News

well, today i heard that Heath Ledger has been found dead, which did sadden me. i was not a fanatical fan of his but that boy could really act. i loved the acting in Brokeback Mountain and was saddened to hear of his death. my thoughts go out to his friends and family and hope that they keep strong through this ttime.

moving on, my dad bought a new all in one cannon printer, scanner and copier in hte weekend and i cannot wait to try out the printer because it is supposed to give photo quality prints and i cannot wait to try out the new scanner as i think it is going to be so much better than my old one which came with the computer. not that my old scanner was crap, i just think that this one will be better.

just to let you know, i will be showing a couple of sculptures to you all in the near future, when i can find the time to composite all the images into one file on paint.
