Yay...got a free week of subscriber status. Muchly good this is, playing around with fun will be. Syntactical dyslexia great is!

Mood: Community Spirit Fairly Happy!
Listening to: Dué le Quartz: Dear...from xxx Disc 2
Reading: G. Wilson Knight: The Wheel of Fire...and Revision
Watching: Last was: Oldboy (6th time?).

As one'd imagine I'm happy with this...other things exist not to be happy about...mainly a series of exams I must undergo that draw all too near. The Leaving Cert. starts 7th of June 2006. For those of us about to die, we give you free A1s? Please...? I might actually consider murder (just a small one :D) so that I never have to do the Leaving Cert. again, again.
It's totally hateful!

On to happier things...
I can (once I get access to my Blogger account) now put scrolly stuff of dA up on my page - yay!
I also really enjoy the Dué le Quartz album I just got, that good is.
The Leaving Cert. is nearly behind me...again.
I've almost got 300 page views, and added dignity! Woo!
My art exams went pretty well, I think, I'll upload the timed drawing exams - not my best, but they were fairly good for the time given I feel...happyish with them anyway, which is good as I haven't been happy with my drawing for a long time. So do check the scraps section for them.

And yes, computer issues. Stupid elder brother, who is meant to be a feckin' genius when it comes to these machines, managed to do some serious damage with his impatience alone.
He was too pushy on the poor thing, the screen froze (a bit), and he CTRL-ALT-DEL'd - fair enough, there was a time when I'd do the same once a day, it's Windows OS'ing like - but I wouldn't then smack the reset button and "Harrumph".
I wouldn't do it on principle before then, and since then I know I wouldn't do it because of the high probability of hugely damaging OLEAUT32.dll - which cannot be replaced, repaired or disabled so that the two former could be attempted. It is an integral DLL and as such cannot be fixed, unless through possible Bart PE-ing (great program), but I'll need a friend's help there - otherwise it's a re-install.
*sigh* He's the last PC user (rarely) in this house I should lose trust in...

I am now Zen.
Hopefully.
I mean to now begin working. I'm going to avoid spending all my time playing FFXII, or anything else for that matter - we'll see quite exactly how that goes, and instead read for something more intellectual, or better again art in some form.
I shall be ordering my new 6500fd soon, along with far too much Japanese music again, so there should be interest and inspiration. I'm also meaning to art nouveau overdose myself, with other styles too, in an attempt to have aesthetic indigestion.
Basically I'm trying to force a sort of artistic evolution upon myself to become a kind of Yoshitaka Amano, hoping that the added beauty of stylism will compensate my complete and utter loss of talent.
*fingers are now crossed*

Thanks very much for the +watch! Much appreciated! I'm not of Lebanese origin myself but I thought I'd keep an eye on the group, I have spent a lot of time in Lebanon (mainly around Tyre and Beirut, but of course touring the country a bit (so I love to see the photography ye get up to)) so that gave me a kind of interest.

~Rakarth:iconRakarth: Nov 30, 2005, 9:40:08 AM
Yeah it all seems to be going well, relatively steadily, I have more or less run out of random drawings of mine so I better do some work this year! :D
Thanks for the welcome aswell, and I also took a look at some of your stuff, while not really up my alley I have to say I liked We Have Been Hurt and Frozen Stain...the fractal work was also quite good too! It was good to see some human rights feelings put into work...it really visibly makes it deeper.
~ajrchua:iconajrchua: Nov 30, 2005, 6:37:29 AM
thanks for the fav!!! ^_^

Yeah, I did really like your stuff...I might check more out when I have time, have to go mind my own cats now...must put up photos some time - they're lovely little guys (about half the size of me at that....)
~Rakarth:iconRakarth: Nov 30, 2005, 5:29:38 AM
Thank you for the warm welcome! Do check out my stuff, I took a look at yours, quite impressive...I loved "Opression". Slaughter might be nicer if I could fix the brightness button on this thing! :D
~Rakarth:iconRakarth: Nov 30, 2005, 5:22:00 AM
Keep up the work...ugh...I don't even wanna start >_<
Well I'll try...and you have some very promising stuff in your own gallery too....hmm....odd urge to attempt Chinesey-stuff, on top of all the other ideas buzzing about my head...well, with all this I'll probably do *something*
*BimaFatima:iconBimaFatima: Nov 30, 2005, 3:39:53 AM
Haha yes, newbies unite - nice one. :D
Well, if you like cats, then my gallery is something for you then since I take so many pictures of my cats. ;)
