its been a while since i updated this blog. updating to me seems like a rather tiresome task these days. i've got quite a lot of pics to put up but i guess that'll come soon enough.
i recently went up to Sweden with my girlfriend Kristina. the process of waiting for the s-pass application was taking ridiculously long due to various hiccups made by her company, manpower & SAE. fucking bastards, each & everyone of them. in any case, sweden was excellent. her family was really warm & hospitable & i really enjoyed my time there, despite it being a really short trip of 1 week & burning a major hole in my wallet. her apartment is next to a forest & stockholm city is like 30mins away by bus & train. best of all, people there actually give way to alighting passengers! no 'pushing & cluster-fucking their way thru to get a seat' type of nonsense. all in all, really good.
work is starting to slow down somewhat. i'm done with the production phase for the sfx & music for the game. now we just need to integrate everything in & iron out the kinks along the way. there're some other projects coming up but they haven't handed me any materials yet so i'll just chill-ax a 'lil first.
just finished watching this film about human trafficking for the sex trade called 'Lilja 4-Ever'. its probably one of the most depressing films i've watched in a while. it doesn't leave u feeling inspired. it just leaves u feeling like shite. about humanity. about compassion. innocence. all these traits are severely lacking. don't get me wrong, its a really good film. just that u feel really shit about everything afterwards. if anyone wants to watch it, just ask me for the dvd.
the thought of leaving has recently been on my mind alot. i dunno if its the wisest or stupidest life decision i'll ever make. i don't really know. but i do know that i want to do it. at least for 2 to 3 years. nothing ventured nothing gained? it might be a temporary or permanent stay. nothing's for certain now. but i just really wanna show my folks that i can be independent, living in an apartment, providing for myself & Kristina. its a really scary thought. but it'll be a thought to ponder & plan on for the next 2 years...
