Oh my goodness it's back and up and running again. Well actually I didn't really try to see if it was up again, however, I was thoroughly upset when I wanted to make a massive post that it was down for 'maintenance' or so I am assuming. However today is May 21 and the days are just rolling along, time is moving quickly and soon the tides of new water will creep in September.

I really am happy I got into Animation and I am hoping with all my heart it is what I love to do. I only know of it what I have seen and searched for it myself. Sometimes I feel like such a phony going in there because I don't know anything. I don't have a precursor to what is to come, and the fact I don't hunt down new artists, or watch new and innovating shorts frequently kind of makes me scared. However I do feel that school is made for learning and there I shall learn to love what I have chosen.

Having said that, I am drawing a bit in my sketchbook and produced a couple useable sketches. I've scanned them and now I am going to digitally colour them. Here's to using an ancient program and no way to get intouch with using photoshop, and nor do I want to just use the trial of Sai, fall in love with it and then not have it! I'm also getting really anxious about whether or not I will get OSAP (student loans) O_O, eeep.

Amongst all of this I have purchased Pokemon White. This is the first pokemon game I have ever actually owned/played. So this is pretty exciting! I've been sucked into the world of tall grass and a vide variety of pokeballs. I love it, and to be honest, my favourite is the grass pokemon, Lilligant. I don't know why but Giga Drain is just kicked all their butts. :D (But, I would always choose a fire starter!)

Other than pokemon, I've bought a volleyball and pads. I've become quite taken with the sport and hopefully want to practice a lot to get better and hopefully get a little more cardio strength, perhaps even loose some weight or tone my bodddddy. That would super. Super, I tell you.

Besides being on Tumblr 24/7, refreshing a not so happening Facebook page and loading a bunch of Card Captor Sakura episodes, I find myself hanging out with Aaron quite a bit. Yay! Yes and no to this. I love love love love love love love love love spending time with my man, but I understand how he's feeling about not having anything to do. It's super hard to get a job these days :/ Beyond that we watched THOR last night. 4/5 for me. Some minor things bothered me, but I liked it. We watched it in 3D and I guess my biggest complaint are the fight scenes. Nauseating and I can't tell what's going on...... I have glasses, so to wear the 3D glasses over mine make it difficult. And we sat kind of close to the screen so everything was tiring (looking up, holding the glasses up, neck getting cramped when I was in one position for too long...)

^ This guy played Thor, and for an actor I have never seen before he was pretty good. He didn't make me dislike his character, you know when the person can ruin it? And holy crap, Natalie Portman!, has just been in every movie this year! From Black Swan to Your Highness to No Strings Attached annnnd now Thor. She's what's going on right now and I think I will draw her. (When I have the chance, I need to get my act together and be more efficient in drawing :P )

Besides all of this, here is what I am currently working on! Practicing some colouring. Although I know it's all too much for animation at the moment. I can't seem to break out of this proportionate human thing. Good and bad. But I definitely need to make some more dynamic characters! I did make this roboarm kitty... I'll scan that in later. She's megamanesque.

^ I'm using Open Canvas 1.1. Quite prehistoric, quite frustrating. But maybe with all the simpleness I can get something done? Who am I kidding, I wish to get new program, STAT.

Cheers, I can't think of anything to write about right now, and even if I do I think you are all tired of reading this currently :)

Goodnight.
