Woke up today to find the veranda covered in snow. I told my partner yesterday that it was snow temperature. Growing up in a place with snowy winters, you develop that skill.

I really need to note where I am finding music along with the music I am listening to. It's easy to forget the spots and really frustrating when I want to go back to them. Sometimes you can go back with an Internet search but often the source fades into the distance.

Spent some time yesterday making an animation in Rough Animator for a flyer coming up. I found an old dance step illustration from the 1960s and created panels from them. There are only six panels so I created a transition panel to try and smooth things out. Turned out pretty good but I need to practice hands and faces a lot more.

I woke up today with a note night me wrote that "it is ok to not make titles for blog posts". Morning me is thinking "have a title but make some challenge like try to boil the post down to two words".

I am able to write titles or I could get lazy and let the robots write them. Two (or three) words seems more fun. I'm also kinda curious what a list of them would look like over time.

Very thankful for the medicine that is keeping the cough that started last Wednesday night. I am so zonked from it though that I made zero progress on the video I need to finish before the cherry trees start blooming in Tokyo. I have about three weeks to get it done. Spent the whole weekend practicing animation in Rough Animator. Nothing but false starts though. I do thing each false start was one better than the last though...so progress?
