Thou foul son of a motherless goat!

Finally unhooked my silly Creatis tablet. Ah well. So much for my artistic aspirations.
That sounded so negative... well, to tell the truth, I mean to connect it back again soon. Maybe not to illustrate stuff. I think it'll come in useful when I start using After Effects.
I've decided that drawing, like music, is best appreciated, not attempted. By myself at least.
A new boy has moved into my floor. I call him a boy because despite being 18 years old, he's incredibly naive and sheltered. Not that that's a bad thing. I don't like world-weary and jaded people... they can be quite off-putting, even if I do respect a good dose of street-wisdom.
Anyway, this boy cried on his first night here... he was lonely and he didn't know anyone. I think he comes from a rural part of Malaysia, and Melbourne was a bit of a culture shock for him.
I want to become his mother. That doesn't sound too healthy, does it?
People have always considered me a bit of a mother hen... an eccentric, highly wired, back-slapping, rough-housing, eat-your-veggies! kind of mother. Ok, so maybe I'm the kind who would cause her kids permanent psychological damage.. the type that would require years of costly therapy to repair.
I wonder if I should have kids? I'd like to have a few dozen, but I'd probably throw off the whole planet's mental balance. Bwahaha! -
BREAK the morning!

It's 8.55 am. Not a good time to be awake. The light looks weird.
Have just discovered a couple of really good webcomics these past couple of days. I'm trying to be wise and read in moderation so I don't finish them all at once and have to wait in addict hell.
I think I'm going to do a music video to one of them. :)

Argh, it's so freakin hot in Melbourne! And my room's horribly stuffy. It's so bad that I couldn't wake up this morning... I mean, how bad is it when your room's ventilation practically ensures you go into a coma if you're not conscious to open the door?
Anyway, got my Creatis tablet hooked up to my computer yesterday... I got it free with my HP printer about a year back, but never did get round to using it. I finally decided to plug it in yesterday, because I decided if almost all the artists I know have a tablet, I may become one if I have a tablet too!
All the artists were up and drawing within like two minutes of having it hooked up. Me? I'm still making spirals. Crooked ones at that.
Am I supposed to look at the tablet or at the screen for reference? Because nothing seems to help! I'm writing like a 2 year old with a mouldy crayon! Help?
Last night I was up till 5 am doing things... reading a web comic. Downloading and renaming the files of said web comic. Blue-tacking a clothes pin onto the wall beside my bed so I could pin up a notepad, pen and Maglight in case my overclocked brain decides making to do lists for the next day at 4 am in the morning. It happens all the time... me remembering stuff to do, I mean. It can get so bad I don't get to sleep trying to remember it all.
Me turning in at 4 am:
** Anything to remember before I sleep? Hm.... right, got to buy a file for tomorrow. OK. Buy a file, buy a file, buy a file, buy a file.... eeps, I need to send that fax too... buy a file, send fax, buy file, send fax, buy file, send fax - that should be it. Now to sleep. Oh wait... no, that's not it. Got to make sure I pay the bill to. Buy file, send fax, pay bill. Buy file, send fax, pay bill. Zzz... Buy bill, send file, pay fax.... zzzz... waitaminit, whatwazzat again? **
In the end, I switch on the lights and go write it down. Which was what I was trying to avoid, because I wake up all the way the moment the lights come on. And once I am awake, it takes ages for me to get to sleep again.
I found a Post-it tacked to the side of my bed this morning. It looks like the note's been written on my Creatis tablet. With my left hand. While doing starjumps.
Sigh.

My dorm mate seems to like my Nausicaa video pretty much. It's still in the works, but he keeps telling people about it. Just now, he brought a friend of his into my room to show it to him.
He liked it.
