hey everybody ^_^
How goes life?
OMG OMG OMG 500 people have been to my otaku now! *throws confetti* thank you all my loyal fans. XD
now, i'm going to be different today; i don't have any fanart, and i won't rave about naruto. :) except to say: i watched the english version, and...it was rather sad. :) watch the japanese version if you can, it makes the difference between naruto being for 9-12 year old boys and being an amazing story that anyone can enjoy.
so; today i went hiking with my mom; here is a picture of her about halfway up. I liked how the trees were standing in this picture and plan to draw a faerie or elf or something in there where my mom is standing, or maybe even under the trees further back. :) sorry mom.
It was pretty nice most of the way up, but then when we were almost at the top, it started raining! so we had to go back about 5 minutes and sit under the pine trees. (we had been in an aspen grove.) AND THEN, these two BUGS that were like, stuck together (mating?) landed on me (eek) and everytime i tried to brush them off they landed on me agaaaiinn...T.T it was so nasty..they looked like super-giant flies...not yellow & black like a bee...idk what they were, but eww. anyway. :)
and then we saw a smushed rodent on the trail further up. (silence-san, was that what your dog was chasing after?) yuck.
But! once we got to the top we were rewarded with a stunning view of *mmsngn*. i suppose i shouldn't tell you where in-case you are a bad guy. :p i don't want stalkers, no siree. anyway, it started raining again, and it was c-c-cold...and windy...so we got in this little space that was kind of sheltered from the wind and pulled our jacket-hoods over our heads and waited for it to blow over...it was kinda fun. :) i've never been up there while it rained before. All the storm clouds looked amazing! and i had brought a sketchbook and pencils, intending to draw the scenery. :) but then i got up there and just didn't feel art-y. ^.^ so my mom drew instead, and i walked around and took pictures.
hey, silence-san and tik-chan! There is an AWESOME song of Onitsuka CHihiro's called "Iihi tabidachi nishi e" (good day for setting off, to the west.) you can listen to it here. It's a really dreamy japanese song about going off traveling. :) i absolutely love it. Chihiro-san always has great stuff. THANKS tik-chan for lending me a cd of hers! and thanks silence-san for letting tik-chan steal it from you. ;)
ok: i finally have pictures of my geta!
3/4 view
them on my feet
sorry that the straps look a ghastly pink. :*) i'm not the best photographer in the world. they're actually a gorgeous vermillion red; you can see the store photo here. Go down to #160.
so. :)
OK: since i don't have much inspiration right now ( i generally don't until about 1:30 am) somebody make a request!!! ^_^ i love doing those. and i shall try to fill it as best i can! let's see, here are your anime choices: Fushigi Yuugi, Ceres: Celestial Legend, Trigun, Naruto, angelic layer, Magic knight rayearth, cardcaptor sakura, Ah! My goddess, digimon, Fullmetal Alchemist (warning, i haven't seen that much of this one), any of the miyazaki movies, Inuyasha (again, haven't seen that much of it), Lain, Last Exile, Ranma 1/2, realbout highschool, Sailormoon (well, it's pretty art!), aaaand..XxXHolic. :) there are more i'd like to add, but i'm not confident i could draw them and still have it recognizeable. :) YOu can also request one of my faeries/elves/angels and give me specs as to what you want it to look like (e.g. colors of wings & hair, poses, etc.) i haven't done a geisha in awhile, maybe i shall do another one....
aight, so i just had 3 pieces of take-n-bake pizza...ooh, i can just feel my arteries clogging..^.^ but it was soo good...i don't get genuine take-out pizza that much; maybe like once a month. which is most likely a good thing. :) my mom likes to make pizza. me, i get nervous around the pizza stones. :) they get really hot, and since they're so hot you can't really hold them for any more than 3 seconds before you start feeling it through the pot-holders....
ok. i'm going to leave you alone now. XD have fun everybody!
