September 16, 2010

Up today at 8AM, though sleeping was difficult.  I'll be going off to swim in a few minutes.

I really have nothing planned for today.  Finishing up Realm kinda took the wind out of my sails.  Perhaps I should do the Kitty Cat video just using the instrumental track, which I keep saying I'll do.

Later:  well, I am working on the cat video.  I really like the music so that's a definite positive.  I'm curious as to why I seem to have so few pictures of Leela.  Seems like I should have a couple of hundred but there's only a handful.

I'm also concerned that some files--a brief video I wanted to include--seem to exist nowhere except in the backup of my website.  It's good that I have them, but they should be here, on some disk or another.  Troubling.  I wonder what might be lost for good?

Later still: I finished the cat video, or at least the karaoke version.  It looks, sounds and plays great.  I am hopeful that at some time I can add voices to it, but for now it feels good to look at something that's more than just an idea floating in my head.

Swam again around 10PM, mostly because I was feeling restless.  Also, I wanted beer. 

Nothing else accomplished today, but in a sense I figure this is quite a bit.  The only nagging thought is that with Realm and Kitty Cat, I've kind of passed a threshold in terms of using some storytelling techniques.  I wonder if doing things like the Headaches are kind of a step backwards.

On the other hand, they're fun to do.  And I even have some ideas for more.  The thing is, if doing them is spinning my wheels, at least that makes a sound I can listen to.

Tomorrow, on the road again.  Probably nothing notable will be accomplished this weekend, at least in terms of artwork.

Til then.
