Did you know I draw my new years resolutions?

Now you do;) I’ve finished one of my goals so far, and they’re all gonna end up with their finishing date on the right page. Also I made a little savings thermometer for the things that needs money.

Even when they’re just silly little doodles I find drawing my goals makes it easier to focus on them… and get back on track if I lose sight of things.

So I recently got back to learning Blender again after almost half a year… I didn’t mean to stop when I did, I’d just bought that spiffy dvd and all, but my computer would overheat and turn off in the middle of everything. Horribly inconvenient, so I stopped. Now I’ve given my tortured processor a wonderful new coat of thermal paste, so my widdle Frankenpc is purring again. Which meant it was time to get focused… I’ve actually given myself a three month deadline, I figured if I just stop in the middle of things this time there will be no more attempts, cause honestly it’d be a waste of time to go yo-yo on it. However things have been going quite well… very much thanks to this little elephant tutorial I found over at blendercookie. I’m starting to think it’s the best $25 I’ve spent this year, as following a tutorial with a great end result is much much more fun than a bland, clunky looking newbie tutorial. Never underestimate the power of awesome looking as motivator. Ages have been spent pause and rewinding, then starting over a few times when I fucked up everything. Which isn’t as bad as it sounds, cause then I really learn something;) Which I have, and it looks great, and I’m really happy with it even if it isn’t my design or idea, but that time will come in a bit… after many, many more tutorials. Ack weavercat, I’m sound asleep during your livestreamT_T
