I'm just curious, because mine is a mess!
I love to draw and paint and write, but I keep making up excuses not to sit at the desk!

For instance, I browse the Internet brainlessly, looking up the most stupid stuff I can think of.
I spend hours preparing playlists for when I'm painting - I never get to that stage.
If I turn on the telly and this documentary about the secret sex life of ants is on Discovery, I watch it.
If I know I'm going to be interrupted, I don't pick up my pen.
I find an afternoon nap really rewarding.
It's very common to be out and about, or at work, and get hit by a sudden wave of inspiration... but when I get home I don't do anything about it.
Right now I'm writing this journal just to procrastinate my art work a bit more!

The funny thing is, when I actually roll up my sleeves and get to it, I adore it! There's definitely something wrong with me!

Anyway, I'd like to hear about you! Do you get lazy like I do? Do you wake up in the middle of the night with a spectacular idea? (and then fail to write it down and forget about it the next morning). Do you listen to music while you're creating your art? Do you start and finish a piece in one go, until your hands bleed? Or can you control the rush to see it done and really take your time on the details? What awakes your creativity?

Calling all Assassins, Templars and rabid fans!

This just in from the latest journal of

Let's get to it! Bloody hell, we're not been beaten by Borderlands! Or any other game, for that matter. AC rules and that's the end of it!

Obviously I've been playing Assassin's Creed...

I haven't finished the game yet, so please, no spoilers in your comments! I'm just messing around, doing the secondary missions, trying to stretch it for as long as I can!

Now, our man Connor... You gotta love him! His naiveté always makes me smile, the poor thing. There are no grey areas, he's always so sure of what's right and wrong... Even if that means walking into a place full of strangers - and potential enemies - grabbing one by the neck and screaming for Charles Lee!

But honestly, my favourite character is Haytham. Love the wicked bastard! I'm reading Oliver Bowden's "Forsaken" - it's certainly not Oscar Wilde and his attempts to sound British are rather pathetic , but so far the story is focused on Haytham and that makes me like Master Kenway even more. He's sarcastic, arrogant and full of it, what's not to like?

As for the soundtrack, is nothing short of epic! I loved Jesper Kyd creations in previous games and I think his collaboration with Lorne Balfe for "Revelations" was simply brilliant. Apparently this time Balfe is flying solo and did one hell of a job! This main theme is just mental! Like someone said on Tumblr, "everytime I hear this sh*t I just want to climb trees and fight for freedom"!

Is it the best AC game so far? I don't know. Considering the characters, I worship Altaïr. Ezio was this flamboyant buffoon that I never took very seriously. He made me laugh, tough. And "Revelations" made me cry my eyes out. As for Connor, he sure has potential...

My thoughts on Assassin's Creed III so far... Carry on cracking skulls with your tomahawk...
