Personal Challenge, day 0/3

Stealing a few minutes from Yojimbo to put down a few words.

I'm slowly easing myself into a new rhythm, or at least trying to. Study before noon, yoga at 3, draw after 6, post at midnight. I'm going to try to hold myself to that for three days, starting Friday. (Yes! I'm sleeping mostly-normal hours now!)


Today fell squarely into the category of "normal with internet".

Strangely anime epic dreams last night, and they'd be good inspiration if I could remember more of them. Bits were actually too scary for me to want to explore deeply (as in, I wouldn't write it), but nothing nightmarish. Good because Reagan wasn't there when I woke up (running car-errands).

I found the Tick live action series on Netflix, and it is everything I want out of TV. Brilliant writing, witty, and on FOX, which means it was canceled after 8 episodes. I watched that while drawing, and Yakitate! Japan while doing milder stuff. Crackpot anime! I love all the word-play even if I don't grok it, and there are many hilarious bits. Glad there's a lot of it.

Slow drawing is slow. Getting my sea-fingers back.

The more "interesting" parts of life have happened in previous days. Car trouble and budget-searching have meant needing to give up things that I've been looking forward to and that also cost money. Main effect: Reagan going to SDCC without me. :(

Man Toshiro Mifune is really beat up right now.

In cheerier news, I got The Alchemist audio book free from iTunes last week, and finished it a couple days ago. Loved every bit of it, and it challenges me to think in new ways. The book arrived to my possession, too, courtesy of Draco. I'm very happy to have both. The guy who reads the audiobook is good, but some of his voices are funny.

And an oldish sketch:
