Waiting...

The server my home area is on (where I do my computer work) is getting rebooted and some new hardware put in so I'm waiting...

That was so last week, so I'm actually finishing this blog post today...

So Pooks' is getting job options from clients, I'm still working on my stuff, and I'm back to playing WoW like a mad man. Part of that is that I've made two characters and I had been using them both for seperate professions ( mining& blacksmithing for one and enchanting and tailoring for the other...) hmmm might need another blog for me to just talk about WoW lol.

Anyway I made some WoW changes that are really taking up time.

I have been spending time building scenes for my 3D renders. That takes time in setting things up. The are like lego's that never quite snap together just right. It makes it time consuming but hopefully having it done will mean I don't have to do it again. It's also failry easy to work with scenes instead of figures b/c scenes have much lower polygon counts and so are easier for the computer to handle and so easier for me to put together quickly.

I've been thinking about taking up guitar again, but doing that will mean I have less time for my other activities. Pooks and I joke that I get a new "hobby" every week and stick with it for a few days before jumping to the next one. Even today I caught myself thinking that I could make an illustrated Book of Hours, before saying "No" to myself. It's annoying sometimes... It makes me feel un-focused.

With the renderings I have a slightly different problem in that I'm not quite sure what to say. So It's hard to make a comic book when I have no story. I can think of situations just fine, but an overall combining "story-arc" has been much harder to think of. I'm also just not sure of how far to go with it or what I want to happen to the characters.

... to jump back a little to being un-focused (except seemingly about WoW) I think part of it is that I need a little more 'life' in my life. I just do work and home. I tutor physics on the side, but I am seeing that I need a little more. It used to be church for me, but since I haven't been recently, that's left a hole I need to fill in a more positive way. Probably with a new hobby ;-)

Just a placeholder...

This is just a place holder post until I get something better to say.

Blah.

Waiting on Dad's computer parts, which have shipped, but won't get here until Thurs. or Fri.

I talked with my neighbor last night. Turns out a guy down the street put his son out of the house on Sunday so he could spend fathers day with his new son and new wife... all day long.

Next time I see him just hanging around his house with no place to go I'll invite him over. We can play Xbox. I'll show him how to play halo.

Good fathers are a rare thing. I am thankful and grateful that God gave me mine. He is a wonderful man and really inspires me. I am proud that he is my father.

New Shoes

I got in my new Timberland Black boots with Navy Blue laces!

Very Nice!

Been busy recently... or maybe just get a lot of interruptions

I'm still here, just haven't had a chance where I wanted to write for a while. Pooks and I are doing good and enjoying 7 months of marriage. Very nice.

I got a book called "Understanding Comics" by Scott Mcleod, that is very good. It present, in comic book form no-less, a detailed analysis of what makes a comic book and how meanings are presented via pictures and words and then a little bit into how they are "read" by the mind. I highly recommend it to any writer or artist for the interpretation of comics as art and a communications medium.

crap gotta go run and do stuff. more later....
