vermin

Well I said I'd do another blog soon so here it is!

I'd just like to say thanks for all the great feedback on the photograph I posted, Leo's photography skills are coming on in leaps and bounds and I have everything ready to shoot a set, except a location. Locations really are a bitch. I refuse to resort to the Bed, Bath and Beyond option - I want somewhere interesting.

So if you came for the boobs here's another picture we took in the Travelodge

Combichrist were, as I may have already said, EPIC AS FUCK. They really are fantastic live. Nothing beats good showmanship and Andy LaPlegua really put on a performance. Joe "Robo-Arms" Letz was on drums and at one point stole a girl's giant glowsticks and started playing the drums with those instead of sticks, doing awesome tricks and shit.

Me and Leo just about to go out -


A video someone who was probably pretty close to me took....dreadful sound but atmosphere is win ^_^


Leo also took this picture of me on the train on the way there and I love it, I think it looks like a paparazzi shot or something. I HAZ A FAMUS.

I do also have some sad news.

My girl Widget, who some of you may remember from my Vermin's Vermin video a while ago, is living out her last days. She's currently lying in a makeshift hospital bed, her back legs almost totally useless, most of her body weight gone. The vet has given her a course of antibiotics and the last couple of days have been intensive nursing - syringing water into her mouth, mashing her food, washing her every day as she can no longer groom. I don't know what happened to her. She was always my strongest rat. But my best efforts are having no effect so I'm going to have to accept that this is her time. Vet again on Saturday. I'm just spending as much time as I can with her and keeping her comfortable.

I will always remember her as the baby who never wanted to leave her mummy's boobies...


..and as the big fat lovable squish who loved my SG hoodie more than I do.

I didn't mention I have a job, either. finally have a job. I'm fighting for more hours even though the work isn't much fun. I'm working in a cocktail bar, which should be great, except I'm rapidly realising that I'm one of two people working there who actually gives a fuck about the quality of the drinks we're selling people. Everyone else seems to look at it as a big skive. Something I hate more than anything else about this city is the "fuck it, it'll do, who gives a shit" attitude of most people. And what fucks me off even more is that I make an effort and get shouted at all the fucking time, and the people who doss around and don't do anything get praised.

But it's money. And right now that's all I care about. I'm working hard on revamping my portfolio as I'm still self-employed as well, and I really need more clients. Everyone is out to rip you off - I recently made a Flash game for someone, received my 50% down payment and have not heard anything from him since delivering the work in spite of numerous emails and invoices. So I won't get my other half. Fuckhead cunt.

I have, however, recently secured an animation contract for over a grand. All officially secured through a freelance site. I have to pay fees but I'm guaranteed my money so fuck it, it's all gravy.

So...that was a decent update, I feel. Life is very much moving forward. Who you choose to keep in your life is more important than I ever realised before.

Here's to change
