimited amounts of paint!!!

Thats about it....dont you love blogs

Been all together too busy to write anything here latly

However on the weekend i went to the Medieval fair in Castle Hill. Which was....interesting to say the least. The Jousting was awsome though, if i knew how to ride a horse i'm sure i would totally rock at it :D

So here are some pictures of it.

Hehe, double the fist and i dont feel like fixing it

Ok, so none of my last photos had explination, and apparently some of the thickies out there need it!! So from the top....1. Me at Plitvice Lakes, totally awsome place (possibly the best place on the trip)amazingly blue lakes and waterfalls. I have a lot of pretty pictures from this day. 2. Me being crushed by eastern Europe lonely planet, i do believe i was quite fed up with richard this day....as we had spent the previous night crammed in with 100 Albanians going to Italy. 3. Me in a doorway...i dont know when, i dont know where 4. Serifos, at the very top! It was windy as! Richard was trying to take a nice photo.....it didnt really work 5. Athens....so seriously cool graphiti.

Holiday!!!

2006-10-01T05:04:00.000-07:00

What going on with me

2006-08-10T01:09:00.000-07:00

So much to say, way too much effort.
At lots been going on of late and I think things might be finally about to settle down, before they get totally ripped open and stirred up again as i head overseas.....in 22 days.
It seems there has been a change in plans as to where we are going, originally my brother Richard and i were going to be in london, and fly to Prague but now the plan has changed and we are flying to Athens instead and meeting up with our friends Tom Mud Gordon Ben and Jo. This should be totally awsome since i studied Athens in year 10 history and was totally in love with it then. I'm resigned to not spending too much of my holiday sitting round and doing nothing. So not to much sitting on the beach somewhere in Greece, tourist me up to the xtreem!
I booked the car hire so that is now totally sorted to, when we get back from Europe we will have the car to drive round england and Wales for 11 days, should totally rock. I think i'm looking foward to that the most since thats where i shall get to see the most castles!!! Yeah Castles!

Worst ending ever!

2006-07-12T00:49:00.000-07:00

Spent 4 days playing Spartan Total Warrior, and beat it after great blood sweat and tear...well at least sweat. Haveing finally smashed Ares at the end....i got "and so the spartan knew who he was, and where he came from....la de da....The End"
Humph
I did find this web site very useful....

Anyway, that chapter of my life is closed, i dont think i ever need to play that game again.

Paintball

2006-06-17T22:51:00.000-07:00

Yeah!!!Paintball!!
What an epic, 3 months ago i did paintball at Windsor and since then i've been wanting to do it for months. It took ages getting people orgainised and from now on i would never attempt to organise a group to do something....People suck! Out of a booking for 10...2 didnt show up! Honestly people how hard is it to say, yes i want to go, this day is good for me, here is my money, and then turn up!

Anyway, sucks to be them cause it was an awsome day they missed out on!

I got up at the crack of dawn, and went and picked up Deb and Nick then we drove up north! We went to the Paintball Place at Kulnara. I feared it would be all off road to get to the place, but it was a very easy drive and very nice roads the whole way. We waited round for the slow people to turn up and then we got all geared up. Us ladies got extra jackets, gloves, and chest guards, where as the blokes only got overalls....ha less hurty for me!

We played about 12 games, it was great cause we got to come back to life for the first 5mins of every game. Unlike where we played at Windsor where if you got shot you were off regardless of how far into the game it was.

It was pretty amazing Deb finished 200 rounds in the first 10 minutes and needed refills where as i played the first 6 games without needing any extra balls.

Awsome day...must do it again soon

How self indulgent

2006-05-31T01:47:00.000-07:00

I dont feel like working, i dont feel like doing anything really.

Breadcrumbs and battleships

2006-05-26T01:33:00.000-07:00

Oh joy. A Friday in front of the computer!

After a flat out week of writing crappy programs for people at work I finally have some time to myself again. How would a girl spend this time.....YEAH! Painting. For the first time in months I’m painting again. Suddenly I’ve realised that I really suck at painting. Back in my younger days, (14 or 15) I think I peaked at painting miniatures, at the time I was painting Warhammer and Necomunda miniatures for many mighty battles against brother and I had a bit of a rule that I couldn’t use one unless it was painted - a rule my brother never adhered to cause he "had goblins and there were so many of them". So now, it seems I suck. I paint it, then I highlight it with a dark colour then dry brush and it looks kinda crap. I've made a collage of some of my miniatures from years back and one now....I don’t like the new one. It kinda sucks.

Resolution to do more painting....and get good at it again

Several Months Later

I've been slack....I know. But really this whole thing is for my own benifit so why should it matter if i never update it.
It was originally meant to be a "how to" guide for building the model of the Serenity Firefly, but in all honesty if you dont have a picture in your mind of how to do it, then my random rambelings wont help.
Anyways....i've had other things on the go. My latest is this entirly insane diorama which was inspired by my friend Deb. Its this scene of Star Wars Battlefield characters (i'm the empire vs Debs Republic) and its basically the layout of our houses with some other random stuff chucked in. Its looking kinda cool though i havent worked on it in a few weeks.

i've also attached a picture of the Firefly when its finished....its a bit of a leap from when it was part done to this...

Getting bored but almost finished

2005-11-13T01:35:00.000-08:00

today i started to put clay on it for detail

2005-11-02T08:02:00.000-08:00

About 60cm long - looking kinda sexy

After much moping round the house and trying to decide on a new project to start Mark bullied me into making a model of the ship Serenity from the TV series Firefly. It basically started a the local art supply shop with two lager styrophome, some random bits of bulsa wood and lots of Des.

I basically created the basic shape from lots of cardboard and then covered it in paper and glue. Now I'm onto the more interesting part of covering it in clay and putting some detail onto it.

starting to take shape
