Rock-n-Roll Journey to Mars

Sooooo... I went and started a Tumblr. It can be found over here.

I've been thinking about starting on for a while, because a) I keep getting linking to various tumblrs and finding myself wasting away hours reading them, and b) my LJ was never really much of a sketch blog to begin with, so I'm shuffling my artsy blogging things over to tumblr. I think the style there works a bit better for sketch blogs, and I dig the queue function.

So yeah. I'll probably do art posts over here still, but from now on I'll be posting art on tumblr as I finish it instead of hording it while trying to decide if I have even sketches to do an art post on LJ.

I'm going to plug a comm now.

Go check out ontd_literature. Lit comm for news on books, talking about what books you're reading, discussing movie adaptations, etc. And it's a Twilight free-zone! It's a small comm, but I like it. Go. Go check it out. Gooooo~

My scanner's fixed! My scanner's fixed! My scanner's fixed! :D

Or rather, I found a place online where I could download the drivers so it'll communicate with my laptop again.

Either way, it meant I got to scan some of the doodles I've done over the past month (have I really been in college that long!?)

( Lotsa doodles! Warning, though: there is a tastefully censored nude sabrecat under the cut. )

So, there are very few things that make me literally fall out of my chair laughing. But Voldemort tap dancing is definitely one of them.



(Voldy starts dancing at about 3:20)
And if you liked that, check out the rest of A Very Potter Musical, you can watch the all of it starting here. Trust me, it is hilarious.

This quote explains perfectly why I hate vampires anymore:

"Remember when vampires had huge mountaintop castles in the Balkans and mysterious magical carriages to carry them and their victims to and fro? Whereas now they apparently have to take the bus with the rest of the puds. Jeez, vampires are losers."

Thank you, Comics Curmudgeon archives for putting into words what I've been thinking since Twilight came out.

I've been meaning to do this meme, and because eibborn posted it in his blog, I remembered it! So, here we go.

The Yearly Meme: Go to your LJ Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2008. Post the first line (or such) of it in your journal.
( In which we see how lame my journal really is. )

In other news, I found two awesome blogs to read. The Comics Curmudgeon is a great blog were newspaper comic strips get snarked. I love this site, because I love newspaper comics - I get all my news from National Public Radio, but I still start my morning off with the comics in my local paper. Of course, a lot of them are legacy comics, and others just tend to not makes sense. So seeing witty comments about how Marmaduke has eaten everyone in his hometown greatly amuses me.

The other one is Judge a Book by its Cover. Now, I haaate that saying. Really. It's a nice sentiment but, really. If the cover of a book looks like it was made by a fourteen year old just trying out photoshop? I'm not going to read it. So, this blog snarks book covers! And I think it's awesome.

Hey guys, I'm now officially part of the pokemonathon! My first post is over here!

Sketch of my kitty Scooter, based off a photo of her. And... my knee, because it was also in the photo. It's funny - she usually won't sit on anyone's lap but my dad's. And she really doesn't like sitting on laps when the lap is at the computer. Except for when I'm watching Doctor Who. Then, she'll come right up, hop on my lap, and zone out. Unless an alien shows up, in which case she'll pop up and just stare at the screen.
Silly kitteh. ;p

Also, if you are bored, might I suggest you watch this video?

I dunno why I think it's so funny... I just do. Those three... I've been in the room with all of them at once. And let me tell you, it's pretty much like that all the time. (They are my buddy X, his brother, and their nephew, by the way)

I've been doing some experimentation on faces with old characters. (Read as: Redesigning because I'm bored) I'm trying to get to the point at which each character has an individual face, with signs of age and stuff. So, I played around with an old rp character of mine. On the left is the original character sheet, from october 2006. On the right is a quick doodle, from April 2008. Progress is awesome.

This weekend was a nice one. Which is good, because last week was really stressful. On Saturday I didn't do much of anything, except sleep and use the computer and stuff. On Sunday, I got to visit X, which is always cool. We basically wandered around the neighborhood and talked about pokemon and lightsabers. He hadn't had any lunch (I'd already had two toaster waffles and a slice of pizza - so healthy) so we went into this little asian restaurant by the supermarket. It's been there as long as I can remember, but I've never been in. Anyways, we got some chow mien and sesame chicken, which were both really good. I got to watch Cold Case and Dexter, which also rocked. And I finally got to start reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. The weather is warming up, so I can start wearing my english trench coat again, and that's always good.

The only really dent in the weekend was when I went shopping for some new pants. All my pants are falling apart, and a sale was going on at some place down in the mall. So I found a pair of pants that fit me fine around the waist (size 4). I got two pairs, because I don't have enough pants. Well, it wasn't until I got home and took the tags off and washed them that I realized that they are, in fact, about four inches too long in the leg. And that the size 0 had been just as long. So, now I have to totally re-hem them both, and figure out some way that the cuffs won't look stupid or messy, since they're rather nice semi-dress pants. Blah.

I need to start looking for a job.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, and go check out this doodle Pip did. The one on the far left is supposed to be me. X3 Evidentially, in Pip's mind, I am a raging alcoholic. XD
