Musings of a madman

by | Jun 4, 2014

Ever have an epiphany? where you sit there and all of a sudden, a realisation hits you completely out of left field. A few days back, this happened to me and it's been weighing on my mind so here it is- off the chest and onto a screen for all to silently judge :P

Firstly, my interwebs got connected after The Long Wait. After three weeks of being out of the loop I found I'd missed out on nothing important and quite frankly, I didn't give a single f*** about any of it. Especially on the hobby side of things (with exceptions- see realms of interest for most of those exempt. I give plenty of f***s about those great chaps).

MOAR after da jump >.> god I feel like a sell-out by typing that :S



Secondly, upon moving in, I didn't realise how much plastic crack I'd accumulated over the years, so I'm seriously (and by seriously, I mean actually effing follow through on this) contemplating selling off a large portion of the plastic crack. The money gained could easily be put into music lessons (I wanna play piano or something) or an art class (been meaning to do that fer YEARS- I'm fairly decent at art, but not having done courses/practice, heh amateur level still). Or failing that, rent.

Moving onto other things I also kinda feel burned out on life at the moment. Combine uni, work, an LNP govt and the fact that life these days wants everyone to be another soulless gear in the Machine wears ya down a bit. Plus I got sick with some form of URTVD (that's Upper Respiratory Tract Viral Disease for you non-microbiologists ;D ) and that helped morale, heh not. 

I am truly looking forward to the rec leave coming up in a few days time as not only will there be peace and quiet for exam study, but a goddamned break to unwind. Last few months have been crazy with the moving out, work and study.

On the hobby side of things (apart from the aforementioned really-gonna-actually-sell-stuff), I'm assembling the stuff I'm ging to keep and possibly get round to priming en masse sometime soon. Just gotta get a tray to put things on so I don't make a mess cuz I'll never hear the end of it if I do. Then an airbrushing station or something.

The plan for the hobby stuff is to assemble everything so I reduce the number of boxes + can buy storage trays, then to prime everything so I don't need to spray stuff all that often. Hopefully will acquire a "digital copy" of 7th to have a gander at but apart from the ork codex and plastic special guard and sisters (if and/or when the latter two actually happen) I'm done with GW. Gonna move on to other things (like music, drawing stuff, maybe Malifaux- looks interesting and the local gamestore has a few players) or just paint. Since I can't really decide where I want to be in the next 5 years or so (kinda lost on what I want to do, where I want to be- all that jazz) I'm just going to do things that I know I've wanted to do.

as to the future,

Who knows? All I know is that some things gotta go, some things gotta get done, and I gotta get out more, maybe hit up some kinda dating thing cuz in all honesty, that's probs a better time sink than clipping and gluing. probs cheaper too :P


Ha,
