New Project

Well im starting a new project.

I havnt done some creative writing in awhile and the idea has been swimming in my mind for awhile.
So far I've done one introductory post on the site but it would be cool if you could check it out. I'll probably do a couple more posts today for the other two characters.
check it out at:

It's hard to explain what it's going to end up as, but i'm aiming for a style of snap shots into the three characters lives. You'll have to read it to find out!

Weird Candy

I just had this weird Korean lolly, it had a chocolate shell, with a some pickeled cabbage paste or something in the centre, with chilli mixed in. weird

Flying high in a tent

Went to see Cirque Du Soleil last night, saw Dralion. was pretty awesome. There were three acts that really impressed me- the DAnce on lightbulbs, the tissue and the swings. I saw Varekai when it in Aus a little while ago. I think it was better than Dralion. The inclusion of a story line in Varekai added something to the atmosphere of the whole performance. Dralion was more like anexploration of a theme- that being a fusion of eastern and african culture. This was expressed through the four elements- Earth, fire, air and water.
That being said Dralion was still an excellent experience. I thourghly enjoyed it.

Playing snake in the lift

I got stuck in the lift at work today, only for like 40 mins, thankgod it wasnt one of those 14 hour things.
I couldnt tell my boss i was there cause my work mobile had no recpetion... so i just played snake untill they got us out. Terribly exciting ordeal that was.

The joys of HTML

So new blog design.

tell me what you think.. im not really good at manipulating HTML, it took me about 15 mins just to make it look like this.

I want to make the text scrool over the background, but cant remember how to do this... hmmm

humm dinger

You know that feeling of almost timeless-ness, between awake and asleep.... I have that now... i'm sitting at my desk in my office trying to not to fall asleep. It would be inevitable that someone would walk in and see me drooling on the keyboard.

First Post

Well this is m first post, so i guess i had better post something about myself.

Ive had one or two blogs before- on other sites, but i thought i would make a fresh start here.

So you may want to know a bit about me i guess.

My name is Nathan, i have 2 nicknames from different times in my life- Na-chan (from my college days) and Naytan (from my church days)

Well I'm 21, live in Canberra, Australia and work for the Federal Govt. booking conference rooms and filling up water jugs.

I'm short of stature and have great blue eyes, probably my best feature. 

I have eclectic tastes. 

Music wise i listen to pop music mainly, but i also venture into a bt of dance music, one of my favourite bands being Goldfrapp. My CD rack also includes musicals, opera and Japanese pop/rock. I also like some alternative stuff like Franz Ferdinand, MIA and The Music.

Litrature wise I'm a bit of a bookworm.

I read heaps of fantasy, my favourite authors being Robin Hobb, especially her live ship traders series. Raymond E. Fiest, Robert Jordan, Jennifer Fallon and all those high fantasy novels.

I have also come to be fond of the Tales of the City series by Armistead Maupin. Holding the Man is another fav of mine. 

I also read comics. I have some weird affinity with fantasy shoujo mangas, especially Clamp. Tsubasa is probably my fav, but i also keep up with Negima and Gakuen Alice. 

Teen titans is probably my fav western comic, but x-men is also a good read too.

I'm not much of a movie person, and usually find them a bit boring unless they're good quality. I'm more of a series person- especially cartoons. I like family guy, american dad, futurama, the simpsons... the usuals. I also love anime (mainly the old stuff) and cartoons like Kim Possible.  I've been getting into Heroes lately, thats pretty fun.

I have two older brothers, both married and a younger sister. I live with my Mum, sister and a border friend of Mums. I dont spend a great amount of time there... i spend most of it at my partners house, who im pretty cray over, ha ha.

Well I imagine that this blog will probably be used to publish a lot of random crap that i find on the net, in life, and all that stuff. Maybe some personal views, and probably a whole load of badly taken photos of stupid things i do... and dress ups i do.
