Lego Shark

I think I had a nice christmas this year. But one thing that stood out to me most was the lego. I used to play with it all the time as a kid, because there was something about creating your own world to help escape the reality of your own that made you so miserable. Maybe it was being involved with the creation of something I just enjoyed more.

Might explain why I liked Sim City as a kid, and the World Editor in Warcraft. What I ended up doing with the lego I had as a kid was sell it to a friend for her kids. They wanted some themselves but it just cost so much. She got a lot, for cheap, and I was totally ok with it too because otherwise I would have just sat there and not get played with at all.

As for this, I’ll just put it on display. That’s all I can think of on what to do with it.

Christmas Time in the City

Something I kind like seeing while out during this time of year is seeing all the decorations set up at not just homes, but office buildings, parks, and other places.

Tenet

Well this movie looks like a total trip. From Christopher Nolan who gave us the Dark Knight trilogy and Inception so you know this is going to be something crazy.

Winter is Here

Today is the winter solstice, meaning this is the shortest day of the year meaning, the days are going to start getting long again. Yet a popular saying as of why winter happens has to do with the beliefs of some people who claim the figure known as Jesus is the reason behind such happening. That is of course false because it entirely has to did with the tilt of the earths axis.

But, I also remember as a kid learning about this story from Greek myth of Persephone, daughter of the goddess Demeter and Zeus, who was kidnapped by Hades, who also happen to be her uncle, by both parents. During her time in the Underworld her mother became enraged and decided to let freezing temperatures exist and cause plants to die till Persephone came back. While hanging with her new husband she ate seeds from a pomegranate thus making it so she belonged there.

Eventually a deal with struck making it so Persephone had to stay in the underworld a few months a year and during that time Demeter allowed winter to happen basically as her way of going strike. But that’s how old myth works, don’t know how to explain why such a phenomenon happens, make something up.

Snow Capped

Taken awhile back from my adventure at Pyramid Lake. I should make some time to go up there again if there is any snow there because I need to got shots like that again. That and hopes I could get a snowy Castform on Pokémon Go.

Link Gif

Back while at LA Comic Con, I met this one guy hanging at a friends booth. We talked for a good while and he asked if it was possible to take a bunch of photos in his cosplay performing an attack like Link does in the Zelda games, then turn it into a gif. After two months I finally got to it. That’s what happens when you don’t have a computer for a while and have a lot to go thought, and play a lot of Warcraft.

But what’s more interesting is that I just discovered I didn’t upload my photos on here from day 3 of LA Comic Con. Well I will fix that soon.

Adobe Folders

As a kid I always liked to think of myself as some kind of artist. Mostly what I did was draw, and know I still have some old stuff. Unfortunately it’s been a long time since I really drew something, yet it still blows my mind knowing I once did those cow skulls. Yet long before I made that drawing, I first used art programs on the computer as a kid back in the 90’s like photoshop, which I loved pretty quickly. Eventually I discovered Macromedia whose programs I also liked, then Adobe bought them so that made things actually easier on me.

Fast forward to this year, got the new computer yet for some reason when i loaded my programs on the custom folder icons that helped differentiate each program in the applications folder was gone. And that’s when opportunity came up and decided to make my own folders. I figured to make something simple because there really is no need to go crazy on something that’s only for quick visual notice.

I Didn’t Mean to, Uhh

I’ve been playing lot of Warcraft lately since getting the new computer. It’s nice on this machine and looks so good. So much because of the retina display giving 4 times more detail. There are some weird things that happen like now and then I accidentally take screen shots. Not sure what I’m hitting but I want this to stop. This is one of those screen shots.
