Regaining the motivation...

the office demon

... not only for the blog stuff but the motivation to do anything other than just sitting and playing or watching movies. I have these few drawing projects I need to start  doing. Learning new stuff, yay! Aaaand I need to continue the gym and mountain biking activities again. I planned to participate in a specific World Cup race next year so I I see more leg days and more technical training in the woods in my near future. Hmm, I don't need to, I want to is more like it.

They found my uncle drowned few weeks back so it's eating a bit of the regained motivation...but we'll get there right? Goal for the next spring: Mountain biking BEEFCAKE(tm) with new madz drawing skills!

Divided

feat. Kirby

I like it, it calms my mind. Kirby was an accident. As always, what has been seen... so there it is.

Oh man, the twins have their first birthday this week. Have I really survived a whole year? (YAY ME!). They should celebrate my achievement of not going mad and still being, at least barely, alive.

I'm back bitches!

* doodling like a boss *

Finally I've been able to sit back to my own spot and work normally without running between different locations. It's not much, just a four person cubicle with frosted glass screens but still... It's my spot with my coffee cup and tons of post-it notes! I've also missed the grim old dude behind my back too... The blank "meh, go fuck yourself" glance that I get when I shout "morning", ahh ^___^.

I've been sitting in this same spot since I started the blog and we changed the office location, two years, and I swear to you that I've talked with the man only once. I don't even know his name. We waited for an elevator and it was snowing heavily. He said something like "great, more snow". I replied "yeah, I'm glad I have the studded wheels on my mountain bike"... he was driving a car I think. And that's it, a typical Finnish small talk. He's not interested, I'm not interested, let's just shut up and enjoy the silence. :p We stood there a couple of minutes, stepped to the elevator, still silent, went down and parted ways, no goodbyes, no nothing, and we've never talked since. I like him.

Fall

...walking on sunshine!...

You know?
The last rays of sun before it gets dark for the next six months or so. It's been a nice autumn so far and I've really enjoyed the bike rides to the office in the cool, refreshing, weather. And it's also been surprisingly dry, I don't remember many rainy days recently.

Why so happy? Well I don't know... I bought and installed a new 3GB HDD to the iMac and it's alive again! I'd like a new machine altogether, but I don't have a single Euro to spare into anything fun. And it looks like it's going to be this way for a long while... sucks to be me -___-

Domino effect

I did this about two months ago just before we got twins and I had a combined paternity leave and summer vacation. Seven weeks worth of sleepless nights.... oh, and the amount of poo is incredible! I managed to draw one note while on vacation, but I didn't have time/motivation to upload it to the blog. Coming up later...

Now I'm back at the office and its time to get back on the old and vague schedule ^___^

still alive...

... I managed to start new note last week but I'm still extremely busy. It'll take at least the next week the note to be completed.  I run between different locations and do much work with other people at the moment so it is nearly impossible to even touch the post-it stack that's lying in my desk :p I hardly have any time to even briefly check FB or read any news during the day... This must stop! :) The +2000€ extra in the last salary was nice, but I must admit that I am tired.

I know that I could just bring the notes home and finish them in 15-30 mins, but that wouldn't be the same now would it? :p I've got many ideas for notes, but I'm still trying to keep the outcome as random as possible.  Sometimes it's hard to empty your mind and start from the blank if you have persistent ideas floating around your brain. That may be the other reason why this is taking so long... Anyhow, next week, something new... finally...
