Summer rain

July so far has been pretty hot and dry for the most part but over the last couple of days the rain has returned. It is still hot and the rain almost feels tropical coming down in fierce showers with raindrops almost the size of pennies. I actually quite like it. At least it does not feel too humid.

I am in the mood for wrapping myself up in my quilt and spending the day vegging out on the couch watching martial arts movies and reading film magazines. I feel like I might be getting a cold which is probably why I am feeling a bit mopey.

I have been a busy bee this month, working hard at my day job, my course and also on the set up of my design business - which I hope will eventually free me from the purgatory that is office work and will lead me into the wonderful world where I get to spend most of my time being creative.
So any bit of spare time I have in-between horse riding and the other stuff that I get up to has been spent on getting things sorted like logo's, equipment, a business plan etc. Many a spaced out hour was spent thinking about what to even call my business, (I settled on the name Speed of Light Designs) but I am well on the way now and I can proudly say that I am now the owner of speedoflightdesigns.com… the website however is not up and running yet as I am still in the process of designing it. It will be up sometime soon though. I even have my first official client - so on top of everything else I have also been spending time working on the design job they have hired me to do. To say I am busy, would be putting it mildly. But you know, who really needs sleep? The great thing is, is that I am loving it. I will update further when speedoflightdesigns.com is up and running.

I have recently been getting into the TV series Heroes. OMG Sylar is such a great character - evil but great. I think Hiro's storylines are the best and was delighted to see David Anders (Adam), (Sark from Alias) join the cast in Season 2 - He is always fun to watch :)

I guess I am a bit late to talk about Wimbledon, but I will anyway. I watched some of the matches and when Andy Roddick played against Roger Federer in the final. I felt really choked up when he lost. It was awful, I really wanted him to win. I am not really much of a tennis fan but Roddick really seemed to play his heart out and looked so defeated at the end, I felt terribly for him. I hope he comes back and wins it next year.

I am off to drink tea and work on some designs. But before I go do that below is one of my favourite quotes from a film that I am totally addicted to - Almost Famous (if you have not watched this film, you should, cos it is awesome!)

Lester Bangs: "The only true currency in this bankrupt world... is what you share with someone else when you're uncool."

Happy thoughts, flowers and bubbles!
I will write again soon…
