@WoomyNNYes It's a possibility. This wouldn't be the first time I've had a reaction in my eyes, though it usually manifests in a tamer manner. Weird thing is it isn't itchy so much as it's just irritating and mildly painful. Been trying to leave it alone.

you know i did

its one of those things were yer like..."why am i looking at this?" then you say "why would i not look at this" then you feel weird for wanting to eat it lol

I drew my sketch of Jayden the Blue Jay as Avian Kickboxer. He is a High School student grade 11, classmate of Russell the Red Cardinal. Both Russell and Jayden are troublemaker in their school and like to bully Endymion the Swallow oftenly.

I drew too left so his right wing looked cropped. 😅

My new 1TB SD card came in the mail today! Yay!

My 8 year old PC's SD card read is apparently dead! Wont read any card I try.

Guess I have to redownload.... everything...

How long is it gonna take to redownload 380gb? I guess I will find out.

@Anti-Matter awesome!
How long did it take you to draw this.
Any backstory?

@DenDen
I drew my Jayden last Sunday.
Took 4 hours to draw but his face was the most difficult part.
When i saw Blue Jay real animal photos, it looked easy to draw but almost their photos were profile view with almost no 3/4 or straight on view. I tried to compare the mascot design from Google image and eventually i found one mascot design that facing front so i tried to design based on the mascot i found but still maintaining my drawing style.

As oppose from Blue Jay's natural spiky hair that facing backward, i drew Jayden with his spiky hair facing forward. But for Russell Red Cardinal, i will draw his hair exactly like real animal to differ between Blue Jay and Red Cardinal.

About Jayden, i was thinking the relationship between him and Endymion in the past when they were still Kindergarten student, Jayden behave not really nice with Endymion. They were separated (not study at the same school) when study in Primary school. But they met again when they were Senior High School student. Jayden got influenced by Russell about his behavior, slowly turned him into bullier. Endymion was a handsome nerd bird and was the cleverest student on his grade 10. But he was so defenseless as he was quite shy and couldn't fight back. Endymion has relationship with his old friend, Dave the Dove (my main character for Avian Kickboxer story) when they were still Primary and Junior High School (they were studying in the same school). They got separated when they were Senior High School but Dave still oftenly meet with Endymion after school hour and during part time job. Eventually, Dave have made Endymion signed in Avian Kickboxing Club in his school with the coach Mr Tsurugi the Red Crown Crane as one of Avian Kickboxer Legend 4.

Well, that was a whole story about my Avian Kickboxers. 😅

@Anti-Matter awesome!!
Fun story much details about his drawing, I like his hair a lot.

@Heavyarms55 1TB micro sd, regular sd? Either way, cool. If it's not for switch, do you have usb 3.0 ports? Either way, feel free to share how long tranferring 380gb takes

@DenDen
Oh, btw.
This is Endymion the Swallow i was talking about.

Not bad for a wimpy nerd student after got trained by Mr Tsurugi.

It reminds me of Kratos.

Wow, looks like there was a relatively big earthquake in Mexico City, and there’s pictures of structural damage going around, and some rather impressive videos of sidewalks and entire buildings shaking from side to side.

I haven’t heard of anyone being hurt, but seeing the ground just visibly wobble like that is quite scary.

Important News: Where I live, today is the 100th day of quarantine! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

@Eel That's bad. I had no idea, the two news sites my work PC defaults to, BBC and Yahoo, did not mention it. Is that close to where you are?

@WoomyNNYes It's for Switch. Been downloading for about 12 hours and I want to say things are roughly 50-60% done? Because of the way Switch shows the downloads for each software title, instead of one big bar, it's hard to judge. It would probably be faster if I had a wired connection for my Switch but oh well. I'm hoping things will be nearly done when I get home from work in about 8 hours.

It's not even been a day and I feel like I'm going into withdraws! I wanna play Pokemon and Xenoblade!

On the plus side, this does make it easier for me to work on my apartment. Lot's of chores I've neglected, like cleaning the closet. Yesterday I spent like 2 hours tearing up cardboard boxes from like the last 6 months worth of online orders as well as getting rid of months of glass and plastic bottles that I had neglected disposing off. (It's too easy to just rinse, toss in the box and forget about it!)

@Heavyarms55 nope, It’s quite far. But we do have family and friends there. They’re all fine, thankfully.

Apparently it was a 7.5 earthquake, and there were several smaller aftershocks. I guess since it wasn’t a huge tragedy, other countries didn’t see it as news worthy.

It's funny, but I've never seen a frontlight GBA SP model in person. The flea shop I used to go back in 2008-2009 only had the AGS-101 model (tons of them too).

@Eel Dude I'm not remotely connected to Mexico in any way, no friends or family, and never been. But the fact that a 7.5 earthquake hits a major country and it doesn't even warrant a mention on the front page of self-declared major news organizations is just nasty.

Not surprising, but nasty nonetheless.

Glad you and your friends and family are alright.

@Eel
7.5 Ritcher scale?! 🤪
That was really scary earthquake.
How was your place situation aftershock ?

I noticed there was an earthquake in Oaxaca MX today, @Eel. I noticed💖 (at least thats what google said) I asked my friend if she felt it in CDMX, and I hadn't heard from her yet. I'm assuming she's fine, since she posted an unrelated picture after the earthquake, like nothing happened.

@heavyARMS55 Ha, I just did the same dame routine, sunday. Cleaned out the closet, cut down some amazon boxes My closet is badass again. Then today I played several Rocket League matches horribly.

@Anti-Matter as I mentioned, I don't live near Mexico City, so we got nothing here.

Here, I found a compilation with several short videos people took during the earthquake.

Edit: Yeah I heard it was also felt in Oaxaca. Though I haven't heard much about that yet.

I did see a blurb about that 7.5 in Mexico City today via The Weather Channel app on my phone. I'm glad that it wasn't a huge tragedy and hope that any injuries and fatalities were few. The sad thing is that it only would've garnered more headlines if there had been more negativity associated with it.... @Eel 's video compilation is interesting to watch as you can easily observe the wave motion characteristic to earthquakes.

Quakes occur here, but they aren't very common and feel weird when you aren't used to experiencing them. Went through my first one in the early morning hours one spring day during my sophomore year of high school. I was awakened from sleep and legit thought my sister was lightly shaking our bunk bed for a second. XD IIRC that one was a 5.2, and there was a pretty hefty aftershock later that morning when I was at school.
