I'm floating around upside down


So by running around doing absolutely nothing I feel as if I must do something. So here I am writing my blog. So look at the weirdness that is my awe/zombie face. I've been trying to find something that inspires me to write or draw. But I'm hitting a wall...like the Great Wall of China sized wall. But now that I'm over break and have gotten all the work I needed done, well done. I find that I am still hitting this block.

So now I'm at work, as a security escort and well I'm utterly bored; and going a little crazy. Since being on campus barely a day I have spraned my knee and gotten reemed by a professor. It isn't as if I mean for these things to happen. They just do. So I'm mostly over it, the reeming was more over him worryng about my average. It's a D and it's Latin. So I am having issues keeping up with that material. But meh. We just hit passive voice before break, and it's killing my. The whole being told that passive voice is bad had killed my ability to understand it that well. So EPIC FAILURE!

Art wise I'm bursting at the edges. I've got tons of ideas and well not enough arms to do all of it. So I put things on the back burner and have pulled back a bit.

So I sewed an Octupus named Mr.Oliver Squiggles, he was an international buisness man and the first Cephalopod to ever go to college. He was sucessful and was living in Tokyo, but made the mistake of eating at a sushi restuarant, where he ate his uncle. Now he lives in shame in my bed as a Hobo Octopus but will give finacial advice if asked.He is very depressed though, so bring him a crab or some fish to cheer him up. K Thanks Bai. (I'll put a picture of him up soon)

Other than Mr.Oliver Squiggles I babysat a lot of my break, got peircings, a pedicure and well slept a lot more than I had been before break.

I got some spiffy new headphones that cancel out sound and are just plain awesome and satisfy my love of Base, and my hatered of earbuds. :D :D



Sparkle Sparkle! Are they cool...and spiffy? Enjoy that picture and it's shiney ness. They're Sennheiser HD 202 headphones. And Smashing Punpkins sounds awesome in them...which is what just came on. It's CRAZY! :D :D :D The BASE is making my brain explode.

A recount of my favorite movies and movies I'm looking forward to.

10. Alice in Wonderland (2010)

When it comes to fantastical movie that make my brain whir, Burton's Alice in Wonderland is tops. The mix of through the Looking Glass and other Alice related media makes it a whirl wind adventure. Beyond that I love the visuals, and the concept of the creatures and people of Underland. It sparks my mind and gets me drawing or writing depending on what comes from my crazy head.

9. Iron Man


Oh Iron Man, and Tony Stark you make me love you. Now originally I did not like Tony Stark. By Robert Downey Jr. just made me grin like a psycho while watching this. So I got roped in, but that doesn't mean I take his side in the Civil War. Screw you Tony, my heart is forever with Steve!

8. The Dark Knight


First things first...a small silence for Heath Ledger...okay it's been three years but it's still sad. But that is not why this is number eight in my favorite movies.The Joker...and how twisted is this, is my favorite comic book character. So I went to the midnight Showing...and had my brain blown away! It was delightfully twisted and heart pumping, even with Two face's quick rise and fall...which doesn't make sense to me.

7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1.



Okay I picked this poster for a reason. Even though I loved part 1, it feels just like when the last book came out. Bitter sweet sort of the end of a child hood. But I believe it was achieved perfectly. The reason I used this poster was because this scene, with the doe made me cry from happiness. That is a rare thing, as I went to the midnight showing. I'm sad it's ending but it is so great.

6.Boondock Saints



Well yes. The epic battle of mob vs. twin hot Irish brothers. Win. The plot, though interlaced with cursing every other line which is the 90's style. It is a great movie to watch if you want great action, mixed with comedy from sibling idiocy. I love it for this reason. It had a great plot mixed with the right amount of laughs.

5. Fanboys


This movie makes me laugh hysterically. This is nerd life, and it's great. The movie about a bunch of friends doing something funny, but has an underlying heart warming theme. It is great.

4.Up



This movie is a great story of love and growth. I love it because it has a great story, and a great cast of characters. It shows family values, that you don't always have to be blood to be family.

3. Coraline



Coraline is the child from the brain of Neil Gaiman. Now I love this man's writing. So it isn't hard to reason why I love Coraline both the book and movie. The style of art though close to Nightmare before Christmas, has it's own whimsy feel. The story itself is dark and slightly twisted but plays on the childhood wishing for better parents. <3 it though.

2.Forrest Gump



So wild jump right? From all these fantasy action-y things to Forrest Gump. Something about this movie makes me smile every time I see it. It's such a moving story that can be carried through out the times. It has good morals and the ups and downs as a real life.

1. Ever After



Call me a hopeless romantic but...I love this movie with all my heart. I Love Drew so it shouldn't be surprising that I love this movie. The cast is great, and the story so well done that you can almost barely see the Cinderella story under it. I love the costuming and the over all feel. <3


Movies I look Forward to.

X-Men First Class


More back stories...yes please.

Capitan America



Oh Steve, you are finally making it to this scene. <3

Cowboys & Aliens



Just yes, I love the comic. So yes.

Transformers : The Dark of the Moon



Don't care what others say I love both transformers. They make my inner child happy.

Kungfu Panda 2



:D :D :D

Thor



It's Thor. That's that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So there you go. Maybe I'll do another one of these for music, or tv.

Illustration and other art things

So even though Illustration totally kills my social time, I fell like I'm producing great art! I mean having to think things through and do things like that is making my brain explode. But mixed with ceramics I have a packed schedule...and craziness in my life.



This picture, i made up for this coming class on Tuesday. It took about Two hours and six sketches and a ton of frustration. But I like the end result.




This Ironman picture took about three hours of break down, and blocking before it was finished. This was less frustrating as I didn't need any actual words to be in it.

Other than these I've been doing small graphite drawings and whipping them out. They look so good, at least to me. But otherwise I feel pretty good, even though I sleep almost nothing. I WANT SLEEP. I was like naps. :D

To go on another rant. I am writing a Creative Story. It is a fantasy story that is sort of post-apocalyptic. It is turning out great and has some connections to Beowulf.



Though not Beowulf in reality, more descendants and wars. I'm trying to make it outstanding and it's hard. I have seven pages and I'm still attempting to hammer out the bumpy pieces. Though it's sort of coming together.

My life in general had been an up and down thing or craziness that just won't stop, but I'm trying to get away form people who are negative around me....but they keep on popping up.
