Sasquatch

Sasquatch: noun
1929, from Salish, one of a race of huge, hairy man-monsters supposed to inhabit the Pacific northwest woods in Amer.Indian lore.

Anyway that's not the point. I just posted to say that the site is getting back on track. I still haven't made any new graphics but I have spent the last few days cleaning this place up. Fixing some of the spelling and grammar errors that only the reviews seem to pick up and finally adding that review this place got so long ago. You can read how miserable it made me feel in the reviews section.

Which reminds me about a new section I posted up, it's called Responses and it's just my responses to things. At the moment it's my responses to two of my reviews, but I think over time I'll post responses to emails and such. Kinda like a hall of fame and a hall of shame. You are also free to post comments to my responses if you agree of disagree with them, should be interesting. So you can now read responses under the Articles menu.

I also tried out Foobar's suggestion to making the site load faster and looked into external Javascripts. But sadly when I tested that out it only worked in Firefox. It seems like a good idea but foolish if your visitors don't have java installed then they can't access parts of the site, since my whole drop down menu is a java code. It sure does free up a lot of room and mess but it sure is a gamble too.

That's all for now. I would also like you wish everyone a happy belated easter and holidays.

I'm feeling sad today

Wow! An update

Well I'm sitting here enjoying the start of my Two week break. Two weeks of boredom and site fixing up to do, wallpaper and layout making to be done and requests to full fill, as well as the occasional homework and testing out Sims 2 Free Time.

At the moment I'm sitting here enjoying my easter candy (I'm sick of chocolate) and listening to Origin on my stereo, it sounds so good. I can't remember the last time I played Evanescence's very first EP album on the stereo, usually only listen to it on my Ipod.

Anyway, I have some updates, yay. I added 3 new wallpapers. I feel cheap for using the exclusive wallpapers I made for two Evanescence fan groups, but I really needed to update this place and I think they were the best wallpapers I've made so far. So both the group owners thought it was a wonderful idea that I also put them up here, so please I hope you enjoy them, you can check them out at the Wallpapers section.

I've had sudden motivation to add more works when I stumbled across a forum topic on the Drake Bell message board that's devoted to talking about my wallpapers, and I have had no contribution to that topic, so I feel so happy knowing I still have fans out there...somewhere. Thanks for everyone's nice comments, also thanks to all the visitors who visit here and post and use my works

I've also updated some new artworks to my Deviantart, some more works from my new illustration course. I'm starting to get the hang of digital airbrushing now, and hope to be making more digital works. So be sure to check them out too if you haven't all ready.

That's all the updates I have for now, I still need to add some Christmas gifts I received (I know I'm really behind) and add that new review as well as fixing up the Dixy Pixy review, 'cause apparently that page doesn't work in IE, but I can't find the problem the code looks correct to me. So Hopefully someone can help find the problem and tell me.

I'm Still Here

Yes I'm still alive. Judging from the drop in visitors, the drop in requests and so forth, everyone is busy. I myself have been very, very busy indeed not to mention distracted, depressed, lazy, going through every single emotion and it's summer time. I think I did write somewhere that the site might not get updated this time of year this year, and well it isn't.

Anyway first of all I would like to apologise for people who might be disappointed in me, I am planing, well hoping to update this site one day. Strange how when things are left for too long and untouched they need a lot of repairs. One day I will fix up with place, and make more wallpapers and layouts. I have a lot of inspiration for upcoming projects, but little time and motivation.

So anyway I'm just posting this message to say "don't forget me" or I might cease to exist, and we wouldn't want that. But if you are deprived of my glory and desperately wanna see my amazing talent (how vain does that sound?), then you can check up my updates on my Deviantart. As well as the graphic requests I've done and enjoyed working for Amy's Army and I have just finished an exclusive wallpaper project for Among The Ashess - don't know when they will (if) add them online.

So have a little patience, I will be back here one day. I expect after all these projects are done and I'm back at Tafe, I will be getting back on top of things.

Also my site got (poorly but fairly) reviewed a long while back, and I haven't added that here yet but you can read it at Foobar Reviews

Old School Treat for Fans

This is old news by now, but I'll still post it. Evanescence have decided to go old school and as a treat for us fans have started to perform some of their older songs that haven't been performed live before. The intro of Lose Control was played to work up a crowd but now fans going to upcoming concerts can hear the full song sung live, as well with b-side Missing and a blast from the past, a song Amy hasn't sung in 8 years, Understanding from their EP.

If you are worried you don't be able to see them on tour again, as most fans fear as their tour comes to an end. You can download recordings of these live tracks from here. Thanks to Forum Board member, and Among the Ashes co-owner Snow White for the link.

But I still want them to come back to Australia.
