You know, I gotta admit this... the past three weeks without readily-available internet have taken a toll on me. Honestly, being able to have access to the net 24/7, and having a computer 10 feet away from me at most times were paramount. So much so that after I got robbed I went through a period much like what people go through with drungs, alcohol, etc. Not kidding. I'm not saying I didn't have a life, but the ability to sit down, make something in Bryce, Wings, etc., the absolute freedom of getting news from anywhere I wanted, watching movies on a whim, listening to whatever music I liked just by popping the dvd or cd in (good save, no?)... it was liberating. NOT having all these things has been a kick in the groin. So much so that when I furtively downloaded Wings3D on a comp here and tried to model something I realized that I was completely out of it. Interesting no? On the one hand you have the natural addiction to information and entertainment, to the world of 3D, and on the other you have the realization that too much time away from these things also curtails your ability to properly work with them once you do resume things. Don't know how much of it makes sense or not. But I do know that my 'talent' isn't as much a native thing as a learned process, and by staying away from bryce for this while, together with my semi-depression at the events of the last three weeks or so... it goes away.
