Updates, a new tv and work (subtitle; second entry, yay!)

I changed some things in the lay-out, made it less juvenile and more accessible, I hope. Again, I'll change it many times before settling on a permanent look (if that'll ever happen).

Added some pictures as well. The tree underneath the title is called Celestial Tree, by Robert Venosa. He's an artist who makes more of this type of work (Birth of a Nebula's quite nice as well, I think). I figured he's a fantasy artist like Valejo or Bell, but without the naked women. Maybe that's not such a good comparison after all. On his website, there's a quote by Salvador Dali: "Bravo Venosa! Dali is pleased to see spiritual madness painted with such a fine technique." I quite like Dali, so it made more sense that I liked Venosa as well. I don't like everything, but the more abstract things are nice, the ones that are less colourful. The American (with some Dutch members) band Cynic uses his art for their album artwork (that's how I found out about him anyway).

Birth of a Nebula (Robert Venosa)

After I post this entry I’ll see if I can get a picture of myself in the About section on the left. Hopefully something aloof and wise, or at least something metal. If not, so be it. I don’t like being photographed, at least not when I have to pose. At the gala (or however you want to call it, formal dress party) last week we had our picture taken, and my smile is....embarrassing. Anyway I hope I get this blogger system enough to actually import a photo.

On to more exciting business. My new television arrived yesterday and it’s HUGE. It wasn’t that expensive, not as costly as it could have been, and certainly the cheapest in its size, even though it’s a very good brand (LG). But it looks a lot bigger in my small living room than it did at the store. Anyway, it’s HD ready, and has multiple scart, component and HDMI ports, so I’m thrilled. My games and movies all look better, I don’t have to fiddle around with switches, and it’s big enough so I can play games on the nicer couch without squinting my eyes and we can play four player splitscreen a lot better. That’s what mattered to me anyway. I’ll try and post a picture soon.

Have to go to work now, and I want to grab some lunch before, so I’ll postpone the job entry for a bit. Wanted to talk about it, but I’ll just leave it at; it’s been awkward, but fun, and I’m probably getting a raise, so yay for me.
