I fear I'm eventually going to fracture my left arm if I keep going full out in my new karate club. One thing I've learned is--it doesn't matter if you are a black belt and able to generate power or whatever, if your opponent is a gung-ho brute with arms mostly bone and twice as thick as yours, you're going to get some horrible bruises when you block his freakin' punch.

My arms have now been spotting continuous black and purple bruises for the past 6 months. I look like I'm on way too much warfarin.


On a completely different note, I need to find some ways to eat more vegetables. _o_ It's kinda ironic how all these veggie recipes I find in cookbooks have so much cream or oil or cheese in them, thus canceling out any health benefits they may offer. I'm basically just ripping up raw lettuces and chewing them plain right now.

My desktop computer just died with a fatal error, and I have no idea how to fix it, or if it's even fixable. :( Not that there is anything important in it as I only use it at my parent's house, but still, bro is too far away to help me out.

I miss my bro.

(HAHAHA okay that's bad motivation to think of him now, but he was always the one who healed broken technology at home.)

( Italicize series you've seen at least one episode of, bold series you've finished. )

Wow I'm such an anime dork.

Pixar's next film! XD Didn't realize they have the next project going already 'cause WALL-E is still so fresh in my mind.

IS IT WRONG TO LIST THIS AS A HAPPY?

But it's such genius! Who came up with this thing? XD;

I actually colored a pic, finally!

( Orange blossom for O'neill XD; )

Dude, chances are I'll probably be drawing something else from your list, just because the fact that I'm drawing something for a purpose seems to force me to finish stuff.

Anyway, happy new year!

Bro came home from Seattle! :D

MSN drawing session with Hannah. XD; (Requires some knowledge of Sexy Commando to understand.)

Day 2: Christmas dinner with mom and dad, and incidentally ran into Hannah's parents at the restaurant. Would have loved it if bro is here though. Hopefully the damn snow will melt and he can make it for New Year. D:

Day 3: LJ gifts from that_oneill_guy!

The past few days I've been just generally relaxing and playing around with my shiny Wacom Clintiq 12 WX. I haven't finished any picture with it yet, but GOSH it works likes a dream. XDDD I mean, I've had it for about 2 weeks now, but I haven't actually got around to use it much. So much love.<3<3<3

While on the subject of drawing/art, I might as well dump a load of stuff that I've done over the past several months here:

Water Lantern Series: 1 (incomplete) / 2 / 3 / 4

Note on the first one: I was going for this whole cool Venetian costume look (without the masks), only it just seems to make them look like jackasses orz. Not entirely sure if I want to keep this version right now.

"The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag 8 people to do the same."

Day 1: Managed to drive all the way home before it starts snowing (again), and that I have the next 5 days off from work woohoo!

(Don't really know who to tag, so will just keep this part. Anyone who feels like it is welcome to do the meme~)
