The Sketchbook Project. and some world news.

So I really have been doing some serious Internet surfing. And well my friend shoed me this which is pretty bank.

It is the Sketchbook project, and it allows regular people to be an artist in a museum (sort of)!



So what is this whole dealo? Well you sign up on the website (Up there ^) and for a mere 25 dollar they send you a small sketch book that you can fill based on a theme that you choose, or that they randomly choose for you. Then you send it back by a certain date and it's put in the art library, where you may track your book and then go visit the exhibits and see others. I think it's pretty cool.

There is a article on Cnn.com that is about world hunger, and since this is quite an important issue to me I opened it.

The U.N. (That's the United Nations) says that the people still suffering from chronic hunger is unacceptable. Even with the large drop from 1.023 billion hungry to
925 million, there is still someone dying every few minutes, heck even seconds. Even though people help it is far from enough, and with food prices once again raising it may cause a problem and increase in the number of people starving.

Here are some facts from the article.

Among the study's key findings were:
• Two thirds of undernourished people live in just seven countries -- India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia.
• The region with the most undernourished people continues to be Asia and the Pacific, with 578 million.
• But the proportion of undernourished people remains highest in sub-Saharan Africa -- at 30 percent in 2010, or 239 million.

On the Harry Potter rereading I'm doing! I forgot so much stuff!!! I was like HOLY CRAP WHAT DID THOSE MOVIES DO TO ME!! D: But well it's good to get back to the roots, and even though I know whats going to happen I still feel myself getting pulled into the story and characters all over again. It's a great feeling, and it helps me get away from my school work sometimes. So...yeah! Now I have to go to class!

Love, PEACE, and chicken Grease.
