My iPod and iTunes seem to be cooperating. My iPod never quite gets updated with the thousand or so songs it's missing, but since that's a bulk of data I can forgive it with my less than 2.0 USB connection. I'll get a message every now and then that my iPod is done updating and is OK to disconnect. What this means is that I need to restart my computer and reset my iPod a couple of times before trying to update the songs again. Each time, though, more and more songs are added on. It's slow going, but YAY it seems to be working. When my songs all 'vanished' from my iPod, I should've reset it multiple times before deciding to download the updater, iTunes upgrade, and then Restoring the blasted thing when none of that worked. ARGH. Oh well, I'm learning.
And the point of this post, as I'm trying not to surf too much or do too much that'll take the processor power away from iTunes and iPod: I'm on page three of 40 in the comic. Yes, it's slow going. But that's because I drew a fucking amazing castle, and a horse. Yes, you read right, a horse. I can't DO animals, but one this page I have that horse and then another one I need to draw. Later on I have to draw a ton of dog images, but I drew a HORSE.
I'm basking in that success temporarily before heading on to the next horse in the next panel. Hey, I'm learning stuff! (Bought a book on how to draw animals, but I DREW 'em!)
Page three. But it's all tough stuff --architecture and animals. There's a few easy pages coming up of primarily people talking, and by then I should be so tired the drawings will be amazing bishies. (Iollan is a bishie. High King Fionn is a bishie, contrary to his original psychotic character design. And Lugaidh looks eerily similar to various images of Kouga Yun's Cuchalain. They're all frickin' BISHONEN.) I draw prettier when I'm tired.
Probably because I'm not overthinking it; my exhaustion kicks in and my brain just wearily says,"Yo, let's just get this baby done! Move it!"
I'm listening to two Ayumi Hamasaki CDs for inspiration. Does anyone know how to disable the Japanese Copy-Protect on their domestic CDs? I desperately want to rip these albums to my iPod (once it's updated with all my old stuff.) I pop them into my computer and a special, on-disc player program starts up. It's impossible to play them in Windows Media and I think in iTunes. Huh. I don't actually know about iTunes' compatibility, so I'll have to check in a few hours after all the restarting it takes to update my iPod's music collection. Probably won't work, though. *sigh*
