Well, I got over a little bit of my mental block when it comes to creativity. I managed to pound out a picture last night. Well, actually early Thursday morning.
I got home from work a little after midnight as usual, and realized I was going to enter a contest over on deviantArt. The deadline for the contest was May 1st. Thursday! So, I managed to get the black & white raw sketch done by 3:00 a.m.! I spent a good chunk of Thursday afternoon doing the colors.
The theme of the contest was: I'm the Noisy Reaper. We were to draw ourselves as a reaper, as in the Grim Reaper. Well, I did my best and ended up being the only person to enter the contest. I bust my arse to get it done for by the deadline just to find out that I was the only one. *sigh* I don't know what, if any, prize I'll get. I don't really care. I just had fun doing it!
Here it is: Clicky!!!
*^*^*^*^*
Well, I did play around with my digital camera the other night and did some video recording. I have about a minute or so of me trying to get my cat to do something. My camera has a microphone in it, so there's sound for it. So, my sideways video of my cat has a soundtrack... of what was on TV at the time! I think it was a show about earthquakes. Doesn't fit in with the cat at all.
Since the computer is being a poop tonight, I will be going now. I have to work all weekend as usual. I'm so sick of having to ask for weekend nights off. Arrgh.
Laters!
I had a 20 oz. bottle of Coke and a can of Coke tonight. I think I may be getting wired now.
Whee!!!
Not a good thing to have a caffeine buzz this time of night. I won't get to sleep once I get home.
I'm feeling a bit frustrated right now. I haven't been able to draw, write or anything lately. I don't know what the problem is. I don't think I feel stressed out by anything. I just seem to be in a huge slump when it comes to doing something that requires thinking. My attempts to learn Japanese have become exercises in futility. I get nowhere on any of it, it seems. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do to get motivated again?
Oh, well... time to find something interesting to do. Like crack open the Japanese textbook next to me and start into it. I searched through several boxes in the attic and basement to find the damn thing, I should at least try to do something with it, right?
Laters!
Kinda busy.
Wanna go home.
That's normal.
*sigh*
I guess that's probably a result of having pretty much skipped lunch today. I just didn't feel like eating anything for lunch today. I had a piece of cheese and some yogurt. That's all. By the time supper rolled around, I was pretty hungry. Had a goodly amount of spaghetti. Now it's almost 10:30 pm and I'm hungry again. *sigh*
Well, the last of three days off is coming to a close. It sucks. I am seriously not looking forward to going to work tomorrow. We're overbooked! Fortunately, one of the other girls is coming in to work with me so I won't be stuck with the psycho all night by myself. I just wish I had someone coming in to work with me on Saturday, but I don't, so Saturday will really suck. I need a different job. Any offers?
So... what did I accomplish on my days off? My Do List for the three days was a little longer than the one I did for last week. I didn't get all of it done. A few of them were avoided. I don't know why, but recently I find it hard to get motivated to write or draw. It's really sad. I think my problems with work have caused me to get easily frustrated with myself and things I normally do. I think I have to do some serious thinking about priorities again. *sigh*
That's about it for me tonight. I think I'll go get a frozen fruit bar and eat that.
Laters!
Well, another day off has almost come to a close. It was really nice outside again. I worked at my Japanese half-heartedly this afternoon for a while until I got incredibly frustrated and couldn't stop yawning. Then I walked down to the post office. That didn't entirely wake me up at all, even though the wind was really strong and I got sand-blasted a couple times. Then my brother woke up and we took a walk around town for a while before supper.
So, now I am here, playing around online and wondering what to do next. I'm glad people enjoyed my picture of the Walgreens sign. It was actually a really nice day out Saturday. The temperature was probably in the mid to upper 60s. I just found the sign hilarious and was really happy that I keep my digital camera in my purse.
Well, that's about it for me tonight. One more day off left and then back to heck. Argh.
Laters!
