My First Real Oil Painting

November 28th 2004, 4:21pm

It's not quite finished yet, but here's a photo of my first real oil painting. I've done a few abstract things just to see how oil paint works before, but this is the first actual picture I've done in oils. I still need to add a few details and correct a few bits, but it's pretty close to finished now. It's taken about a fortnight so far - although that's only two painting sessions, the rest of the time was just waiting for it to dry enough to put more paint on.

(It's only twenty-nine days until I see Nomi. Just four weeks. One month. Can't wait to see her again!)

This Is Nomi

As so many people have wanted to see a picture of Nomi, here she is looking lovely, as usual. (I still can't quite believe I have such an awesome girlfriend.)

Canada 76 - Estonia 73

November 18th 2004, 1:20pm

For the first time, Canada has overtaken Estonia in the the statistics for this website. Perhaps I should start writing some interesting stuff here for you people to read.

Nah, can't be bothered.

Peacefire

November 6th 2004, 1:13pm

Yesterday I went to an event called Peacefire, which was a firework party with lots of live music going on. Including One Nation, the band my housemate Shay is in. And they were very good.

I took just under two hundred photos while I was there, although only a few of them were any good, as most of them were too shaky because of it being dark.

Some of the fireworks went off at strange angles - one of them burst just above my head. But here's a picture of a firework going in the right direction.

I was trying to choose just two or three pictures to post here, but I ended up with these four and couldn't narrow it down any further, so I've posted all four for your viewing pleasure.

I'm going to Canada

November 5th 2004, 9:43am

I just booked my tickets to Canada yesterday. That means I'll have been to thirteen countries this year. Which, in order, are: Scotland, England, Ireland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Kenya, Uganda, Wales, USA, Canada. Although the USA is only to change planes, so I shouldn't really count it.

Ok, that beats my 6 - England, Scotland, Wales, Thailand, Laos and USA (twice). Perhaps I will get the ferry to France next week as well to make it 7, and then a cheap flight to spain, and a quick visit to Mongolia...

Cloud Nine

November 3rd 2004, 11:01pm

Ok, I'll come clean. The reason I'm on cloud nine is because Nomi and I are going out. At last! Yay! The most beautiful girl in the world? I think so.
