TODAY

SO TODAY I had a pretty good day today. My dad bought some of this fizzy asian soda candy in melon, orange, and Ramune flavors, so I've been snacking on that all day.
We went to Lowe's today to get things done.
My mom and I picked out a Meyer lemon tree and a navel orange tree, which I'm going to plant in the backyard tomorrow.
We also got a new grill, and after spending three hours to put it together, we finally got it finished!!!
Yay grills!

I can't wait for summer
And when high school is over
Messing with this is kind of interesting.
Going to a barbeque tomorrow with some family friends.
Why doesn't it feel like summer yet?

CURSE YOU EL NINO!!!!

Finished my drawing!

Here you go Ellyn.

So I did a grid system, from 2cm squares to half an inch. Because of the weird conversion, parts were kind of skewed, so it wasn't really too helpful. I didn't use the grid system often, mainly to get the size and shape of stuff correct. I didn't get any of the faces right, or hands, John's especially. This took me last night and the better part of a day. I'll probably upload more soon.

Drawing

So I've actually been drawing quite a bit, not just doodles (although there are plenty of those...) but some legit full-scale drawings of stuff.

Right now I'm working on re-drawing this awesome beatles picture I've found on the interbutts.

I'll probably scan it in and some other drawings I've made and post them here or facebook.

I really enjoy drawing, it's very calming, and an amazing way to spend a weekend. It's too bad I'm going to college fo music, 'cause I would go to the Portland Art Institute in a heartbeat.

I just saw "It's Complicated" last night, the one with Meryl Streep(?) and the Baldwin from 30 Rock. It certainly lived up to it's name, and was pretty entertaining.

I'm planning on going to PAX this september, which is the biggest gaming convention in North America. Imagine, 100,00 people all playing tabletop, console, and computer games. It will be amazing.

Hey!

It's been so long. I guess I haven't done this in a while, I even accidentally posted an empty post on accident.

So now I'm a junior, going on senior. I can't wait to get out of high school, it's kind of frustrated. It seems sometimes that everybody's worried about other things than actual school.

I've got my post-high school plan semi-mapped out.

1) Get a job (applying to Bed Bath and Beyond right now)
2)Go to a community college while gaining money from said job.
3) Take the required courses that PSU freshman must take.
4) Do music stuff at the community college.
5) Finish that stuff.
6) Get to PSU.
7) Room with somebody downtown.
8)Have amazing shenanigans downtown
9)Start an awesome folk/electro duo, playing drums.
10)Take PSU courses in Music Performance and Jazz Studies
11)Start a badass Jazz/Metal band playing guitar.
12)Get a cat.
13)Graduate PSU.
14)Get a job performing.
15)Get a job instructing schools.
