Still busy...
This lack of time is really getting to me, but I kind of enjoy it. Being busy makes me feel like I'm actually doing something, and I have to dig deep to really do something I want, like say, going to the gym at 5AM.
Unfortunately I have fallen behind in a lot of things because I haven't diminished in my unwind time. I'm still playing TGM (and doing horrendous, might I add), and running console room inspired me back into fighters so I'm into BlazBlue at the moment.
Mmm, my new main...
So far, BlazBlue feels really solid to me. It feels like a much simpler game than Guilty Gear but with the crazy features of it. Plus with only 10 characters there's a lot less matchups to learn than GG. It's a bit frustrating learning though, since everyone has such eccentric moves compared to SF. In SF, you can recognize punches and kicks, but in BlazBlue you have people jumping awkwardly and airdashing every which way and random objects come out of the ground and hit you, it's quite confusing.
I'm still at low-tier though since I lose to Noel D-mashers and Jin scrubs. *sigh* Losing to Jin online is like losing to Ken online.
Familiar much?
Online play is pretty good though, I have to admit. It's a bit frustrating when I can't block overheads or miss combos, but still it's nice to come home and relax and play a game competitively instead of driving 40 minutes - 1 hour to AI / FFA for competition that destroys me and has wait time in between each match.
Learning photography has been more stressful than it needs to be. I devoured two books on Friday (400 pages in 3 hours! zomg!) and it's given me a lot of insight on perfecting technique but now I can just readily pick apart flaws. It's like, I'm always needing new gear or my lighting is wrong, and then there's the woeful composition problems. This isn't a cheap hobby. =(
The blank space on the left of the picture irritates me."
Food blog progress has stalled. I find it a bit irritating to bring a camera with me to every decent meal and to take time out to photograph everything. Plus I find that photographing meals is both difficult and boring, and that I'd rather capture the expressions of the people at the table while eating than just a picture of food.
And that's it so far. I need some more saucy things in my life.
