I haven’t posted here in forever and a day, and Roxy was right, I do need to update.  Soooo… here I am with a new theme and lots of new motivation (let’s hope it lasts).

Brief me update:  I’ve reached the epitome of nerdydom and taken a job at a video game store.  It gets boring working from home all the time and I was beginning to turn into an antisocial hermit.  I’ve been friends with some of the employees outside of work for a few years, so there are lots of laughs and it’s a great environment to work in.  I’m still slugging away with the site work, but I’ve branched off into a few more creative activities.  I’m now a pixel artist for a vomitingly cute website called Whuddle World and I’m beginning a new venture into polymer clay charms that I’ll be selling locally (already got some store space lined up!) and online, once I finish the website – Yummy Scrummy.

Why is it always the most annoying, ear-bleed inducing songs that seem to be constantly playing on the radio?  For the past two days, every time I’ve been in my car or in the shower with the radio on, That’s Not My Name by The Ting Tings has been playing.  The song is about as ridiculous as their band name.

As an alternative to removing the song from my head with a bullet or the nearest pickaxe, I’ve decided to dull my pain by inflicting it onto others via sharing the music video.  Enjoy!

Today, on a whim (like most of my major purchases are), I bought two bunnies.  I have one rabbit already (previously three, but two died mysteriously in the past month) and he’s been lonely for the past few weeks, so I decided to bring him home some bunny buddies.

While playing with the smallest of the two, who was the runt of the litter and just too tiny/cute to resist, it started browsing the interwebs.  I no longer have a mouse, I have a bunny.

After a bit of a browse, she started chatting to Sanjin.  Too bad he doesn’t speak rabbit.

Step 2: training them to code.

I have been so slack with my blogging lately, I apologise. In fact, I’ve been pretty slack with my online activity in general. I suppose in some ways, that’s a good thing? I feel a bit slack because I haven’t updated my sites in forever, there are forums I used to be a regular at that I haven’t visited in months, and I think there are more than a few people annoyed at me for dropping off the face of the e-planet.

I’ve taken on a real job (GASP!) at a clothing store for some extra cashola. Pretty funny story, really. I was in there as a customer, purchasing clothes, and they offered me a job. At first I wasn’t going to take it, because my e-job keeps me busy enough as it is, but the 40% employee discount soon changed my mind ;D I’m saving for a trip to Europe next year so every little bit counts! I’ve been doing some other random offline contract work as well, again for Europe trip savings.

In two days time I’m (finally) moving out of home (for the third time). University finished 6 months ago and it’s taken me this long to find a place I like. I really didn’t want an apartment because 1. I have pets and 2. I have a large family who will be visiting all the time because we’re relatively tight-knit. I found a house in a nice area, 3 bedrooms, and a sun room. I can’t wait to move in, I’m in the midst of packing at the moment; though I think I’m making more mess than progress.

I’ve already arranged for the phone line to be connected tomorrow, so it’ll be working when I move in the next day. I’ll be getting broadband set up once I’ve moved in and it will most likely take a week or two, so I’ll be offline for a while. I’m sure unpacking will keep me plenty busy, and it’ll give me a chance to work on my sites a bit without e-distractions. Speaking of which, I updated my Dracula’s Riddle blawg today with 10 more levels >_>

So long, interwebz! See you in a few weeks!
