some facts

this time one year ago i was arriving into new zealand, passing through immigration, getting a stamp on my passport. that stamp expires today. awh!

tomorrow i'm flying off for glastonbury for six days of chaos, queues, music, rain, mud, excellent food, sunny spells, acrobatics, bewildering sights, inspiring sights, smells and all the insanity and brilliance and emotion of europe's largest festival.

i called into cit today. i have a bit of work there when i get back from glasters. it should be a bit of fun - doing animation for a training application.

gosh. i just realized how long it's been since i posted last. i had a great end-of-week in dublin. it was emmett's girlfriend (claudia)'s birthday, and a group of us went out to balzac (which is incredibly fancy, but nice - good food).
and i showed lordkilljoy the basics of HDR photography.
we've been watching a lot of avatar: the last airbender. it's so good. we're up to season 2, and all the characters are being developed really well.

i watched stardust last night withpenelope_stone. it is a brilliant film. there was one scene and the two of us were smiling watching it; it's just such a romantic adventure. it's wonderful. actually, i got very little done yesterday - i played fallout for most of the day. i'm really enjoying it. the plot is getting nicely entwined, and now i want to find out how certain stuff came about and how everything will work out. i'm also getting very excited about fallout3, which is probably a bad thing. i need a job, so i can get a new pc!

yea... i was considering doing a masters in dublin. but i think i've missed the application enrty deadline. oh well. i'll just try desperately to start a career when the unemployment level is rising. hmm... see, i'm not even sure if i want to start a "career" or if i just want to get a job that will feed me and give me somewhere to live. i think i want a career in writing. in fact, i know this. but it's a lot of time with no income and that's not really so great, so in the meantime i'm considering starting a "career" in something else, which i will ditch when my book gets picked up by an editor (which could be years from now). i do feel a little bad about faking an honest career just for the money, but well.

yea. that's all i have to say today. i'll try to check in tomorrow and then it will be a post-glasters orgy of happiness and tiredness and stories from the festival.
