oh no

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

Late Night Scribbles #1

I spent the past hour on listening to You Are A Pirate by Alestorm. Their cover version is simply amazing, and to be honest, I can listen to this easier than to the original Dx   ~~~~~ Yep, I decided to really get this started. Today's doodle was done with a black ballpoint pen, and no, no sketching or pre-planning. Spontaneous working FTW! =D

And Now For Something Completely Different...

back from the day when I was allowed to play Computer games - some special pics of my custom sims 2 stuff! =D   The Star Trek shirts   The pale skin and red dress   And who spots the white eyes?   [i hope this is not against the rules...]

Minifigures! :3

.:{ }:. (click thumbnail for full pic :3)     So yesterday I went to the local Lego Store with my sister, and we built some minifigs... the three on the left are hers, the three on the right are mine. It was fun... we also got a small Galaxy Quest Squad set, because they're adorable. :3   (both are thumbnails)

Apparently I Am Not Feminine

Hahaha. Long story short:   I was checking the timetable of a friend in the hallway (at school), when I heard some people talking behind me, and suddenly someone said "He almost hit you!" to me. No voice I knew, so I just quickly glanced over my shoulder, and saw a group of children, maybe 11 years old. Yeah, so the child almost hit me, yay. Nothing too much out of the ordinary. So I just decided to ignore them, when I suddenly overheard a kid (I think the almost-attacker) go all like "Well at f

today is not a good day

but who would have guessed that intense fear of failure would impede my abilities to solve physics problems, thus leading to nothing but an increase in fear?

physics?

What is your favourite physics branch and why? (if you don't like physics, feel free to replace that with science in general =D)   As for me, it has to be material physics, or in general anything that involves low-dimensional stuff like graphene and carbon nanotubes, for the potential technical applications are super interesting (flexible, transparent electrodes! Awesome.) and I find the methods cool (strain experiments in material physics, for example).

So much for that

I guess I am sort of done. One or two small checks, then I'll send the whole thing to my supervisor. I just hope she's fast enough with the corrections so that I can re-revise it for one more time before handing it in. C: And that it's not completely horrible. We'll see.   Now there's only the second thing left to write. Woot.

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

vicious cycle, indeed

Didn't draw much because I was stressed. Got even more stressed because I did not draw much. Rinse, repeat. ...woe is me. the above thing was sketched today, a digital sketch for once. I'm still a lot better with traditional media, I guess.

equilibrium~ (aka life update aaaah)

Felt like I should explain my semi-absence once again... it boils down to two, maybe three factors, so I'll jump right into it:   1) the most important part is my aaaaaaah-pplication for a PhD position! Dunno if they'll choose me, but we'll see. I'll probably apply for another position or two, depends on when I get my nerves back. Seriously, those past two weeks were... not so fun. In the sense of stress, anxiety and fear of the future almost blocking me and causing some serious, serious headach

welp

might have to give a poster presentation tomorrow - or next week. idk. Anyway, comparing my poster to the other submissions, and with some distance in time, my own poster does not look as terrible as I first conceived it to be. :> (okay, it's kinda minimalistic. and maybe has less text than some of the others.)   oh yes, tomorrow's also the seminar I had to exit last time ^^ that's a different one, though. thankfully.   still, feeling kinda uneasy about tomorrow.

10 years!

I've been here for quite a while now, hm? Don't regret it, though. I really like this place.   Originally wanted to do something, but alas, Uni's got me busy, sadly.

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. :<

MoL

Just watching it again... Jaller's sacrifice is still one of the saddest moments in the movie.   Apart from that.. I mean yes, some of the dialogues are rather, uh, cheesy, but overall it's still among my favourites, and not only because of nostalgia. :3

Meh... [art]

Picture pretty much speaks for itself, I guess... like so often, this was sketched on the tube, and yeah, I s'pose I should try to get to doodling stuff more often, I mean, there are so many mistakes, much more than I'm supposed to make at this point... ah well.   'tis okay, though. Right? ^^'

"I know a solution for that and I have to show you NOW"

If I'm talking about myself I also sometimes refer to it as 'annoying physicist mode'. What 'annoying physicist mode' is, you ask? Having to answer any (easier) mathematical or physical question you come across because for once it is something you can answer, some problem you actually know how to solve or at least think you do. Or attempting to explain stuff you know you should know by now because really.   And it doesn't even matter whether the other person actually wants to hear it, because no

Argh

I haven't yet found a 100% fool-proof way of dealing with this terrible anxiety-ish feeling that builds up slowly over the course of a few hours. But, when it is connected to procrastinating stuff I am feeling scared of (small things like an email to order some components for the lab. I've never done anything like this before! This is some real grown-up, business-y stuff and that's kinda creepy.), tackling those issues sooner rather than later at least stops it from getting worse. :/   Because t

summary: mood

^ that was me throughout the entirety of march; there was so much new stuff to process when starting with my master thesis (sorta? idk it's all weird) that I had hardly any ressources left for anything creative, including drawing. Hence the small scribble you see above; that was pretty much the most I could actually get done. :/   It's better now, though. Also because of the easter break; those two weeks will be used for creative stuff as well as relaxing. c:

Feeling rebellious

Who me? Not really, no. I am just not overly fond of fashion rules and/or restrictions. Basically it boils down to stuff like a former friend going all   "Oh you want cyberloxx? Then you'll have to wear a full cyber outfit though." or similarly whenever I talked about potential ideas or projects. I just don't get the whole thinking in boxes. If someone wants to completely stick to a style, that's fine with me. If someone mixes different influences, that's suddenly a bad thing?   IMO alte
