If the week was on a sliding scale, measuring how well it had gone, it would definitely be pointing to the middle ‘neutral’ ground.

From swings deep into the negative at the beginning of the week with the loss of a friend, not in the bereaved sense of the word, to swings in the other direction with the re-discovery of old friends.

From work and injury managing to stop me attending senior karate classes this week, although the positive is that work is finally starting to get interesting, to finally getting the spark back when presented with a pencil and a blank canvas; Although for some reason when presented with a blank photoshop canvas and a mouse I only seem able to doodle little cartoons… What’s going on there?

I have even started baking thanks to the ever helpful Mr Evans (@phevans).

However, I still can’t shake the feeling that the negatives will be deeper felt than the positives.  Methinks it’s time to go-a-visiting next week, and finally fulfill some long outstanding beer promises, to play catch up and revisit simpler times.

…of course the scales can also extend to the “Oh shit, noooooo!” end of the spectrum, especially when you learn of  ’Jade Goody the musical‘!

Its either time to emigrate or await the four horses of the apathetic apocalypse with open arms.

I want to draw, but can only doodle a couple of silly cartoons and I can do so much more than that.. if only I could figure out what it was I wanted to draw or what medium to use; pen, pencil, pastels or photoshop with the wacom tablet?

I want to do some more PHP web development, but have so far only developed the equivalent of a “hello world” application and I have certainly done much more that that.. I can’t even figure out what Object Classes or Libraries I would want to use.

So I am sitting looking out of the metaphorical window, as I don’t have a real one in my roof space office, and thinking; “dammit since when did life start impeding on my playtime?”

So it would seem that there’s no hiding up here either…  Which is damn rude of the real world!
