Here we go then… Read the rest of this entry »

The room is now 95% complete. Just needs some shelves and a picture hanging up.

I’m pretty sure none of you are interested so I’m not going to take any photos but if you are one of the random few that are curious then poke me on MSN and i’ll get the webcam going.

At the weekend the brother came back and took more items with him. We painted the brown wall white and then bright pink. Oh yesssssss. BRIGHT PINK. Two more walls to go (but only small ones) but will have to wait for more things to leave first. Hopefully we’ll be moving everything (the big things) up this coming weekend, when I have some muscle to help me out.

I picked up my mother’s chest infection. I guess that’s what you get when someone accidentally drinks your tea and doesn’t tell you, leaving you to continue drinking from it even though said person is riddled with germs that I easily pick up with my crappy immune system.

I’m getting an injection tomorrow night and I can’t tell you how much I’m thrilled about it. I’m not telling you what for though… *glares* I am frustrated that my cousin moved his Tattoo Studio further away, though. Means I have longer to travel to reach home before I pass out from any further tattoos.

I also got this neat painting through the post this morning that I won on eBay. Pink/purple canvas with a huge white SPACE INVADER on it. The only problem now is that, thanks to Royal Mail, there’s a rip in the canvas near the middle… so it’s pretty obvious it’s there. I can’t get a replacement since it’s a one-off, so I’m hoping we can fix it Blue Peter style with some sticky-back plastic and pvc glue. If anyone has repaired holes in canvas’ before, let me know…

We got some points on our Wii at the weekend which means, you guessed it, shopping! Bought the classics Golden Axe and Toejam and Earl both from the Mega Drive. How awesome are those games? Been playing them with Garr at the weekend and we got our arses handed to us playing on Toejam and Earl. Glad to see some other classics listed on there too like the Sonic games, Street Fighter 2, Ecco the Dolphin(!?), Altered Beast (Wise fwom your gwave!) and some of the Super Mario ones too. Going to have to keep an eye on the list to see what else they add to it.

Also, can’t believe how close I am to finishing Garr’s obnoxious (yes it’s obnoxious now) calendar! I finished drawing October last night and did a FFXI screenshot for November with Garr last night and then another one this morning for December. Just inking a few pictures now and then all I need to do is scan them in and do whatever altering bits need altering. Can’t say I love all of the months though, you can definitely tell I rushed September and October and had no clue what to do for July, heh. Loving August and November though. I’ll show off the months once I’ve preened them all and got the calendar ordered.

Also also, my brother finally semi-officially moved out yesterday which means I will hopefully be able to move into his attic bedroom soon. Just got to wait for him to collect the last few (read tons) of stuff he has left in there and I can paint over his brown walls with some white emulsion. Thinking of going for white walls with some painted bright pink (why not!?) but got to keep the cream/brown carpet since it’s not that old. Oh well, better than my mix of a room I live in now. I’ll post pictures of its progress :p
