(no subject)
I should make another LJ Icon or two, these ones are starting to get a bit stale...
Today was spent rummaging through my closet and rekindling my love for Magic: The Gathering, so far I've convinced Ryan to dust off his collection (he's coming by today), and at least...uh, somewhat piqued Scott's interest? Maybe? If not, I don't really mind using force.
My great-grandmother died yesterday morning, I wasn't sure (and I'm still not) how to feel about it. I haven't really been down about it, and I really don't feel the need to be, mourning isn't something I ever planned on doing in this event, and its not as if I didn't know it was coming (she had a stroke about a month ago, and was 96 years old when she passed). My mom feels more or less the same way, though I'm sure it affected it a lot more, being far closer to her than I was. If anything, I'm glad, I know that after her stroke life wasn't the best for her, being inable to do much of anything on her own and hardly being able to talk, and she made it vocal on more than one occasion that she'd much rather have passed on than endure hospitilization and paralysis.
Oh, and does anyone remember that one program that had a database of all the M:TG cards and allowed some decent online play? I doubt it, but it's worth a shot posting about it here, I remember I used it ages ago, but who knows if its still being supported /shrug.
Ahf, and I haven't worked out since Saturday, what is the world coming to?
I had time today, but after realizing that it was bordering 95 degrees all day, I didn't think that biking ten miles and lifting would've been the best idea, and my parents were out all night so I couldn't get them to take me later in the day...but ahh well, I guess I'm not feeling too too guilty.
I did manage to compile a list of a couple of healthy meals that I'd like to try out, considering all the free time I have this summer I figure becoming more fluent in the kitchen couldn't hurt. Made another list of some other silly things that I'd like to accomplish on a day to day basis, learning a new japanese phrase/word/construction, reading more often (Ryan let me borrow another book, not that I've finished Gunslinger yet, haven't picked it up since Saturday, ahh...), understanding more hogarth concepts, etc. I'd like to stick some more hardcore tasks on the list, like one finished lineart every day, but, uh...I think I'll start off slowly. As long as I'm still drawing whenever I get the chance and not wasting any of my time I'm still improving, but, ahh, doing anything to the point of even semi-completion is still such a huge hurdle for me, and I'll never understand why. I'm not after understanding it though, as long as I can overcome I could care less as to the reason why.
( oh, and to certain persons that feel the need to call my cell phone at 11:30 at night and leave a tear laden message, please refrain. Granted, I didn't listen to the whole thing, but if there's something that you'd like to talk to me about I'll gladly have a normal conversation with you, however, if you try and dump your problems on me and consequently expect me to fix everything right up with a couple of words stringed together in a neat fashion, you've got the wrong guy. I don't respond well to people slamming their problems on me, if anything I find it annoying, because most of the time there's nothing I can say or do that might remedy the situation you find yourself in, I'm a terrible shrink. Now, if you think that my LJ entry pertained to you, I won't say that it didn't to some degree, but you shouldn't feel as if you're the brunt of my anger wave. I've felt that way about most people I've known since I started High School, and was mostly referring to how I've felt for the past 4 years as opposed to the month or so that I've known you, it's just finally gotten to the point that if I kept it in any longer and at allowed it to continue I wouldn't be happy with myself or my life, so I'm looking to change. That doesn't mean you have to, I never asked you to.)
Lola Ray is so fecking good, everyone needs to go out and download Automatic Girl. I'll stick it on YouSendIt if I find the motivation sometime tomorrow.
