Kaff kaff, I think I have the black lung...

So, I've been pretty sick lately. I blame this accursed weather, personally. And the fact that I was sent out into the pouring rain to obtain Oreos by the women of my household. They outnumber me, feel my pain.

Recently, I obtained a box of books from friend Griffins house. They had been sitting there for about a year, and most of them were mine. Also, a few of them aren't, which means bonus reading material! This also came in handy while I was (am) sick. I managed to finish The Hippopotamus by Stephen Fry and The Swords Trilogy by Michael Moorcock.

Firstly, the book by Mr Fry is interesting. It concerns an aging poet and his investigations into mysterious miracles that seem to be occuring at a country house in Norfolk. I learned a few new swearwords from it >_<

Secondly, the book by Mr Moorcock took me a little while to decide upon. I have a soft spot for fantasy, but traditional High Fantasy can get a little tedious at times. The cover kind of sold it for me though.

The slack thing is that the cover has absolutely nothing to do with the books. Seriously, the main character is an elf-like creature called Corum Jhaelen Isrei and is about him being the last of his kind and seeking revenge on the man who slew his people. Along the way it gets seriously weird, with him losing an arm and an eye and then getting new ones (that were taken from ancient Old Gods) grafted onto him, so that he might battle the Gods of Chaos. Where was I? Oh yes, the cover has nothing to do with the books. I actually skimmed through it again, to find out if there was something I missed, or if there was a part where some almost naked lady was taken by Conans helmeted cousin. Also, I have been attending...wait for it...Rotaract meetings. I know right? Me? Community service? I haven't made a firm decision on whether or not to keep going to them yet though. Apparently I'm supposed to get this warm fuzzy feeling. The people are interesting though, and I'm always up for a bit of socialising.

A reason why I have been slightly hesitant is because I catch myself making bad jokes. Most of the time I manage to keep these to myself. For example, when we went to visit the old peoples home week before last, I played a game in my head where I was an old people inspector.

"Yes, this person is definitely old. I can tell from the wrinkles, and from seeing many old people before this."

More on this as it develops.

Of the Arcane persuasion

Don't look at his left shoulder, just don't =_=

Anyway, so Seedus is now Arcane spec. After being fire from pretty much level 10 (11?) and then frost for a little while because my account got hackzored and the hacker had respecced me. Arcane is slightly overpowered at the moment, so much so that my good friend Yzi paid for duel spec and then specced arcane twice. 

Also, i realize that that paragraph won't make much sense to a couple of the people who read this blog. Just look at the pretty picture :)

Reading the Summer of the Sisterhood at the moment, for some reason i've been reading a lot of girly books lately. First was Memoirs of a Geisha, which was awesome by the way (Hastumomo is such a bitch!) and then the Moth Diaries which is about a girl at boarding school. Who thinks one of her classmates is a vampire. Oh, and has slight lesbian tendencies. 

Jehoshaphat!

I have a cold. It sucks. no really, i thought i had beaten the recent bout of cold weather we've been having recently and like, not caught anything. i was sadly mistaken =_=

anyways! yesterday was...good. went to work ( one of two days down baby! yeah!) and drew a lotta stuff for the boss. a lotta unneccessary stuff i guess...it's her spawn's birthday coming up, so she asked me to draw a picture for him and his mates. this is what i came up with:
now come on, that's pretty awesome. she didn't like it though, so i did a few more options.

i felt a bit bleh that she didn't like it, but if there's one thing i've learned from working in advertising it's not to get too attached to options you've created for clients. poor megachow...you hadn't even begun to live.

i have finished reading The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov, and i have to say a big thankyou to Lawrence to giving me the novel. Detectives and robots are an awesome combination, and Elijah Baley ( Jehoshaphat!) is the coolest earthman plainclothesman ever. i've read the book after the Naked Sun, which is called The Robots of Dawn, but while reading dawn i thought it was a stand alone novel. Now it looks like i have to find a copy of the Caves of Steel >_<

also! using the wings from the option i made above i made an awesome wallpaper!
