Return to normalcy
Sep. 11th, 2001 05:29 pmI really don't have much more to say about what's happened. I must say that I'm glad everyone's okay, and those who have lost loved ones have my deepest sympathies. I don't feel fear now either, surprisingly... probably because I've dropped down into Overanalyzation Mode, as I am wont to do in crisis situations or other times of personal strife. I just have an incredible amount of hatred towards those responsible.
And to those lashing out at Arabs or Muslims or middle-eastern folk over this: SHUT THE HELL UP. They're not terrorists, and you aren't the law. We should be focusing our anger on those who really *are* responsible, not perpetuating hate within our own ranks.
And that is all I have to say about that.
So anyways, yeah, it's back to the sheer mundanity of normal life. I've been at work most of the afternoon, although I am certainly not at my most productive. I have a nasty headache and I would really like to just go back to bed. I had a hella tasty bowl of Cocoa Puffs for breakfast, though.
I scanned some things today, including the few Hidenka panels and prototypes I've done. Then I made the mistake of visiting the Megatokyo art forums, and depressing the crap out of myself about my stupid comic. I am such a shitty artist right now, and while I'm certainly not the worst out there, I don't exactly feel that my skills are cool enough to be producing a manga, either.
BLEH! I think I just need to re-do some panels or draw some new ones. There are always improvements to be made, I'll just have to accept that. Drawing a comic is something I have always wanted to try, and I shouldn't let what other people might think hold me back from it.
I think I'm going to kill another 20 minutes or so, and then go home.
