C'était mon anniversaire pour ce site d'internet il y a deux jours, mais j'ai oublié. Alors, Happy Anniversary to this web-site. I hope to fill it with even more amazing images and develop my manipulation skills! I have, as of late, been playing around on Microsoft Photo Editor, which is a highly limited program, but is all my time can afford to try and figure out!

So, I'm looking forward to some new work and images, and I hope you are too!

A bientôt, Asharhi-Leigh

But it's great fun, and that's the point!

Smiles and joy all around because I officially have a new camera!

Which is amazingly awesome and trumps my camera phone which most of my gallery is off (Though I must admit, it's a damn good camera phone!)

Well, wish me good luck! And let's hope it works alright!

Haven't written a journal for a while, so I thought I'd fix that.

Thinking about it, I've only written 2, but that's ok

I've just finished watching the BBC production of King Lear and it was fantastic! I always hear people complaining about Shakespeare and the difficulty of his language, but I find his work quite interesting and clever, and just so intriguing and able to draw me in.

So watching Lear has been great!

I though the peformances were amazing by the actors, especially King Lear and Edgar, Gloucester's legitimate son.

They were consistant and enthralling - not to say that the other actors were not good, as they were all amazing, but I found that there was a special quality to, or even another dimension to, those two characters, as played by Michael Hordern and Anton Lesser, respectively.

I just found my need to continue watching the play amusing, though it shows me how I've come to appreciate Shakespeare and understand it at a greater level. Sounds familiar, no?

Well, my rantings of Lear are all well and done, and I will go and marvel at it more now, but this ramble has come to an end, and as such, goodnight!
