What to say, what to say.
Well, obviously Ive been slacking at posting in my blog, though Im not sure that slacking is the right word. Since I had surgery on my mouth in late January Ive been playing a fun game of catch-up while not honestly giving a shit. Mix that with a healthy dose of trying to learn things that I actually do want to learn in my free time and fiddling around in Fallen Earth, and yeah. No blog updates and no new writings.
Heck, I havent even had much time for my art, but on the other hand, the work that Im learning now [UDK being an example] will allow me to tell my stories in a much more dynamic way assuming that I get to that level. This will be a plus since I dont think my drawing ability is really up to snuff. I enjoy sketching out tribal designs, but mush past that and we get into pretty retched looking sketches. Granted, it might be kinda interesting to read a comic in which even the characters are drawn in a tribal/flamey way, but I dont really want my work to be about aesthetics, at least not in a sense of trying to appear to be making some kind of existentialist statement.
Example comic and tribal
To practice my sound work, Ive been putting together the weekend mash-ups for the podcast The Morning Stream. Its been a little while since Ive been on the podcasting scene, so its kinda nice to be back in it in one way or another. Of course the downside of working on these mash-ups is that I want to be podcasting again ^__^;
As for my writing, Im still working on my giant ethics paper countering Singers early work. Im probably going to self publish it after I let a few of the ethicists that I happen to know go over it and/or tear it to shreds. Of course, writing on the paper isnt helping me solve my own ethical dilemmas, but I have the suspicion that it will simply take a mixture of time and circumstance to help me reach any conclusions in that area.
Side notes:
1) I think Ill finally get around to getting the tattoo that Ive got drawn up. If I do, Ill be sure to post both pics of it on the paper and on my back.
2) Im thinking about picking up a wood pipe. Maybe I should go to the local smoke shop and see if they have any starter models. Ive seen some stuff on Amazon and the like, but the cheaper ones all look like they were made in china, and have reviews saying they taste like plastic. I know it sounds funny, but Ive been actively trying to keep from buying anything made there anyways. I dont feel ethical buying products made by. Well I actually think Ill leave that one alone. I just dont feel ethically comfortable.
