New Year New Things?

 Happy New Year


They say how you spend New Years day is how you spend the rest of the year. If that's so, I will spend all year hung over and spacy; craving burgers. 


Even so, I hope to be productive this year. Tarot readings say I will be, so hopefully they're right. I start my next class tomorrow. Color Theory. I honestly have no idea what the class will entail aside from discussing things like complimentary colors, blending and stuff like that. I had to get Adobe Creative software which is terrifying because of the lack of space on my computer and it being another program that refuses to be on anything but my main hard drive. It opens in the background on my computer on start up and slows so much down and takes forever to quit out of with task manager. I'm hoping I could do most of this class from my tablet. At least I have space on that. 


Speaking of my computer, it is still steadily dying. I got money from Christmas. I mean, that's all I asked for. Not having a job, however, makes me very anxious to spend it. Is it irresponsible to buy a $2-3k computer while not having a job even though I really need a quality working computer for everything I do? Maybe


Side note: I'm not sure I should be calling it Christmas considering I'm not Christian. Maybe I'll start genuinely calling it Yule. Although I don't fully follow those beliefs either. Kindof a strange position to be in. Maybe we can come up with some other name. To be fair, Christmas traditions were all stolen from other beliefs to indoctrinate people into the Christian faith. So maybe the biggest protest to that is doing the celebration without any of the Christian stuff in there.

The year lost

  I don't even remember how long it's been since my last post. I had one drafted out that I never finished. Everything just got in the way. I guess I will catch us up to speed. If I recall, I last left off at our search for a new house. We ended up getting a bid accepted for a home not too far from where we were living before. When looking at the house the first time, it was raining and we saw a white cat taking shelter under the houses overhang. We almost took it as a sign that this was gonna be our house. When we met with the previous homeowners, they told us that there are a few cats around that were left behind by other neighbors when they moved away and they've been feeding them. Now as a conservation biologist, I don't condone outdoor cats, nor calling them into a specific area. The damage was done, however, so we began to try and befriend and catch them. We noticed there were a few kittens around as well. After getting bitten by the tabby in the photo above, we e...

Recommendations Part 4: Those that All Should Play

Image
  Nearly every gamer has a list of games they think are the best and that everyone should play. This isn't a list of the best games, or my favorite games. They're games that I think everyone should play at some point. They're games that can help a gamer understand what makes a good game, the development process of a game or understand the history of modern games to appreciate what they have more and understand that there is more to understand and learn about game design. This list is to also explain to a non gamer what a game is and how it isn't all "Rooty Tooty McShooty" or waste of time repetitive violence fests and are instead an art form that stimulates more than just the eyes and ears. There will be difficult games on this list, but I don't expect players to 100% these games nor do I expect people to play them at all. Maybe it's for the lore, storytelling, and art design. It's also difficult to make this list because games I think should be on...

The Fool

Image
 What can be said about The Fool? Numbered zero in the deck, it stands for new beginnings. The young chimney sweep in this card denotes childlike awe and inspiration. Not bogged down by society and not aware of society's true expectations of him. He stands on the roof, in unsullied clothes, above the toil that others deal with and is prepared to begin his journey of life. The sunrise in the background adds to this new beginning. The original card is often depicted similarly: a young character carrying a rucksack on a stick, standing on the precipice, about to leap down into the world below, accompanied by a white dog as their guiding light. Often showing clean or pure imagery such as the white flower and clean clothes, the card pushes the idea of "new." This was my card for March. I will note it was reversed, however my deck doesn't want to be read as such, luckily. This month already begins a new class of illustration. One week in and it's already proving more in...
