this house is made of fake and fail

So I’ve been busy working on stuff of late. Trying to find a job, clearing out my room, and redecorating it.
It’s safe to say I’ve been busy.
But While i’ve been doing that, I’ve also been doing something else, I’ve been busy drawing.
In fact me and my friend Jason have come up with a webcomic.
It’s not much to look at now, but as time goes on and as I learn how to work the damn thing it should look better.
I just hope that yous all like it.

It’s a webcomic about our time at St Andrews and all the crazyness that goes along with it.

Room Done

So my Room is now done.
Well for the most part done. It’s all new wallpaper and carpit, the only thing left to do is empty all the boxes of stuff that were packed up or were never unpacked. It will be a slow process, fallowing the mantra of my grandfather, “Everything in it’s place, and a place for everything”.

But other than that, the room looks good. I’m quite pleased with how it’s turned out.

While I’ve been in my room, I’ve not just been beavering away tiding all the time.
I have in fact taken the time to watch a few amount of stuff. Some stuff that’s relatively new and I was glad I found it. And some stuff that is not so new and I knew about it for a while, just never sat down and watched it. First off the bat is a show called Castle. A murder mystery drama show of the Police procedural genre. Yea, yea, I know. With the CSI’s of the world why do we need another one? Well. This ones not a CSI clone or knock-off, it’s about a detective trying to solve murders by tracking down witnesses and stuff, like the good old days of the genre, oh an she’s followed around by a writer.
… … Yup you read right. A writer! In fact he’s the main title character. And he’s played Nathan Fillion. What more could you want? Now I’m a massive firefly fan and just love watching Nathan in this. I fun the show a pure pleaser to watch. It good paced, witty, intelligent and just a interesting show. And I can’t wait till the make a second season of it.

The other Show I’ve been watching is an older show. About 10 years older in fact. And it was the inspiration for the title of my last post. Babylon 5. I must say the show is quite awesome. I was actually surprised by this. But that might because I’m now at an age where I can appreciate the themes of the show. When I first watched it many years ago, I did not enjoy it. I thought it weak and not very interesting. But now, I chock that up to being young. Now that I’m older I must say I love the show. I’d recommend it to anyone. But I’d especially recommend it to all the trek fans, like myself, out there that haven’t watched it, because they still hold on to a silly prejudice. I held my noise up at this show for far too long and I regret it.  And before anybody lashes out with the whole B5/DS9 rip off line, or some such please don’t. I’ve watched both. And they’re nothing alike.

 So what other shows should I watch?

The Tower of Babylon

I’ve been in my room a lot of late. Not because I’m locked in it, or have no where else to go, though that’s not a million miles away form the truth. It’s true that while back home, for that is where I am, I’ve not got anywhere to go. I don’t really have friends in the area anymore, mostly because they’ve either moved away or I’ve just lost contact with them. But the main reason why I’ve been in my room is nothing so emo.

For the last few days I’ve been trying my hardest to clean my room. I know, I know, I sound like a little kid.  But the truth of the matter is, since I went to uni my room has never really been properly tidied. You’d be surprise at the sheer amount of stuff that can appear and fill a room while you’re not living their. And so for the first time I’m actually tackling this.  But while it sounds simple enough, it is not. Ever tried to solve a four dimensional puzzle before? I’d recommend it if you haven’t. You see, to create one, what you need is a room of fixed mass, and enough content, of varying size shapes and densities, in that room to make in nigh on impossible to actually make your task of cleaning the room possible, and add in a limited time factor to get the job done.  The real part of the puzzle is that, you have to try and juggle the whole volume of the room, especially when it’s holding more stuff than it’s meant to.  You see my room has done what it should not of done. What no room should ever need to do. It has swallowed up my room form uni, well all of my stuff from uni. But not just that, over the course of my time away, it has swallowed up much more. There is a lot of stuff belonging to my two brothers, stuff I don’t know who it belongs to, and stuff that had been brought out of hiding or long though lost. And so, it is with this, I had to set about trying to clean my room. But you can’t clean something if you can’t clear a space to work in, and you can’t clear a space to work in if you don’t have any where to put the stuff that needs to move. It was a real pickle. At first. But with some creative thinking, and a lot of tooing-and-froing, I somehow managed it. So now on one side of my room I have a quite large tower of “sorted stuff”. The tower started off manageable but now it’s turned into some what of a monster. I’m frightened that if I move one thing form it, the whole thing will collapse, ruining all my ‘good’ work, and worst of all eat me in the ensuing ‘stuff-slide”. All my fears to one side, I can’t help but feel a little pleased with my self. I have almost completed, as my mother would often call it, “the imposable task” and long before the time limit too. Hopefully with it cleaned and cleared it can be decorated and ready in time. My room’s not be decorated in years, I wonder what colour it shall be.

what i had wanted.

I had wanted to do a movie review of DBE by now. But for some reason, and i can’t think why, it’s yet to make it’s way up to St Andrews yet. So that sucks.

Just a little thing i did

The sleeper in me never wins the fight.

So for some reason or another I’ve not been sleeping, well, not well at lest.

Staying up till stupid in the morning is not what most people would call wise. Not that many people would argue that I’m most people and none would say I’m wise. So I guess it could make senses, to some at lest.

But I dare say, I could probably have to do with the fact that I feel down. I mean real down. Maybe it’s because I don’t feel like I’m making any head way with my life. Maybe it’s because the mountain of work I have been doing doesn’t seem to be shrinking, and I just seem to be getting more of it, with lots of classes and stuff it’s might be getting to much. Maybe it’s a lot of stuff, maybe it isn’t.

And it’s just getting me down.  

“Getting” is kind of the wrong word. I’m all ready down, very down. With what seems like no end in sight.

 

It’s strange. My eyes feel heavy and limbs don’t move as smoothly as normal. It’s hard to concentrate and focus. My eyes keep wandering, and though I start something, a few moments later I’ve forgotten I have do so, let alone the reason for it.

These are all the standard things (I’ve even forgotten the words) that you’d get with lack of sleep, thought I feel them all the time. Even half way though the day, supposedly when I’m meant to be at my most awake.

Since about two this afternoon I’ve been so tired, and had a headache.

And it’s taken me an hour to write this. Ok, now I know I get distracted but that’s just taking the Mick.

Well I won’t bore you anymore than I have to.

 

I might write something later, if I have the time.
