Blankets, Backaches, and Boxes.

THIS POST IS OF MANY FIRSTS, THIS IS MY FIRST BLOG POST FOR THIS YEAR, FIRST ALL MOBILE POST, FIRST UNEARTHLY HOUR POST(3.53am) AND FIRST POST LYING IN BED. OK, APOLOGIES WAY AHEAD FOR THE UPPER CASE,(I REALLY DONT KNOW HOW TO TURN IT OFF ON THE E72)THE BAD SPELLINGS(I AM BADLY LEARNT), AND FOR THE SHEER LACK OF TOPIC(FOR WHICH MY BLOG IS LEGENDARY!). WELL ALL OF THIS STARTS BECAUSE I CHOSE A BLANKET/QUILT THAT WAS WAY TOO HEAVY AND MILITANTLY INSULATING FOR A MILD MANNERED WINTER NIGHT IN BANGALORE. I AM SWEATED OUT, UNDER THE QUILT, AND WHATS WORSE HAVE THE FAN ON. MY SON AND WIFE HAVE PROTESTED BY CLUTCHING THEIR LIGHT FLUFFY FLEECE BLANKETS AROUND THEMSELVES AND EMBRACING DEEP SLEEP. ME ON THE OTHER HAND HAVE LOST MY SLEEP, AND HAVE BEGUN BLOGGING IN LOUD CAPS, THIS QUIET NIGHT OF JANUARY. I WAS JUST READING KEDAR'S BLOG AND HIS BATTLES WITH BUILDING A LIGHT BOX FOR TRACING, AND IT LED TO ME REMEMBERING A WHILE AGO WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE SAME EXPERIENCE OF CROUCHING OVER A FLAT BOX WITH A MAKESHIFT ZERO WATT BULB UNDER IT. THAT LIGHT BOX IS DEFUNCT NOW, LYING SOMEWHERE IN THE NON ACCESSIBLE ATTIC SPACE AT MY PARENTS HOME. TTHE FLAW WITH MY LIGHT BOX WAS , WELL IT TRULY WAS A BOX. NO THOUGHT WAS SPARED ON LEGROOM AND OFTEN I HAD TO SPREAD MY LEGS WIDE TO LEAN FORWARD AND REACH THE MILKY GLASS TOP TO TRACE. THE BAD DESIGN OF MY MAKESHIFT LIGHT BOX HELPED ME CHOOSE BETWEEN A CAREER IN ADVERTISING VERSUS RISKING PERMANENT MUSCLE DAMAGE TO THE GROIN AND NECK AREAS while(hey crappy caps disappeared.) attempting to pursue a career in cell animation and character design. Well, my point is, if you are serious about animation, tracing, or staring into a light box as a hobby, do not try and build a lightbox by yourself, please look up the internet for simple light box designs like this one here.



unless you want to conquer the world of animation like this.

YAAAAwnnnnnnn!!
