...my last blog entry is from April? That's a tragedy. :/ Anyway, where have I been - mostly uni stuff, my thesis is taking up a huge part of my time. Also, I don't really know what to talk about, so, thus the silence. I am sorry. (heck, over the course of the semester I even got up earlier than I normally woukd so I coukd cram in some time for solving exercises for that one course because time would not suffice otherwise. There really was a lot to do. :/) But now with the holidays coming up
Because I should report on positive things too, I guess. (don't expect anything huge, though. ^^') The anxiety attacks seem to be containd again for the moment, that's a real relief. Stress levels are slowly dropping again too, as indicated by my dreams returning to their more vibrant state (for some reason, those two things are connected. don't ask me why.) Also, I am beginning to feel more comfortable within my own skin again, so those diet changes* surely did a thing, finally. (I had gai
I've never, ever done one of these things in all the time I've been a member of this site. Always wanted to, though. So, now. Ask and ye shall receive (answers).
Imaginary (also complex) numbers will never cease to amaze me; they're non-existant, yet come in handy when describing oscillating stuff and other real things. ^^ Apart from that, you don't happyn* to know any math puns, do you? 8D *should have been 'happen' but I love the typo. xD Also I'm totally bad at writing about stuff like this
would anyone be interested in a sketchbook tour (or 30? I have so many of those...)? Because I am sort of contemplating starting a youtube channel or something later this year (once I am finally settled into my PhD studies - things are looking good!)...
There I was, innocently browsing GD, when I suddenly came across this one revived topic. 6 years old. And I had posted in it. :> Nothing ever tops being confronted with your way younger self! But I guess I mean that in a more positive way than one might assume. After all, it's nice to see that my English has actually improved a lot over the years. I've learned to express my ideas more clearly (seriously, younger self, get to the point already!). Use shorter sentences sometimes. Opinion-wi
Of course it all went differently than expected: at the beginning of the course, the professor came in and asked for 'the three guys of the friday group to come to his office' (not sure if 'guys' is the proper translation in this context, though. maybe "gentlemen" would be better, although that doesn't sound right either. Anyway.) where they would discuss things. I honestly have no idea what he said to them, but then they came back into the room, and the course proceeded as usual, at least the
See, for the past weeks I've had my fair share of trouble with the group in this semester's lab course (mainly being dealt/assigned far too much work for the protocols by "colleagues", as well as not getting along with one of the other students who is not at all ready to shift parts or come to a compromise in any way; or to put it short, runs me over with a rhethoric lawnmover whenever I attempt to communicate that there are problems.). Today I finally managed to talk to the professor about it,
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!)
aka I am currently fiddling around with a fractal generator and it's glorious. I mean, look at it. I could spend hours with those things. Also, at this point I am only still learning how to use the generator effectively, and I am loving the results already.
Figured I might as well post it here also. It's been a while since I've last drawn something even remotely Bionicle-related, so it's been a fun change. (also, including actual clothing instead of just random clothing-like elements? that's almost a first. Almost. I did do it back in 2009, but that's sooooo long ago...)
Ah yes, and in case you're wondering what EOD is, check this out. (spoiler: it's a game)
The first one's there already? Why yes, it is. I hope you've been anticipating this as much as I have... And before we start, I would like to thank Dwannyfor taking the time to put up with me and my slight scatterbrained-ness, and all those I've pestered with pms. ^^' So without any further ado, here's the interview! 1. When and why did you start drawing? I really started drawing when I was three, drawing pirates, dinosaurs and the like. After a while, I realised that people liked what I
... okay, to be fair, apart from "elves are just very cool and I love pointy ears"
Thing is, there is something about them beiong much older than they look that is just relatable in a way. Idk. I too, often, feel older than I probably should at this point (or maybe the times are jusut moving far too fast for me to keep up these days, idk), yet people tend to estimate my age to be younger than it is. (the only time when that wasn't the case was when I was stressed out of my mind. Even got a
Getting rid of them is surprisingly hard. So is changing eating habits. :/ Something of the sort is necessary though, because at the current rate of developments I can see the destination of the travel, and that's.... not where I'd like to be. In more clear words: I really need to lose weight. Got a plan figured out though, and I'm sticking to it. Still, it's a bit of an annoying topic for me. I mean no, I don't think I'm ugly or anything, and yes, I've always been on the heavier side, but this
Dunno about you people, but I really miss the heydays of BZPower (or rather, the way it was around 2008 when I joined, which as far as I've heard wasn't even the 'real' heyday??), when this place was just buzzing with activity... Nostalgia is strong today. :/
Is it just me, or do people post a lot in topics/blog entries that are dramatic/have to do with a scandal/are disturbing/whatever ?
Honestly, I don't understand. If I told ya that I'm now able to play "This land is your land" on the guitar (what is true, by the way), would you be as interested as if I wrote something about falling in love with a boy at my school (What is not true, thank Mata Nui)?
Yo all! It's been a while, and tbh I should have probably logged into this account much sooner than I did... anyway, just wanted to let you know I haven't given up on this place! Point is, this doctorate thing is scaring me more than it should, and I have spent the last 2 months spiralling from one crisis into the next, hence my silence. I'm still alive, tho. (just been banished into the shadow realm, so to speak. :] ) ... man I missed this place. Is anyone still around? So what's new... I
I have sort of a problem with modern video games, especially those from the last... idk, 2 years. The graphics. In many cases, the modelling, texturing etc on human characters have improved to a point where on a still image, it would be hard to tell them from reality. But the movement is usually still not that realistic. (still, it's not as bad as the 'Polar Express' was back when.) Admittedly, I haven't played any games newer than from 2011, but I watched some playthroughs, and looked at prev
I refuse to call it resolutions, because these always sound like hollow promises to me. So this year I shall attempt the novel approach of formulating things in a 'quest log' of sorts: Keep up the more-or-less daily drawing regime. Finish the sketchbook that was started on the 4th of january. Worry less, crochet more. Participate more on BZPower, including blog entries. Less complaining about being weak and more sports instead. And these are just the most important parts. In retrospect,
