Guess what, I'm absolutely bored with blogging.

( quite stiff statement, ha!? )

So everyone who is reading this right now and still wants to be informed about things I have to say:
Just follow the RSS-Feed I've provided on my Website. For those not already knowing RSS, go check it out! It's very cool, and Firefox can handle it out of the box.

A lot has been happening during my blog-absence time and I'm going to recapitulate everything as well as possible.

Yesterday I met with a good friend of mine, you can read more about that in my last entry, if you like. As you maybe read out of the description of my scrap number 00002 (on my homepage), yesterday, I've bought anything that I need for mixing my own oil-color.

Well, what did I buy?

• several pigments
• red (azo-scarlet)
• yellow (cadmium)
• blue (ultramarine)
• white (titan)
• black (soot carbonization)
• a small glass muller
• turpentine oil
• linseed oil varnish
• a few empty syringes

Yesterday I gave it a first try.
I put a little spot of oil onto a flat glass, and, with a spoon, carefully covered it with black pigment (at least I don't want to poison my self with anything). I took an old butter-knife from the kitchen and mixed the pigment and oil together. Than I let it rest for about 5 minutes. After about 5 passes with the muller I gave it another rest. I repeated that several times. I put the ready mixed and tooth-paste like black color into a syringe and built little caps to fully close them.

Now to what I didn't tell
It was a terrible mess, and I acted like a complete fool, surrounded with even more mess. Luckily everything, till the mixing went well, so no pigment or liquid took any harm. It was just my desk, my bathroom and... even one of my walls. Now, everything got cleaned up again and I know that I have to obtain more skills in filling the colors into syringes (that's where it escalated). I wasn't able to stick the back of the syringe back in, so I put a little pressure onto. The result was a black worm crawling up on one of my walls, haha. (luckily ONLY the wall was hit). now I have about 15 ml of black oil-color, which satisfies me already. Over the next days I'll iterate through the other pigments, to collect some experience and routine with the process (and probably get some sterno).

I appreciate any useful suggestion, or comment,
thanks for your precious time.

It's lunch-break, that's why I decided to write another blog entry. My roommates are eating deliciously smelling stuff, that's why I'm quite hungry like a hell-hound right now. However, I'll eat later on / probably 7:00 PM :-(

As you've maybe seen, my homepage has a new analog-art-section, named "scraps". Here I am going to upload sketched ideas, studies, works in progress and everything that isn't suitable for the other sections. If you're a very sophistic reader you may also have noticed, that they are made in the youth-center of Cadolzburg, which is quite unusual for my drawings.

I'll give you the reason for this:
A well organized movement is right ahead, because some slight fanatic artists from Cadolzburg (me included) have compiled a little art-corner in the local youth-center. usually hard-coded locations+terminations are pretty much doomed to decay, however this one has some sort of flexible time, which makes its existence possible. You can go there and draw if you like and if you're a lucky one, someone will join you (moreover, this is mostly the case). The vantage is crystal clear, you can communicate with other artists and it gives you a much higher motivation than simply drawing alone. if only more than one person is interested in it, it will always have a self consisting existence.

Originally, the reason for it's assembling was the meeting between an old friend of mine and me at the youth-center "Herz" in Cadolzburg, for drawing some sketches together. Pretty soon some other artists joined us and BAM, there it goes.

Today he'll pick me up on a ride to the Bösner, a big shop for artists in Nuremberg. He wants to see that shop and maybe buy several equipment there. I am going to purchase some stuff for oil-painting. A red, blue and yellow pigment, as well as suitable oil, biological-turpentine-oil and maybe such a glass thingie for strictly combining the colors with the oil on a glass-plate. Also I got to know someone who can possibly provide some pigments for free, (he's working with chemicals and tests colors), however they're mostly poisonous.

I'm really interested in painting something with oil, because my acrylic colors are easily drying up on my palette within a few strokes on the canvas, which puts me under time pressure and limits my concentration on the drawing process itself.

Well, I'm done like bottle empty,

There is about 1 hour left between me, my girlfriend and the weekend. For tomorrow I took a day off, because at the evening we'll be at DSA, and that can take very long (e.g. 4 AM).

For today I'm done with everything that had to be done, now I have infused a tee. Today I have worked throughout my lunch break, without noticing it, so I am taking it now. That's why I'm typing this right now. : D
_{(I wouldn't do this during my working time.)}

Yesterday I had a visit of two good friends, we've eaten something together and had a funny evening. Moreover we fooled a ticket inspection on their way home by lying about ones age.
_{(We're Extremely cool, aren't we?) >B-D>}

Yesterday I had roasted noodles. However, I could eat them today again, which I probably will. My menu looks very blunt the recent time, it's full of rice, noodles, potatoes and everything else that is cheap and sates. All because of my piano, but I'm still miles away from it, haha. Well, it's funny anyhow. I guess I'll stay with that diet, it's very tasty.

Since last weekend I have a light cough, but I'm about to stem it pretty well. With tee and drops.

Ok, that's it for now

Greetings,

Today I've updated almost everything that can be updated and with this entry my blog and LiveJournal will be updated too, haha.

For now I have done everything that was on my agenda today, I've cleaned the dishes, cleaned my kitchen and vacuumed my flat, now I'm feeling very harmonic and free of duties. I love that feeling.

( wanna read more, baby? )

I'm done for now.

- ecki

I didn't know whether putting my knife stuff under a cut or not. Well, I did.

