going on a kindergarten-like field trip to fairbanks tonight. going to watch The Dark Knight. i’m pretty excited. can’t wait! =3
update flood 24/07/2008
you know when i say the internet is down, i usually mean that it’s so goddamn slow that it takes you 20-sum minutes to load your e-mail. well, the internet was down. and this time, i mean it was DOWN.
i’ve been able to pick up VERY faint signal every here and there (because my wifi receiver ROCKS the HOUSE) so i was able to do things such as delete e-mail and delete spam. but that’s it. so it’s finally back up, or at least it’s tons faster. so here’s my update to catch up.
video from my trip to fairbanks.
went to fairbanks on saturday. had a lot of fun. couldn’t make it to the olympics, but that was ok. we DID get to watch the avatar series finale though and order pizza during it, so it was totally awesome. we also got to go to wal-mart and get some goods. forgot a few things, but that’s ok. ONLY TWO MORE MONTHS!!
it’s been freezing again. though my alaskan friends say “oh it’s been so sunny and beautiful!” well, beautiful yes. overcast though. but i guess to them it’s omega sunny. oh alaskans. but because it’s been so cold recently, it started to snow again up in the moutains! and because it is so cloudy and snowy up there, i haven’t been able to take a good picture.
…
so i decided to draw a sokka inspired picture of the moutains. xD
beni said that igloo looks too cute and good to be “sokka inspired.” but i didn’t have the heart to erase him.
it’s sad because that took me more than 10 minutes to draw… -_- *shame*
speaking of drawings.. let me start on those because it’s really a butt-fuck.
uncharted and alaskan inspired. not like my other drawings, but i thought it had a sense of serenity.
-
an AU with the theme of Draken–Drakkeng–DAMMIT! i can’t spell it work crap so i’ll just call it it’s original name. an AU with the theme of Drag-On Dragoon. it’s one of the games we bought while up here. pretty good. i asked beni that day what he wanted me to draw, and he said him as Caim and me as Furiae. oh sib-cest. ps: the armour in that game is retarded so i did my best to fix it up a little. failed miserably because it looks the same. xP
-
just wanted to do something fun where beni participated it in. he never did it though so he sucks. it’s a pretty hot picture i think though.
-
drew this in fairbanks of crazy azula after coming back from wal-mart and watching the series finale. i miss it already. this is the start of an avatar themed week.
-
probably the best toph drawing i’ve ever done. x3 i love it. this was probably one of my favourite scenes in the finale. if they dragged it out even two second longer i think i would’ve cried. this one is beni’s favourite too. so he had me laminate it. x3
-
colourful! i only have three colour pens here. black, red, and blue. luckily that’s all i needed for this one. xD zuko’s fight with a crazy azula. i thought the shading on his arms were yay-inducing. x3
-
i’ll admit, this part made me teary.
-
i think the Tokka in me squeed during this. the whole scene was just dramatic. i loved it. picture wise, i think i did some pretty good shading here. at least in sokka’s face. that was freakishly hard though. xP
-
so that’s all for now in drawings. sorry about the butt-fuck. because the internet’s been down and because i’ve been busy when it was up (fairbanks and at work), i haven’t been able to put these up. thanks for your patience while loading this journal entry. xD one more though!
our bulletin board here in healy. there was space made in the board so i thought i’d fill it in with beni’s favourite drawings. all the drawings up there are laminated except for the zuko one. now you know when i took that picture. also on the board is the times for the princess employee shuttle (top left), a post card from Song Shan Wushu Guan my kung fu school (middle left), the calender and moose tracks which is the Homestead newsletter (bottom left and middle), a picture of my family (bottom right), and our very first note up here in alaska from steve, tori, and vince. i love them!!
phew! that should REALLY be it for now on drawins. man. you know what? i’m going to make another post later. this one is already too long. ta!
stupid day 19/07/2008
today is supposed to be an awesomely awesome day because beni and i are going to fairbanks to stay at the fairbanks princess lodge and to watch the indian eskimo olympics.
NEGATORY!
starts off bad. almost missed breakfast. beni can’t track down his stimulus check because the IRS is run by a bunch of dumbasses. and my “time of the month” just started today. great. poor and icky feeling. super. i was going to go swim in the pool today too.
oh. not to mention i’m STILL missing metrocon and i won’t be able to watch the Avatar series finale live today.
