Jen: Leslie! Are you all right?
Leslie: Jen?! What are you doing here? And why do you have a sword?
Jen: Ummmmm… I’m here to rescue you! And it’s a rapier, ’cause I actually know how to use one sorta! And no Saxophone Alex jokes!
Chibi Saxophone Alex: Bwahaha
…No, Chibi Saxophone Alex is not actually there. But he would probably make an inappropriate comment at this point, so I drew him in because I felt like it. Oh, and hey, it’s me! I’m not sure what you folks will think of self-insertion. But as long as you consider me just as another character, I don’t think you’ll be bothered. More will become clear next page.
I was doing the colouring late last night and I really nearly messed up on the backgrounds.
…Drawing Alex was fun. : ) Maybe I’ll put him in a future episode. He’s so unpredictable, though. It would be hard to write for him.
EDIT: It’s totally not a rapier. It’s a combat foil or something. Like, it has a sharp pokey tip, but it doesn’t have the stiffness etc. of a real rapier. I know this now.
I had a birthday today! I actually had it about two weeks ago, but we saved it for today because last week was recital. I was given great presents all of them:
a digital painting magazine;
a ‘how to draw horsies’ book, ages 6+ : ) ;
a small metallic watercolour painting kit;
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass;
THE NEW NOROUET CD OMIGOSH OMIGOSH WHEE;
a biography of Alex the Parrot;
the black NaNoWriMo 2009 Novelling Machine shirt;
and The Dark is Rising, second book in the series of the same name.
Also I’m counting my recital dress as a present because the money used to buy it was a present.
YAY! Time to rock out to some hawt French-Canadian traditional music, yo!
Note: Éric Beaudry, who is in Norouet and who is also in La Bottine Souriante, was performing with LBS at the Olympic Closing Ceremonies during the ‘Let’s Lampoon Canada’ segment with the flying moose, and that short glimpse of him/them was all it took to completely change my view of the Games.
Anything else happen this week? Well, I went to an orchestra concert on Friday (I’m getting worried; orchestra doesn’t turn me on like it used to) and afterwards I went out with Kira and Kevin and three Alexes and Thor and Connor and Nathan and Cedric and Maris, and had pizza and… alcoholic cider. O_O It was interesting.
If anyone starts teasing me about it I will be severely annoyed so don’t plzkthx. (I still don’t hold with drinking, personally : P )
This is a good CD. Go listen to it. : ) These guys are awesome. I <3 French-Canadian trad. music.
Edit: IT HAS THE SHOPPING LIST SONG OMIGOSH SQUEE
