Uuuggh...

Woke up this morning with a cough, started the afternoon class with Rina Franz feeling like "Oh I hate this... I wanna go home..." Yes, that's right, I've gotten a bit sick and it's not cool. At the moment there is nothing like Refio and Shimotsuki Haruka and blogging to lift the spirits despite clutching on a ball of tissue for my nose with one of the two nostrils leaking like a freaking tap, rarely stopping. Before blogging what is currently happening, I reluctantly downed a long mug of Lemsip (what gruesome stuff; kinda like a placebo for me, though) and a bowl of honey (sweet and good for the throat) to go with it which removes the paracetamol aftertaste of said placebo-drug. I hope this fluey state has nothing to do with my "time-of-month" coming 'round the corner. I think I'll have more honey before hitting the sack...

Drain You/The Scentless Apprentice

I haven't being posting lately courtesy of Tafe... The workload and plus the work for RR can get to me majorly sometimes that it isn't funny. I've submitted three assignments so far, which is not bad at all, LOL. I managed to leave early after the last class after enduring more torture in the form of another PowerPoint presentation, eep! Rory proves to us that he can outshine everyone in this assignment (which doesn't include me because my presentation is at week 12, go me!) with his, ah, professionalism :P I was proud of Bethany who gave a shot at it because of her nervousness (poor girl...). Aaron, who was complaining as the usual, came up late during first class; dear God... I wasn't comfortable with the guy to tell the truth because he complains a lot about his work and points all his mistakes at the so-called evil city of Perth. If he's so uncomfortable being in such a good city as Perth, why doesn't he go back to Geraldton, where he will always be the big fish? This is a strange conundrum indeed. On other things, it seems that I should be more observant to my surroundings; not a day does by where I almost get run over by a car or I almost bust the door of mum's car by opening it (so I could get out) whilst a car goes into parking, damn it!

The Curving Problem and the Promotion of Heller

After being away from last Monday's classes due to Labor Day, we go back to the somewhat frustrating class that is Typography and the slow, excruciating torture that is Research. Typography class was almost the same to my prediction, except that we get to do lower case letters instead of the usual uppercase letters and use the same French curves and the same artliner pen (the 0.2 to 0.5 ones). The lecturer from the class figured a way to get over my problem of "jagged" curves by using a klatch pen (it looks like an ordinary mechanical pen to me) which I got for free because it was just lying around, with no one claiming it to be theirs whatsoever and also by using an "overlapping" technique which is quite useful :P In the Research class, we have to endure torture and boredom in the form of another presentation, this time to do with Art Nouveau. The problem with all the examples were that they were all similar types of posters, which is very dreary to look at after a while; I'd prefer something that changes overtime than something that doesn't change at all and looks the same. I noticed that the lecturer for this class kept going on about the books done by a guy with the last name of Heller because they're the good books to get for another research project that supposedly started last Monday but didn't due to Labor Day getting in the way. He even told us the prices for these books which is in the $100 dollar range or a bit above, which is insane. He says it has to do with the quality of the paper, because its of high quality stock and very well done photos. We had to endure sixty of the same type of artwork! *snores* *falls asleep*

Relief Troubles, Right Here...

During Tafe we had a relief :P He showed us a PowerPoint presentation on different types of graphic design work and bits of art history and then showed us a DVD on special effects used in TV and I made more friends today too and struk up conversations with random people (Christine claimed that I tried to chat up the random guy I met) about random subjects that came into our heads. The relief in class thought we were all doing Diploma subjects instead of Certificate IV because of having the wrong roll-call. We all had a relief (which turned out to be our lecturer for Friday's last class) for the second class, and it turns out that we have to submit our work in a folio; which Kevin Mack (the real lecturer for both classes) said nothing of and that we have to do another entirely different theme for our next assignment, which pisses me off! I wonder what's with all our lecturers feeling sick all of a sudden? Rina Franz last week and now Kevin Mack, our class will fall behind thanks to them :(

Poetry Whammy

I've decided to write more poems for my writing materials blog, Fragments.of.a.Symphony.Written because I haven't posted for quite a while and the readers there, notably the people of Arcane are getting a bit worried; don't worry guys, I'm still alive in the blogging department :) On a better note, I've finished with Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader (any fan of Lord Vader or the Sith in general should read this, or something must be wrong with you) by James Luceno and started reading the library loan copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S Thompson (absolutely hilarious!) straight after. Back to Tafe tomorrow for the rest of us, though.

ReBootCamp?!

It turns out that the actual store manager at my workplace is not going away for another week or so somewhere and is staying with the rest of the team permanently, which is good, but also a little frightening, here's why; he knows that I've been through the most of my training and that he expects the best of me in showing him how much I've learned in the past couple of months; he makes himself sound like a commander or leader in an army company or something. He has lost the System Of A Down leftover bandmember look and made me do drive through (which is a pain at times) for the rest of the day! Gyaaah!! I felt like a first-day-at-workplace-person all over again, which is not cool. By then we had two managers and the both of them went for a meeting and left the restaurant in our "capable" hands; it turns out minutes later that we receive a complaint from a customer who in turn turns out to be a former worker :/ According to the manager who last came in, thee are four crap people on their team (names not mentioned for possibly good reasons), I just hope that one of them isn't me!

Is That A Mormon? No, It's Professor Doom!

I accidentally caught with no other than Adam Slender this afternoon during my way to the train station from Tafe whilst waiting for the train to come like any other person. At first I looked at him because from where I was at, I couldn't see much of his face, but still, something about him rung a distant bell in my head; until he turned around and had that look on his face, the very suspiciously happy look on his face. The reason why he didn't look familiar until I saw hi was because of the beard, which made Slender look like a vampiric Mormon, which gave him an idea for his PROSHS deliveries in the future thanks to my, uh, timely intervention. According to him, Fagin and his company are going to travel to Europe and parts of Asia before heading back to go to university after their "planned holiday idea" which costed over a thousand, plus spending money. Adam explained about his campus and how it had more levels in the library (that included the computer rooms if I remembered correctly) and that Rowland (better known as Mullet) is living on the universities' campus. We explained to one another about what we were doing at the moment (which Tafe and university course, etc) and who else from my high school that I've bumped into and talked to as well during the past months or so. I was hoping to get his e-mail so that we could stay in touch, but his e-mail is with Yahoo! So no luck there about staying in touch I'm afraid, I'll just hope we'll run into each other soon. I still can't get over the Mormon-beard that he has grown rather patiently, like a Bonsai tree.

Now that I've seen your profile, I get what you mean (because it's about me supporting your wonderful comic). At first I was thinking, wha...?
