Today is a Yay Day!

Okay, looking at this image you wouldn't know it but today is a great day cause my Wacom Intuos3 tablet arrived and despite the Mom Bar induced hangover, I'm in a really decent mood.

Yesterday was ridiculous. Firstly I arrive at class and they still haven't installed theHalf-Life motor (or whatever it is) on the computers so basically we're sitting there twiddling our thumbs... and then Alessandra comes down and says that we'll have a make-up class for their idiocy yesterday today... and today was meant to be my one day off this week... anyhow... then we're forced to go to this seminar that plays like a badly written tourist brochure for Osaka Japan... and I'm thinking of standing up and starting to scream... but I don't.

Then when it's over, I get handed this invite to a dinner in a hotel near Centrale to celebrate the Japanese delegates/businesspeople/whatevertheyweres and after a drink or to at the bar on the corner we head off to this thing... Upon arrival we're greeted graciously by our translator and pointed in the direction of the food (which, by the way I never got to eat) and plonked down at a table with 6 Japanese people who just won't stop taking photos of us. It was weird, but nice somehow.

Back on MonteNero I caught up with Ashley and Vanessa, Barbie was there with his usual entourage and the guys from 3virA arrived late in the night. Nothing interesting happened except I got angry at a flowerman who refused to have a conversation with me cause I'm female and being female I OBVIOUSLY don't know anything. The good news is this time I was clever and got a tram home instead of waiting for taxis.

I'm just a little annoyed that i still don't know if I have class today and I'm also irritated with myself as today was my only opportunity this week to get down to GetFit (my gym) but I can't cause I think it's better if I'm back to sober-state neutral first (I might pull a muscle otherwise). I rekon I can try to get there tomorrow, but I have 6 hours of class first, so who knows how I'll be feeling.

Off I go now back to playing with the Wacom. Yay!

Bored but Excited

I went to Virtuality in Torino (Turin) yesterday, a conference on all things virtual, but I only went to a XSI workshop. Not saying that it wasn't useful. It was very useful to me. By the end of the day I was exhausted, and after playing around a bit with the things I learned for a while today I'm tired all over again!

So tired and bored and want to do something but I can't think of what and it's a grey cloudy day.

Anyways, the exciting news is that the thesis project is coming along quite well (but you can see the other blog if you're interested in that) and I started doing some work to get Gretel's old animation polished to have something completed finally. The image above is the set without materials, or Gretel, but I like the lighting.

Went for Korean for dinner last night. The menu lists about 20 things, but in the end ll the dishes were the same. And spicy. Mmm good.

New and Exciting?

Been back in Milan now for a few weeks and starting to settle in again.

I've been working on developng the story for the thesis project further and gathering resources etc. I even set up another blog to chart the progress of how that's going. Visit it HERE.

I still ahven't touched anything 3D as I've been shying away from the computer a bit. I figure there will eb time enough to get back into it, and that I'll be eating and drinking 3D in no time. Monday afternoon we've got the initiation meeting. It will be frustrating as usual, but I'm so tired of being on holidays.

What else? I'm becoming obsessed with the 40's and have been trying to work out how to get my hair to curl nicely. So far rag curls seem to be doing some nice waves, but I have to master pincurls as well. You see? Too much time on my hands.

In other news, went to the famous 'Wednsdays at Mom's' yesterday. It wasn't bad but only because Nat and Vale, Ashley, Vanessa and Martha were there too. I drank too much and have been paying for it all day. I barely got to the post office this morning to mail somthing someone bought on ebay.

Wow. Maybe I should only write when I have something to say.
