life interrupted is done on my part
so yeah. remember back in the day that mural i was telling you about (maybe)? about the japanese internment camps in arkansas? well, that thing's all done. finished it up friday. turned out pretty well. except someone went crazy on the bird with black paint pen, so it looks really wierd. which pissed me off a lot, because the bird is one of the most prominent features, and after all the work i did i was saddened. the thing became my baby, i worked on it so much (the composition is mine for christ's sake). it's like 5 feet by 20 feet. ah well. going to LA now (the mural), to the Japanese American History Museum there (i think that's the name). goes up in February. go see it! behold my composition and (bits of) the community's painting skills, then pretty much studio art's cover up of the glaring mistakes (cough green sky cough) and finishing touches. so yaaay! i helped the world.

   currently obsessed w/ the Dresden Dolls
"now the war's over,
mussolini says
he wants to go to heaven with a crown upon his head.
the lord says no,
he's got to stay below,
all dressed up,
and no where to go!"

aaaanywho. my mom got netflix. ::dies from happiness:: just finished adding lots of good things. like Throne of Blood and other Kurosawa (speaking of, who's heard of that anime based on the Seven Samurai (like samurai 7 or something)? am i the only one outraged that they dare mess with such mastery?! by adding robots?!?!). also added Eddie Izzard. and Cat Soup. oh, and Samurai Champloo when it's released (January! X3).

   they're killing machines!
i learned something about myself. i'm scared of cats. really truly frightened. tigers, lions, monkeys? fiiiine. no prob. but house cats? fill me with fear. i always thought i just didn't like them, but i'm actually afraid. see, i went to my friend's house and she was all 'wook at my wittle kitty! ain't he kyoot?!' and then she handed me the thing. it's eyes are barely open, it's that small. and the whole time i'm holding it away from my body like it's a bomb, yelling at bri to take it back before it attacks me. wierd, eh? well, i don't care. the thing had CLAWS. needle sharp claws... ::shudder:: i think aunt martha's (yes, most stereotypical aunt name ever) cat and then my cousins' cat traumatized me. first prissy mae (aunt's), hisses at everything that moves and STILL HAS ITS CLAWS. it also swam in the toilet. and thomas (the cousins') also has claws and scratches people for no reason. gah, i like dogs. nice and furry and predictable.

ah poo.
so, what do people buy for fathers other than ties? see, i just realized i need to get him something, and heh. have no clue what. parents divorced in kindergarten, went with mom, VERY bad relationship with jerry (father--the fact i refuse to call him 'dad' should say something about my thoughts of him), and haven't really bothered with gifts for 10 years. feel a bit obligated to get him something as he's paying half my europe trip and my college (sure, he technically would get in trouble w/the gov't if he didn't as it's written in the divorce papers but he's cooperateing so). so yeah. what do you get fathers? my sister got him a tie, so that option is out. ah, tie clip? picture frames go more to girls don't they?

   if god wore a fedora, the joy would look like this
Samurai Champloo needs to get imported. like, 6 years ago it needed to happen. not only is it chock full of quality animation (from what you can tell from a specially done 30 second trailer) AND samurai (with one wearing glasses! squee! ::fangirl mode::) but directed by SHINICHIRO WATANABE. can we say 'man from bebop'? yes we can! i'm so hopeless.
