Randomness
To say it's been an intense couple of months would be understatedness of the most English sort. But I am working on the graphic novel equivalent of a short story. The trick is to keep it short and learn by doing. I came up with the opening scene for the first one, and hopefully the rest of the story will follow as I write.

Today will be my introduction into Krav Maga. We'll see how that works out. It's almost the polar opposite of Aikido. In addition to that and the gym it will be an interesting challenge to time management. However I still seem to be productive even when taking time to exercise. You learn to take advantage of the time you've got. Mostly you appreciate the time snippets you can get and are less likely to noodle around in front of the TV or the internets. At least that's my reaction.

And, last year, I was fifteen pounds heavier. Which means, this is definitely an improvement. I want to thank my unofficial personal trainers of occamsnailfile and greensilkchai for this. I won't tell you which one's motivational tool is the reverse psychology of "Screw this! I want a gelato!" :)
