Little books

Filled up IBC003 and started IBC004
I have filled up three little books with my Inkblobs. The fourth has the writing on the outside and no drawings yet. I think I'll fill it up pretty soon and then on to the fifth. And a sixth, and probably a seventh and so on. Clearing out my bookshelves, just in case I have lots of them next year. One has to prepare for these things :)

Daily: 2010.09.18+19
I very much enjoy doing these dailies, they keep me drawing. I've also managed to set up a system to make scanning a lot easier. My beast (a nickname I gave my laser-printer / scanner combo) can email scans so I have it set up to send the image to my emailprogram, which then extracts the attachment. This weekend we took it easy. It rained a lot and I felt very tired -- these two share a clear link -- so I spent a lot of time on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket sipping tea and watching a lot of MacGyver. Nano didn't seem to mind. She did, however, mind the attack of little stickyweed balls. They got between her toes and in her mouth. It took a bit of work getting them all off. We did eventually managed to free ourselves from them and will avoid that area for a while. You know, just in case they lie there in the bushes. Hiding. Waiting. Planning. Ready to attack...

I drew this daily in my pocket moleskine sketchbook and feel a little torn. I like the pre-printed dates in the planner, which works as an extra stimulant to draw every day. On the other hand, my colours bleed / shine through a lot which causes a few annoyances on my side. And on one side I can get over that, like how I get over the pre-printed lines. On the other side, I just like it more when it doesn't show that much. The added benefit of using an 80-page pocket sketchbook: it fills up much faster which works as a great motivator too. One of these days I will actually fill up an entire sketchbook ;) So, for now, I think I'll switch to the sketchbook. As my friend said, I can always change my mind again.

New rucksack

my new rucksack
I recently purchased a new rucksack. Yes, another one. Some people buy shoes, or clothes, or purses, or gadgets, or games. I buy rucksacks. Because of my RA I can't carry regular bags easily and shoulder-bags pretty much kill me. No joke, I seriously ended up at the ER once (with Christmas) because I carried one and it gave me horrible tendinitis that left me in so much pain someone had to drive me to the hospital. I easily get tendinitis in shoulders and neck, and a rucksack seems to work best in preventing it. This one weighs less than a kilogram on its own, has its own rain-cover and it came with a separate pouch you can either hang on that loop on the inside, or attach to the waist-belt. Bonus-points if you guess who I have hanging on it.

Finding lost things

Drawing of my leatherman micra
Today I rummaged through my rucksack looking for a bottle of vitamins I thought I bought and didn't find it -- I still don't know if I actually bought it. When I dug into one of its pockets I felt an unfamiliar cold shape and took it out. Surprise! My leatherman micra, lost for years. I bought it at the start at my eurotrip, thinking it would come in handy. It has a pair of scissors that did proof useful for opening food packages and such. After returning home, I misplaced it for a little while and then found it shortly after I moved. And then I misplaced it again. Its empty cardboard box lay on my nightstand, for years, as a reminder of it. At times I googled the type, thinking of purchasing another one, but never did. And today, I found it. I think I'll put it on my keyring.
