Ravings of an Undead Cheese Minion

What is the summer haze?  First off, if you hate summer you probably don't experience this. However, it is something that I personally notice. It's both beautiful and dangerous.  The heat is intense yet comforting, like a warm blanket. It sends you into a sort of torpor. I've always said I'm basically a lizard. I'm cold-blooded. I can still crank my way through a water park before the crowds get there, but the haze starts to set in after that first hour or so.  The air is filled with cotton, like snow in June or July. The world is green and blue, and the air smells of barbecue and cinnamon and chlorine and sunscreen. People are laughing and talking and splashing. This feeling is strongest at public parks, including the ones at Provo Canyon, water parks, and amusement parks. It is obviously amplified in seasonal places where half the year the air hurts your face.  My brain personally  can easily fall into this half-zoned out, dissociative state where I'm lost in ...

I've been watching RWBY Ice Queendom, and only have one episode left. Mild spoilers here I guess.  I've realized how much I enjoyed the Beacon arc, and how I wish it could've lasted longer.  IQ does get dark or at least intense. It's not a Bluey episode, and it shouldn't be, as much as I love Bluey. I've always related to Weiss the most out of the main 4, especially her song Mirror, Mirror. So the scene with Pyrrha singing it inside of Weiss' dream still haunts me. It was very well executed.  Even so, it then lightens up and gets funny again. Those moments of catharsis are really needed. We're back in Beacon ready to learn more about becoming huntsmen and huntresses, I think (we'll see for sure in the last episode once I watch it). And the music is good, much like the music in actual RWBY.  But as I start to separate my nightly coding block into two different ones, Code and Games/Webcomics, I'm starting to think about my own webcomic that I'm...

Did they let me add it?  No. My advisor sucked. "You have too many credits, sucks to be you." I am so excited for when I make it as an artist because I am going to roast her so badly for blocking me from what I wanted to do.  And then they took it away and instead there was this cringe business bro "Design Thinking" BS. Ew. No.  Visual Arts was too...messy. I'll be honest; I didn't want to take sculpture or ceramics. I wanted the actual hardcore design classes because I knew the professors in that department would push me more. Push us all more. Though my Art 101 class was really good, and I really liked my professor and classmates, I got the sense that being pushed was the exception more than the rule in that department. I just got lucky.  I already took Figure Drawing for Illustrators and both ARTHC World Civ classes for my Civ GE credits. So all I would've had to take was the seminar, drawing, composition, and one more history course. That's only...

Okay so confession time: I said it was gateway tapes season and then I haven't done it. Yep. Because I finally came up with an art + writing + code + engineering + music + gaming schedule that works, and obviously I am not going to mess with gym or my runs.  I'm also not quite  sleeping enough, but working on that.  But, during my 15-minute break for meditation and such, I'm starting over to read The Phase by Michael Raduga again, usually while on a walk outdoors (if it's nice) or on my vibration plate (if it's not).  If I'm going to do the gateway tapes, Sunday morning is the only  time, and this can be complicated if I have an early choir rehearsal. I have to basically be in bed by 10, up by 6:30 or 7, and that gives me around 40 minutes for a tape before I have to start getting ready for church.  That means I have to get to bed by 10 instead of 11 though. And I keep getting to bed at 11. Which, in turn, means that all coding must be done before dinner, s...

Tired of having that label. 1. I am a theme park enthusiast. Imagine putting together a Disney adult with some NERD who can talk your ear off about stats while going up the lift hill of Steel Vengeance.  2. I am from 2010s DeviantArt. You know the type. Not the weird stuff that's prominent on there now. Instead, I just like creative pursuits: art/writing/music mixed with a technical edge: coding and cyber/IT. Just picture a digital artist who also writes novels, games, coded their own online portfolio, and maybe is in a symphonic band. There is nothing groundbreaking about this.  Lots of people do it.  3. I do hybrid athletics. Legitimately just working out. Everyone should be doing this.  Easy.
