DAT PLAID. If I ever save up enough of a dowry to get married, it's gonna be in one of those.

So it's crunch time for assignments which means that I'm suddenly spending a lot more time on Facebook and drawing. Sadly I have run out of pages in my sketchpad so now it's mostly the former. I'm working on a story that I have no idea how to tackle for my Research subject that involves art and censorship. I was going to go with the angle of how 15 year old virgin females can be classified as pedos due to Australia's shitty laws that criminalize shota and the like, but I dunno. The most interesting thing I found in my research was the difference between rates of child sexual abuse between Japan and Australia. We have more cases even though we don't have loli-con on our shelves, which is possible to tie in with the recent press coverage of Akihabara as the land of CP and some other stuff. I don't know how I'm going to get a strong story out of it though.

As for Sydney, it's still on the cards. My professor offered to pay for me out of his own pocket after I voiced my disappointment, but that'd just make me feel indebted. Too bad I'm not in touch with the people who I used to draw for, I coulda gotten some cash out of them for some doodles. WILL PHOTOSHOP FOR FLIGHTS ;_;
