Happy Easter!
I am also coming back to life today, after last disappearing in New Mexico with the flu.
I was able to kick the flu 'good enough' on that Friday evening such that I was able to sit and not get nauseated, so naturally, the drinking game went on as planned. Oz didn't warn the three guys who came over that we would be drinking to Hetalia, however, and the night went from "Well, this isn't the worst anime I've ever seen" to half our audience taking drunken refuge in the kitchen, fairly well-inebriated from the 'accent' rule. I was kind of sorry but not sorry enough to change those plans, after finding out Oz was also a fan. (She was also a fan of Supernatural before me and was very patient with me as I worked through the first season - which I am all but two episodes from finishing, damn it S01E21 why can I not find a stream for you. But yes, we had a good time despite the flu and everything.) In the end turned out all right, though, and all of my vodka and schnapps disappeared, plus nearly everything that they'd brought. Saw black rum for the first time, too, that was odd.
The next day, Oz took me to Mesilla where we had fun shopping and dining and not being sick with the flu, but from whence we were regrettably LATE TO THE FUCKING AIRPORT and I missed my flight home. :|
I was kind of upset. I called my parents and told them they wouldn't need to plan on picking me up that evening.
My mom cheered. It was St. Patrick's Day after all. Thanks, Mom.
We never did find the two things I really wanted that night - five shots and someone who thought they were good at Mario Kart - so instead Oz and I spent the night with movies and drawing like we always used to. I finished Ladonia and got halfway through England and Hong Kong, and made my flight out at 6am the next morning. (I didn't have as much time to dick around in DFW airport, but I expect to go back in August, so there will be plenty of time for that later. And it was so awfully humid, ugh.)
And then I had a paper and rendering project due that Tuesday and a studio review the next Thursday and this week was a whole lotta mess but now I can finally sit down and breathe a bit. Before my final studio in three weeks, hell. I did learn how to play mahjong on Thursday, though, that was fun. And I showed Supernatural to Mom because she loves adventure TV shows and good times and she was curious about it, but I just heard her telling her sister over the phone that the pilot was "so scary", so I don't think she'll be up for it... So that's what I've been up to.
The requests which were finally finished:
Ladonia
England on the Tram with little!HK toting his suitcase
Thank you for the requests! It strikes me now that there were better ways to do the second, but I hardly think it'll be the last time I ever draw England and Hong Kong, so. Even with the final month being here and all, I want to draw more. '_')a
