well was gonna post this blog first thing, and it was going to be a short one,
but as usual I have been busy and its taken a while to get to do this, and I can see its not going to be that short
and now I need the loo brb (lol)
but now I have just had to sort out a customer, but am now done and loo'd ha ha ha!
(like im sure you want to know all this, but im in ramble mood I guess)
in fact, speaking of good moods and well slept
(was I who was?)
well I have a new mattress :-D
and its amazing to wonder how I have done without it!
its so much harder and better for my back,
and after getting a bit of an earlier night last night I feel so much more recharged!
could it be all this tiredness and everything has been caused by my old bed?
tell you what though, the springs were breaking through and drawing blood ever night,
so that better ;-)
xhtml css
well I finally bought a book on html, xhtml and css ( I may have mentioned this)
from what ive learnt so far main diff to xhtml is that it is very fussy about ending tags etc
so essentially the same as html, but a lot stricter so ww3 or whoever can really clamp down on bad and sloppy html
then using well coded xhtml and css web sites should look the same in most browsers
seems to be the idea anyway...
I've already learnt a lot of what can be done using these methods now, so hope to put some into practice.
but of course ill be new to this, so is kinda weird, and want to slip into old habits.
also not sure how I can recreate some of my old designs. but anyway, fun will be had!
taxi drivers
last night getting into taxi the taxi driver not only recognised me but also said
"this is a bit early for you isn't it?"
I get a taxi so often not only do they know who I am and where I live, but also my time table!
worrying :-)
its not so bad in the office today, but yesterday it was yellow lighting inside and very grey outside
can't be good for you at all.
just made it in this morning, the circle Hammersmith and metropolitan line all shut down after I made it to my stop!
just in time :-)
and finally in my random rambling of today's posts
green tea over ginseng.
not sure on this one, but basically been looking for alternatives to coffee.
I read that you shouldn't have more than 2 cups of tea or coffee in one day, and then after this switch to green tea
I have done this and it seems to work well.
however I have tried drinking some ginseng as well, and I'm not sure what it is about it but it doesn't really work for me.
as a stimulant it does, not as instant and coffee etc but it seems to work.
but then hours afterwards, maybe by the evening I feel very VERY tired and headachy etc etc
im not sure if this is the ginseng, or a coincidence, or maybe I personally have a reaction to it?
but anyway.
I also changed brands of ginseng so it might even have to do with that...
anyway, enough
laters
cool art site
tourniquet
yawn, should be working on comics, but seem tired.
anyway, wanted to blog a few things anyway, got xhtml and css book
so i can finally sit down and sort stuff out, and it seems very useful :-D
yawn, what else, oh yeah i wanted to expand on other posts..
teen Titians
Raven is my fav ;-)
star wars clone wars
(oh some good games there :-D i owned annakin ;-)
Cocteau Twins
Great band, weird but great.
They are the kind of band that Phil likes, through and through.
excellent bass lines, weird screaming echoy guitars, soft female voice (with lots of reverb)
and all in all moody stuff.
i have garlands and head over heals at the moment.
and LOVE "Wax and Wane" and "But I'm Not".
some of her vocal stuff reminds me indian singing.
well anyway, lots there, lots to learn from them
not sure what else to say :-)
Einaudi
Lovely piano :-)
not much else needs to be said
ok ok, i think i can just about do a comic now..
maybe ;-)
New Art
Well it's high about time
some
new art
Sky
Mee, this ones for you :-)
i still have to paint one, but this will have to do for now :-)
there is dark in clouds, but somehow hopeful, if you want to read anything into it
;-)
Inside
im sure you can read LOTS into this if you wanted
and youd probably be right...
let me know what you think it is ;-)

BIG update
ok, well here we go,
sorry its been a week (well over) since last update
well, I have been ill, so there!
not well at all, but feeling bit better now back in work
isn't it funny how somehow doing rubbish at work, actually makes the rest of your life more enjoyable
as in, take away the boring work, and you don't really enjoy what you would normally do for fun?
maybe, that's kinda what I've found lately
but mind you, a lot has been odd of late.
I think I also needed rest to just de stress...
I had a twitching eye and constant headache most of the first part of this week!
everything kinda seemed on top of me to be honest.
my dad, changes in church, changes in work, frustrations in other areas
arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhh!!!
well anyway, feeling bit better, although it is now the afternoon and this yellow lighting is doing my head in!
UG!
anyway, a few more quick updates...
teen Titians- new cartoon to toonami, apart from having smelly robin, who is actually ok in this toon,
this is very cool.
almost manga esq (like so many things these days) but I'm 'down wif dat'
and raven is just soooo cool.
love her negative effect spell stuff...very cool
star wars clone wars cartoon also started on toonami,
is cute but far too short, at 5 mins a ep.
the artwork reminds me of samurai jack..
hmmm I wonder...
just managed to 24 series 2 over the last week, intense stuff! (not in tents)
ermmm bit predictable in sense of, oh the worse possible thing is going to happen just to make things more edgy
anyway, very enjoyable, and there is certainly going to be a 3rd series :-)
new music cocteau twins and desert sessions and some classical guy...(whos name escapes me)
wow, my cd buying has half shot up :-/
mind you its all been good, and thinking about it, most were gifts :-)
I think ill give a good review of these later as time is running out!
websites, again quick update, working on various sites, and I think some will reach light of day soon
even if they are not finished product, as I want to get to grips with css and all that jazz
pictures,
some new art on way soon, perhaps this weekend :-)
and finally, some linkage:
strong bad

Games at work
Thursday, 6 November 2003
Well, its Thursday
week seems to be slogging on...
man I'm just so happy at work...not
lol
tubes really crowded this morning, very odd
and then I found out reason for this is 'person under train'
great way to start the day.
yawn, soooooo tired, at least in a bit earlier can perhaps leave a bit earlier tonight, would be good, got a fair few things to do.
off to see matrix tomorrow, does it suck, quite possibly if early reviews are to be believed
got busy weekend with 2nd celebrations of my church pastors leaving for oz,
very sad time.
but also lots of people will be around to see, including Emmanuel and Loren from France who I haven't seen for ages
must spend lots of time with them, but also know that I have a lot to do this weekend, and little time, and little energy :-(
the walls are closing in

Avp movie!
http://www.avp-movie.com/
well this film snuck up on me!
i guess i dont read enough movie news!
well at least not so long to wait for it to come out...
Only tuesday?!
another day, Tuesday now, so made it through one day! (being monday)
I'm so fed up of work at the moment its unbelievable..
im also tired and have a slight head ache which doesn't help.
I did get an earlier night, but woke at 4 in the morning to all manner of arcade and zombie filled dreams
so anyway, what is happening, as it looks anyway...
basically a person above me is fed up with dept and moving on to another,
fair enough, and good for her.
however it looks like they are trying to give all her responsibility on to me, without a new job title or more money.
ain't gonna happen.
in absence of anything else I guess I will move into it.
but to be honest I never really wanted this.
and right now this really isn't making things 'happy' for me
I guess ill give it a go anyway, in absence of anything else to do
