Zunaj se je shladilo, povprecna temperatura prejsnjega tedna je bila okoli 15°C, ta teden pa gravitira bolj na 0°C … hvala ti globalno segrevanje, ljubimo te, res. Ampak, resno, mraz je super, veliko boljsi je kot vrocina. Tezko bi se odlocil zakaj, mogoce zaradi vse zabave, ki jo izluscim iz dejstva, da sem normalno oblecen, mogoce pa je preprosto zato, ker se ne pripeti na vsakem koraku, da bi razgaljene prsi hotele iztakniti moje oci. Hud mraz je pa seveda zelo slab, ponavadi tudi bolec, ampak hudega mraza tu tako skoraj nikoli ni.

Je pa z mrazom povezanih nekaj unikatnih problemov, ki jih v toplem vremenu ni. Tako imamo na primer vedno prisotno nizko sonce, ki se trudi ubiti oci vseh, ki ga gledajo, je pac nevzgojeno in neotesano. Drugi pa je, da moj najljubsi prostor za pridobivanje caja nikoli nima casa zame, vedno je polno zaseden, se sploh kadar jaz potrebujem caj. Caj je odlicen, lepo se usedes in lahko v miru ustvarjas, ampak to je zelo otezeno ce ne mores do caja …

Yes, it got cold outside, last week the average temperature was 15°C and now this week around 0°C … thank you global warming, we love you man. But seriously, I very much love cold, there's just something about it that is so very much better than heat. Maybe it's all the fun I derive from being properly clad, or maybe it's that I don't get my eyes poked out by boobies wherever they turn. Yes, severe cold, that's just bad and unenjoyable, it usually also hurts.

There are some unique problems related to col, though, that are not apparent in warmness. There is for example the ever looming, low to the ground, winter sun … that thing is just annoying with it's desire to kill people's eyes, why, why do you have to do it you silly thing! Another is the fact that my favourite tea procuring building is always full, especially when I want to go in for a cup. See, I love tea, and I do great work at tea shops, but it's difficult to do when there is nowhere to sit down and actually have that tea. Stupid too small place.

Vau (se vedno se pocutim neumno kadar ta medmet napisem v slovenscini), sploh si ne morete predstavljati kako cas bezi, ko skusas najti nacin, da spravis dovolj ur v dan in tako ustvaris moznost koncanja vseh potrebnih opravil do bozica. Hec je v tem, da sem se verjetno pogreznil pregloboko. Obstaja namrec dobro placan projekt, ki ga je treba koncati do bozica, potem pa je temu prilepljena se majhna tezava treh slik, ki sem se jih namernil ustvariti za praznicna darila.

Vse skupaj se menda zakljuci z dejstvom, da bo strip koncan in posodobljen pravocasno, v nekako treh dneh, in da bodo novice postale malce bolj raztrescene, anglezi bi rekli, da se bodo pojavljale now and anon.

Vecina ljudi tega idioma sicer ne pozna, vendar je po mojem okusu najboljsi v obstoju. Vzemimo ga torej popolnoma direktno in recimo, da now v slovenscini pomeni nekako zdaj ali celo zdajle, anon pa pomeni takoj ali zdajci. Ce jih povezemo dobimo nekaj, kar je na videz popoln oksimoron, vendar pa se izkaze, da pomeni obcasno in brez reda … fantasticen jezik.

Wow, can you imagine how time flies when you're trying to figure out a way to shove enough hours into the day to be able to finish all of the tasks at hand by Christmas. The thing is that I've probably gotten myself in too deep, there is the very lovely paid website project that has to be done and the small manner of three paintings I decided to do as holiday presents.

All in all it really adds up to the fact that the comic will be updated on time, in three days or so, and taht the news postings will go back to happening now and anon instead of anything like a schedule.

Many people are unfamiliar with the idiom now and anon but it's really the best bloody idiom in the whole English language. Looking at it literally it seems more as an oxy moron where now means at this very point in time and anon means something along the lines of right away. Put them together and what do you get? You get a phrase that means seldom … fantastic language.

