Moved over to <a href="http://squashmountain.tumblr.com/">tumblr</a>, it's much easier to keep track of everything in one place. </div>

Though I did pick up Just Dance 3 on my way home from work the night before, lucky for me my dad had a gift card for Best Buy he wasn't going to use, so I snatched it up and picked up my dancing addiction supplement. Btdubs, it is awesome. Seriously. You can choose which dancer you want to be in the duets, so no one is stuck being the girl, and they have 4 player choreographed dances, including "This is Halloween" by Danny Elfman...Oh yeah, I will only play the pumpkin head. So, besides just wandering around and hanging out with Jason I didn't do much of anything productive.<br />
The next day I sat in bed and started working on a drawing that I've had in mind to do for a while, not sure if I want to continue doing it digitally, but I think when I go to print it, it will look really great. Later I might make a silk screening version to do myself, but I've already put time into this version so I'm going to see it through. Here is a bit of a preview.<br />

Earlier this week I did do something fun though, Emily, a new friend I made at work, and I went to check out a resale shop I have never been too before, and now LOVE. Then I introduced her to the wonderful world of Target. Then we went to the mall to get feather extensions, and pick up a free pair of panties from Victoria's Secret. It was a fun day, until I had to go to work for a closing shift. I like the feathers, it doesn't look all that great the way it is in the photo, but then I don't care right now haha.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> Another day off, and the last one for five days, so I tried to make the most of it by starting the minute I got off work last night. The only thing I accomplished last night was checking out the new HEB down the road, gawking at the Garden Ridge on fire, and making the butternut squash cake mix for my aunt's birthday today. Then I passed out on the couch watching cartoons again. This morning I made the marshmallow icing while watching a variety of early morning cartoons, mostly because there was nothing on worth watching. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black; font-family: inherit;"> After debating wether to get off the couch or not I dragged myself to the mall to bring some of the cupcakes to the 'taste testers' that I work with to see what they thought. Then I sped off to the post office, which was pretty much empty to my surprise to send off a creepy package. </span></div>

I only got the first 5 yards in, and only in teal, not sure if I'm going to add another color or just dye all the different pieces in different colors for my renfest garb. Yes, I am a huge nerd. Then dad and I went over to my aunt's house to wish her happy birthday and drop off the cupcakes. Then I did nothing but dread the next five days of work ahead of me. </span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S</span>o, I didn't really know what to do with this blog, because it's only really for me and my stalker friends. So to keep doing something, every time I have a day off I'll post what I do, since I usually try to pack in as much arting and crafting as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A</span>lright, so, today I ran around for a few hours hitting up the craft stores with my stack of coupons getting fabric for the Texas RenFest. Of course all of this was done only after I made an egg and pepperjack cheese sandwich for breakfast and watched the dracula/bugs bunny episode of Looney Tunes. When I came home I made cupcakes...I wanted to make Halloween themed ones so I can give them as gifts, but I wanted to test out the flavors before I handed them off to people. So I made chocolate/irish cream cake with Amaretto icing. When I went to the liquor store I asked the employees what they thought would taste good, I think I kind of threw them for a loop, but I honestly didn't know what kind of icing it was going to be until I got there and spent a good half hour staring at the shelf.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">S</span>o after talking to April around 12 I headed over to a friend's house, who, it turns out lives almost spitting distance from me, so that I could help her alter a peasant skirt she had gotten from work to wear to the RenFest. I ended up spending 4 hours there talking and playing with her new kitten and got only a few things done on the skirt. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T</span>he last third of the day wasn't so glamourous, I took a nap, ate some salmon, watched Indiana Jones and finished the skirt, and jabbed my finger in the machine. Other than the end, I think I packed in quite a bit, but it was still kind of a lazy day. Approved. </div>

We went to Athens, Corinth, Mycenae, Nafplion, Olympia, Delphi, Meteora, Thermopolae, Mykonos, Patmos, Rhodes, Santorini, Crete, and Kusudasi. It was a pretty packed trip, felt like it lasted months, but it was only about two weeks. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is a small sampling of photos I took.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5075/5913148502_8d147382aa_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5075/5913148502_8d147382aa_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6055/5912616207_df4f4f3f7f_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6055/5912616207_df4f4f3f7f_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5316/5912620853_c43d27c6a6_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5316/5912620853_c43d27c6a6_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6001/5912631881_dab890ab77_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6001/5912631881_dab890ab77_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5271/5913211578_fc4a049537_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5271/5913211578_fc4a049537_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5038/5913349916_99b7f096f9_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5038/5913349916_99b7f096f9_z.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5238/5912661699_604b03f1a3_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5238/5912661699_604b03f1a3_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6045/5912692481_6b186d86c4_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6045/5912692481_6b186d86c4_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6037/5913233968_1e630edf70_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6037/5913233968_1e630edf70_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5312/5913274562_a2eaf394a2_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5312/5913274562_a2eaf394a2_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6021/5913354068_aa75400247_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6021/5913354068_aa75400247_z.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6049/5913315944_cd8ef11e21_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6049/5913315944_cd8ef11e21_z.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I wasn't pleased with my final project, but I have plenty of time to do other things now while I wait for my diploma to arrive in the mail. I had a crazy dream that my cat picked it up and brought it too me, does that mean something? Anyways here are a few selected pieces from the watercolor pages of the book I did for my project. Later I'll put up some photos of graduation and Greece, oh yeah, I was out of the country for 2 weeks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6127/5932353081_0d194edd7f_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6127/5932353081_0d194edd7f_z.jpg" width="293" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6021/5932909216_9a59ef7e13_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6021/5932909216_9a59ef7e13_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/5932913412_46bbd777e9_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/5932913412_46bbd777e9_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I know, I know, selling out, whatever, I have a digital copy of them, and who knows, I probably will get them all back anyhow, but at least I'll have this pie show under my belt and plastered onto my resume. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So these are the inks for the Attack of the Pie show my friend, Meg, is curating/organizing from over at the Damn Hipsters link on the side of the page. Obviously it is about pie, and what goes better with pie, than Vikings? Originally I was going in more of a gnome direction, but ended up changing my mind the other day with the help of my dear friend Jason to vikings. I think it will work out okay, now I just have to watercolor them. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Or something like that. I can't really remember the details of the assignment anymore and am too lazy to pull the rubric out. Anyhow, I didn't really enjoy my first piece, and no one else did either, it was just lazy I guess. So I re-worked it a few weeks back and then forgot about it until recently, now I'm just tired of it, so I'm done.<br />

But, that is what you have to love about independent comics, they are going to be some of the weirdest things you'll ever lay your hands on.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Okay, so superhero comics. I don't mind them, but honestly I could care less about them, unlike most of my fellow nerds. Don't get me wrong they are beautiful, but a lot of the times I find that the stories are a bit week and strung out. So, yesterday I rediscovered the Graphic Novel section at the school library and decided to read as many of them as I can. Graphic novels and alternative comics seem to go almost totally unnoticed that any outsider who hears you draw comics will automatically think of Batman, and I'm sick tired of it. I guess with all these Alternative style classes I've been taking I've taken on a great appreciation of these kinds of comics and want to get my hands on as many as I can. Also, to try and help out in giving these hidden gems more of a voice I am going to write up a little bit about each of the artists or comics that I've read over on my Tumblr. Hopefully my small little voice will help add to the small din of noise.Sofihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09760864525428101692noreply@blogger.com0
