Of Icons and Alchemy
I caught the tail end of episode 5 of Fullmetal Alchemist last night. I forgot it was on at midnight, and not at 12:30 like on Thursdays and thus, missed Hughes at his very best. I keep reminding myself I can catch what I missed on Thursday, it's not like I don't have that episode MEMORIZED or anything ... ¬_¬x;

Not any more so than any other episode.

Also watched the sixth episode of Gundam Wing, wanted desperately for Heero to step on Relena. So much for compassion. Still hold tight to the fact that they're all flippin' insane, except for Duo, who's only moderately insane. If I hadn't been so sleepy I would have watched more.

I need to go to more than one episode a night, this is a 49 episode series and four of the DVDs I have to return. Someday I'll own those four that I'm missing, someday!

That reminds me, I need to update my Guzzlefish account. If anyone wants to look me up, I'm renkinjutsushi. Always the alchemist.

You know what the problem is with a lot of these alchemy texts? They're in LATIN. I don't speak, read, or comprehend Latin on ANY level. I barely comprehend Japanese, and English? Pshaw. Who understands THAT?

---------------------

I like to make icons, although I suck greatly at it. I have an icon-dump Livejournal if anyone is interested in it, it's named, appropriately enough, icon__alchemy.

Last night we watched Elf (gih), and The Day After Tomorrow (glee!). I got a lot of doodling done, I've mostly hit a wall with my drawing and it was nice to get some ideas out on paper.



That's the best one by far, and Kage's head is a little wonky. Of course, that's only a thumbnail and I'm already coloring it. The
cat was actually Kagome's idea and she talked Ravin into giving Kage a kitty for Christmas. I swear up and down that the Kagome's absolutely insane, and the cat likes to sit on Kage's head, between his ears. He was not pleased, but the second anyone's back is turned he's lovin' on the kitty.

Heh. *amused*

Speaking of artstuffs, it's absolutely amazing how unoriginal people on the artboards are. I've been random-surfing and trying to build good comment-karma but ye gods... a good chunk of the pictures are either directly traced/eyeballed from existing pictures. I realize everyone does it, but it's so unoriginal and it doesn't speak highly of the artist.

I know this is a case of pot and kettle, since I've done it a LOT, but I rarely post the pictures! It is good practice but jeez, guys... now I'm really only commenting on pictures that are ORIGINAL. =_=x;
