I refer you again to my<a title=\"Happy Christmas\" href=\"http:\/\/nimlas.org\/blog\/creative-non-fiction\/happy-christmas\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0family&#8217;s christmas<\/a>) so I didn&#8217;t want to give away the surprise. \u00a0The painting is a water color of a <a title=\"An Elf not named Caelann\" href=\"http:\/\/nimlas.org\/blog\/art\/an-elf-not-named-caelann\/\" target=\"_blank\">sketch I did a while ago of an elf, a specific elf, an elf my sister plays named Caelan<\/a>\u00a0(or some spelling like that, she has a few characters with the name.) \u00a0Again I will say I am really enjoying getting back into watercolors, I can see why a lot of artists like acrylics these days, its faster, but I just don&#8217;t like the flatness when the painting is done, yet with the watercolors, which are even faster, and easy to clean up and set up but I feel like I can get a lot of depth to the images.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people tell me they can&#8217;t get behind watercolors because they are so drippy and uncontrolled, I hope that from my few paintings I have shared so far you can see how much control you can get over the medium. \u00a0I wish I had images of the sailboat scenes I&#8217;ve done for my mom years ago to show you. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t document my work as much then as I do now and it&#8217;s a shame. \u00a0Then I only used film on the most completed of works, I didn&#8217;t want to waste film (remember those days?) Now it&#8217;s easy, everything is digital, scan it, photograph it and it&#8217;s\u00a0saved forever.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to draw on my iPad but I just can&#8217;t control the stylus like I can with my tablet, the iPad isn&#8217;t sensitive enough, I know that Cynical Woman does amazing things on her iPad, I&#8217;ll have to get her to show me how she does it at Balticon or something.<\/p>\n<p>I cam home from vacation with stacks of day job work and all the stacks of voice work and recording I&#8217;m already behind on. \u00a0Coming back to construction wasn&#8217;t helpful for the recording side, but I&#8217;m hoping to do some late night recording to get it taken care of. \u00a0I really need a sound proof booth because the new house just picks up every sound from the outside, you&#8217;d think I would hear our neighbors a lot more (it&#8217;s a duplex) but I have heard them perhaps three times since moving in. \u00a0I&#8217;m not creating excuses for why things are behind, I don&#8217;t like it when other people do that :) I&#8217;m just reflecting on what&#8217;s going on in my life.<\/p>\n<p>Something I have done, that isn&#8217;t recording or paying work but is a good break is I&#8217;m playing Star Trek Online again. \u00a0I played this when it first came out, and since the game is going free to play they are allowing anyone who have subscribed in the past to play now, before everyone else (Jan 17th) which is pretty nifty. \u00a0There is a bit of learning curve as they changed so much about the game since I played last, a lot of really good improvements. \u00a0The game is sleeker and runs a lot nicer, there doesn&#8217;t seem to be any wait to get onto the server, which used to be a problem. \u00a0There has been almost no rubberbanding, which also was a problem before, I haven&#8217;t had it happen once, Tek had it happen I think on the first day and that&#8217;s it. \u00a0Going back to STO just reinforces my decision to not play an MMO in the first six months, I know that doesn&#8217;t help the game thrive, but I can&#8217;t take the adjustment period. \u00a0Also, I LOVE free to play games. \u00a0I still play a subscription for DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online) but I can&#8217;t see myself paying for more than one MMO, I can see myself buying items from the store and doing micro transactions. \u00a0I think it&#8217;s a great business model and the way to go for MMO gaming, I never feel guilty if I don&#8217;t play LotRO, Champions, Conan or now STO, because I&#8217;m not paying monthly for it. \u00a0I actually think just describing this I may have talked myself into switching to F2P for DDO.<\/p>\n<p>I got a lot of comics for Christmas and Epiphany, Kill Shakespeare, Game of Thrones, Dollhouse, Mause, Iron Man Nior and now Vol 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 I think of Buffy Season 8, I need to get my hands on 3 &amp; 4 before I start that though. \u00a0I looked into getting the digital versions, but they sell those by the issue number, not the trade volume number, so I need to figure out what issue number was the last in vol 2. \u00a0I also started downloading a ton of Sherlock Holmes books in digital format so I can reread them, I started reading and am just loving every minute of it, it&#8217;s transporting me to happy childhood days of reading.<\/p>\n<p>What are you reading now? \u00a0What are you playing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I said I wanted to blog more in 2012 and it has taken me ten days to come up with a second post. \u00a0(Granted, I was away in New
