i took the dogs out at 7:45 this a.m. into a painfully cold wind. we walked halfway to the park before i decided my hands were actually in too much pain to continue. 'round we turned and came home (though they weren't complaining ~ dogs are made of sterner stuff apparently).
so i sit down and look at the weather online. with the wind chill it's -28° degrees. well. that explains that.
see, anything over 10 degrees feels just fine to me. it's when you drop into the single digits and the negative numbers that i actually start to feel it. apparently we're having a high of 2° today. sweet.

thank you all for your suggestions and thoughts on my split-narrative problem. i re-read my 35 pages from the weekend and was very discouraged to find i must have been high while writing them: the chronology is so confusing, even i was baffled for a moment (and that's really bad when you're the one calling the shots).
i think it's all fixable, but i still haven't got Morse's voice "right". it falls out. the other two characters are so easy it's almost scary (i am sometimes disturbed at how easy it is for me to play a sociopathic 17 year-old boy). in spite of having models for Morse, however, finding the right combination of spare, poetic, and profound is not easy (especially if you yourself are not spare, poetic, or profound).
so instead of thinking about this last night (for fear of getting still more discouraged and depressed), i popped in the X-files and doodled.
see, i've got faces down pretty good, i think. for the most part anyway. but i'm still having problems with bodies. not in terms of proportion or anything like that. i can draw a body. i just can't seem to draw it in the same style as the head. so this is something i need to work on. since i've moved to a more cartoony style of face, i need to also make the bodies more cartoony. so far not too much luck. i'm hoping Griffo will help me out in this department. i'm looking for that middle ground between comic-style and animé that you often see in European comics. i got a lot of work to do yet.
if i draw anything really cool today, i'll try to post it later. i think i may venture forth and check out Dick Blick locally and maybe git myself some inspiration (without spending any money ~ it's like visiting the zoo: you get the pet all the art supplies, but don't take any home).
