Frustrated.

Work . Argg... Everything looks wrong. The perspective to the proportions. I can't stand it. I need more references I need more things to look at. I really lost my groove when i went abroad. :( oh well, might as well take it up the ass and get on with it. Planning to get that mod, that allows the printer to have x12 more ink per cartridge. Our printer sucks and I need more references i can hold, not to mention my own printing leisures. Books I want for myself . Got The Medieval one, they didn't have anything that was in the 5th to 10th century. It was annoying. there was a 500 year gap they didn't tackle. :( Now this is an awesome philippine campaign. I hope they tell it right tho. Hard to get but very useful to convert into a campaign book. Thankfully it was made during the late 6th century, only a few decades after my favorite era.

Warlords

San Juan day . Thankfully Elvin warned me about locking my doors. There was two instances where people actually tried to open them to wet us with water. One guy blocked our way just to spray us. A little malice was involved to get out of their system. They did Piss me off by blocking the way to Lola's and I couldnt get breakfast or see her. Civilization 4: Warlords . Ware begets war, Because i play Alexander and Greece to get as close as I can to Byzantium. In hindsight, maybe I could rename my warlord to Belisarius. War is annoying and can drag on forever. There should be a deadline or a plan on how to win technologies by bullying weaker countries. Anyway at Noble Difficulty and Average Speed, I was able to bring Egypt, China and the Ottoman Empire as my Vassal states! Whohoo! Byzantium's destroyer was now its lackey. Given the brilliance of a the Generals of Byzantium Like Belisarius. I think it would have been possible for the Real Byzantium to modify its economy to gear it ...

OMFG!!!

Cheap Medieval Minatiures !!! P335 a set of 48 pieces. Freaking Excited. The Late Roman Empire Ones will be twice more expensive because I will have to special order it BUT that still amounts to P16 per FIGURINE!!! Thants 30x CHEAPER than Warhammer mini's. which is P500 for blister! Charles . I forgot about the bygon chalk I'll try that. Soy milk has fiber!? well i'm sure just soluble fiber.

Making Deadlines for Myself.

1st step to being more productive: DEADLINES and sticking to it. Posting this will shame me from slacking off . Just got home from abroad and fixing up my sched, but I'm excited to say that I'm slowly but surely working on my own gurps contribution as my pet project and part of my graphic portfolio. Design consideration . -A setting Lighter than Banestorm, heavily combat oriented, a historical setting since 3rd ed, higher ART ratio than traditional gurps books. -for Newbies and Educational (not wordy). -Cutting down the amount of options of ease of use. -A lot of page references to help breeze through the use of Basic Set. -Using "unofficial" armor weights based on the armor sets from research sources (will cite in bibliography). Whats been done so far . - A 6 page comic that introduces the reader to the State of the Empire at 527AD and... Progress: inking in progress 10% so far - ...A 12 page comic explaining GURPS combat . Progress: script done, first 6 page...

Home, finally

Readjustment . Now its getting back to the groove, looking for some part time work and working on my portfolio. Ideas . Jogging this morning, planning to TRY to maintain a habit of excersize to off-set my sedentary work situation (sitting all day in front of the computer). I heard once around greenhills inner parameter is a km, not that sure, will check it out one of these days with the car's odometer(?). So many things to sort out and prioritize. My game, my books, my works, my research, my Ideas, my solutions and my schedule. Stuff . Although, now that I'm back home there are alot of things to fix. The pest problem in the condo: ants, fiber and food problem (a broken fridge and minimizing eating clean up), and catharsis. Catharsis . Since I can't find other gamers these days maybe I should play Age of Conan... naahhh. Anyway, there is Civ 4, warlords. And possibly a game. There is a game on Friday night and Saturday 1-6pm. I'm going. Kathy . thanks kath, hope you guys...

For the Sake of My Sanity

I should prevent any conversation with my parents EVER . It will save us all pain. If my mom ever wonders why its very hard to talk to me, I'm sure telling me my reasoning is wrong ever since I was a kid would have something to do with it. Even if my friends and my teachers think I am a very reasonable man, my mother will just POISON the well by always saying I have no reasoning ability. Sigh. Try to grow up without having some MAJOR issues in self confidence and my personal image. And of course, its a viscous cycle, because with every failure comes "I TOld you so's" and Rubbing it to my face. Everyone has demons, mine is my folks. All I can do to live a good life it to be a total jerk and blow them off. ITs easier for everyone, less argument, less hassle and less anxiety. I want to stop blaming them , and the best way is by never seeing them and making my own decisions without ther interference and "I-told-you-so's" and "In-your-face". Sometim...

Byzantine

the byzantine empire . found this interesting youtube of byzantine empire. The second one . Kinda like what I do when I play mount and blade. usually I just take on small force of around 80+ of dark knights. If I have the time, tell my army to wait and fight them with horse Archery killing them one by one till I run out of arrows. I keep repeating till they are small enough for me to crush with my force. Something like this video.
