Dragons rear their heads

On my Zazzle T-shirt store, after an extended period of absence. The first of many, as the title will proclaim, for the year of 2007. Remember, wearing it can give you the power of flight.
Incidentally, it’s also one of the few 2-sided T-shirt designs I’ve advocated, and it’s my first for a shirt without its white equivalent. Call me crazy, but for this particular design, I really don’t think black on white would do it justice.
That’s the front side. The back, as you might recall from earlier post, incorporates the wing design that I was working on earlier. You’ll notice the immediate deviation of style from my past designs in terms of its size; usually I try and maximize fabric real estate as much as possible; for this design, however, I chose to go with a more minimalist design so as to fit the style of the icon that adorns its front.
I may actually order one of these myself, though I have a strict policy against adoring my own works. But Chinese New Year is around the corner, and such a shirt as a harbringer of prosperity would certainly arouse my amusement, albeit weighing in at a hefty 50 Singapore Dollars (after shipping). I’d get it in blood-red, of course, if such event were to pass, but we’ll have to see.
I’ve been getting slightly more worried about my own personal study habits as of late. They’ve mainly consisted of trudging my way up a steep slope after a singularly useless day at school, plopping myself onto the couch, and taking a power nap which sometimes can last past dinner. Which is actually worrying in itself, but I’ll come to that later. What’s more pressing is that I’m hardly motivated to even crack open my pencil case anymore to get to work on my assignments or tutorials, and when I do, the urge to rip apart said material becomes overwhelmingly and increasingly malignant.
It’s worrying. And I’m not an advocate of sleeping throughout the day, but I fear the school’s air-conditioning system has conditioned my physical self in such an manner that I may find non-conducive. And since I will never wear a jacket to school unless I have an examination to sit for, it’s likely to stay that way. The solution is not, I feel, to force students to wear jackets; it’s to allow manual control over the air-conditioning system. It’s almost hypocritical to exult that energy-saving is to be a big part of the new privileges assigned to us, yet turn the fucking temperature down enough to make a polar bear feel cold-blooded.
A niggling last issue upon my mind is that the frigid wasteland also keeps me in a constant state of flu, which can only end in two ways: pneumonia or death. In case you were wondering, I’m not really a fan of either outcome.
Really.
