aiwelossnowicon This is another piece of fanart for True Magic which I ought to have posted long long ago, but I forgot about it somehow. It’s Kiku serving Gauthicus iced tea, based on several ‘outtakes’ in which Gauthicus demands iced tea. Hilarious. She also says that making Kiku Gauth’s teaboy is perfect. Eee!

Well, I went shopping, like I said I would… I bought one new pair of jeans (they aren’t perfect, but I’ll look for better jeans later, maybe…) and a pretty decoration-type scarf (rather than my lovely winter scarf that is so awesome but not so good for seasons like spring) and two very nice knit tops that make me look slim. I also bought new stationary (write me, Kir! so I can show you!) even though I’m not out of the old stuff yet, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was depressing. It suggests that humanity is a cycle of violence. It was also very interesting. I just didn’t like the last page or so.

<rant>I hate shopping. The stores always have music that seems selected for the purpose of driving me out again, and the merchandise is either stuff I would never wear, stuff I would wear that has something wrong with it (I found a pretty white skirt – I’ve always wanted a white skirt – but it was see-through! Ugh), stuff I would wear but in horrid colours (there’s this really hideous gold that’s popular this year… and orange… and neon turquoise…), stuff that doesn’t fit… it’s very difficult to find stuff I like in a good colour that fits.</rant>

Last chapter of Rekka no Ken: Vol. 1: The Tactician and the Heiress is up! And as you can see I’ve chosen the name of the first chapter for the next volume which I haven’t written yet. I think A Lord’s Quest is appropriate. Now I just have to figure out what happens! Something about a jewel, which is the object of the quest, and some intrigue mixed in… Haven’t tried writing intrigue before. This will be tricky. Better make an association web before I begin.

It’s sooooo hot around here… I spend my time in the morning doing computer and piano and then in the afternoon I work on my models and play video games and in the evening I read. Yesterday I painted one of my horses for the Knights of the Silver Fountain in Gondolin. Or whatever they’re called. Ecthelion is the boss, but he’s not painted yet. I’ll paint another horse today, maybe. Yesterday’s was a bit sloppy but I don’t really care right now. It will do. It’s shiny enough, with a white hide and silver armour. I also beat the last chapter of the first part of Fire Emblem 10. Why do they see fit to put a trailer to the rest of the game after the first section? If you think you need an in-game preview to keep your gamers hooked, you have a bad game. Or at least you think you do. Stupid game designers. Lucia’s hair ftw! Geoffrey’s devotion ftw! Elincia rules ftw! MARCIA’S HAIR IS LONGER OHMIGOSH! …My brother is working on paper planes and a Warhammer castle.

Second volume of the Tour de France book is equally poorly written as the first one. Did I say that already? It bears repeating. But hooray for George Hincapie!! It’s rather cool how in the last chapter there are increasing numbers of names that I KNOW. ‘Tis awesome.

Btw Awkward Zombie wins. I mean, Eliwood wins.

gauth01 Edit: This post was prepared on Tuesday but not posted until Thursday because the weather is just too hot around here for computers to feel safe. In my opinion.

This is some fanart drawn for Aja and True Magic; it’s of the youthful, intelligent, and (if circumstances would allow it better) kind zomie Ted, in a random situation I just thought up. I’m very proud of this one, because it has an extensive background and shading. And a sort of a joke. I forget what Aja’s counterjoke was, but I’ll remember it sometime.

Today, I have an early piano lesson. Eeek! I haven’t had much time to practice. I guess I should just grab the Beethoven and play the part that she hasn’t heard yet. Then… I’m going shopping! My secondary pair of jeans went out of commission on Sunday, if I forgot to write about that… huge rip and several threadbare spots. So I’m down to my last pair, which has been getting rather ripped itself. So… two pairs of new jeans, hopefully that fit me a little better… I was hoping to slim down a bit more before I went and got any but such is life. Or something. I also want new tops – they’re getting wrecked by work and just general use as well. Some of these clothes I’m throwing out I’ve had for a good long time – like eight years, maybe, for the black-and-flowers Chinese-collared top I’m wearing right now. Those two are still going strong. But I should get new ones. I still want a new black, longsleeved concert top for chorus concerts. I’ll worry about a concert dress once my concert date gets closer.

I’m reading the second volume of Mom’s Tour de France book. Most excellent. Funny introduction. Writing is same quality as the other book. Just finished reading about Eddy Merckx, the rider Bob Roll kept referring to earlier in this year’s Tour.

I also forgot to mention that according to some people, Joey Petraroia looks just like Alberto Contador. I can see that.

I has shiniiiiiiiieeesssss! Bookmarks from LinT. Whoo!

Stupidly hot here again.

Another chapter of Rekka no Ken: Vol. 1: The Tactician and the Heiress is up for avoidance at your leisure. I’m not sure about this one. Ceniro’s attraction to Lyn, barely hinted at in the previous chapters, comes across a bit strong and sudden. Opinions? Also, Eagler seems a bit improbable. Why shouldn’t Ceniro try to save him too? I did write a draft in which Eagler commits suicide rather than appear to have failed to Lundgran… would that work better? Oh well, only one more chapter in this volume, and then I will do more Ephraim, and then I will do Volume 2: The Tactician and the Jewel.
