Ocarina of Time! It is too still relevant, hush. /oldperson



I forgot what Saria's outfit looks like in much detail, but I know that this is pretty close and also cute! I loooooooove curvy people in relaxed poses. C:



Grayscaaaaale~
I got more into this picture than the underlying drawing warrants (HELLO WOMANLEGS) but who cares! LOOK AT THEM, THEY ARE Z-TARGETING.

Speaking of Nintendo, 3DS 3DS 3DS please be in my life now


Also, Mercury. We have reached the sink phase. Thank you and goodnight.

BEHOLD MY CAT.

- I do believe his name shall be Mercury, unless I think of something better!

c

- ^ He helped me type this post :)

- Adorable quirks so far: only drinking water from a running faucet, and not understanding the concept of sleeping without petting him

- He is crazy affectionate and extremely well behaved: understanding of my various Cow Tools and that they are Not His, very gentle with his claws, scratches only things meant for scratching. I could go on. I am such a typical kitty mommy all of a sudden you guys!

- I went to the park today, where the river was mostly frozen, and out of the whole herd or flock or whatever of ducks-- like eight dozen or more-- there was exactly one duck who instead of swimming in the unfrozen areas along the banks, wouldn't stop walking around on the ice, pausing every couple of steps and looking, to my anthropomorphizing eyes, very confused. It was adorable, and I wasn't the only one taking pictures.

- Still keeping my apartment all nice and tidy after New Years cleanup, go me.

- I bought a hat! It goes with my coat and keeps my head warm! I love my hat. It is bright teal with a big bow on it and if I can get someone to take a full-body picture of me in all my new little ensemble I will show you my hat.

- So the other night I was all set to go to a gallery opening at the invitation of a friend, for which I had had several weeks of advance notice, and for which I wanted to finally get an actual website together for myself, so that when I met all the cool art-gallery-going people there I could be like, pssh, of course I have a website.

Of course I failed to accomplish this (though to my sort-of credit it was merely because I underestimated how long it would take to finish and not because I blew it off altogether). So I was sad, in my actually-not-very-sad way, and admitted to myself 2.5 hours before the opening that it was going to be a night of "uh hi well I doodle in notebooks sometimes? :D" after all, and gave up and texted my friend to see if she was going to arrive early or what so we could meet up. Soon she called, all high-pitched and practically singing her apologies ("I AM SOOOOOO SORRY~"), that I must not be on her email list, because she had sent out word that the gallery had called the thing off due to the weather (??-- all I can figure is they let the pipes freeze and burst, because our weather is not remotely dangerous) and didn't know when it would be rescheduled.

I was delighted with my MAGICAL REPRIEVE GET!, and I hope I communicated to her, without going into details, that I was not at all upset by this news. So now I have an undetermined amount of time to finish, and of course I'm all "bleh this is boring :(" and haven't done much with it since.

See, I don't have a scanner so I'm photographing all my stuff, and no matter how good my light is the paper comes out gray instead of white and when I lighten it I lose some of my actual lines and it gets all terrible and life should be easier than this. Recommend me good Photoshop techniques/plugins plz.

- Goin' to eat foods~

...and in return, they let me take pictures of them!

In my laundry room I have two little spiders that live in the corner, and lately they have three little egg sacs hung up on the wall! I took photos. I had to hold a mini-flashlight on them in one hand so I could take the shutter speed way down, because I could not hold that camera steady for love or money.


One
Little hatchlings, I guess! This was before I remembered about the white balance.

Two
A different spider with no apparent parental responsibilities

Three
Eggs

Four
DELICIOUS EGGS.

These, out of 45 shots. ALWAYS TAKE A MILLION PHOTOS, KIDS

BLARGH BLARGHITY BLARGH I need a real picture to draw :|

This beautiful little bug is now rooming with me! I assume that's okay. I don't actually know what it is. It's the size of a popcorn kernel. It'll watch over me while I sleep and protect me, right?

Bug Time

Too bad it's not Monday, because this afternoon I totally beat up my insurance company until they gave me money.

Another thing: I came home to find a few ants* in my shower, wandering around since the walls were too slippery to climb, and then I looked closer... and saw a single small, neat pile of little ant wings over on one end. Wikipedia tells me that ants drop their wings after mating, but the collection of them is still weird to me. The spiders I'm allowing to live are falling down on the job around here.

*Okay, when I googled 'winged ants' to make sure that's actually what they were, I ended up on a pest control site and I saw on their sidebar that they had an entry for ladybugs! And I thought that was cool of them to list ladybugs, since they're natural predators of garden-y bugs and harmless to everything else, and not focus exclusively on chemical insecticides.

BUT WHEN I CLICKED ON IT, THERE BEFORE ME WERE INSTRUCTIONS FOR LADYBUG ELIMINATION. WAAH.
