Workout motivation?

If anyone has advice on how to motivate yourself to work out more, do let me know! At the moment I can only bring myself to do so once a week*, and that's not really satisfying at all. :/       *actually I do sport twice a week, but the other time is in a martial arts/self defense club (jujitsu. It's fun :3), with membership and all, so that's a different kind of thing for I can't really go all like "but I don't feeeeel like it today D: "

RPG logic

NPC: "You have to hurry, the fate of the world depends on your being on time!" Hero: "Alright!"   *does several irrelevant sidequests* *polishes chainmail* *buys a new helmet* *buys some healing potions* *checks every corner of the dungeon, explores every dead end* *opens all treasure chests on the way* *goes back to make sure they didn't miss out on anything*   *eventually gets to where they ought to have gone* *enemy apparently waited for several hours to commence* *finally saves the day*   NP

Neither a good nor bad day

I managed to spill coffe over my clothing, including dark grey-and-white striped pants. Woot. Thankfully I was able to remove most of it right on the spot, but still... And someone whom I had arranged a meeting with, to solve some problems for the exercise course, did not show up. So I was at uni for 3 hours solving some stuff on my own. On the positive side, I did manage to solve another problem or two... ah well.   Anyway, thank you all for the feedback on yesterday's blog entry! I'll see wh

stupid day

found out that I indeed failed that exam. Now I am scared of failing the next attempt as well, even though I know that with enough studying it should actually work out next time. I'm kinda annoyed and anxious now, nonetheless. :/

"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

5 tips for improving your drawing skills

Allow me to talk about something I actually believe I know something about - drawing. 'though as with most creative matters, there are many different aproaches that work for different people (or "artist types", if you prefer that), here's what I've done ever since I started drawing and which has always helped.   1. Draw something every day.   You will find that your visualizing skills as well as hand-eye(-mind) coordination require constant practise in order to function well, even on bad days. T

Hoogi's adventures in physics [Scribbles]

So I started sketching Hoogi next to my notes during lectures because he's simply so much fun to draw (I need to get more Mixels, they're adorable sets). Most of the time he is confused. Don't worry Hoogi, so am I...     At some point I might vectorize them so I have some reaction images, but until then... they'll remain here. ^^ (not in GA because they're really scribbly).

Might not be around tomorrow.

Might because timezones and stuff. Anyway, the thing is, tomorrow I'm at university pretty much all day long, and in the evening I'm also going to a party. Which is quite a novelty for me, as I've never been to anything larger than a friend's birthday party before...   Needless to say, I'm a bit nervous. And I know, I'm super-late with such things, but ah well, I always had super-legitimate and logical (sorta) as well as responsible (kind of?) reasons not to go in the past, however, they don't a

Guess who missed out on their BZPversary :3

The new spinny is something I'll have to get used to. D: But heeey, I'm getting better, this time I missed it only by a day! (so there's probably a time zone where it's still on time... maaybe?)   Anyway, it's been 7 years now. Awesome.     ... I still remember preparing the comic for the 2nd year spinny as though it was yesterday (obviously I was a huge fan of the borg at the time...) - I certainly had better time-management back then. And more free time =D But that's another story.   Oh yeah

Depressing day

And it's all my fault as well. Yay.   And to make sure this doesn't turn into vagueblogging, a small explanation:   I totally underestimated the amount of time, work, and additional research that would be needed for one of the exercise courses, thus have been able to solve only a single problem out of 9, I have no idea about the rest, am confused and stressed and just a -tiny- bit down. And of course the exercise course is tomorrow. Why wouldn't it be.   I'll do better next week. I have to.   On

Pfff... [Sims 2 woes]

I felt like pulling my hair out today... after all, Sims 2 decided to crash on me, repeatedly, in all neighbourhoods and everything... and nothing helps, no backup of the neighbourhood I spent the past year or two playing in works.   Now the last thing to try is let the game regenerate the 'hoods, and see whether these at least work. If so, great, no reinstall needed. And it's not the end of the world, as the most beloved Sims are saved externally, anyway. Still, it's frustrating and annoying an

...oh, niiice

I really like the way the new sets look; they all appear quite solid in design. Now back to arguing with siblings who buys which sets! xD Kidding.

4 quick tips for creating a comic series

Having attempted to run at least 2, and now getting back to keeping up with a third comic series, here's a small collection of things I find particularly helpful, useful, and should really stick to more often myself. C:     1. Do not wait for inspiration* Chase it with all ressources you have available - dragon, unicorn or racing car!   So you just started your comic series, and you're pumped, churning out ten new pieces over the course of a few days, and you totally want to, no, have to post t

Ye olde question

Do I scan the comic after each stage in case I just mess up a vital thing? Do I really have no faith in my abilities? :< (the answers are yes and, obviously, yes )   I can't be the only one, though, can I? D:

Awesome day

Woot. I also realized that the only colour I haven't got in huge marker form is ochre, which is a staple for colouring, 'specially hair and stuff. :<   E: okay, this is ridiculous. Now my ears are stinging too. I really don't want to fall ill! D:

This semester is going to be fun... as I'll take that classon Relativity and Cosmology. I'm kinda curious to see what it will be like, even though I'm scared that it might be hard/complicated. Ah well.
