I had a lot of fun this afternoon playing around with Photoshop and learning better ways to color things quicker with that lasso tool. I feel that I'm already improving when it comes to doing art digitally.

I'm sure it takes a lot of patience and time to get the hang of it. I feel I'm still stuck at square one.
 
There's definitely something that I'm allergic to in the town I go to school in. I didn't have this problem at home. To avoid sneezing all the time, I have to take daytime and nighttime allergy meds and it leaves me really dehydrated. I guess all those allergy shots I got when I was younger don't protect me from whatever type of pollen is here.
 
Fucking neighbor lady knocked on my door at 9:30pm and said, "there's a snow shovel out there. Feel free to shovel the sidewalk." :story:

Two things, bitch:
1.) I have shit to do.
2.) You didn't say please.

And it's not like she shovels it either, or has even once this winter. Also, I don't take kindly to unsolicited knocks on my door (especially at night), even if you do live next door.
 
Tomorrow, I'm going to attempt it again. I'm going to attempt to read LotR and actually finish it. And if I quit this time, fuck it. I'm going to watch the movies instead (never watched them before, but bought them last Summer at some yard sale).

I can never get past the halfway point of the first book. Couldn't when I was a kid, still can't as an adult. It just bores me that much and I look for something else to read (Harry Potter back then, ASoIaF now... granted, I never finished the HP books since I lost interest waiting for the 5th to come out. Maybe I should restart that.)

On an unrelated note, I looked at my college classmates online profiles since I couldn't remember one girl's name and it was bugging me. Turns out, I'm not the only one who decided not to pursue a job in the field. Even the girl I was looking up, who was one of the best students in our program, is doing something completely unrelated (and went through another program).

It felt nice, and broke me out of the funk I've been in lately.

Finally, Johnny Walker Scotch Whiskey is fucking awful. Bought a bottle for Christmas and it tastes like I'm drinking booze out of a used ashtray. I take back all the complaints I have about Jack Daniels, but I really miss Canada 5 Star. Too bad they don't make that anymore.

Magnetic lasso tool in Photoshop has saved myself so much time with the coloring stuff. I should have known about it much earlier. It will help me get the flats on the drawings much faster, giving me more time to get the kind of shading and shadows I want. I tend to be kinda loose with the linework and not connecting everything completely, so it's a huge help.
 
Ever since arriving at college, I've been struggling with feelings of inadequacy (I'm usually in the bottom of my class skill level wise) and getting mostly C's on projects. But today, I got back my latest color theory project and I got a perfect fucking score. God this is the best feeling I've ever felt. And I got a high score on my latest composition paper too. Things are finally starting to look up.
 
My scumbag neighbors have been using a dog as an outdoor living doorbell/alarm system and backyard decoration since we moved in. Today, I got to watch the humane society take her away and I've never been more satisfied. She's very cute and sweet, not at all a pit bull or some other "controversial" breed, I'm confident she'll find a forever home that actually treats her like family.
 
I dropped one of my classes and feel better now. 19 credits was too much, so it's 16 credits of shit I'm doing now. Also I thought this was one of the weirdest classes too with how it's set up. I also took a sociology test today. It was meh whatever, I could have studied more for it and I did read the chapters but I'm still partially in some kind of "i'm tired and don't give af about this shit anymore" phase and slowly coming out of it.
 
The temperature jumped from 40° to 78° here. I'm very happy because I prefer warm weather but also upset because suddenly every single bug in the world is trying to crawl into my dorm.

It happens. I remember when I first used e-mail back in college 20 years ago and didn't know what a mailing list could do until my inbox became FLOODED with hudnreds and hundreds of messages I couldn't load at all!
