            Later again. Like, by a few hours, yo.

            Leslie: (sitting quietly in large jail-type cell) I’m so scared… and bored… They still haven’t told me what I’m doing here… I think it’s something to do with Flairé…

            Door: *THUMP*

            Leslie: ?

            Door: *swish* (opens softly)

Yes, it’s b/w again. I had a recital this morning. It went pretty good. I <3 harpsichord. And Dutilleux. There may be YouTube videos later.

Now I’m watching MST3K Horror at Party Beach. Colour after that!

I hate drawing bars/stairs/perspective. She came out pretty good in panel two, though. I wasn’t going to add the little aside in panel one but then I thought “what the heck, it’s supposed to be light-hearted, really”.

And why, yes, this is supposed to be a formless cave of a room. Gee, get off my case.

…Picture 600! That’s like another hundred than before!

Hi! I’m scared stiff. It will be absolutely fabulous if a million and one things don’t go wrong. The one I’m most worried about is tensing up like a board for the first half of the coda of the Liszt. Other than that I should be equable to whatever happens. Hopefully I don’t have any memory slips.
…This is really quite a lot of music. I only realize that occasionally.
Cheers! Hope to see some of you there!

Aur scribble

I felt like posting something! The only thing I have left to do today is practice (and study Latin and play Guild Wars - Kessex Peak is still waiting!) so I decided to put SOMETHING UP. Especially since I’m bored and I’ve been listening to Kalmaeirin playlists on my iTunes for the last two hours while I wrote my Linguistics paper for this week.

Soooo… this is the first picture I drew with Corel Painter, with the pencil tool and my glorious tablet, and it is of Aur from Dreigiau. It’s not very good, so I didn’t send it to Aywren. I mean, it’s better than the last picture of Aur I drew. But still not really good enough. Though I think it’s decent enough to be posted. The scribble of Link I did a few weeks ago, though… X P That will not be posted. Ugh.

I think I gave Aur too much eyelashes.

Cheers!

          Leslie: (falls out of large Abduction-bag™)Who are you? W-what do you want with me?

          Burly soldier: Be quiet, shrimp. (whaps Leslie)

          Cardinal-Jay: Be nice, soldier. You don’t know how long we’ll have to keep this one.

          Leslie: (shiver)

Oh my! A nice looking red-haired guy! Maybe he’s a good guy! …Maybe not. But now that I know he doesn’t look like a sack of potatoes maybe I’ll make him into an actually character. I mean, he doesn’t even have a name.

I’m sad that you can’t see how buff Mr. Bad Guy is because his suit is so dark, so here is the lineart. He looks a little psycho, though. o_O7 Hmmm.

It’s an indistinct blobby room! D :

I picked up a book that talks about LotR at the church today! Wow!

In other news, there is a Reading Bake today, and I will try and go. I’m not sure if I should make pumpkin muffins or The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever which came out of a Martha Stewart magazine, believe it or not.

Homemade Chinese food for supper tonight! Yay!

First things first. I has a glamour! Which means I have a pretty purple dress for my recital. I’m not a very sexy girl, but the dress is nice. It needs some adjustment, though.

I also am now torn between my grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary, and the RCCO Colleague exam. I think the exam can be postponed until next year, though.

I played some Guild Wars today. I have discovered Beetletun. Next up, the hot springs with the murder!

It’s Ash Wednesday. I’m hungry.

I love harpsichord. ^_^7

It’s beautifully sunny out (before the sun goes down) and the cherry trees are in blossom all over Vic. However, I’m cold. I’m going to go practice.

I drew a quick sketchie for people who celebrate Valentine’s Day. I wasn’t gonna, but there you are.

Princess Kyla has made a human style Valentine’s card for Prince Lyrestan! I think he likes it…

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Dun Dun Dunnn!

The Totally Not-Canon Adventures of Flairé: Episode 1: Lost Blackbird: Page 17: Dun Dun Dunnn!

drawn/coloured Feb 13-14

              Flairé: Flaria, be a sweetheart and grab me some travelling things, would you? I need to go look for Miss Leslie.

              Flaria: What’s happened?

              Flairé: The extremists have snatched her out from under my very nose. They’re an alert gang… I’ll make sure they’re not so alert after tonight… |: (

Hey, guys! Colour will be up later! Obligations now.

Dun dun dunnn! : D

Oh, Happy Valentine’s. Also the Feast of St. Cyril and some other bloke who spread the Good News in Russia long ago.

