might have figured out how to internalize an elbow strike to launch with great speed and force to a region that, with chance, could induce an instant knockout when there's little to no room to move one's arms while locked in a grab from behind by a larger and stronger opponent(even if one's arms are held stuck to their sides or against their chest).

it seems to fit within the guidelines of what makes for a sound wing chun technique, and is transferable to augmenting a normal forward facing wing chun elbow strike, so that is also pleasing.

i gave my GF a ride to her grandmother's house today, as her dad who usually gives her a ride was busy, and her grandmother couldn't get out of her driveway because the plumber was blocking it. damn ford transits....

i was with her at her school, after classes had ended. she asked me for one, i biked home and then came back in the toyota. i imagine a lot of people are afraid to ask their partners for things like that, in fear of coming across as too needy or demanding, but i really do like having someone in the passenger seat that isn't my mom.

especially when that passenger kisses you at the end. (and leaves her hi tech red .03 mm pentel pencil in the crevice of doom between the center console and passenger seat...)

Had a minor breakthrough this evening while struggling with my latest artwork. I combined too many different types of pencil and pen, ended up with a real mess, (how I wish I could just 'load' an earlier version - traditional artist issues!) but adding yet another medium to the fray has surprisingly sorted it out completely, making it look better than I hoped for.


that's a wonderful feeling, no? i wonder, what medium that was.

one of my biggest specific issues with "traditional art" is the deep etching marks that my hard pencils (use HB to 5H exclusively) make when i'm drafting. when not careless, what was originally meant to be a preliminary sketch line to be erased later finds itself permanently mated to the paper's texture, even when you erase it. wish i knew of some way to even out the little canyons in those cases. THAT would make me happy, any day.

i see you're brave enough to use pen. :jester: that's cool....i'm not, unless the pencil 'phase' is already done and i'm just outlining. :D

I rarely go above HB, even for writing at times I'll use a B. Keeping a supply of ready-sharpened ones solves the issue of them dulling part-way through, and the issue of marks on the page.

I'm too much of a critic on myself though...

I was walking through UniSA with the office walking group when I spotted a $10 note on the ground. Without breaking my stride and I bent down, picked it up and stuffed it in my wallet. This is great because three days ago I lost $15 one street south. I lost a five and a ten. Maybe it was the same ten. Maybe it had been blowing around for three days and I found it :)
