Welcome to Watching Pasta Boil, a periodical update on Wendell's whereabouts and doings.

ENTRY 1


Hey hey, babes! I've been doing well. Not feeling particularly healthy - my mouth has this very sour taste all the time and smoking really takes a toll on my brain - but I am feeling happy.


I'm currently working on:

  • Urgent college work!
  • College work!
  • [LANCER] Horus. I started working on them with a certain delay and they're looking... really off, even for something that's meant to be off-model. Hmph, it's gonna take a fat long while 'til you get to see 'em.
  • Sketching. I have a good amount of sketches to make a new Sketch Dump. I'll curate them and if I have enough good looking ones, I might post a new 'Dump this week!


I've been thinking about:

  • UFO 50. Recently got the game, I've beaten Bushido Ball, Waldorf's Journey, Mooncat (one egg left) and the secret 51st game! My favorites so far are Bushido Ball, Campanella 2, Party House and Pingolf. I have the urge to draw every party member from Party House... maybe in the future I'll make a "sticker horde" style post of 'em?
  • Street Fighter: 3rd Strike. I love this jank ass game so much. I used to play it with my saturday (D&D) group every time we got together, but the member that brought his hacked Playstation stopped showin' up because of family problems... I found an online ROM of the game, though, which entertains me from time to time.
  • Lovers. I miss kissing, cuddling, pet names... and the rest that comes attatched with a romantic partner. Even the bad things.
  • My monday/friday (D&D) group. More people, more sessions per week, bigger setting... it's an overwhelming worldbuilding project, what me and my friends came up with.
  • Shibari. Won't elaborate!
  • Rocky Horror Picture Show. My college's cinema club screened it last Halloween and I really liked it. That is, until Meatloaf comes out of a freezer and started doing a musical number. I said "what the Hell am I watching at 10PM on a tuesday" and went home. I should watch the rest someday. I'm dying of antici... . . .


. . . ... pation!

  • Saiyūki (simply refered to as "Monkey" in the West). Ancient live action show retelling Journey to the West. The theme song is stuck in my head, the crappy dub is stuck in my head, I HAVE MONKEY IN MY HEAD!!!
  • Magical studies. I've been practicing some quick spells and keeping my ritual practices in check since my current Plastic Arts project is about just that... it's impressive how much magic makes part of our lives. Two friends of mine have unintentionally described to me two spells which I have added to my compendium, neither of them really believing in supernatural forces. My teachers also seem quite enthusiastic about my project, encouraging me and showing this strange, sentimental investment to my project... meanwhile stomping and spitting on my classmates' work. If only I could do something to improve the studio's atmosphere... what kind of magic spell to use? Slime and snails or puppy dog tails? Thunder and lightning, something frightening...


Other news:

  • Many of you saw this blogpost and thought: "oh yeah, Torah review!". I won't won't do it, I did the Bible and the Quran, so why shouldn't I do the three abrahaamic essentials, right? It's really just not a priority for me right now. Believe it or not, I really do read the whole thing. And again, I'm busy. Being busy is the whole reason why I'm doing this new bit.
  • I've recently had to tell my mom why she should not use funny AI filters on our family photos. I don't think I've ever talked to her so harshly. I feel bad of course, it's my dear mother, but it's a very necessary evil. On this note:
  • People have been going crazy over Studio Ghibli-styled AI images. I personally find it absolutely depressing. The poor old man's knees shake like a tree in a rainstorm and all this empty-heartedness is like Damocles' sword hovering above his head. The AI situation is so bad that it's not a moral question anymore, it's environmental and economical too. Political too - thank you, White House Twitter account, what in God's name is wrong with you?!
  • The weather is strange here. It's basically summer, people are going to the beach and everything! Y'know what I saw today? A pair of sandals! On someone's feet! And there I was, wearing a black bomber jacket! Can't wait for April's horrendous downpour.


I think that's all?

Oh, well.

See ya soon!

Good morning, everyone! I spent all night reading the Qur'an and as promised, here's my honest review!


iu_1352500_9484520.webp


... It's pretty much the same thing. Jesus is there. "These words are hallowed and thou shall not disobey them, lest you lose Allah's trust" and all that jazz. A lot less story and metaphor, which I enjoyed, but overall, nothing really new and really "out there" was presented.


I don't understand why catholics and muslims have been at war for millennia: they worship the exact same thing!


I give the Qur'ân four khatims out of five shahadahs - really decent stuff, do reccomend!

Happy new year everybody! How you doin'? Finals week has me beat, euff!

Today I went to a bookstore and I found this neat copy of The Holy Bible. Heard about it before, somewhere, so I gave it a superficial demo read.

Flipped through some pages... pretty daunting stuff. Whoever wrote some of these stories clearly wasn't in a good headspace at the time. But there were at least some good things to pull from it, like, all those messages about being kind, keeping to yourself, trying to make your environment better for all who you share it with...


The writing is a little archaic at times and I'm a very scatterbrained reader. That and the story being told at break-neck speed really didn't help. It was hard to read through but I think I enjoyed it.


I give The Holy Bible four tetragrammatons out of five pentacles - really decent stuff, do reccomend!

I don't know who drew this, I just kinda found it, but it rocks.

Why is he posed like that? Does Tails know how badass he looks?

Okay, get this. PDF collab. You make a PDF file, between 5 and 10 pages long. It can be about anything you want. No NSFW.


Some more guidelines would have to be added, but for a prototype this is enough.

It would be a genius collab.


But what the heck would I do with all the PDFs? How would I mash them up in a collab?

This is why I made this blogpost. Help me out here, will ye?