Obstajajo ljudje, ki jim je pravzaprav vseeno kaksno pisalo uporabljajo, samo da pise v pravi barvi. Potem pa so tu se ljudje, ki jim je zelo pomembno kaksno pisalo imajo. Osebno spadam v drugo vrsto, ne vem zakaj tocno, ampak opazam, da z uporabo tocno dolocenega pisala tocno dolocene debeline pride do preprosto najboljsih rezultatov. Danes je pisalo umrlo. Res je, take stvari se pac dogajajo, nic posebnega. Ampak kdo bi si lahko mislil, da je tako tezko priti do zeljenega pisala.

Najprej sem sel v trgovino, kjer ponavadi rastejo in se razmnozujejo. Na zalost jim je zmanjkalo prave debeline, zato sem sel v drugo, kjer jih sploh nimajo, v tretji pa sem koncno dobil iskano …

Se nekaj zelo zanimivega se je zgodilo danes, v posti me je pricakalo prav lepo vabilo na nek literarni natecaj za kratko zgodbico. Bil sem prijetno presenecen in ker zahtevajo 1000 besed dolgo zgodbo na doloceno temo, jo bodo seveda tudi dobili.

There are some people don't really care about what kind of pen they use, just as long as it writes in the correct colour. And then there are people whom fuss quite some about the kind of pen they use. I am one of the latter, not sure why really, but I find that using the specific type of pen I got accustomed to is simply the best thing for writing by hand. Today the pen died. Nothing major, happens all the time right? It does, but I would never have imagined how hard it can be to get a new pen just like it (but new of course).

Went to the store where the pens usually reside and they were fresh out of the thickness I need, then I went to another store and was told they don't at all have such pens and the third store, finally, gave me the pen I needed. Thank you capitalism and desire to sate the customer!

Something very lovely also happened today, I got a personal notification of some writing contest directly into my e-mail inbox. It was a surprising event and a very nice one at that. They demand a 1000 word story on a specific topic and by Imhotep they are going to get it.

Danes sem kupil novega Wacom Intuos3 iz preprostega razloga, da sem si ze dolgo zelel necesa podobnega in ker kupcek denarja ni bil dovolj velik za svoj prvotni namen, je preprosto lezal ta in pocel nic, bolje torej, da se ga zapravi za nekaj.

Nisem se imel veliko casa poigrati se s stvarjo, samo eno majhno slicico, ampak reci, da po prvotnih tezavah privajanja, ki ga bo se nekaj, opazam, da je risanje veliko lazje kot z misko in samo cas bo lahko povedal koliko lazje in hitreje bo sedaj risati strip.

Today I've bought a new Wacom Intuos3 simply for the reason that I've wanted a pen tablet for quite a while now and that since I don't have enough money to buy what it was originally meant to buy it was just sitting there doing nothing, might as well spend it on something.

So far I've only created one image with it and after the initial trouble of getting used to it, and probably I'll get used to it even more, it was quite fascinating to use. It is much different from using a mouse and only time will tell how quicker and easier the comics will be produced now.

V petek me je moja najljubsa knjigarna obvestila, da je bila moja kopija knjige Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas prispela in jo lahko pridem iskat, ko se mi pac zljubi. Razlog, da sem knjigo sploh narocil, lezi v dejstvu, da je film po istem naslovu, v katerem igra Depp, eden najboljsih filmov, kar sem jih kdaj videl.

Ko sem knjigo koncno prejel, me je zanimiva naslovnica takoj zvabila v svoje mreze in se zdaj ne vem kdo je pravzaprav na njej upodobljen, Depp ali zares Thompson, ampak saj to v bistvu niti ni vazno. Knjiga je bila, po resnici povedano, tako zelo dobra, da sem jo se isti petek prebral od platnice do platnice in uzival v vsakem trenutku. Edina stvar, ki se mi je zdela malce nenavadna je, da ni knjiga nic drugacna od filma in je film celo zelo odlicna interpretacija le-te. Seveda so z lahkoto opazni manjsi spremenjeni detajli, kak dialog narejen bolj zanimiv oz. gostobeseden in naracija malo manj dolgovezna, ker se dogajanje pac vidi. Kar se pa tice tistega duha in ideje knjige pa ne more nihce ugovarjati.

Torej, kot povzetek, knjiga je odlicna in branje priporocam vsakomur.
