    can barely hear the birds chirps

    The power amp noise will mask the screams when you send your hoard of trained assassin beetles over there to resolve the problem and eat the evidence. devil

    For every beer I drink there is one less beer in the fridge.

    How depressing is that?

    That might be a good thing if their power amps and/or speakers are outside.

    My right foot hurts. Just the right foot.  I need to stay off it but the problem is that I need to work which requires being on my feet all day.  I cannot quit my job because my rent money depends on my job for some reason.  Basically not work will risk not having a place to live.

     

    you found your own place?

    you have a good employment history, mebbe try a couple job interviews for better dayjob?

    mebbe try civil sevice jobs, like post office. or  job at the dmv, they get to sit a lot.

    No not my own place but still have rent.

    Complaint:  Motivation to do much of anything still very low. Not really any art getting done at all - drawing or 3D  :V

     

    relaxin is good.  can dream up scenes and worry bout the technicalities later

    it all starts with a daydream

    Sadly the dreaming makes it harder xD

    I daydream-wrote a short story a week or two back and spent several days fine tuning and "memorizing" each scene, and I really loved it... Until I realized it was beyond my ability to draw (At least draw well, and needing to spend vast lengthy periods of time drawing it and not getting frustrated frequently and and and and...),  and doing it in 3D just isn't possible since it involved creatures that I obviously do not have models for and are too complex for someone of my minimal knowledge to model, let alone texture and rig.

    Leaving writing it as the only option I guess - which is possible but I haven't written a short story for a couple years, and ones involving any sort of 'dynamic action' since early High School. Even then, I always felt my writing 'action' stuff (like fights or such) was a D- topic for me,  whereas conversation and dialogue or interactions with characters was my strong point.  Describing locations was a hit-and-miss area for me. If I knew the words to describe something, I could do so in a imaginative way. If I couldn't find those words, it came out clunky and rushed.

    That's why reading the original books is so important.  The movie people take too many liberties.  I can understand why, but still, even a 9-hour movie series didn't cover the whole story. 

    Same problem with the Harry Potter series movies v. the books.

    Plus, the added advantage of reading proper books is that one learns how many words are spelled. enlightened

    I was sound asleep until an issue came up.  The tea lemonade I was drinking last night was causing an issue.  It woke me up to a state I had to figure out how to wobble my way to the bathroom without waking up my roommate.

    I feel for ya. I'm constantly having to edit the storyline of my webcomic to account for
    what's available in 3D. I will say thank the diety for Melody 2.0... Opened up some
    possibilities that I am exploiting with every bit of imagination that I have.
    Space ships are a constant disappointment, though.

    Big whoop-ti-do in town today.  Memorial day parade.  Typically, about 8 horses, 10 old cars (old!!! like 1970s frown,  hell, I've got underwear older than that), a horse drawn carriage, town officials in ordinary cars, about 5 firetrucks from surrounding towns, the highschool band from the next town west, 10 kids on bicycles (they don't even decorate their bicycles anymore sad) 20 kindergardners somewhere,  and a hay wagon with something or someone on it.  They travel about five blocks from the old school to the cemetery for the ceremony.

    I guess I should repeal the "old cars" dig, I admit 1970 could be considered old.  When I was a kid in the 1950s a 40 year old car would have had one cylinder, wooden wheels & wooden brakes, an open cockpit, and a crank. surprise.  And I remember a few of them in the parade back then. surprise  The engine from a 50 year old car would have had four hooves, eaten hay, and left solid exhaust on the street. surprise

    It's still quite a draw, the streets are lined with people for an hour beforehand.  Biggest excitement in this area since last Memorial Day. indecision

    Non-complaint: Albertto is going in along the Gulf Coast  and will stay well inland many hundreds of miles from me.

    Complaint: We are going to get heavy rains from it anyway.

    Parade review:  Major changes this year. surprise  The highschool band, but no 8 year olds on bicycles.  Three modern cars, a couple of cars from the early '60s (one was a Thunderbird), a car from the early '70s (one of those orange Dukes of Hazard cars) plus a model-A and a model-T Ford (Wow!!!).surprise yes The big white & gold horse drawn carriage with a beautiful pair of black horses instead of the spotted white pair used in recent parades.  Very nice black leather w/silver decorated tack.  No haywagon.  No kindergardners.  Eleven firetrucks!!  It took me 10 minutes to walk the 3 blocks to the place to view it, and 10 minutes to walk back after I saw the end of the firetrucks bringing up the rear in the distance.  I wasn't gone more than about 30 minutes total.  Excitement over.  Once the road was opened, I counted 20 cars that had been halted  behind the barricade.  Heavy traffic today! indecision  Ah, life in small town America. 

    Tuckered myself out with that long walk in the 90 degree sunny weather.  What a relief to return and open my door and realize that my poor underpowered, six-year old air-conditioner was still working adequately, so far. yes

    Complaint:  I just received a phone call from a robot telling me that my iCloud account had been hacked and that I should call <phone number> to get instructions.  I don't have an iCloud account. cheeky  I am alergic to clouds. devil  But I worry about people who get taken in by this scam.  And I suspect I might be getting some calls from a few of my customers with tales of woe about what happened after they called and followed the instructions.  I warn them to never believe phone calls or screen pop-ups from other than their Norton or MalwareBytes software that I installed for them.  But some of them get confused and scare easily.

    Complaint:  Getting old is sometimes so frustrating.  I turn on the radio tuned to my local classical station and I invariably pop into the middle of a musical piece and within two or three notes I quite often recognize the tune and know what to expect for the rest of the piece.  UNFORTUNATELY, many times I can no longer remember the name of the piece until the announcer comes on and identifies it.  At which time I slap my head and say "Of course, stupid, "Dvorak's 7th Symphony" or "Beethoven's Third Symphony" or whatever.  Sometimes I can deduce who the composer was in a few minutes of hard thinking, by the teltale style and then by process of elimination winnow it down to a couple of possibilities, but too often now the identity of the piece has just evaporated from my brain.  I've even forgotten names of iconic pieces like Beethoven's Fifth Symphony or Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony.

    Non-complaint:  I can still at least recognize the tunes.  Yea!

    Even bigger non-complaint:  I can still hear the tunes.  yes  Despite my continuing hearing degredation. frown

    HOWEVER, one does not have to know the identity of a musical piece to enjoy it.  Listening is its own reward.  Knowing the ID just helps you find it on YouTube to hear it again, or permit you tell others about it. enlightened
