Well it’s nearly midnight and I’ve just finished my uni work and a wee bit of design work. It’s been a fucking long day. I’m pooped and I have to get up at 6am and start all over again. Lol. Wednesdays are becoming full on days with the whole uni cycle and things due, but I’m still having fun just readjusting to tiredness.

I am halfway through a couple of book reviews and I have a video review to do as well. I also bought a purdy new flogger so hoping to have a play with that over the next few days. Catching up with some special peoples in the weekends YAY. I need an unwind.

Weird thing happened today. There’s this guy, he’s a solo dad and he has a wee one going to the same school as my rugrat. he always says hello whenever he can. And over the last few months I get the feeling he’s rather interested but I’m not and I’m not forthwith with any social glee either. I say hello and keep it pretty sharp and sweet. I’m polite but that’s it and it’s always two minute chats about nothing, he tells me about his shit and I don’t tell him anything about me lol. Today it was well after school ending and I’d got home, had a coffee and got changed and headed out the door to pick the little one up from after school care. It’s a five minute walk.

I’m in my own little world (tired as hell) and I get this …

Solo Dad Dude: “How’s it going”
Me (surprised): “Oh yeah good, bit tired been a long day.”
He was walking the other direction and decides to change his route and follow and catch up to me. Weird.
Dude: “I have a shot if you need something.”
Me: “What?”
Dude: “I have a shot that will pick you up. So you want one?”
At this point I’m slightly freaked out. What the hell?
Me: “Err no it’s okay thanks I don’t do drugs”
Dude: “Oh yeah me neither really but this stuff is good, it motivates me”
I have no fucking idea what ‘this stuff’ is he’s going on about
At this point I say goodbye and cross the road.
Fucking weirdo.

So yeah that kinda pissed me off. I doubt I will be so polite to him anymore. Last time I’d banged into him was on the way back from picking the little one up after a school day last year, he’d said something about coming over and hanging out while the kids played together. One I don’t know this guy at all, two my little one doesn’t even play with his kid or know who the hell he is at school. Fuck that.

Anyways so yeah I have a weird stalker type dude who’s a little besotted and I avoid him at all costs.

On a good note I managed to get some pictures today in between other things.A couple of the reviews that are upcoming

Ima gonna share

So I’m sat at a lecture today half asleep when a third year design student rocks on in and tells us all to shut up and listen for 10 minutes. I did listen and after 10 minutes I have decided to aim for a trip overseas next year for something that I won’t regret. Four days of presentations, workshops and social functions with around 40 of the world’s leading talents in design and creativity. There are travelling scholarships available and course related costs can help and I really want to do this. It’s too late this year as I don’t have enough time nor money to organise it but it’s a yearly event so I can do a little planning for next year.

It’s run by the Design Foundation which is a not-for-profit organisation which supports, promotes and enhances professional development for designers and is four days of intensive inspiration and knowledge that I am just not going to get anywhere else. It may not mean much to someone who isn’t into design but for someone like me it’s a total WOW. The student that presented this wee ditty today went last year and judging from her reactions it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that I am highly likely going to want to do again and again. Next year, Melbourne here I come aaaand the tutors are happy to make it a feasible option along with our studies. We have their full support to do this. Most awesome.

Check out last years line up …

A big thanks to all those who joined in xxx
