Another glorious week ahead.
We have a fancy audit thing going on at work tomorrow, all of upper management are kacking their pants over it and running around like headless chickens in an attempt to get everyone ready.
As far as I am aware, failure means we don't get a special certificate or something like that. Not sure why they are pouring so much time and money into this, considering they are cutting our pay down to 'save costs' then they go and blow money on frivilous rubbish like this.
Guess you need to be upper management to understand that particular thought process.

My work on the models for Games Day Canada is coming to a close soon, almost finished, and all the packaging is ready to go.
Just need to get the shipping address and I should have it all off in the space of a week (if all goes well)
Also that means that there will actually be updates in here again, since all work came to a halt while I worked on this.

The wargames club I attend (South Auckland Warmongers) are going to be doing a wee campaign shortly, I've gone over the layout and it looks pretty sweet. Lots of fun to be had by all it would seem :D
I've been looking into the possibility of taking the Necromunda mantle back up again... it's been far too long since I really played that game. It's way to fun to be neglected so I have been trying to drum up some interest amongst the club and so far it seeems people are keen to give it a whirl :)

I see that Ophelia [link] is looking at the idea of making a calendar for next year.
I'm normally not one for having a calendar, unless it's a full year wall planner, but her work is beautiful so I am most likely going to make an exception here.
I highly recommend checking out her galleries, that's one very talented german lass.

It's getting cold down here on the bottom of the world.
I've only really just started to notice it when I tried to go running in the mornings and it's actually getting too chilly to be out, even in a tracksuit.
Subsequently I have borrowed a workout book from my brother (a personal trainer) and so now I can keep my exercise in the comfort of my own living room during winter :p
Just need to get my hands on a swiss ball apparantly, but I know exactly where to get one big enough to support me.

It turns out that the computer troubles I was having before culminated in my motherboard totally crapping out and dying completely.
Went to the store and brought a very basic 2.6GHz dual core processor with 4 Gb of RAM which was an upgrade for me (I know; sad isn't it) but it works well enough so I'm pretty happy again.
New motherboard has only 1 IDE channel which is rather annoying, but there's not really a whole lot that can be done about it.
If I need my DVD rom or my media drive it currently involves shutting the PC down swapping cables around then restarting again.
A regular pain in the backside.


My Fiancee is about to finish off first somester of second year nursing.
Ohhh she's really not enjoying that much. Apparanlty Nursing is all about identifying what's wrong, but then not actually knowing what can be done about it.
Seems bloody strange to me, but whenever she goes studies a bit more than necessary or asks questions of the doctors and other medical staff she gets grilled for asking 'irrelevant' questions.
Oh noes, one of our students is trying to learn... stop her quick, before she destroys everything!

I should get my ass back to work I think, Sitting here at my desk, diligently typing out a journal entry does not get furniture dispatched out to customers :P
Meh, like I care much ^^

See you all again later on

My name is Matthew Carr.
I currently live in Auckland, New Zealand but I plan on moving to Sydney, Australia with my fiancée soon.
My deviations currently are more or less all Games Workshop models that I have painted for my various gaming armies, though from time to time another genre of art will find it's way in.

I am particularly fond of anime and manga, but due to the time constraints of life I do not get to experience as much as I would like to and so I must be very picky of what I do watch.

I want to start an apprenticeship so that I can become a plumber, as I am sick of having a crap low paying go nowhere day job... I know I have to do something about it and so once I move to Oz I will try to get myself into an apprenticeship and get control of my life.

Despite being a guy I am prone to taking a liking to some rather 'girly' things... Mostly Fashion and Pop Music.
A look through my gallery will show quite a few models that I have chosen to paint pink. Bright pink even. I just liked the idea of having a big collection of pink models.
I have a thing for girls fashion.
I don't really follow trends as such, but I have my own opinions on what I think looks good on girls. Typically the 'latest' at the local mall is a travesty, the work of a blind leper being put in charge of the new seasons look...
Music also. I usually listen to a lot of rock music, honourable mentions to Dragonforce, Metallica (Black Album - Reload) and The Offspring.
Recently, I've been grooving to Britney Spears and Lady GaGa.
I'm enjoying myself so I don't really care what anyone else thinks

I have a mean arrogant streak.
I am very very arrogant when it comes to people and being stupid.
Where I live now, it seems people are discovering new ways to be even more idiotic and inconsiderate, it's quite unbelievable just how some of the people living here managed to survive to puberty, let alone get through it with their total lack of common sense.

I am reasonably competent with a computer, I keep mine in a working state and it doesn't slow down on me over time or start doing anything strange.
I wish I had faked a learning disability sometimes though as I frequently get asked to look at every other persons PC and I have to go through and 'fix' it.

I realise I am overweight, and for ages I've put off doing anything about it.
However when I went back to work after my holidays I just had an epiphany on Monday morning and decided that I was going to start running.
I thought it would be really hard to keep myself motivated to keep doing it, but surprisingly enough I look forward to going out at 5am and going for my jog.
Also of interest is that when I don't go running, I feel terrible in the mornings... so there's some incentive right there :)
I have also adjusted my diet significantly, eating about 30% less of what I did before, and shunning soft drink entirely and drinking water instead.
I had some soft drink at work recently and I found it to be kinda gross.
That surprised me a lot, I couldn't finish a small bottle as it was just... yuk.
So it looks like the road to being a little more healthy is being made easier by default :)
I'm looking forward to getting myself into better shape.

Tyrant wise ih ave 3 currently.
There's the one in my galleries, the walking devil.
I'm converting a 3rd ed one into a ravener style snake body which will be a flying devil.

I have the current one which will be the flying scythed variety and when my 2nd ed one arrives it will be a walking scythed one.

Need more sniper fex for my heavy slots and more pie fex for my elites.
