Today I got paid to shop. How awesome is that? And the best part: the government pays for whatever I buy. I love my job.
Lately I haven't been getting nearly enough writing done and I think it's beginning to show. What I need is time to just sit down at my computer, no distractions, and just write... and that will never, ever, ever, ever,...

Primeval = new favourite tv show.
It's not technically new as it'll be starting it's fourth season next year, but it's new to me and it's freaking awesome. Tears in space and time causing anomalies to appear and dinosaurs to come and say hello is awesome. And Andrew Lee Potts and James Murray aren't bad either.

Wohoo glad your Internet drought is over. 
Amanda. Fucking. Palmer.
Now, i could leave it at that cause it pretty much sums everything up, but for those of you who aren't telepathic, I'll explain.
Amanda Palmer (lead singer of the Dresden Dolls nad now a solo artist) came to New Zealand and played in my town last night. My friend was opening and I was secretly hoping that Amanda's fiance (my own...

Speaking of Gaiman, have u ever seen Mirror Mask?
tempesta:
Hell yes I have seen Mirror Mask. I was sitting there freaking out cause it was so amazing, what with it being like a moving Dave Mckean art piece put together with a Neil Gaiman story.
Day one of a giant psychic fair was today. It was pretty awesome actually.
My mother is an astrologer so we tend to frequent these things, with her giving readings and myself wandering around spending money or working one of the shop stalls. So in the morning I wandered around buying presents for people, and then I spent the afternoon sitting behind the stall making...

Good luck without the internet. Stay strong.
Today was cafe day.
Every friday, I spend all day in the best cafe in town writing one of my books. I do this for several reasons. The coffee and food is really good, the people there are fantastic, and it's good to have a day I dedicate entirely to writing, otherwise I'd never get anything done.
Of course, I took a small break from...

Being in a good environment with the right vibe is so influential towards creativity. Sounds like you found just that! How is the book coming along?
P.S. Ayaiaiaiaiai! (or something like that)

It's... coming... it's all planned out, and the prologue is mostly done, as is most of the first chapter. In draft form. The plan is to finish it before I head to the states... I can totally do that lol.
I GOT MY HAIR CUT.
Finally, it's been waaay over due. And now I have a fringe. Yes, I will get pictures...probably tomorrow as right now I am rushing through this blog 'cause I have a friend over and am trying not to ignore her for the internet. So yes... and that's all I got today as nothing even slightly interesting happened at work today....

So. Much. Pain.
Today, mountain biking was a go. Now, having not been on a bike in three years, I was apprehensive, though excited. And the kids were pretty stoked. There were a couple who were slow, but one of the other leaders hung back to take care of them, and I was put in the middle to make sure the kids behaved while my...

Ha, that is so true, there has got to be a way to make bike riding more comfortable.
chowmowan:
haha, Rule #1, Cardio... even with the slow kids.
Another day another blog...
So, the previously planned mountain biking trip was cancelled, as another leader had scheduled us to do Waka Arma instead and, given the choice, the kids chose that.
What is Waka Arma you may be asking yourself? Allow me to explain.
Here in good ol' New Zealand, the native people are known as maori. The maori people were pretty kick ass...

Now that you mention I can't remember last time I was on a bike either. Wow probably 14 years now. Makes me wonder if you never really forget how to ride one.
tempesta:
Well, apparently you don't forget (I figured out it's been three years) but you do get very out of shape...
My first blog entry DUN DUN DUN!
Actually, it's not even remotely dramatic, as I have nothing interesting to say. Instead, I shall ramble about my day at work. Which, while the beginning of a full week, is not actually all that interesting.
First, I suppose I should probably explain what exactly my job is. As a Youth Worker, I work with at risk youth...

Keep the faith.. Have fun mountain biking..
chaoticnorse:
Sounds fun actually, wish i could find time to do stuff like that. Hope mountain biking is fun for you and the kids.
I never got much writing done until I burnt out on an overload of bad movies and websites. Getting rid of the Internet wasn't enough, I just found other ways to waste time (yay BadgerBadgerBadger!)
And yeah, there's always something to stop me from writing, no matter where I am. But I will find a way... or I'll go crazy. One of the two.
