It’s been a while since my last update on anything really, except facebook. I haven’t been feeling very social at all which isn’t like me.

Life wise… not too much has happened which is nice. Uni has gone back, I am enjoying my subjects so far and really look forward to my Typography2 assignment: a Magazine. It will absorb a lot of my time but will be worth it. As usual, money is tight but one gets that when study doesn’t allow you to work. I tell people that you get used to not having money but some days it does get to me, especially when I want some new jeans and I have to budget in for a few months in order to have the money to get them.

In sad news I lost a family member to cancer. I will not be able to make the funeral but the family know I send my love.

Creatively I have done squat all over the past three months. I have been feeling down and haven’t had the urge to be arty. I am trying to bring my mood back up so fingers crossed, you might see me pump something creative like out soon.

Anyway, I am heading off to play Pharaoh for a few hours.

From January 25th to 29th, certain Australian websites will “blackout” in protest of the governments proposed internet censorship. This website will be one of those websites! I have also changed my Twitter and Facebook profiles to reflect my disgust that the Australian government is going ahead with this, proven to be useless, filter. And to think, I actually helped vote this out of touch government in. They may be doing some good things but when it comes to technology, they’re all dim-witted idiots. Well, mainly Conroy and Atkinson really.

I urge anyone with a Facebook profile, a Twitter profile or a personal website to join in the campaign next week by going to The Great Australian Internet Blackout website and do your part for this worthy cause. Imagine an internet where Google or Youtube or Wikipedia was banned. Steam and other digital download services removed from the face of the Australian internet! The only thing stopping our internet from being censored worse than the Chinese is us. We need to show this government that they are out of touch with the digital and technological world and stand up for our rights for once.

So, the day was a scorcher.  Would have been at least 38 degrees+ in the house when I arose around midday.  Thankfully an afternoon storm rolled though around 3pm and toned the temperature down at least 5 degrees which made things so much bearable.

Saw most of that “Inglorious Basterds” movie last night.  As long winded as it was, and slow, I thought it was very cleverly written.  Had a few cool twists which kept you thinking right to the end… I loved the ending.  I’d recommend it.  I loved Brad Pitt’s accent in it tho, the faake southern american, then when he had to pretend to be italian on top, it was hilarious.

My back pains.  I played WoW for the first time in ages this evening and I have sharp back pains from sitting in this chair for so long XD.  I am only up to level 13.  Thought I was higher tan that, how embarrassing…LOL
