Instability

My head currently is great friends with the procrastination monster (here is where I should jump into Illustrator and haul out some illustration skills and show you what my monster looks like).

I spent yesterday afternoon reclaiming sanity by cleaning my house and spending time with my friend Ana in the glorious sun at a cafe. I thought I’d won the war in capturing control.

Today control has made some kind of spectacular get-away and I am floundering.

I hate having to do bits and pieces without accomplishing anything tangible. Unfortunately these bits and pieces NEED to get done to even get remotely close to the whole.

I currently have four books on the go, struggling to get through the Pratchett (of all things!) and feel quite unstable.

Procrastination is lists and tea

Oh it’s a great time of year for university students. A find of mine, shared with much love and even more understanding…

Concentration and benefit

modern-artistsLast night Geoff mentioned that today perhaps we’d go get that camera I’ve been wanting for about a year and half (probably more) and my mind did the usual flip out about the cost. So we’ll see where the afternoon takes us as I force to recall to mind the small freelancing jobs that I’ve done that can contribute to lessening the wallet dent. It’s far too exciting. I would however like someone to explain Nikon lenses to me in great detail because I have a funny feeling that a kit lens won’t cut it forever.

There’s also the issue of distraction. I’m really good at the whole distraction thing and I’m hoping after the 4 or 5 episodes of Gilmore Girls last night that I’ve worked screen related procrastination out of my system. A camera would be a distraction.

As it goes, yesterday I put in a mammoth effort and completed my 2D animation rotoscope related brief and worked out that there are quite literally millons of ways you can put 3 very similar, relatively boring rotoscoped work together. It’s kind of quirky, I’m sure there are areas I could improve on and I’m really sick of listening to the ragtime soundtrack but it’s done and it’s something out of the way that is due on Thursday (and worth 50% of the subject).

What occupies my mind at present and is suffering from distraction is a group assignment for Managing Design – it’s a proposal based on the Future Melbourne project. I am doing the bulk of the actual writing (tasks divided up according to strengths) and we have a presentation on the draft on Tuesday. The problem is not in writing, but in sitting down for long enough to concentrate the words out of me.

The best technique thus far is taking the mac to a cafe and isolating myself from the internet. But as I’m still in my pyjama’s, that’s probably not the best option right at this moment.

Back to it.

Whelmed

I’ve been using up my blogging energy lately being overwhelmed with all the work I have to finish up before uni ends for the semester. I have one week left of classes and a folio week-extra time to finish things off. So I’m peddling my face (read bum) off trying to fill out my folios enough to get me through this lot classes. The direst of circumstances would see me failing packaging and having to do it again (that would be torture) but I think I’ll be okay. It’ll just be a jammed ugly few weeks

On a slightly *lighter note, post of the day to Naked Pastor for Flee to the Desert, because I thoroughly identify.

*as aptly pointed out this is not lighter, merely different
