Day 9 - Distractions pt. 2

So much for progress! Today was, in almost direct opposition to yesterday, a failure. I completely forgot about my proposed goal of making a song until two hours until post time. Trying to hook up my keyboard so I could start working away didn't work because the cord is missing somewhere in the wild of my house. As for drawing, I did draw, but not very much. For some reason today I just didn't feel as up to it. I forced myself to eek out about five rushed, sloppy faces.

Part of it, I believe, was a lack of inspiration. Yesterday ended with me full of ideas and hopeful for the next day. Of course, waking up I lacked the energy of the previous night. Inspiration comes and goes. It's up to me to do something with it.

Of course, a much larger part of it was the multitude of distractions at my disposal. (largest of all was my allowing them to become distractions in the first place!) So, here is my interesting goal for tomorrow: To not play a single video game for the entirety of the day, and to witness the results. It will be hard, but I will turn my boredom into productivity, suddenly blossoming into energy and creativity like never before. At least, that's the plan.

Speaking of distractions. I made an interesting discovery today while playing the beast of the distractions, Ragnarok Online. An entire dungeon made of giant, flying Go boards in the sky! I couldn't believe my eyes. Well, maybe I could, since the game was made by Koreans. It was a beautiful sight, until I noticed something very, very wrong.

Can you see what is wrong with this image?

I'll leave it to you to figure out what is wrong with the screen shot above. I guess this Go heaven just wasn't to be. Well at least they tried.

Until tomorrow,
