Umm... Well... I suppose I should introduce myself. *Takes deep breath* Okay, lets go!

Well, that's me kinda summed up in a nutshell really. Pretty average person.
Now that that's out of the way...
This is my blog. Don't expect much out of it, as the past blogs have withered and died, either because i've forgot about it, forgot my password, or generally I don't have much to say.
Well, I shall bore you no longer. Later.
Okay, I have so many fan pieces, And I really want to post them for some critical feedback on my artwork.
But oh no, my printer has other ideas.
It won't scan to my computer. I've tried everything, manuals, company website, nothing seems to fix it. That usually happens with me, technology just, buggers up around me.
So, as i've said, tried everything, and nothing's working.
I come to my conclusion.
If ANYONE is reading this, and if ANYONE has a HP Photosmart C4180 All-In-One model, please, PLEASE get in touch. But if it's something like "Check the website" or "Check the manuals", and what seems to be people's favourite "Have you turned it on", then please don't bother, we already know you're thick ^_^
In other words, anyone with the model mentioned above, and anyone who can help me out with USEFUL material, please do get in touch, I shall be eternally grateful.

Okay, so, for my Christmas, I got a Wii! Great! I love Wii's. But I only have Wii Sports. I think I need some more games.
So there I was, shopping for games... any game really. I'm sick of being told i'm 34 by my Wii Sports. I'm about to give up when, there it is, the best game I have probably ever played. It even surpased Guitar Hero.
Okami
Now, i'd heard of this game once before, even played it once on the PS2. But it is nothing compared to it's Wii gameplay. Based on the Japanese sun god, you go around as a wolf, trying to rid the world of evil
"What's different!" I hear you say.
Well...
You have to collect and master 13 brushes, which are scattered across the game. These brushes have different powers, Some cut, others make flowers and trees bloom, You can even make the sun rise! But they all have their important part to play.
The best part is, you get to draw it!
Well, the PS2 version may have been good, but to REALLY get a feel for this game, is has to be played on the Wii, there's no comparison really.
Also, I bought the 8th Bleach... So today has been pretty productive. Best of the year by far!
Anyway, I shall rant no further, but if you have a Wii, this game's definatly worth buying, pretty cheap too, if you shop around, I got it for £15 in the sales.
Later dudes.
Okay, as I'm sure many people are on this site, i'm a big fan of Studio Ghibli (Creators of Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle Etc). And if you aren't, then I guess you check them out.
Anyway, back to the matter on hand. Studio Ghibli have announced that a new film called Ponyo, On A Cliff will be dubbed into English by an all-star cast including Liam Neeson and Matt Damon. I don't know about you, but i'm really excited about this! I had to share it.
Now, onto the second part. As part of a deal, many unreleased Studio Ghibli films will now be released in the UK. This has already been seen with Only Yesterday and Tales From Earthsea. Many more films will be released, however, the one i'm most excited about is Ocean Waves. The story, as far as I have researched, goes around two high school pupils and shows them maturing and relationships. Now, the way I have put that makes it sound bad, but it has been described as "A very good slice of life film" and was compared to Whisper Of The Heart, Which was one of my favourites.
In my knowledge, it was first released as a TV film in 1993, but after growing demand they added it to the deal.
Well, I think i've done ranting for now, but if anyone wants any more information they can visit www.onlineghibli.com for more information. And if anyone has more information on either of the films, please do get in touch!
^_^ Thanks guys, and happy new year, although i'm slightly late now...
