baby, what's in that satchel?

i am trying (very unsucessfully) to draw a nun for the donation box at my parents' shindig on friday. somehow she always comes out looking super evil. EVIL NUN! but no ..

you see, the parentals don't want presents, but would like people to donate the money (they had planned to use to buy presents) to the little sisters of the poor. so i'm just making a little placard for the box ... as girlies with too much spare time on their hands are wont to do.

also, you will notice i've added another link to the already-very-long list on the right *points o'er yonder* suckball dot com is entertainy! just as ampulets are arty, and fortycalibernap is ramble-y. introduced by theMunAAARGH who says he reads it every weekend when he books out. also, mun's link is dead because the domain is no more so i've removed that link. and yas is now bashoo because he likes the word so much.

one last blog-thing, i am currently undecided as to whether i should bring back archives. i reckon i had some nice stuff in those archives, but also that they further clutter up the already very cluttered up right-hand-side frame. or maybe remove the architect trivia? none of them have died lately except for harry seidler and that wasn't funny. any opinions? if you have a winning suggestion, i will treat you to bubbletea (in perth) or old chang kee (in sg). if you are elsewhere .. um .. i will give you *happy snaps* or make you a purdy banner for your blog? your choice lah.

on to other things, i'm finally a 4th year! i need to re-enrol now. the joy of knowing i only have 2 years of uni left is only slightly marred by the fact that uni's studentconnect site is leading me in merry circles. i'm sure once i'm really graduated i will look back on these days and lament on how i did not grab them by the little ladies' testiclé with enough gusto, but for now i'm content with being one step closer to spear-heading my own movement.

ah .. so many changes to blog and life! although changes to life are a bit slow and not as apparent as changes to blog. if i were into horoscopes, i'd write this for myself:

"dear scorpio, your week will be full of changes. also, this is a time for travel and meeting new people. do not be held back by the shackles of the past and forge bravely on. you will thank yourself for this later"

and finally, tonight we are off to watch PIRATES!! harrrr .. oh johnny. i mean. PIRATES! harrrr
