A Long Time Ago in Syria
I dug these up recently from my box of memories. Almost ten years ago back in the days of film. Ah, the good old days…
My box of memories is about a cubic foot in size. Actually most of the stuff isn’t that old, come to think of it. Nothing like the treasures at my parents’, like my tape recordings of video game music. Ahh, Jetfighter II.
Happy Birthday Deborah
I painted this for my coworker Deborah’s birthday, which is sort of a poor caricature of our prayer group at work. She’s the one in brown and turns 29 next week.. I really hope she always wanted a neck like a tree trunk.
My “Guns”
Last week at work, to promote employee fitness, they had daily athletic competitions with the people who work in the building. I didn’t participate but they announced the winner of the 1000 m rowing competition with a winning time of 3:30. That didn’t sound so hard to me so I thought I’d go down to the workout room today and see what my “guns” could do. I thought the first 30 seconds were strong. I just have to work on the last five minutes or so…
Hedgehog Journaling
This one took quite a bit longer. I originally had a few more doves thrown in but I figure you just can’t have the whole world read your diary.
Dear Diary ...
For some reason I imagine him writing about how he’s self conscious about his looks. That’s a very contemplative topic for certain hedgehogs.
Girl and Hedgehog
Ever since I finished my last exam a week and a half ago I’ve been wanting to get back into painting. I spent this afternoon trying to paint a girl and a hedgehog with mixed results. I started with watercolor but switched to digital midway through. I think I lost a lot of the sentiment of the original but it was way more fun to paint digitally, being able to recolor and resize on a whim. And with friends like “control” and “z” what could go wrong? (besides “computer freeze” and “forgot to save”)
I gave up going on a camping excursion to paint this. I’m not sure if it was worth it.
Om nom nom nom
Below is footage of the Ocean Park pandas during my Hong Kong trip earlier this year.
If I had to be covered in food I’d also have the same exact acoustic guitar loop playing as background music.
A Fresh Start
I found out that Wordpress allows you to import your old blog from blogger. I’m sure some people want to know what I ate for dinner five years ago, but maybe I’ll just sweep it under the rug for now . . .
I’ve been trying to take my mind of the last actuarial exam I took (exam MFE). To that end, this website is working rather well. Having to wait a month and a half for the results is like turning the lights off at the last few seconds of an NBA final and having to wait a couple months to see if the shot went in. And I’m sure if Kobe had to wait he’d be coding his own website too.
