Day 2 - The Burden of the Night Owl

It's barely right to consider these days, when really it's only the first half of them. I've been strictly making these posts before midnight, even though my days go on well into the night, and onward yet into the morning. Yesterday for instance I finally went to sleep at around 8:00 AM. Definitely not a good habit to maintain, yet for the last 5 years it has been a prominent aspect of, well, being me.

Of course, when times call for it, I can break out of my night owl tendencies, with only a few slip-ups here and there. But, for the sake of properly date stamped posts (one for each day) I will stick to my post before 12 regime. Anything I do after 12 will be saved for the next day's post.

Today I played another game of Go. The player was a single rank above me, and it was an even match. I lost by about 60 moku. This is why I believe my rank of 13 kyu on KGS (Internet Go server) is a bit inaccurate, yet not matter how many games I seem to lose, I have not been dropping in rank at all.

I have been taking it easy on the Go front until my Go books arrive. The problems with my bank account should be settled soon and I can redo my order.

As for drawing, I filled in another page today. About 5 sketches of faces taken from a website called Last Nights Party. (BE AWARE: Link contains some nudity) This time, though, I have photos! They aren't the best quality since I had to photograph them as opposed to scanning them, but that's okay.

Here I have one drawing from yesterday and two from today:

Yes, I added in the monocle. I mean, how could you imagine this guy without one?

This one not my best effort, but that's why I am making this blog now isn't it?

Criticism is welcome and encouraged, so if there are any artists that may stumble upon this post then have at it.

Expect more full featured updates in the future.

Until then,
