Seems that i've gone from daily to monthly as of late.
There really isn't much need for me to blog, and so I keep putting it off until there's some substantial matter.
I've got an open day about a temporary job cleaning plates in a kitchen at a cricket grounds during some sort of test match or something. I don't like sport, so I don't much care about the gig. It's just nice to be able to mark on the CV that I haven't been doing nothing for ages.
That open day is on Monday, so I'll tell you all how that goes.
I just hate the concept of a two-hour open day for such a simple job. Just point me to my sink on the day and tell me to get on with it. I don't need a tour for that.

A few days ago, Kirsty and I went to Church. 
Never thought i'd be saying that. Me, in Church?
Well, it wasn't anything seriously religious. We kept saying for ages we wanted to go for a walk, but never got around to it until a little while ago.
She showed me the local sights, including buildings from the 1400's... And a Church to match. The architecture and details on the outside of this building are monumental, and awe-inspiring. With the exception of the bells, the clock facing and a few dedication stones, the entire thing is still in 'original' state. Very impressive.
See, we both love old-style buildings, they're very interesting to us.
We noticed on the Church bulletin board that on Wednesday evenings, they light the church by candles for people to come in and see.
We intended to just look around it, and then maybe relax before heading back.
There was a weird point where we both walked in-sync down the aisle, which un-nerved us a little, but it was a pleasant feeling.
We met the Vicar. He came and introduced himself because he hadn't seen us before.
Seems that later in the day, they sit down, read a bible passage and then discuss it's meaning to them, with relevant stories from their own lives.
It's not a religious thing like you see preachers in a town center doing, threatening this or the other if you don't accept Jesus. It was more of a community support center.
That I found to be astonishing. After all of this time, after all of the people who blame things on God for their own whims, or follow religion too heavily... here are some people who are following the MESSAGE, and not the STORY. How it's meant to be taken. Very nice, very polite people, listening to and helping each other - in fact, Thursdays are supposed to be silent prayer, but it usually evolves into community support once again where people share their problems and people offer a friendly opinion.
We do intend to visit again at some point.

So, on the 6th is another anniversary for Kirsty and I. Almost two years now... It's gone really fast, and yet, at the same time I feel more as if we've been together for decades. We're getting along well and there's no real turbulence anymore.
We're planning a picnic after I get back from my open day nonsense thing. We've been wanting to do that for a while too, so it'll be nice to spend some time out together relaxing.
She says there's a forest near here, so we are going to go there for the picnic.
Also, if time permits and we get hungry later in the evening, we're going to walk down to a local high-class looking indian restaurant. There's two or three that are meant to be good, so this all depends on how we feel and how far we would want to travel.

In other news, I am beginning concept work for a small scale comic project based upon the AD Police from Bubblegum Crisis. The designs are quite interesting to me, and for a world with such heavy writing behind it in official printed matter, there is so much that is unexplored about the future Tokyo city. People can see my work over at my Deviantart page.
