Today was a day that was decent at best. Got to engage in a couple of fun activities with my dad here and there, got a couple of good bites to eat, and got to wrap up the day with a decent night of television. Overall, this day can best be described as a typical episode of your everyday sitcom: A mixed bag.

Feeling a bit under the weather today, I hate being sick

whenever i complain about linux issues, the point i am making is not that linux is bad and i wanna go back to using windows because fuck no. windows is awful and you'd have to PAY me to go back to using that as my daily driver.

the point i am making is i frickin hate computers.

I sent my 'Shroom article to Meta Knight via PM on Friday morning, so just letting y'all know. Should I expect a response back, as I asked for feedback on any errors I may have made?

Applications are typically reviewed for one week and you'll usually hear back after that week has passed, though there are instances the Stats Manager will reach out earlier to, say, get clarifications from the applicant. All applications, whether accepted, accepted with conditions, or rejected, come with feedback and suggestions - after all, the goal is that every applicant comes away with tips and direction to improve! So you can rest assured you'll get that requested feedback.

Probably roast pheasant with tomato sauce, baked potatoes and vegetables fresh from the royal yard.

Hey, I know things aren't as good as they could be and I know you're not as active here as much while you're working towards being happier and stronger mentally, but I wanted you to know that you're still an awesome best buddy and I hope you'll feel better knowing that I'm still here for you. 💙

Finally had a decent day at best during this extended weekend. It's gone from eating a Poison Shroom to eating a Poison Shroom with a little salt on it, if you know what I mean. Here's hoping tomorrow will continue to be decent.

I remember meeting someone with a really intense hatred of Ewoks, like he despise them more than anything else in the world

Did he have a specific reason as to why he hated Ewoks so much?

He thought they were lame

Just another sign of the complications of human nature, I guess.

Today I learned that the office chairs produced in Xiamen, China can sometimes explode with the force of a gas pipe explosion when you sit on them

Knowing how to draw is probably the skill I most want to have, but I don't mind that I don't because there are other creative outlets I enjoy

If you ever do decide you want to pursue it, make sure to practice frequently! It doesn't have to be a lot but it'll build up and you'll see yourself improve over time. Tracing over images can also be really helpful to get a better grip on things as you learn.

This is good advice. I would like to add, rather than tracing over images, try to place the image in front of you and copy the lines by eye. Tracing directly usually turns you into a passive observer and you don't get a good feel for how the shapes and lines interact. You just don't absorb a lot of information when your mind is not actively engaged.

And remember one thing: for the purposes of training yourself, there's no shame in copying a photograph or even someone else's work. I'm specifically touching the topic of shame because I've seen a lot of budding artists worrying over the use of reference, and I've even stumbled upon certain concerning attitudes regarding this practice, some labeling it "cheating". If it's educational, it's ok. I'm unwilling to call the greatest artists, dead or alive, "cheaters" for learning off the shoulders of others, for in art, there's no step too piteous to achieve greatness. Just "monkey see, monkey do" this whole thing until you feel like you're grasping the practice well enough. It's human nature.

(But if you copy someone's work, do not *ever* pass it off as your own. Just for the record.)

Today was yet another rollercoaster of emotions for me. This isn't exactly how I envisioned my extended weekend to go, and I'm hesitant to call it a crummy weekend because while I have had a couple of small positive experiences so far, I personally feel the emotional highs are tarnishing the weekend.

Sorry to hear that. Yeah, sometimes emotions can cloud out the positive experiences of a day.

What stories/authors did you look at in your high school English classes? I'm asking this because when I start teaching 101/102 (the introductory composition classes in college), I want to avoid the typical high school readings.

I'm actually heartbroken. I tried to buy a Cheez It Hawaiian shirt but it was out of stock. I have no words to express my emotions. That shirt was the last piece of fashion on the internet that suited my style.
