Watch it if you get the chance, and see how Japanese animate this masochistic bat-fetishist hero :P

Stormy Day Adventure

The Tropical Storm "Frank" raged last night and left problems like flooding, brownouts and stranded passengers. So rather than getting work done, I decided to sleep over at the office as the rain /winds were strong and power/internet was probably down everywhere.

Around lunch today I decided to force my way home. I rode a cab, but he dropped me off a couple of blocks away, saying that my destination was severely flooded. I was a bit pissed so I changed my mind and commuted. It was fine until we stopped around St. Luke's, unable to go forward due to a couple of blocks waist deep in flood.

Not sure what my train of thought was, but I ended up taking the most tedious solution: I walked.

Without familiarity of the area nor landmarks to guide me, I soldiered on and just kept walking. I backtracked a couple of times, blocked by subdivisions or more floods. The map below shows the path I took, St. Luke's to Capitol Medical.
It was kinda fun knowing where you are, where you want to go, but not knowing how to get there.

Awesomeness

Macross Awesomeness (1600x1131. 481kb) (original is 2480x1754)

This is a poster I designed to be hung at home and the office. It was inspired by Barney Stinson's Awesomeness poster, but mine has a twist of Macross.

The Valkyrie portraits are by Tenjin Hidetaka.
