I've never been very good at keeping track of time. I think that when I start concentrating on something, the part of my brain that ought to notice things like "it's getting pretty late" gets drafted into thinking about the current project, and so I'm always surprised to discover how long I've been working for...

I sat down to do some painting last night. There's a job due tomorrow (finish today, post tomorrow morning) and I've missed a few days of work lately - so I put my head down and started work. Then, suddenly it was the wee small hours of Monday and I remembered that I was planning to get an early start today. Does it count as a start if you never actually stopped?

Once upon a time, Ulthwe Eldar had a bland-and-boring mostly black colour scheme, with no real interesting bits to paint. Now, artists like George Dellapina have made them much more interesting to work with... I'm finishing up a Falcon in the new colours, and quite enjoying it.

Apart from painting, I had a good weekend - games on Friday night, lunch and wandering in the Botannic Gardens on Saturday, and a random phonecall from fetnas yesterday. How was your weekend?

Ah, the reason for the themed morning that morning was because the lecturer couldn't fit in much talk about the Nationals while having a special guest. The special guest in question turned out the be spirit of Sir Robert Menzies. Once his feat of video based necromancy was completed, I guess he had a heap of preparation time left over and scones was a good a timekiller as any.

The Labor party and its history is the lecturer's specialty so his lecture stunt was limited to complaining about how reporters keep taking his quotes out of context and getting a bit of revenge. Prior to the scones, I think the one I liked best was when explaining the varying poles of the poltican spectrum, he dressed in the colour of the particular group. Towards the end there was a red chequered shirt with a blue jacket and black (anarachists) overcoat. Accessories included green bracers and a purple scarf.

The class is the 3 hour class followed by 3 hours of another class so eating is quite popular in general though.