Kitchens are hard. Flaria puts her hair in a braid when she’s working in ‘em. Good idea, no? And I’m not sure what Flairé does with those long dramatic laces on his gauntlets. I think he tucks them inside somewhere.

Determined Flairé is determined. And sexy. Imo.

We cooked all afternoon. It was crazy. Mom went insane for V-day and made Caeser salad (actually I did that part - anchovies are, like, pure salt) and chicken pot pies with pastry hearts and almond flavoured ice cream and heart shaped cookies. I got to decorate most of them (with pink icing) so I put lots of movie quotes. Like “As you wish”, “I know” (Han Solo), ”Someday my prince will come”, “Kiss de girl”, “So this is love”, ”INDYYYYY!” and “If music be the food of luv, play on”. My brother helped a lot, though he has forgotten Cinderella.

Also I watched a review of The Phantom Menace which is insightful and indepth, and hilarious, but has a LOT of swear words because the reviewer is pretending to be an ignoramus. But if you ever hear me saying “What’s wrong with your faaa~aaaace” it’s from that review because of the Nemodian with the wierd face implants. The one who says “They’ve gone up the ventilation shaft!” D : “How do you know that? Seriously, how do you know that? What’s wrong with your faaa~aaace?”

And I went for a walk today in the bright sun, and my brother and I basically spent the whole walk trying to calculate if it was more sensible to use a single bolt or take advantage of the Warhammer High Elves’ awesome repeater bolt thrower which fires six shots at S4. We determined eventually that there is indeed a higher chance of killing knights (or whatever) by using six bolts. Mystery solved! After much math, including factoring in Lady’s Saves and things like that…

Did you ever realize just how present the piano is in the Battle of Hoth? Awesome.

My country is embarrassing me

...
Filed under: Random blog posts — Tags: , — Illinia @ 6:34 pm

Okay, kids, what’s up with the Olympics? I was going to ignore the whole thing, but it’s just a huge farce. And it’s barely begun.
Lessee… building a d*** stupid luge track that kills people who haven’t practiced on it; turning our perfectly good National Anthem into a pop song (ick); and to top it all off, proclaiming “WE’RE THE BEST”.
Hello! We’re only the best if we don’t brag about it!
I think we’re no better or worse than any other nation in the world, but congratulations to us, we’re just the next country to find out that the Olympics brings out the worst in the whole flippin everything. Everyone who gets the Olympics tries way too hard, and this just makes them targets for criticism. Targets with neon glow-in-the-dark bullseyes. (and if they don’t try hard, they will get criticized for not spending lots of money! And if they spend lots of money, they get criticized when it’s over budget (and still lame)! D8 infinite loop lose-lose situation! Curse public opinion…)
To bring up stereotypes - we have a pretty good one. We’re the nice, quiet, fairly polite, cynical bunch up north with a dysfunctional political system that we ignore anyway. In general. We’re often the butt of jokes, but we don’t really get too worked up about it. Unlike the other stereotype down south, the Americans, who are all patriotic in their DNA and like to laugh loudly and some of them are pigheads, though none of the ones I’ve ever met. (the ones I’ve met are usually pretty awesome folks) And we’re not like the British, who are all supposed to be fairly stoic and goodnatured or whatever. And we get to act as translators between the two. : ) Okay, that had nothing to do with this, but whatever.
So, yeah, we have no more or fewer of jerks and loudmouths and ignorant people and pigheads and hypocrites than any other country in the world. That’s because we’re all humans together, no matter the culture.
But if we start bragging about how great we are, we immediately set ourselves up for a big, long fall.
I guess it’s kind of like what a friend was talking about the other day: everyone’s only interested in the next huge spectacle. But from reports from (my brother in) the basement, it’s not even that spectacular. (also Google twitter reports I glanced at are not impressed with the rendition of our Anthem either so I’m not alone).
I’m not interested in politics. I usually don’t have any idea what I’m talking about. But this sports deal is just way too stupid to ignore.
So, Canada, please stop trying so hard. It’s not working and you’re just embarrassing the lot of us.

Apologies for the rant. I’ve been having problems with life in general and felt like being snarky. It was sunny today, but it’s mostly been cloudy and cold and wet and spring break is here so no school and my repertoire is hanging in there but I in no way measure up to halfway to the people on my recordings. I wish I was a kalla.

I had the idea that I found Tam’s Last Stand song the other day, but I’ve forgotten what it was. : ( I think it was Mozart but I’m probably wrong.
