This Weekend

This weekend was super-cool. I got some more stuff recorded on Friday, but pretty much relaxed and decided not to do some auditions that... I probably should have. Meh.

On Saturday I was asked by one Mr. OmegaOptimusSupreme if I was available for the Team ZORM podcast with MasakoX. ...Sadly, I was not D: But that's ok. We'll just do it at a later point in time. I wasn't available because I was in Sarnia with my mom and sister. We went down by the Bayside mall, and even IN IT! [gasp]. Bear Creek Studio is closing down, but Ariel hinted that someone else is buying it and continuing on with it. Not too sure though. So I picked up a crap load of art supplies - giant wooden mannequin, medium sized hand mannequin, micron brush tip pen, micron .005 tip pen, a box of really pricey but nice markers (can't remember company), a book on perspective, a set of brush-tip pens, another giant sketch book (I just love those!), a CD by Kirk, and a set of new paints (mine are running low, and those were on sale, so why not?). Once we were done, I couldn't convince my sister or mom to go into Future Past Times with me. lol, oh well. XD

Then - and this is my favourite part of my weekend - I got to go see Kara and Jessimaca and Travis! :D Yaaaay!~ I gave Travis his present from Florida. We chilled out and played Little Big Planet, and there was a ninja, and Travi's bean-bag person looked like a pretty girl, and my bean-bag person was awesome and some kid thought it was a scary monster. Ehehehe. Then we went to othermom's house, and everyone watched Ponyo and ate stew!~ It was a fantastic visit. X3

Sunday sucked, but was still not bad. I got up early to help dad with barn chores, went to church, then took a three hour nap when I got home XD From there, I used my new hand mannequin thingie to practice drawing hands, and I drew a really good one. I coloured it with my new markers, too :D It's pretty~ Probably one of the best hands I've ever drawn.

Zetsu was being a brat, he was covered in mud and kept trying to jump on my bed, and when I closed off upstairs, he ran and hid in the basement. He REALLY did not want to go out side. So I just left him in the basement. XD Nobody was on Skype (WAT?!) so I started trying to find techno remixes of Disturbed songs on YouTube. Only found a few good ones, but here's one of them. This one really impressed me - he must have a wicked vocal-ripping program. Makes me want to do remixes. XD



And this one (these ones?) are just SO. PLAIN. CATCHY. AND UPBEAT. WTF. Love 'em.




While listening to some of this lovely stuff, I worked on cleaning up panels of the first chapter for Stand Up!. It took me SIX HOURS, but I got all 112 or so panels from the first chapter cleaned up and ready to go. All together, the video for this mangadub for chapter one of Stand Up! will have over three hundred pictures. ...Yeah. I felt motivated, so I had to get it done. About half way through, though, Zombi got on Skype so I chatted with him and Optimus, and eventually Mukluk got on and we had a grand ol' time. Mr. Apokkykins showed up later, too, and it was a fun little voice chat :D But I told Mukluk he was gonna get AIDs and die. I don't think he liked that much XP But still fun.

Yeah, so, rundown of my weekend. Some parts were boring, but amazing all at once. Most parts were just amazing. XD

Panic Switch: off!

Lol blog whussat?

I'm currently in Wallaceburg, at Jenny's house. Thus my appearance on the interwebs. I'm going to be here a few days, just because. And you know what? I'm damn glad about it. I'm one of those people who doesn't like staying at people's house for more than 24 hours, but I'm actually looking forward to this. I want a damn vacation.

My summer has been hectic - each time one big event gets done and overwith, something else needs my rushed attention. And you know what? Finally it's done. No big parties, reunions, weddings, funerals, picnics, vacations, appointments - nothing planned. Well, that is, until school starts. I go back on the ninth, so expect me on interwebs frequently after that point.

But until that day, I've got nothing but time. And it feels great. No places to be, no things that require my immediate attention, nooothing. Well, occasional barn work, but that's not long term. So yey. <3

Anyways, as for my title, double meaning. Meaning one's already been cleared up; smoooooth sailing from here on out.

Meaning two?

Picked up the new Silversun Pickups CD today. And so far, I love it. I like the band's sound, and how each song has a feel that is, generally, indescribable. I do like the song "Panic Switch", thus the title. Yeah. Also picked up State of Shock's CD, and after a listen, I thinks I like them more than I did before. Also found out their bassist is a girl, which has to make me go w00tw00t, just 'cause. Yey. <3


Anyways, in my free time, I've been playing video games (mostly .hack//GU, finally on the third game, and Enchanted Arms), watching anime (check out Solty Rei, it's awesome), and ...watching Little House on the Prairie with my mother. I actually turned off the Magnificent Seven to watch that with her. WTF is wrong with me? ;_; The worst part? I've actually enjoyed it. Hurrrrr. I don't get it.

But yeah, not much else going on. Some weird kid on msn hitting on me, and no, not the french guy. ;_; Ah well. I'll scare him off, huuhuuhuu.

So I'm out for now. Ciao!

Before I post this I need to pull a random pannel out of a manga I read to post at the bottom. Yush.



Yes, Fujimoto-san, we shall.
Ta.

Uzu

song: Uzu
artist: Kagrra

I was looking up pictures of the band Kagerou, but google gave me ones of a band called "Kagrra" instead. I thought they all looked kinda cool, so I popped on over to youtube, and after just one listen, I was addicted to this song.

Bad for Your Health pt. 3

She shook her head. He was impossible, most days. It was actually rather irritating. She began to banter again, boredly. "Well at least smoke it faster then, because we've got work to do."

He didn't acknowledge her at all. He took another slow, long drag from his cigarette. He used his free hand to tousle his own hair.

The woman was obviously annoyed. Her eyes blazed. "We don't have all night, either we're going to get this done or I'm going to pump your ass full of lead and go home!"

He sighed heavily. His smoke came away from his mouth. He tapped it gently and watched the ashes drift away. "Temper, temper," he muttered as he stifled a yawn. And then, after a pause, "Your moodswings are brutal. You're truly a woman."

Her annoyance only grew as she became very displeased with him very quickly. Her hand lifted and rapidly struck, cuffing him soundly on the back of the head. He yelped, and his beloved cigarette fell into the puddle below, hissing momentarily before becoming overwhelmed by the water.

He stared down in disdain. The woman began to walk away. "Let's go," she hissed moodily.

He followed reluctantly. "Dumb bitch."







IN OTHER NEWS



NEWS REPORT ENDED BAHYE

I'm Alive

Never again will I be dishonored
And never again will I be reminded
Of living within the world of the jaded
They kill inspiration
It's my obligation
To never again, allow this to happen
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
Denying the sin
My art, my redemption
I carry the torch of my fathers before me

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive

Change again, cannot be considered
I rage again, dispelling my anger
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
My art, my redemption, my only salvation
I carry the gift that I have been blessed with
My soul is adrift in oceans of madness
Repairing the rift that you have created
I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive

I'm no slave
Are you feeling brave?
Or have you gone out of your mind?
No more games
It won't feel the same
If I hold my anger inside
There's no meaning
My soul is bleeding
I've had enough of your kind
One suggestion, use your discretion
Before you label me blind

The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
