I'm slowly recovering from my hard disk tragedy...
I'm browsing my PC for the crap-ton of redundant files that I have to see if I have left some important stuff in it. Thankfully, I got a few stored in here. After all, my external hard disk was supposed to be a back-up of my PC...
While it is unfortunate that a couple of personal files are gone, I am happy to note that it was only recently that I started using that external drive as a file storage. I blame my movie and anime downloads... They sure can eat up space!
Well, it's a tiresome task. I may be shaken up, and broken... but I ain't beaten.
I am trying my best to recall my files - all 300G of it... =-=, and downloading stuff that I can download...
Remembering my files brings a pang to my heart. I know that there are some that I will no longer get back.
I'm a pack rat of files, so I guess that's just my pack rat mentality kicking in...
Damn it.
Technology failed me today, and I paid the price heavily.
My 320G external hard disk suddenly just stopped being recognized by the PC earlier today. It was working fine in the morning, but when I attached it again in the af...

I haven't been able to work on any art-related stuff in a while.
I came to a point where I was frustrated at the lack of ideas and skill from my part.
Today was sort of different.
My experimentation and trial allowed me to complete this:
I had fun making it as I tried my best to make it burn.
If you like to burn stuff, then I hope you like this, as well. XD
I also managed to make some crappy still life. I tried drawing a bunch of fruits from memory. Unfortunately, I think I left the file at work (heh, accidentally typed fire, instead of file there...), so I guess I'll have to show my work on Monday.
I researched some digital still life works, and it certainly made me feel inferior. The glossy details of their work, compared to my simple rendering methods made me feel like a joke. But, not that down as to not feel challenged. I hope I can find more techniques to get an eye for these details, and manage to transfer them to my works.
Well, that's it for now. I hope you get a chance to view my work. See you around.
I must be getting rusty with the post-writing thing...
I seem to be able to compose a blog post in my head, and be able to either finish it up or end it halfway, but when I manage to get in front of the computer... bits and pieces are lost in the conversion. I must be getting old... that or I'm just too tired.
Anyway, I watched an episode of Afro Samurai today, and I was amazed. Now, first off, this ain't something for the faint of heart. This is a brutal and violent samurai show - with an afro. hahahaha... Ehem... so expect a lot of gore, human parts flying off and stuff. Anyway, the animation style caught my attention, with the high-speed action shifts in perspective and various shots emphasizing the character's skill.
The plot is one of revenge. His father was once the number one swordsman in the world. The number two swordsman challenged him to a duel to the death, and his father lost. Our little afro samurai saw his dad get his head chopped off right in front of him. Now, he wants to get his revenge on the guy who did it. Well, I'm just off to episode two, so I don't have much.
Well, that's it for now. See you around!
I obtained the wi-fi password for the city library which is just a few steps away from the office. Now, I may not have a laptop to haul around, but at least I can use my DS for mobile browsing which I leech off the library's access.
I doubt I'll be on-line a lot. This just means I'll be taking a longer time when I'm out taking a walk...
Well, I'm tired, so I guess I better hit the hay.
See you around.
