The moment when you finally realise that you are indeed a year older. I’m 22, about all I’ll do for the next 8 years is stand around in bewilderment as my life happens around me. Reach 30, wonder where these kids have come from, why my alarm is going off at 6am and why are all my boxer shorts are grey.

Sometimes I think we judge the length of some text by the length of a text.
Some text, a text, two different things, or maybe a tweet. Less than 140 charas is a message, any more and it’s an “essay”. I’m amazed that people have enough of an attention span to follow one thought through from one end to the other.
Went to a flat party, used the word “cosmopolitan” in normal conversation.
3 people looked at me weird, one rolled their eyes, and the others were too drunk to know what was going on. So much for vocabulary.

interlands replied to your post: Okay, I’m probably gonna sound like a stuck up…
What’re you on about? She’s going to use it to take closeups of flowers, and fields, and stick a platitude in serif text on it, upload to tumblr like #120: “Sometimes I leave a space in the bed for you to come back to” and get 651968514695146 notes.

Finally managed to get myself a spare laptop charger
Left mine in Huddersfield like a noob. It was either buy a new one for a tenner or spend fifteen on a train ticket back up there. Ah well, it’s sorted now, going to hunt down a copy of the CS5 suite and get to work on more art things within the next coupla days. :)
Holy finger callus Batman!
Jeeez, been sewing for nearly nine straight hours, with little breaks for food and such. Wish to god I had a machine right now. Hakama are nearly done, and looking rather dashing at that. Tomorrow I need to attach some waistbands to it, hem a lining in the jacket and then put the pattern on the coat. Most of the really hard work is done though. I’ll upload pics...
Didn’t buy enough fabric, like a noob.
Luckily, two thrift stores later, I found one that sold polycotton. Also realised I can’t do clothing measurements in cm, only inches. Gah, am I from 1950 or something? Oh well, back to patternmaking. Hakama GO.

I can just leave holes in the seams of the hakama to get at my pockets. DUH.

Ugh, mid-piece paralysis again.
It’s where you’re really happy with how a piece is going, and by looking through those rose-tinted glasses you struggle to see anything to improve on, and even if you do you’re afraid you’ll ruin it. It’s what gets me every time.

Actually keep bubbling up with excitement about drawing today.
My project is fairly lacking I think, production slowed to a crawl this last couple of weeks, but enjoying this burst of productivity.

Two more hours...
..and I can go back to sleep.
I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with my body clock, although if the wonderful GP I saw was any indication, I should “stop being lazy and get up in the morning”. Simple as. Man, people sometimes say they have a bad sleep pattern, I’ve just spent the last two weeks living twenty eight hour days and trying to shift them in such a way...

Skyrim?! Ported for mac?!?!
Oh baby, yes.
But how to market it? “New Mod for Skyrim turns the UI font to helvetica”
They’ll be tripping over their coffee machines to get at this one.

Errrm, vagina? I think I’m doing this wrong.
Pickchoors?
I’m bored, nocturnal, and feel like drawing. Any suggestions? Leave me to my own devices and I’l be doing more pokemon. Ha. Edit: Wow, look at me murder the english language and formatting norms. No, I’m not going to fix it.

Entire Tamriel Landmass built into Skyrim.
Much conjecture, but the fact remains that both the landmasses of Cyrodiil and Morrowind have been built into Skyrim. Does this mean that bethesda plans to make DLC that enables access to at least parts of these regions? Wouldn’t put it past them at all. Just look at the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion. A full quarter size of Cyrodiil, with about 30 hours’ playtime at least.

Todays mission:
To buy a printer and a silly hat. Pics to follow. Of the hat, not the printer.

Nothing is scarier than a blank canvas. Seriously, it’s that moment when you pressure yourself into conceiving what you want to draw as a whole, not as a series of parts. That agonizing moment of indecision can ruin your creativity for the piece.
