    Art Post: Darth Maul

    This was for the yearly auction at my mom’s school (previously did two LOTR coloured pencil pieces). This year I didn’t have time to get one done in time for the actual auction, so I did a “You-Pick-It” sort of thing. The winner (a 3rd grader) picked Darth Maul. I like how his face turned out, don’t like the saber!…

    when i apparently critique myself too harshly

    Guestbook post: (deleted, now) “Are you always so negative about your Potter pictures? Most of them had the “I don’t really like it”, “It’s not very good” sort of explanations. Why do you show them, then if they are so ugly…?” ANSWER: Because I feel like it. Look I don’t hate on everything but I also don’t kid myself. I’m…

    For those who didn’t know, besides having to get everything ready for C3, I’ve been having to do the usual spring play poster TOO. It’s been crazy. But the poster is done, and all but little accessories done for costumes… First off, the Seussical poster: I would love it if I hadn’t had to squeeze all those 800 people at…

    when i could spell xochimilco

    I memorized how to spell the city name Xochimilco just for my test today… and then he didn’t even show that slide. I was so disappointed. I felt like just writing Xochimilco at the end of the test just because I wanted to show that I could spell Xochimilco.

First the photographer took pictures of us all together, then ones of my parents, and then ones of…

    when i gave my thoughts on GOF

    Goblet of Fire pics I guess I’m in the minority of liking Ron’s hair. Like, really liking. If it were any longer I wouldn’t. Harry, Ron & Hermione: good! Fleur: eh. *shrugs* I like her ok. I think she’s good, not great, certainly not my mental image of a part-veela, but… ok. Rita: Not at all how I imagined, but…
