old

This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

    when i watched utena

    I’m in need of some weird-ass Utena goodness. Or something. I think I’ll have an Utena marathon. I haven’t watched the series in a long while. I just watched the movie the other night… must have been what sparked this.

    when i ranted about art

    Ugh. I’ve been going thru one of those “I’m a horrible artist” moods every artist goes thru… maybe it’s cause my last 3 illus projects have turned out to be crap. But don’t worry about me, it’s just a phase. Sigh! while I’m ranting, why can’t people understand that I’m not some faceless, emotionless popular drone that just pops out…

    when i panicked over the poster

    Ok, starting today, I’m going to be house-sitting and watching my cousin until Thursday. During the day I’ll be home and working on finishing the requests (and my MOB sub..) and at night I’ll be over there working on SunDowner. I’ll have net access either way, but no Photoshop or anything over there. I went to the play last night……

    when i was excited for con

    I’ve been looking thru Convention photos at a Fan’s View, and I just had to come over and say… GAAAAAAH I CAN’T WAIT FOR ANIMAZEMENT!!!!!!!!!! Hehehe *bounces around* This is going to be my first anime convention! I mean, I’ve been to the local comic convention, but that’s not the same. It’s really small. Not many people in costume either!…

    when school was scary

    I was up at my old high school last night. I watched the first half of their dress rehersal, and it looks like the play is going to be REALLY funny. It’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and they asked me to come up and watch again so I could come up with a picture…

    when i complained about class

    Don’t worry about the post below, but THANKS to everybody who suggested something 😀 I ended up going with my first idea, which I thought was crappy, but the teacher actually liked it. So, whatever. Here ’tis: That teacher also brought up something I’ve been wondering for a while. I’m taking Life Drawing this semester, which means Figure Drawing. But…

    when i was out of ideas

    QUICK!! I just remembered I got a project to turn in tomorrow. I need ideas. I gotta illustrate an article about Columbine. Yeah… Actually, the Legacy of Columbine and how it’s changed schools and kids in schools today. (It’s a Time article). Any ideas? We’re not supposed to be silly with it, either. It’s supposed to be a serious illustration,…

    when i had a kero on my hand

    As I told Tony last night, I drew this ‘formal’ Kero-chan on my hand Saturday night with a purple marker. I call him ‘formal’ because he’s wearing a top hat and bowtie. I figured it would wash right off… I was wrong. DEAD WRONG! Nope, it’s still there, despite some pretty strong scrubbing. At least my teacher didn’t notice it…

    when i Drew Carey came over

    Oh good, apparently AD was removed from HP Survivor! As nice as it was to be considered one of the “top 16 HP sites” on the web, I would have preferred to have been asked beforehand. I don’t have time to answer *mail,* much less go answer HP trivia questions before anyone else and such! Anyway, I was playing House…

    when i updated my sims game

    Oh, I got House Party yesterday! It’s cool! Now, before I can dive into to talking about it, let me give you a brief run-down of my Sims experience. -Get The Sims in Jan. Will not run on our GOOD computer, but will run on mine. Takes up lots of valuable space on mine. -Get Living Large. Once again, neither…

    I keep forgetting to plug this! One of the coolest gifs I have ever gotten, for my half birthday. Neurotic Jedis! Morwen drew me and Ash in our Starwars incarnations!! Check out Morwen’s page for sure, there is Harry Potter art and SunDowner art too! XD *bows to Morwen*

    when i had some broken links

    I should send off for the enjoyable art test… I don’t want the wonderful world of art to pass me by… LOOK! Look what Sylvia made for me! (missing image) And… (missing image) Yay! Ellie and Tanja only THINK they were the evillest Death Eaters of all time, but Ash and I were eviller. See, because I’m evil, I can…

    when ash was scared of the red bull

    Have you ever noticed how everybody had something that they were terrified of when they were a kid? I’m not talking about, like, the dark or zombies in the woods or anything, but simple things. Things that everybody made fun of you for being scared of. For example, David Bowie. Well, actually, I think every kid who grew up seeing…
