happy halloween

Well, I had to scramble to get it colored in time, but here it is. This is a copy of our new festive doorsign. Fruit Bat is dressed as a "Celestial Sorceress" And I'm a very toned down pied piper- no way am I trying to find all the color that really ought to go into that costume.
We'll probably put up some pictures of our actual costumes, after I play with our faces a little bit. :)
I'm not very happy with the color job since i had to do it so fast, but I can color it over again later.

Brief Horror

I was SO SCARED!!!!
I went into my computer class today to work on my project (due today) and found my entire folder GONE. All of my work on previous projects and projects to come, GONE. I wasn't the only one, 7 people had their entire folders deleted, and several others had their folders gone through and documents deleted. What kind of person even does that?!
Fortunately, the IT people were able to recover our folders about halfway through class, so I was able to scurry and get the project done.
Still. Way. Too. Scary.

On a completely unrelated sidenote, Youtube and Hulu now have Macgyver! Isn't that awesome?

Not my intent...

I want to start by saying, this is kinda sorta not really my fault- I mean, how was I to know?
It's a natural thing for me, I have certain shows and movies that I adore, and I'll try to get other people to watch them, ask anyone. But that's as far as it really goes- I'll get the urge to watch something, make somebody watch the movie or the first episode with me, and then when they never ask to watch the second, I don't really worry about it- no harm no foul. They were there for the segment I wanted to watch, and far be it fro me to force someone to watch something they don't want to.
Which is why I'm currently flabbergasted.
Last YEAR I had Fruit Bat watch the Stargate movie, and the first couple of episodes of Stargate SG-1. And after that we moved on to other things, she never asked to continue, and I never pressed. Except about a week ago she mentioned it, so we watched the first episode again. Now we are watching 2-3 episodes a night and she is a self-professed obsessive fan. So weird.
I wonder if this is how my older brother felt when he accidentally introduced me to something that I suddenly developed a rabid obsession for...

work

Just a few quick things about life at the moment. So I'm working at my new job, and it's really funny because there's a lady there with the same name as me. This is a bit unusual, I've never been involved with anyone who had the same name as me, especially not spelled the same way, since my version is a bit older and out of favor with the general population.
But this lady is constantly getting calls and asked questions because she's a senior employee- and I just jump every time I hear my name, but they aren't talking to me.
We were joking that we should write "1" and "2" on our nametags, in the meantime I just call her "Number One." which actually gives me flashbacks to Star Trek... >.<;
Also, as much as I loved working at my old job, and still love the girls I worked with, I didn't much LIKE it...
Well... that's hard to explain. See, I don't like people. I'll be the first to admit it. But this new job? The customers? I've gotten to where I think I do like people. I've had conversations with them, and they're really nice and understanding...
Oh well.
Like the picture? That's Farwing, one of my muses. He's the only guy muse, and is in charge of "character." He's kind of easygoing and ready for anything, so I thought he fit this post.

Follow the White Rabbit

I'm in two drawing classes this year, and we've been doing still life's since the beginning of the year. Some of you know me, and are worried by this statement.
You have every reason to be.

Two classes of nothing but still life for three days out of the week?
Yeah, Right.

So last week I snapped. There's only so many times I can be a team player about drawing boxes and gourds and bottles. I know why we're supposed to do these things, and I do try to be a good student, but I was sick of it. Sue me. So, I put something extra in my still life, a little bunny in the bottom left corner. It was small, and cute, and not at all part of the still life. If my professor asked me to, I could erase it easily and move on, no harm no foul.
Except... I contaminated the students on either side of me. One doodled in an octopus (which looks amazing), the other put a worm into the plastic apple.
But our professor saw it, and didn't say anything.
This is generally a bad plan- if you don't call me on something you don't want me to do, rest assured, I will do it again. Bigger.
So the small white rabbit has been followed by a huge textured dragon in my new still life. And I'm STILL not in trouble! My professor just commented that the texture was nice. ^_^
The girl who drew the octopus is now working on a unicorn, the worm-in-apple gal plans to throw in a fairy.
I can't wait for our next group critique.
Because I know, this is all my fault.
So... Follow the White Rabbit.
