Wallets, Cats, Animation et al

Right so, a brief post for all you (no one reads this I am sure lol) that I am still alive and running. Been getting very busy of late, drawing tons and tons and tons just to have 20 seconds worth of animation...Boy it's hard work! But it feels damn good seeing the result, even if I plan to tweak it a few times after. So yeah, lots of uni work to do, have to start writing 2 essays, and basically keep a sketchbook going *cough cough*, ahemm.

So why did I mention wallet's in my title? Well, just so happened, riding back from uni to my accommodation I happened upon a lost wallet on the floor. I naturally stopped, picked it up, looked inside for some ID, which there was (driver's license) and decided to get it in a policeman/woman's hands asap. Well, I thought, easy! I live right next to a Police station, so no problemo! WRONG! I knocked, I rang, I walked and looked, and pretty much froze my ears off just to try and get this wallet back to the person it belongs to. Well, in the end, no police was to be found, so I've decided to take it in with me for the night and try tomorrow before I leave for the weekend, if not, it'll have to wait till next week, and frankly, I'd rather this be sooner than later. That's the wallet story. Oh and here are a few pictures of it, just for giggles.


Cats...why cats?? I love them, first of all, and also to let you know I am still keeping a close eye to the Stuff On My Cat site because I've submitted a couple of pics during the summer, and I am not surprised it's not up yet, but I do hope it will go up on the site sometime, as I believe the pictures are unique enough, lol. I'll keep you all posted on that.

What else...oh yes! I finally got a job (as a casual, so no contract) at the Bristol Thistle Hotel. These, partenered with Guoman Hotels, are very reputable hotels which are dotted everywhere around the UK, and even several in London alone! So, even though hospitality is not necessarily a career I want to get into, I would mind doing this long term, if I do well as a casual, perhaps it can get me a full time job for next summer as I'm staying in the Uk, and plan to work. And not to mention, I get benefits for being a Thistle employee, such as greta discounted rates on rooms on any of their hotels, same with food and beverages, so it's all good! I am very much looking forward to my first shift which will be at the beginning of December. It's the Christmas season soon, so of course, they're started to recruit lots of casuals and contract workers for probably one of the busiest times of the year. I am very confident about this, as it'll teach me fundamental skills in a few things, and will give me enough experience for any future jobs I persue. So all in all, good news!! Oh yes, can't forget the Panto my boyfriend's in...excited to see it (twice!) and with my sister too, I miss her. OK, wrapping it up here for now, over andd out. Peace! xx
