Shit its cold :S ! ! ! !

Hello and too all those people out there who have an interest in walking around the streets looking like an extra in a Michael Jackson video ... A Happy Halloween or what ever else you wanna call it ... I have to admit, its scary how much over here is becoming like America in its attempt to catch up with your style of celebrating this time of year .. either that or the fact that Asda got bought out by Wal*Mart so we now get all the imported tat .. damn I'm cynical heh heh

OK as you may have noticed I have been putting up some new stock these last few weeks .. and as much as last weeks was late I am going to try and put up one pack a week (ok the packs so far have been just that as opposed to separates and a pack but usually textures and "new direction" packs normally don't appear as separates .. as much as I ask for input as to weather peeps want them that way). I sorta get into feast or famine mode .. you never hear from me for like 3 months then I spam you with stock till your blue in the face :S

Oh and I wanna say goodbye to a dear friend :'( [link] .. The north Wales council are moving in to demolish half of the abandoned mental hospital in north Wales and turn the rest into flats (now there's a topic for discussion LOL) and as a FUCKING IRRESPONSIBLE T.V. STUNT I hear they are allowing the Most Haunted team to burn down the hospital chapel as the final night of Most Haunted Live. I went there with ~luna-mora and ~valan back in the day and always wanted to try and convince `Elandria to come some time (urbexing that is not to incarcerate her) but yeah .. the world is in a financial free fall and no body has the money but they still are demoing this once great building to put 2 bit flats in .. Oh and Yvette and Karl .. I know they are demoing the chapel anyway but is your bloody show that pathetic that you need to pull a stunt like burning it .. Ok off my soap box

Other than that I am seriously looking forward to next week as i get to see Lanny again after what seems to be a more stressful summer than last years oh and the medi fayre Woot ... Finally found Near Dark on dvd too but the bloody thing won't play after half way through on the house dvd for some reason :S need to sort that out ... Got me a really cool book on gothic archi and I hope it will help me with Max (3ds that is) .. but even so its a re-print of a book from 1847 so the intro is all in nice flowery Victorian its cool seeing the words we used to use.

Erm and yeah Its cold ... and Kat ! I know your in bloody Canada and have some remarkably chilly nights but I don't care .. I AM COLD ! ! ! ! lol

Well thats the update for now .. I know I had a soap box moment but I had too ..

Oh and thanks too to everyone for the 's and for the 's they do mean a hell of a lot to me but since the DA spam thing that they put up a few months ago it makes replying EnMasse a pain .. so I want people to know I do appreciate them and a big Hyowge to all that watch, have watched and will watch me and like my stuff

Well till next time ..... C'YA ! ! ! !
