It’s strange.

I kept hearing all the stories from Supanova, all the friends from across Australia that I know all culminating on the one location in Melbourne, evidently it would of been great to catch up with Yug again as it’s been awhile. I mean even with Brad, Jamie, Jason being in Melbourne it’s still rare we catch up. However as I’m typically busy most weekends (who am i kidding, it’s more like every day) it never occurred to me that I should be attending. Only time I attend these things is when I end up exhibiting for some reason. That and CGBC is just overly fun to go to, and they all seem to love hearing the random stories from Woodz.

However something I did not anticipate the looming potential to bump into an old friend from primary school after eleven years. Granted I’ll give her the bonus points ’cause she actually remembered me when coming down to visit Melbourne. Will we end up catching up? Who knows, but kudos for not only remembering me after such a long time but also guessing what I’d most likely be at.

Have to coordinate for next year me thinks.

Anyway shout-out to her tumblr, can find it here http://thegreattribblehunt.tumblr.com/

[week 13] Kuler

Model : Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Shutter Speed : 1/25 second
Aperture : F/4.0
Focal Length : 105 mm
ISO Speed : 3200

Week 13 and it’s a week to remember, as it’s the week I built my new PC to replace the one I’ve had for 10 or so years.

It’s funny how the week I’ve really only been listening to one song, Cold Water by Damien Rice, I’d have so many issues with the new water-cooling for the new PC. The cold water swirling, relieving the heart of the machine of the heat that begets it.

Works well though, slightly noisy but nothing that magnets can’t fix.

[week 12] Riff

Model : Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Shutter Speed : 1/40 second
Aperture : F/1.2
Focal Length : 85 mm
ISO Speed : 3200

Week 12 was a full-on week. Out almost every single day, rarely getting a chance to sit down. However it was a good to get out and about. By the end of it all I was exhausted, I just wanted to sleep. It had been a bit of a roller-coaster. But I’m glad that at the end of it, in hindsight, I could appreciate everything that had happened.

I got to spend a lot of time with certain friends, more than usual, and it definitely made me realise how much I value those friendships, and how far I’m willing to go to see them continue.

[week 11] Why Hello

Model : Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Shutter Speed : 1/160 second
Aperture : F/4.0
Focal Length : 50 mm
ISO Speed : 100

Week 11 saw me out and about all over the place. I went with ~airetosE to the theatre for the first time in several years. I went with ~jasecc to watch my brother’s last Athletics Carnival in high-school.

And I went to visit the new workplace for the first time. We had our first photo shoot there, a chance to try out the new place and see how good it worked. The results were staggering, the client was quite pleased; we were giddy.

In between suit-changes we happened to catch the stuff wandering out for food, and so got everyone in to pose on set and get some snaps shot.

Here’s mine. While myself and the other Michael may strive to better each other with offices, he did beat me this round with purchasing a whole chesterfield suite. The chair that moulds the look of the higher-ups. Such class, my Think Geek t-shirt almost doesn’t do it justice.
