Obligatory "Wow, mathematics" - entry

I've been meaning to write this down for a while now - you see, this semester I am taking a course on acoustics. And there is a lot of mathematical stuff going on, fourier analysis and what not.   Anyway, the thing is, I am endlessly amazed how what we perceive as harmonic, as orderly, coincides with a certain mathematic description. Humans developed mathematics, so I guess it should not be that surprising, but still, that such an abstract concept (although self-supporting and self-consistent) c

SOON

only 1 more presentation tomorrow, then there'll be winter holidays, 3 weeks of relaxing... or more like, 2 weeks because the first one will be entirely devoted to creating & obtaining all the christmas presents. ._. Yay me, I guess.

things I hate unreasonably much, pt. I

I hate getting my hands injured. Everywhere else is okay, but hand injuries cause me a lot more discomfort than what would be reasonable. :/   The cause for this entry is obvious, I guess... last week I had an unpleasant encounter with the door of a tram, causing a delightful bruise on my left hand, right at the base between the index and middle finger. (I kind of stumbled into the rail/handle on the door. The older trams in my city are weird.) And now it's greenish/purplish/blueish, and annoys

oh COME ON now...

looks like I might fall ill right before a presentation again... last time it was a sore throat right on presentation day. Now tomorrow I'm due for another one, and am feeling very unwell again. Hopefully it will pass by...

ama :3

because tomorrow I have to give a seminar talk on asking questions efficiently... (and wow, I'm scared. but you should not be afraid of questions, I guess. So, ask away!)

adventures in cactus-land

so two days ago I somehow ended up with having 6 prickles from our opuntia in my side. I have no idea how they got there, as I hadn't been anywhere near it for at least a day before. It was really weird. ._.

down, downer, the downest

so far, this day has been pretty awful, I doubt it will get any better, and right now I have -zero- desire to actually meet up with friends even though we'd agreed on doing so today. And worst of all, it's been a long time since I've last felt so utterly, horribly alone.

2nd language woes

*typing happily* *suddenly something looks weird* *stares at the offending phrase for 5 minutes, ultimately decides to look it up* *phrase was perfectly alright all along*   rinse, repeat. :>

Dressing up on Halloween

is actually a lot harder than it should be when at least a third of your everyday wardrobe consists of Halloween-worthy stuff.   Plus most of my accessoires were from the Halloween section, assembled over several years ^^ So I fear I don't look all that different today, save for the hairband with bat wings and googly eyes. :3

oh yes

nothing's more fun than realizing that I had a massive crush on Roodaka when I was younger

art is hard

egh. Since I have no university courses on friday this semester, the idea was that I'd use those days to work on a comic project. Two weeks have passed, and all I've got so far is a page of lamenting about how I can't seem to find a story.   Okay, not completely true. Today I decided on telling the story of an old charcter of mine (you know, that guy). After all, it's pretty much your averabge hero's journey, so it's not like much could go wrong. =D   Also, maybe I'll get back into regular draw

today I learned about overtone singing. There's no turning back now.

9 years

I was 13 when I signed up on BZPower, and have been here ever since. That any of you who have known me since 2007 can still take me seriously is kind of a mystery to me, to be honest.   (as of writing this entry, the spinny is still the 8-year-thingie, though. Funny, I guess it's due to time zones or whatever. ^^ Assuming the date displayed in the profile as "member since" is correct, obviously.)

science fiction?

Since I am soon going to run out of shows to watch, I thought I'd ask you all about your favourite scifi-shows, and why you like them/what you like about them? Both older and recent shows are interesting to me.   As for me, I guess Stargate SG-1 is an all-time favourite. The characters were great, and despite the 10 seasons there were few "low" moments (although the last season was kind of odd and a certain character was revived a few times too many...). Otherwise, Star Trek. TNG and Voyager ran

so can things finally get better or nah?

next week activity should return to normal again, which is a good thing. I really, really want this thing done and over with. The planning of which courses to attend this semester has turned into a big fiasko. as I didn't get some spots in courses I'd like to do or that I need, and of course I had no backup plan, because in previous semesters everything used to work out so well... plus the upcoming exam tomorrow which will go either okay or terribly wrong.   Yesterday I had a complete meltdown b

Playing Morrowind

more like "let me organise and neatly arrange my ever-growing collection of armour and weapons which I'll never use"   Seriously. Ever since I... "acquired" a house I've spent a good part of ingame-time on that sort of stuff.

welp

got an exam on saturday. I am extremely scared, as it will either be rather normal or extremely weird. Theoretical Physics is a terribe thing. :/

Art catchup

I realized that I hadn't scanned/posted anything since idk, July? Which is a pity, because summer is always a -slightly- better time for art.     Elves. I draw so many elves, so here's only the most recent one, which is yesterday's warmup sketch. But! I like the lineweights on this one. Much better than my atrocious attempts from... 2009 or something     Obviously I don't draw only people. Though admittedly most of the time. ^^     And that's the original version of the drawing I have

fashion...

So according to a local newspaper, the next trend for this fall/winter is going to be - wait for it, it's truly outrageous, impossible to believe, an idea so novel it makes me waant to scream -   <.< >.>   Band t-shirts.   looks like for once I will be totally mainstream again! xD

FUN

Exactly one week after having returned home I come down with a sore throat. Oh wait, that's the thing - it's not fun. At all. :<

things that are needlessly complicated

Finding useful hair tutorials for long hair seems to be one of them. (long hair as in really long. End-of-spine length.) Most of the things I can find are for hair that is just beyond shoulder length - but at some point, the weight of the hair actually plays a large role in whether a hairstyle will survive the day or not... *sigh*   So in the highly unlikely case that one of you knows some good tutorials, feel free to let me know!

"it's for reference"

... I tell myself as I take a ton of stupid pictures of myself with my tablet.   Yep, totally for reference. No personal vanity here. Artistic reference all the way - wait, my eyes are pretty. Reference. Totally.     (fun part: I do use those pics for reference at some point. ^^ Edit: also felt like pointing out that the above entry is not on the serious side. :>)

out of the loop - into the loop

I am gone for one time, and G2 ends? Well that's great news.   Apart from that, how's everyone been? What else 'did I miss out on, how's summer been for all of you (as in, the 3? people who still read this blog) so far?

some Nokama design scribbles

Why here and not in GA? Because unfinished and unrefined, that's why. This is more sketchbook material than anything else. Plus, I haven't put anything art-related in here fore a while - studying for that one last exam before I can finally take a break took quite a toll on my motivation to do anything... :/       Just a small collage-thing of the most recent Nokama scribbles. I'm still looking for a good design that makes sense and fits in with my current art style; the sketches are sorted chro