( Knifenerdism to go -> )

Next Friday will be DSA (Das Schwarze Auge - a pen on paper role play) again, and I'm really looking forward to it. Especially because my Girlfriend will stay at my place from Thursday to Saturday or Sunday. :D

Over the next 3 weeks I will be at vocational school again, and my midterm exam will most likely be on the 4th of March. So there's a lot to be done. The main part of the exam is to find the location anywhere in town. Or at least for me, my orientation is ghastly.

Currently it looks as if the end of February will be the great piano-time for me, but I shouldn't reckon on that.

_{(Something I have to revisit from my previous entry:
If you are interested in hearing some recording's of my singing + give me your opinion about it, just leave me a note.)}

Germanic greetings

_{Information on Eckiminati.de: -----------------------}
Well, as you can probably see, I have included the possibility to subscribe to my Weblog via RSS. So there arose one question for me: Shall I do any more advertisement around that Feed, like with a nice icon + link anywhere on my page, or is it obvious enough that my website supports it?
_{--------------------------------------------------}

The day before yesterday I got my new kitchen tap. The last few weeks I had to live without water in my kitchen. I reminded me a bit of old farmhouse-living, if you want to prepare a hot meal, you just have to go and get some water at the well (or at least from my bathroom).

( the facts are these . . . )

Greetings, I like you.

This entry will be more like some sort of twittering, however usually I don't like short-blogging-services of any kind. Today is just about finding some open minds that are willing to help me.

Surely some of you have noticed it already, I've started to practice some singing exercises and to record several songs. Well I'm not some sort of "I'm practicing deeply in the cellar"-guy, for me it's more like a communicative sort of learning (which I think is really important for a good singing).

So that brought me to my following question. Do you wanna hear some recordings of mine and give me your opinion? If you want to I can upload them on a regular base and append them to my entries. I'm not working with some sort of vocal coach or teacher, however I do know what I'm doing and I do have a bunch of professional singing exercises, so I'm not just working into the blue.

My recordings are not very good yet, but they are about to get better. Your opinion would help me keeping track of my progress.

_{Of course I'm NOT doing this because I want some sort of positive resonance, I just want an open jury. If my singing sounds like a farting donkey someday, you are really allowed to say that too.}

If enough people are interested I'm going to make a little poll about it, "which song (e.g. out of three) would you like me to record next?", or something alike.

So to let me know, simply leave a comment on that entry.

Today is not any Friday, no, today is a damn it freezing cold Friday (-17°C/1°F) with a damaged heater beneath my desk. Nobody knows how long it will be staying that way, however everybody in here knows that it's cold. Country: Germany, feels like: Siberia

( To put it under a cut... )

- ecki

This entry is pretty long, so I'll put it under a cut. Just how I said on my homepage, I'm too lazy to write everywhere something special an new, that's much to complicated and time wasting for me. I'm going to write my entries once and post them mainly on my website and a copy here on Livejournal.
( MIST'R D!!!... )

I'll be putting the entry itself under such a cut, but additional information will be written outside. I have a lot of sketches which must be scanned and uploaded. There are also a lot of sketches that I have scanned and uploaded on DeviantArt, but not overtaken in the paintbox. Sorry for being that lazy, ahaha. But I'll keep the paintbox alive, sure!

- ecki

fuck fuck fuck
I've started my first entry, after about 250 words I hit some stupid shortcut which fucked up my browser, I hate webfrontends for uploading stuff.

Well I'll try to reconstruct my entry, haha
<sub>(I hate reconstructing entries, that's why I'm now writing in an extern texteditor, and just paste it into web when done.)

#---------------------(entry reconstruct start)-----------</sub>
I'm still struggling whether I should write my entries here in english or in german, but I think I'll write them in english, because it helps me improving my skills and more people are able to understand me.
_{(If you find any mistakes, don't hesitate to note them to me, because otherwise you'll have to read them again and again, because I'm not getting better, haha).}

for my bloggin on EckiminatI.de I'll change my style, because I can't stand that simple and plain writing anymore (at least on my website). If you want to know what I mean, you can ask me or wait for an new blogentry on my homepage. On LiveJournal I'll keep my old writing-style.

Now I'm going to lead over to recent events:
_{That weekend I've been to the "feuertanz-festival" on castle abenberg in Germany, with 2 friend of mine. There have been 6 bands (Nachtgeschrei, Rabenschrey, Saltatio Mortis, Fiddler's Green, Subway to Sally, In Extremo). I'll write a short statement to any one of them:}

Nachtgeschrei: In my opinion, the best band on that Saturday, I wanted to buy a CD, but they've been sold-out (and I think this is very self-explanatory).
Rabenschrey: that band sucked hard, we've got to sing something that sounded like "Ooooooooh Wie, DAS NERVT!", don't know what we're ought to sing.
Saltatio Mortis: They rocked like always, but they played almost exclusively songs from their new album, however I like them better.
Fiddler's Green: They sucked, because the bass was the only instrument we were able to hear, not even a single voice, only "DUZ DUZ DUZ".
Subway to Sally: The same here, only "DUZ DUZ DUZ", that was the point where we went out of the crowd (our heads already ached from the DUZ!).
In Extremo: well... the same here

We watched Subway to Sally and In Extremo from distance, the sound was a bit better than exactly in front of them. We took the time to walk around on the market and talked to several people.

depends on the bands whether we'll go to "feuertanz" next year or not.
_{(They need a new sound-engineering as fast as possible!)}

I'm going to join Nisis Sketchblog, (if it's ok).
Now I've got enough time and enough sketches to keep my account there alive. that's why I asked.

well, now enough for my first entry here.
Thank you for your patience.
