mikailborg: I can't even remember what event I was attending, but I must have been taking it seriously. (flying_gif)
Dug out the sketchpad Wednesday night, and worked on that character some more.

There's an Eddie Izzard joke where he drops into the role of the young Hitler in painting class, muttering to himself, "I can't get this tree to look right... wait... dammit... fine! I'll just have to kill everybody!"

That gives you an idea of how well the drawing was going.

Saturday night was a birthday party at the bowling alley for one of Rain's work friends. I knew a bunch of people there from her work, including the one guy who begged off and just played Final Fantasy Tactics all evening. I bowled well... which is not to say I got a high score, but that I actually hit pins most of the time and got the rare spare and strike. Next time we go for ourselves, I think we're putting the bumpers up. We had them for one game because of a youngster's presence, and the score sheet's a lot less embarrassing when there's no gutter balls.

Back to the gym today, finally. (The holidays played hell with our gym schedule.) I was hoping the new mini iPod would be a lot cheaper, because it'd make an excellent gym companion, but no joy.

In the last week, I've read Diane Duane, Frank Herbert, Tom Clancy, Robert Heinlein, and Arthur C. Clarke, among others. That, and [livejournal.com profile] madwriter's posts have reawakened my writing urge. We'll see if it goes anywhere... the nice thing about 15 years of abandoned projects is that I have a lot of source material to mine :)
