Too cold to work. That's my excuse for today ( Read more... )

I bet if somebody made a funny flash movie using the Hairbrush Song from Veggietales, it'd be sweeping the internet in no time...

Well, it's already got a video that goes with it, but that's different.

I finished reading the last Discworld book but Thud today. Yay for the post office actually being open for a little while on Saturdays!

And in celebration, I made like my third-ever icon. This line (from Wee Free Men) struck me as insanely funny and I immediately wanted to do something with it. I don't think it turned out very well, but I'm okay ( Read more... )

Arrrgh!

So three of my books came today - the other one, which was actually shipped a day earlier but seems to have gotten sidetracked, apparently arrived about an hour ago. But I can't pick it up until Monday because of course the post office is closed now. And it's The Wee Free Men, which I would like to read before A Hat Full of Sky as long as ( Read more... )

I keep forgetting things I want to post about.

The other day in studio we watched a crazy movie, My Dinner with Andre, and it didn't exactly have anything to do with architecture but it was still kind of interesting. And crazy.

And one of the two actors was Vizzini from Princess Bride, and I could not get over that, and at one point he actually ( Read more... )

My aloe vera is not doing well. :( Overall, there's nothing much wrong with it; it's green and firm and whatever else it's supposed to be. But it seems to have many small, local problems. It doesn't help, first of all, that it lost a lot of leaf tips when I went home for Christmas - they turned brown and fell off and now those leaves (spikes?) are ( Read more... )

One of the studio instructors looks like Neil Gaiman's long-lost twin. But he also has similarities to the actor playing Faramir in LoTR... mostly the eyes.

I thought I was immune to sales, but then Amazon did their 4-for-3 thing and I *just happened* to have three books I wanted (Discworld, the last three except for Thud), so I got those and a ( Read more... )

3:30 am. Far too late to be up. But I was finishing a drawing for studio. Too bad I can't draw. I spent a few hours on it, off and on, but most of that time was taken up in shading :P The thing is on an 18x24 sheet. Huge. And I decided to use pen rather than pencil (though I did outline the major elements first). It was supposed to be a "response" ( Read more... )

Also. I was going to post this earlier but forgot.

I've been having more weird dreams lately, it's fun :) Last night I dreamed I was applying to be a Supreme Court justice, and they were very nice about it but explained that they'd just filled the last vacancy. I guess that's what I get for watching the State of the Union.

First of all, I'm going to do some blatant self-serving advertising (because they'll double my storage space, not that I really need it) and say that pbwiki.com is a very cool site. You get your own personal wiki (which you can make public or not) and a reasonably large limit on pages and space. I used it for this past Nanowrimo to try to organize ( Read more... )
