A midd'ling day.

silveradeptProbably very forgettable. Well, sort of. A friend of mine who goes by the name Sketch asked whether I had done any drawing lately, and since I hadn't, I spent some part of today trying to scratch out some frames from the latest of D.C. Simpson's two creations. Took me three tries or so before I found anything that I thought resembled them close enough to be worth inking. Decided, too, that I want to start keeping scanned copies of some of my work, just for fun, and possibly to see style evolution. So I scanned what I scratched out on paper today and played with it a bit with digital ink and paint so that my lines looked better than they are. I now have a couple good ways of thinning and thickening my lines in my program. Sent off my request for aid on one of the projects I might be spending my days off on. Still debating whether I want to see Episode III tonight - probably not, with work in the morning. Plus, unlike LotR, this one's not one I've got to see at 12 A.M. Maybe tomorrow night, I'll go see it.
I've got cool stuff for you today. Anybody who likes mecha anime... or just the thought of having a giant robot of one's own to pilot, well, they can be built. At a mere cost of 36 million yen, you too can own a walking, sponge-shooting robot. Cooooooooooool.
And there's stuff about how we should be suspicious of complete endings. Anyone who's seen Evangelion would like any sort of ending, of course. That's possibly a cheesy remark, but it's just enough.
I'm not alone in the thought that Science and Magic complement each other anymore! Well, okay, so maybe I haven't been at all, but this is the first I've seen of someone who's making a good case for it. Either way, getting rid of that progression (Frazier, right?) idea that many people have is a long-overdue thing. The world's a lot more fun with some Magic in it. Doesn't mean that Science has to stop whatever it's doing - it's just possible that all Science can do is tell us what something isn't.
Now, go out and play, for Goddess's sake! (depending on your time zone, implementation times may vary)
