9:14 pm - art
|
I'm trying to draw more (well, no, that's not entirely accurate - I'm not trying, I just am), and it's wonderful. I think what caused a veritable constipation of artsing (like that? copyright new verb!) about is the fact that I was so consumed with trying to make things perfect and every bit I churned out had to be amazing to behold. It's intimidating, really, and in the end, you just don't feel like arsing with it because sometimes, your hand just doesn't want to cooperate.
Now, though, I'm having fun just scribbling when the mood takes me (and it does quite often these days). I've discovered that it doesn't have to be perfect, or even all that well rendered - it's just got to be where you are at that point in time, even if that means millions of scrawlings of various stick figures and cows.
I'm also becoming more patient with my drawing. I'm taking time to hash out backgrounds (well, more than I used to) and adding little details without it being a rush job. It's relaxing just getting lost in creating shapes.
TL;DR: LOOKEE LOOKEE AT WHAT I DID FOR HIH TODAY:
( MONDO VERSION )
You should also see this piece I was scribbling out over six hours whilst watching Dexter this morning, but it's not completed yet. I've half a page to fill in still. Well, more like a quarter, really. Two-thirds? meh.

12:13 am - 2011 Yearbook & various projects
|
In which I attempt to remember to take a photo every day in 2011 which I will eventually mash together in a stunning animation depicting the passage of time. Original, yep, that's me!
I've elected to shoot my street looking north. It seems simple enough.
( Leaving Omaha )
I'm also attempting to draw a picture a day, but all on the same sheet of paper, so I'll scan those in as they fill up.
Also also wik I'm saving every crossword puzzle I finish this year in the order I complete them. There's a nail above my desk I was going to use to hang my calendar on, but now it's been appropriated as the crossword hanging post.
See?:
Holy crap, do I love crosswords. It may or may not be why I initially identified with Sirius Black so much.

7:57 am - *blows dust off* advent calendar, door #1
|
Several of the feeds I follow on Twitter (well, two, but a good idea is a good idea) are doing virtual Advent calendars in which they post something fun each day of December, and as I parenthetically stated, a good idea is a good idea, so I've opted to hop on the bandwagon and have decided to post a silly drawing or whatever comes to mind in the days leading up to Christmas. Check out that run-on sentence. Hot damn, I'm amazing.
Anyway, happy December, you saucy tea kettles; here's your first pressie:
( door no. 1 reveals... )

9:02 am - Writer's Block: Between a rock and a hard place
|
As far as something to be placed in? Definitely the spiders. I wouldn't particularly mind a pit of snakes (especially if it were a pit of little smooth green snakes - so cute!).

12:26 am - limpio todas las cosas

I really need to get round to giving my apartment a good scrub. I fear things moving in without notification or helping with the rent.
Thursday will be an adequate day to mount this attack, I believe.
I'm going to look up the natural frequency of spiders and see if I can't get them to keel over with an MP3 of said frequency. I shudder to think how many might come crashing down from webs I cannot see. Worth it, though, should it work.

6:49 am - bones

I've been watching the shit out of 'Bones' the past few days on Netflix.
I really like Sully, in that I relate to him in the way he waffles between wanting to do multiple things (when he's enumerating on all the various degrees he's got, I was like, 'are you me?! except with actual degrees and certifications?!'), but I'm also way more cautious in that I'll stay with a sure thing, while he seems to pursue the unsure. So a cross between Sully and Bones? I'M ONLY ON SEASON 2, SO IF HE TURNS OUT TO BE A CRAZY KILLER, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THAT.

What a mad season!
They had this logo painted near where we had our season tickets in the old Busch Stadium. It frightened me as a child. Now I think it's my favourite incarnation.

Guess who finally splurged and has Internet full-time at her house.
=)!
PS - This same person has not paid for Internet at her place of residence since 2007. It's an odd feeling.

7:46 pm - meme
|
Apparently, when I've got the Internet at my disposal, I do nothing but post memes, instead of writing something of some import.
C'est la vie.
And now I proudly present a meme via ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=88.8) unnecessary_:
Open your .gif folder.
Use every third .gif as a reaction to the statement.
