got a migraine.
feels like someone is kicking the base of my skull in.
it’s making me feel like I want to toss my cookies.
took some meds… it’s like I didn’t take anything at all.
it sucks.
I’m going to bed.
good night.
So the Olympics came and went. Did you watch them? Did you care? When ever the Olympics come around I generally figure I won’t really care and yet I find myself watching them in my evenings. I really enjoy watching the athletes compete. I root for Canada of course but mostly I’m just happy to watch and not really care who’s going to win. These people train more then I can imagine for these events so when it’s finally time to watch the game it’s really something to see.
I know people always down play the games and bring up the drama, drugs and judges. It doesn’t happen every time and it’s a shame that they have to ruin it for the other athletes. Actually, with these games I didn’t see much of it at all. Except for the Chinese gymnasts being under the age limit. Did I miss any other controversial stories?
Well, Canada didn’t come out tops. Some say we had a pretty sad showing but we did bring home our third highest number of medals. That’s not bad eh? I really did enjoy the China games this year and I’m really looking forward to the ones in BC in two years.
So did you watch and enjoy? Not care? Or feel the games are nothing but a political “mine is bigger than yours” event and not worth your time.
My allergies.
In the spring time I get just a sample… just a taste of what I’m going to get in the fall/late summer. And, right on schedule, the sneezing has begun. From now until the first frost I will be a sneezing, sniffing, red eyed treat.
Already my eyes have begun to itch. If I rub them even the slightest, it’s all down hill. They puff up and water like mad, and then just to insult me more, the itch factor jumps up about 10 times it was. I’ll get in to sneezing fits where I’ll just do big, full sneezes one on top of each other. Sometimes 10 or more. When I’m done having my sneeze attack I’m left tired, over heated and unbelievably hungry. It sucks so much. I usually carry a full box of Kleenex with me in my bag because those little travel sized are a joke to me.
I need to get allergy shots. I should talk to my doctor about getting them. I actually don’t know anyone with allergies as bad a I have them. I actually have to take twice the allergy meds that is suggested (doc said it was okay because I’m so bad) just to feel normal. Ugh…
…and that’s why I love winter.
So tonight we where feeling munchy, but we didn’t beak out the usual snacks. We dusted off our hot air popper for some popcorn. I forgot how good air popped corn is. ^_^
My wife used to be big on her microwave popcorn but I always found it too salty. So much some times I couldn’t eat it. Plus I never was cared for the “butter” flavor. I remember my Dad making popcorn in his air popper ever Saturday when I was a kid with real melted butter and salt… mmmmm… and it has to be real butter because margarine just makes soggy popcorn. Yuck. >_< Those are good memories.
So one year I was stumped on a gift for my wife for Christmas. I saw a popper for $15 bucks and I thought… why not. She opened up and had a look on her face like… you bought me popper? Well the first time we used it she fell in love with it and now we don’t buy microwave crap any more.
So that’s my popcorn story. Do you have one? Or story about some other favorite snack?
I have a wish to see my art in print. In an art book somewhere. I wish I could have a piece of my art in the I am 8-Bit art gallery or be asked to be in an art book that would be sold in stores and beside other artists. Udon’s new Street Fighter art book has a lot of people in it from DA (looks at Miu ^_^) and I so would have loved to be in that. There’s just something about being among other professional artists in a bound book sold in a shop that sounds so great.
I really shouldn’t complain. I mean, I work in games so my art is being viewed by anyone that buy or downloads something that I’ve worked on. And I’ve been interviewed for a book on pixel design and my opinion on the 2D in todays game industry (with some of my pixel art as samples) and I’ve talked at a game summit on the topic of pixel art in and out of games. But now I’ve set my sites on being in an art book. I will do it one day I tells ya. ( >.<)9
I never used to be this guy or have goals like this. I was happy to be the grunt worker with no problems, but now I set goals for myself and so far I’ve met what I want to do with my art career. Being in an art book is my next big step.
Wish me luck ^_^
How much music/shows/movies/games/stuff do you download? Me? I usually do a little here and there. I don’t download games… well… I don’t download normal PC games. I do download my share of hentai games though and I have a stoopd amount of MAME games (4 DVD’s worth) which I use for reference in my own work. I also download lots of hentai magazines/manga from time to time. Again, depends on my mood. I torrent shows that I’ve missed on TV. I’ll download a movie every now and then but hardly ever. My wife does music for the van. I think that’s about it.
Over all, I don’t think I download too much. I know it’s bad and even doing it a little bit isn’t an excuse. How about you? Do you download everything you get your hands on? Do you have stacks and stacks of DVD’s you’ll never watch? Or you more honest then the day is long and would never do such a thing ^_^
