Well, I know I said I was going to actually stay away from the net for 2 whole days. I couldn’t do it. I had to check my e-mails. I had to see everything was ok on the net. Strange nothing really much to report, a couple of cool pictures from the WonderCon convention, but apart from that no really major things happened.

In the time period I stepped away from the net:

1. I got some work on Shuttle done.

<li>I completed 3 digital illustrations (which effectively makes me down by 1 drawing to be on schedule with my new year's resolution of 1 illustration a week).</li>
<li>Would you believe I actually got some more writing down. I've even got a clear path of how to go about this writing business. Let's see if I can keep it up.</li>
<li>Worked up a mockup both on paper first, then in Photoshop of how the new index file fo BK is going to be. I'm really happy with the changes. Oh sure it's a bit of a departure, but to be honest once I explain my reasoning everything will become clear. I've made sure that everything is there for a reason, so nothing really takes away from the 'content'.</li>
<li>Started character drawing for the Iliosnare website. See this actually depressed me, because it showed me that I'd forgotten how to draw basic anatomy. There are several rules, that once you've mastered them you're away, and I'm so rusty I completely forgot some of the basic ones, which ended up me having a complete potatoe for an arm. So I whipped out my Hogarth books again and started rereading things. Which basically means I've got to get back into drawing by hand so as to not get rusty and forget things. 2 hours a day I think should about do it.</li>
<li>Watched the first episode of <a href="http://browncoats.serenitymovie.com/serenity/">Joss Whedon's Firefly</a>. I'll definitely have a nice review up for that shortly because I've been looking for a good sci-fi series to get into. For me Babylon 5 is the king of Sci-fi series for TV. I got Series 4 on DVD yesterday, I know lame as Series 5 has already been released. The thing is though, this is my absolute favourite series of all as well. So many good twists in the story. Watched the first episode of that as well.</li>
<li>Read half of the <strong>Little Prince</strong>. Good book so far. Try and finish it off today sometime, and I'll write a bit about that as well.</li>

So the moral of the story kids, is that if you want to get things done, turn off the Net. It’s depressing, but I am addicted to it. Couldn’t even step away for 2 days. I’m going to try and reduce my net time to a specific time allocation every day, like in the days of 56k modems. I might actually get things done that way.
