Day 8 - Progress

I have noticed an interesting change today. I felt myself eager to do the tasks at hand. I felt the urge to continue even though I'd met a full days quota. I found myself taking my time on each of the faces I drew, working for I would say a solid hour and a half to draw about 6 faces. All of which I am pretty impressed with. Although, I learned a harsh lesson today with regards to drawing at an angle. I had the pad flat on my desk for my last face, and the 2d image projected up at me from a skewed angle. Of course, when I finished, and finally held my pad up to the monitor to compare, it was horribly skewed like those sidewalk chalk drawings that are made to look 3 dimensional when viewed from the proper direction.

I played three games of Go, two of which devolved fairly quickly into board spanning fights. I won both by resignation. I think the life and death problems have helped immensely as I have been alot more confident in secluding and gouging out the eyes of attacking groups of stones.

Another thing I did today was play a bit of piano. I've already regained some steam just from sitting down to plunk some keys every now and then as I travel past the large piano downstairs. I think I will make a goal of trying to make a real quick song tomorrow. The kind of music I like to create is a little different from what one might expect, but, I am out of time, so you'll have to just find out tomorrow what it is!

Until then, peace out!
