And here is my history/Ling notebook from second year… Today is just Music History. Tomorrow will be more Music History, and possibly Linguistics as well. But for today here’s a bunch of sketches. (MH stands for Music History)
The famous I LIKE PICKLES Flairé, Music History, Sep 3 ’08. Elbows too high, but otherwise the first sketch of my concept for a t-shirt.
Nieril Kylyralessa sha Nunathoemlen, MH, Sep 30, ’08. Bit too much hair around her face, actually.
Nieron Flaer Flaré sha Lilemlen, same class. I like Flaer. I really do. He’s often overshadowed by the more dramatic members of his family. But he’s a nice guy.
Zela and Flaer, same class. More terrible attempts at drawing kissing! Actually, this was my go-to picture for kalmaei. “Which one’s the girl?” Only 50% of questionees got it right. Meh.
Little Flairé heads, MH, Oct 6, ’08. So cute! Three different expressions for your perusal. ‘not amused’, ‘?’, and ‘so there!’.
Sometimes L scribbles cute little things in my book, too.
“Juliet Mitsuaishi”, a character I have no memory of creating, MH, Oct 14, ’08. Or what franchise she was for. I’m guessing something Japanese.
Just thought I’d mention the Felix MENDELSSOHNNNNNN!!!!!!!-Bartholdy that I put in my book… MH, Oct 21, ’08. Also on Nov 25 we listened to Mussorgsky’s song In Four Walls – Sleeplessness and apparently the text is similar to a kalmaeiring song (which is considerably less depressing, however). Here’s what I wrote: -dark sleeplessness -dark dark dark -time is rushing on yet the night is endless
MichaelG, Linguistics101, Nov 21 ’08. Fellow student with very nice black hair when it’s not chopped off severely. Drat the military and their haircuts! Also Flaer, next page. AND lx-sama and MichaelG’s hair, MH, Nov 21 ’08. SO SHINY. (pokes hair)
Little Flairé luv!! And different people’s hair. MH, Dec 2, ’08. Flairé’s hair, someone else’s hair, someone who is apparently not Bob, and lx-sama’s hair.
Vaguely chibi people, MH, Jan 7 ’09. Flairé is watching me exude a heart.
Not very good scribbles of MichaelG, same class. Sorry, Michael!
Ceniro looking awesome, not-Ceniro looking not-awesome, and humans in the 21st Century according to evolutionists?! MH Jan 14 ’09. Love that middle shot of Ceniro.
Looooommming Sunken Cathedral. MH, Jan 16, ’09. Well, we got to Debussy!
Someone’s face, same class. Looks to be drawn from an actual person, but he’s not labelled.
Flairé looking coy, same class.
Flaria swooning, Flairé’s ear, MH, Jan 21, ’09
Zela, same class. Nose way too long.
Rainy Flairé and random kalma, MH, Jan 27, ’09. I like Flairé here.
Nieron Marteth (sorta) sha Lilemlen, and Esgalwen, I think, though I’m not sure. Same class.
Wozzeck is the villain to whom we are sympathetic in Berg’s opera of the same name as the title character. So who is the hero? asks my teacher. “I am,” says Flairé, with his nose in the air. : D MH, Jan 28, ’09.
A flower and wind spirit. Same class.
Tiny tiny Ceniro! MH, Feb 4, ’09
So that takes us partway through second term, and through the first third of my notebook. More tomorrow.
Am very tired today. I accidentally worked an extra hour at work today because their clock was wrong and I didn’t know it was wrong because they don’t close at the end of my shift like they used to. They have a ‘restaurant’-type deal going on, with menus and formal waitresses and alcohol and everything. But I got to show around their new evening dishwasher, who’s really really cute, so that wasn’t too bad today. I forgot to tell him about the squeegee for the floor, though, and I have a feeling he might need that. But he catches on fast.
Yesterday I went to the performance of .t’s show The World Outside. It was pretty epic. I didn’t like the beginning, but I did like the music with the clip of the waterfalls. And I have the DVD, so I can listen to it (on lower volume : S ) as much as I want! : D And I liked the end, of course. The pretty sparkly bits. Meh, you know me. Of course those would be the bits I like. Oh, and the very very very beginning, with the title, that part was epic.
Last night after the concert, I went out with friends to a drinking establishment for the first time in my life… I didn’t drink myself, though the fruity drinks don’t look as bad as, say, beer. But I don’t need alcohol to get drunk. Just ask Kira, who took me outside and calmed me down after I went into hysteria. That’s what happens when I’m up for more than 16 hours and the atmosphere is excited. …It was pretty surreal. That might have been Kevin’s fault, though.
Then I felt bad for not doing much besides all that yesterday so I came home and wrote down the bit that .t’s show inspired in me, a bit of Zela’s story with Zela and Gullac…
And yesterday morning I bought a laptop cooler pad, so that’s good. It’s a little noisy, but now my table won’t catch on fire.
I watched The Matrix for the first time just before this picture with my friend lx, and he said to me in the middle of it: “I like Neo’s coat. Get me Neo’s coat, Jen.”
I have to say… sweatdrop. Y’know, that anime convention that an embarrassed or exasperated character has a large rain-drop shape on the back/side of their head.
