2619: Rock Me Gently
I am a bit headachy at the moment--they're building a house up there [I think it's those scaffolding guys, but if so, they're incredibly inconsiderate doing it until 10p!], and the overloud telly/music is going again. I seriously need to get out for today.
Need a new lake. Almost anywhere else is too crowded by now to be really photogenic.
I am about 1/3 done with that complicated pic I mentioned, which is mostly due to the lower left corner pissing me off. Also, I've been distracted since, as Rise of the Videogame accurately described, it's fun playing a so-called "God Game" like Neojank and building my own world [I've finally decided to move my Neohome from the "kinda fruity for my style" Faerieland* to Darigan Citadel, now that I have some NP and time].
*It was the coolest one available at the time =/ which says something about when I built it.
At least, compared to fussing with lines that won't erase because even pressing lightly means pressing =/ I should just scratch it all out really quick and fix it up in Frodoshop, but I need the disciplinary [ha!] practice.
Fortunately I'm not yet to where something like Second Life appeals to me at all [though that, especially because I can't handle the awkward 3D exploration in games], but I think it's neat having what amounts to paper dolls and dollhouses in a virtual environment where it not only doesn't take up any physical space but is also an easy way to show off what I've done to others [also as Rise described, the realness of interaction in virtual worlds being just as real in our minds as the "real" interaction of everyday life]. Maybe I'm not "doing" anything with myself this way, but neither am I when playing other games, or arranging furniture in my actual house--besides to keep things out of the walk space--or reading web comics or doing any of most activities not essential to life. It also helps me explore composition, which is good for my doing layouts and clothing design, if you still aren't convinced and think I should stop loafing because you want to see things out of me and aren't concerned about the time I expend to show you five seconds of something to look at.
Or... that.
Boy, I hope the fandom hasn't made me cynical or anything ¬_¬You had FIVE riddles yesterday! I get today off.
*loaf*
Slowly [very slowly] reading A Scanner Darkly. Thesis so far seems to hold. =( Bored shitless even though it was a good movie. I'm rewording it just to make it clearer what I mean in either case [book first or movie first]: The pace of one sets the expected pace for the other, and because books and movies have very different paces, the experience is vastly different between the two to the point of even making the second experience poorer for it.
For me, anyway. I haven't gotten much in the way of feedback from any of y'all to tell whether it holds.
Also, career on track = yay! I can relax until after Christmas, which is a load off my mind. [If I oversleep, I won't feel as bad for not hearing the phone ring.]
