Knitting

Copied from Spaces.

In all my life, I never thought I would be knitting.
But that’s what I’m doing now.

I’m not very good at it.

But it helps while away the time.

Okay, so I’m just finding an excuse to procrastinate.

Homework

Chinese Idiom List: 10% done
Drawings: 20% done

I miss talking to my friend(s). Why are they never online?

Title is this thing that Bow had in his display name or personal message some time ago. It means Death Sign 「Undone Homework」or something, according to him.

Spaces doesn’t have multiple-category support.

Anyways, holiday homework is the bane of all students. More or less. It can’t be just me who hates holiday homework.
Yes, I’m typing rubbish in a style that isn’t really like my normal writing style.
Blame it on too much Engrish exposure recently.

Currently I have a list of 2.5 hundred Chinese idioms to learn (read: memorize) and 10-15 observation drawings to finish.
This needs to be done by the end of the “holiday”. I’m currently in China and we’re visiting people and places left, right and centre, which means less time for me to do that stuff.

I thought it would be easier to find subject matter for my drawings here – the theme is “waiting”. I’ve only drawn 2 pictures so far, and here’s a list of subjects I’m planning to do.

1. Waiting for someone (just a person looking at a watch probably)
2. For a taxi
3. ” bus (orz)
4. ” MRT (“‘orz)
5. Waiting for inspiration (I was pretty desperate for stuff to draw when I started)
6. Waiting at the lift lobby
7. Waiting for a lesson to end (not quite likely I’ll be able to draw this)
8. Waiting for…dinner? (Yes, I’m just writing down anything that pops into my head)
9. Waiting for Cirno to stop freezing frogs (I give up.)
10. Waiting to get selected to participate in a local artbook thing next year (so not jealous!)

Out of these, 5 and 6 are done (well, 5 is kinda incomplete, but incompleteness should be okay as long as it “fully explores the expressive potential of the medium”). 2,3 and 4 are pretty hard to draw from observation so I’ll have to fake it and draw from photos. The bad thing about art teachers that they can immediately tell when you’ve copied from a photo, because there’s bound to be some distortion.

I don’t like school.

⑨ quote of the day:

“Money. The less the better.” My brother said when I offered him either $5 or $10 as payment for helping me type in the code of 1/2 a webpage.
“Why?” I asked him, expressing my shock that he actually, uh, didn’t want excess money.
“Later I get my hands dirty, then how?”
