"aztec en zed dot co dot en zed" "aztec dot co dot en zed" "aztec EN zed dot co dot en zed" "aztec dot co dot en zed" "aztec EN ZED dot co dot en zed" "OHHH....aztec EN ZED dot co dot en zed" why don't people listen to me? I know that it's a little confusing, having two "nz"s in the same address but it's not Rocket Science, just L I S T E N. Anyway, it got sorted. I went deep inside myself and pretended I was patient. It sort of worked. Today is strange. My hair is SO fluffy even I can't take myself seriously. I've worked quite hard today, got loose ends tied up etc. Lots to do, but getting done and all that jazz. Tonight. TONIGHT. I go to see the Big K as the BIG K.. at IMAX. You know the place? the multistory screen movie theatre is showing The Matrix at four time's the normal size. *goes wobbly* RUN KEANU RUN. But wait.. there's more. Justin's going too. And Farah, and a clutch of their friends, and me and Ra. But wait.. there's more. Tomorrow is the Macromedia conference ALL DAY in the CITY and we all know what the City holds for the likes of Ra and myself? yes.. yes.. that's right.. fried banana pancakes. *homer drools* But WAIT.. there's MORE. We LOVE the Macromedia conference and we are HOPING like Crazy that there will be a demonstraion model of the G4 Cube for us to drool over. But WAIT.. there's MORE. I get a new Macromedia "Build for Speed" pen (maybe) That's all. Very exciting, don't you think? --------

It's Friday. It's not warm. Today is easy - I made sure of that - I feel I need it. I'm eating my lunch in front of the Computer today. Chatting and writing in here. It's cold outside, all grey and overcast. I had a chicken pie. Not the best for lunch, as I'm sure I'll get sleepy in about half an hour, but it was fast and warm. That's the main thing. We have a 'guy' coming in this afternoon. He's a multimedia developer claiming 6 years LINGO experience. I just wanted a distraction and to meet someone else in the Industry. He's bringing his iBook in to give us a demo of his work at afternoon tea time. Next week is shaping up quite nicely. Justin emailed to say he and Farah are going to see The Matrix at IMAX on Monday night so Ra and I thought we'd go too. On Tuesday is the Macromedia conference, so I'm trying to talk Ra into a motel room in town overnight - it's not working. I'm getting better and better at thinking "Flash". I've been animating all week, basically, and it's getting more and more comfortable. It's nice to get the visual results and not settling for the film loop options with their less than acceptable control. The conference on Tuesday'll be good - its mostly to launch the newest version of Flash, but to 'spread the macromedia' word too. It's always good for the hype. PLUS.. it's not 'at' work. Rachelle and I went to The Patriot last night. *knuckle bite* Heath Ledger. Yum. Long movie though, and I have to say, Mel Gibson runs like a girl. He's a hopeless actor too, when he's sposed to show emotion he just looks silly. I know he means well, but frankly, he stinks. He should stick to running (not like a girl) and being stanch. That movie.. not Ransom.. that other one, where he was a thief and someone doublecrossed him and he had to get his money back. drats. you know the one (on the tip of my brain) arg. it'll come to me. Anyway.. he should just stick to those movie lines. In all his movies, his family dies - if not all of them, then at least a couple of them - then he has to go seek revenge (okay so in Ransom the kid doesn't die but his freedom is violated - still upset Mel) Grrr.. no one decent to chat with in the Articulate. I wish [actual]'d just SHOW up dammit. Fraz is online but busy. Not that I want company just that, company is nice. No one seems to be around anymore. *high pitched whinging* I don't know what to put on my new web page. I keep coming here and shoving more CRAP into this space when I have this lovely, clean, advertising free zone over at michellepark.com and it's EMPTY. I am suffering the Web's equivalent of whitefright. (you know? when an artist is confronted with a new canvas, white and new and can't get a mark onto it) I think I must have built up the dot com too large in my brain, given it too much importance, and lets face it, NO one's gonna go there anyway.. like here, the average hits/day is 2 so whatthehell am I worrying about. --------

well that was a mighty fine start to my diary today. I clicked the X. *doh*. I was telling you that Kebab Korner has the Best Kebabs. Phil was in this morning to do half an hour of voice. I was a smidgen late - well technically I was five minutes early but because HE was 15 minutes early that made ME look late. *mumbles* mind you, I should have been in earlier. That bed is going to be the ruin of me. It's just soooo comfy with the sheepskin underlay. I'm warm every night all the time now and it's just heavenly. So much so, that I am having trouble staying out of my bed. I get up. Get back in. Get up - shower - get back in. I am spending two hours every morning wandering around trying unsuccessfully to resist the call of the comfort. God, i am fantasising about it now *drifts off* I'm having a 'not so bad' week so far. Busy, but what else is new? Getting some things animated, learning and getting faster in Flash. Thinking about michellepark.com and virtuallykicking myself for not doing anything about that. (not kicking too hard though). I am the most boring person these days. People are always asking me "what's new" and "what's happening" and its just -nothing- nothing is new, nothing is happening. I have nothing to say and nothing to contribute. That works okay if you are in Line of Sight because you can just sit quietly, but online, it equals silence which doesn't work quite so well. --------
