Ghosts and Christmas
Yet another 'plain' day. I've been far too lazy, I need to get off my butt and go about attempting to find a job. The weather isn't very nice though, it's another nasty grey day which makes me want to stay inside. Motivation, where art thou?

I went with my mother up to the old convent to decorate for her Christmas party tonight. My mother runs the CCD program at our church, and so the party is for all the teachers in the CCD program. ((CCD is an organization that offers religion classes to kids who go to public schools. The teachers are all volunteers.)) While we're setting up, we hear someone stomp by overhead.

I look up, because it's kind of loud, and my mother does too. She, however, looks concerned. "There isn't a second floor on the convent," she said.

THAT got my attention fast. The convent is old and very creepy, not someplace I'd ever want to be alone in. A little freaked out, we contiuned setting up and finally we got ready to leave. I was carrying an armload of stuff out to the car when I very nearly walked into a ladder.

>.<

It turns out that the church handyman, Jerry, was fixing something on the roof. He's NEVER been up on that roof when people are inside, but managed to scare my mother and I half to death. As we left, he was walking over to the other side of the old convent where there is perpetual Adoration going on and was going to drum out "The Saints Come Marching In."

Who wants to bet the priest is going to mention this in his homily on Saturday?

I got some work done on some pictures last night, which makes me feel better. I've had a bit of an artist's block since the end of November, and that can rightly be blamed on NaNo being over. So, some thumbnails for you guys. Honest criticism is always appreciated, although these are both just the inks, I've yet to color them.



A chibi-Shrike head. I actually found this, I don't remember when I drew it so I cleaned it up and inked it. I'll probably use him as an Livejournal icon once I color him. I have Cavan icons but no Shrike ones... man, the poor rogue doesn't get any love!



That thumb is the first panel of a comic I doodled and forgot about. Yeah, it's crap but it makes me laugh. In the very last panel, the hirigana reads "Nigete! Uwaaaaa!" (Run away!)

I am an unredeemable Poke-geek.



Finally, the thumbnail for a larger picture that I'm coloring now. I like the way Ed turned out. Hee. ^_^x; (If I get this done in the next 24 hours, it may just be my Christmas card this year, too.)

I like to draw. ^_^x;

Watched a little more of Captain Tsubasa last night. That was fun, but unfortunately I only have the first six episodes. It's a 52-episode series, and with a little bit of digging I've found out they've only subbed the first 10 episodes. That makes me sad, Captain Tsubasa is fun.

Hopefully it will get licensed soon. Off-hand, the only sports anime I can think of off-hand that's been released over here is Princess Nine (which I love as well). I guess I like sports anime for the same reason I like fighting anime, and especially if I've played the sport.

Ick, my coherence is breaking down. I think I'll go color for a bit, that's a perfectly mind-numbing activity.
