While I’ve been busy, the internet seems to have been quiet. Well, except for Whinnie-the-Pooh still kicking arse and taking names. And wallets.

Japanese police have arrested a 20-year-old man who attacked and robbed two people after they stared at his Winnie-the-Pooh costume, officials have said.

Masayuki Ishikawa was hanging out on a Tokyo street corner after midnight last month while wearing the cuddly costume, accompanied by two friends dressed as a mouse and a panther, when he took offence at being stared at, police said.

Fairly plain and simple article which makes one go, “heh… odd”. Until I hit the last sentence…

Ishikawa and his friends beat up the two victims and stole US$160 from them, the spokesman said, adding the group had apparently donned the unusual garb because they had run out of clean clothes.

When I run out of clothes, I just re-wear them. On most days it may give more to a hobo look and smell, but I just know it’ll be in fashion once that robot invasion is underway and we start living in a post-apocalyptic world battle with them. I’m so ahead of my time.

Full and slightly longer article here.

So I’m back in Hamilton now. Friday was a day of still recouping and hanging with friends, especially Tanya’s goodbye which was both emotional and a very drunken time for me. Which was great and completely what I needed given how intense the whole week has been.

So great I spent the next day recovering from my hangover with a friend trading and buying DVDs which totally goes back on my plans to spend nothing this month, but screw it, there were a ridiculous number of deals and specials going around and so I ended up buying about eight DVDs, two comic books and came home to find packages containing nine more DVDs and all have been re-arranged on a new shelf I also acquired in Auckland, but still provides not enough space for all my DVDs, so its back to finding and buying another shelf (which would make for a fifth) and hoping that by the time I do, I wouldn’t have bought so much more stuff that it wont fit.

But yeah, totally failed on the whole not buying things, but screw it, I’m a consumer whore like that. Actually, come to think of it, there’s still about five more DVD’s coming in the mail… mega fail.

Didn’t end up sleeping last night and kept working. Managed to get at least an hour of sleep during the day. Finally finished this evening. Have just eaten. Having some beers right now. Need sleep. Proper post tomorrow.

It’s two in the morning. Been working all day editing and re-editing and then scrapping everything and starting a completely new edit which up to now is almost finish, but wont be finalised until early tomorrow morning, which doesn’t leave much room for recuts or anything. Oh and now I’m also an Astronaut to be onstage, which is at least something different and fun if only for a little bit.

But yeah, I’m still working and pretty tired and still have a six o’clock wake up to have in four hours. Hell, I’m not even blogging this from my own hotel room which I’ve yet to set foot in.

Fun times.

Awake. Have only slept a couple of hours after some intense late night packing and sorting. Just finishing off some emails and correspondence before packing the computer away for some fun travelling and more working. This is turning into one of the longest weeks I’ve had in a while and it’s only Wednesday morning… morning… man.

I had other things to post, but I can’t remember what exactly and I’m out of time.

So here’s some lightsaber fighting squirrels in the park.

Sweeeet.

Currently existing as a very little sleep entity.

Just typing that sentence took a lot of backspace key hitting cause I keep mistyping and spellling things wrong. Along with that sentence.

Super tired and been editing for the last day or two in between working at video store, so haven’t had time to rest or chill or hang out with anyone as I always hope to do, but never do.

Have to go to work in a moment, when I come home I’ll still have to finish up some editing and capturing before packing and then a little sleeping, but then some driving to Auckland in the morning and then more working and editing and blaaaaah… I need a break.

I feel like this kid.

Next week I’ll be in Auckland prepping and working on a one day show along with some drinking here and there of course. Have also recently been offered quite a variety of indie film work as well around the place, but have been totally slack in getting back to anyone about it yet. As much as a I love it, it’s hard to make time for no pay gigs, or at least all of them. We’ll it goes in time. There’s also the factor my correspondence for the last week with basically everyone from all aspects of my life is totally shit.

Meanwhile, I am so ridiculously hooked on watching clips from NBC’s To Catch A Predator at the moment. It’s like my new crack. That and continuing a massive clean up of my computer. But man, these pedos…

Sneaking suspicion I’m either getting sick or am being invaded and controlled by a cabal of baby-murdering gnomes from another dimension. Just like the media.

One of my new favourite web comic wondermark.

Awesome girl doing a funky dance to daft punk.

Some guy that is building his very own batman tumbler.

And a totally sweet optical illusion.

It’s like the internet made a comic just for me, about me.
