How to not get bored

[morsla]

Weird observation: I've been working here for 1844 days, according to the paperwork that I've just signed. I completely lost track of time over the weekend. As aeliel has finished up at her job, we were both home for the end of last week... the calendar was re-labelled 'Saturday 1,' 'Saturday 2,' and on until we forgot what number we were up to. As my new initiative for the next few months, I intend to reclassify all days as Saturdays until further notice. I played around in Photoshop with some 12th Century Chinese watercolours, and built a pair of page borders for the Weapons of the Gods introductory adventure that bishi_wannabe's been working on. I've also discovered a few more features in InDesign, and I'm thirty pages in on the typesetting & layout. I still stand by my belief that it would take several lifetimes to discover all the features hidden in the Adobe suite... It's about time I started to consolidate the projects that are on the go at the moment... if I don't gather them together, I'll end up leaving a few unfinished. Time for a new list:

Heh, this time next year you can add a year's communication training to your painting and layout prowess...that'll be pretty impressive.

That's, er, me, incidentally.

I'm aiming to get all the painting on that list done by the end of April, actually... by the end of the year, the painting list should look pretty impressive on its own. I think I'll try to keep track of how much I've painted - without tournament armies to paint up, I have trouble remembering all the loose figures.
