Best Doctor Who episode ever.

Seriously. I wanna watch it again, but maybe later. I'm already tearing up. Again. They handled Van Gogh's mental illness SO well, too. I was worried they'd gloss over it because lots of little kids watch this show. It's good they didn't, because people have to learn about it sooner or later. Beautiful episode. <3

Other news... de Blob sequel has a general release time! Yay!

It's in Spring 2011! Boo. Of course, it's de Blob, so I'll wait as long as it takes. Love that game. And the DS version is finally happening, too.

Hair's been taken out, washed, and trimmed. Mom wasn't happy about its length (even though it'd grown at least an inch, but because it hadn't been straightened out, it looked much shorter), but I like it. It's like a little shorter than chin-length right now. I had it shoved underneath a winter hat, and the hair was just long enough to poke out of the bottom. I didn't perm it since that would set me back--still planning on locking my hair--so it's just been pressed. The humidity will play havoc with it, I'm sure, but that's okay. Having it out is temporary, just to let it breathe a bit. I'm either going to braid it up again, or find some place to start the locking process.

Have homework to work on. Two illustrations, one started in class but still missing some stuff before I can color it, one still in the planning stages (I had an idea for it that involved an extreme close-up, but I've realized I might not be able to do it that way because the donkey's skin should be visible). Also need to work more on the Cezanne copy.

(In the aftermath of Doctor Who, I SWEAR I want to change my painting decision and go back to Van Gogh. I wanted to do one of his paintings--either one of the ones with the cypresses or The Starry Night--and chickened out once I saw them in person and how utterly complex they look. I'm only in Beginning Painting, after all, and we're not supposed to use a grid to help us. But damn if they didn't just cement The Starry Night in place as my favorite painting ever. I might actually e-mail Prof. Segre and ask if I can switch. We have to say a little something about the artist we pick, and I really want to just dive into a biography of Van Gogh now.)

Water slides are popular at water parks and may form alternatives to those who don't like such intense rides at other amusement parks.^{[citation needed]}

Really, Wikipedia? You need citation for that? Totally makes wikis like TVTropes look 1,000 times better. (I was only on there looking for a good reference pic. XD;)

Apparently lots of druggies are coming into the building and there may not be a whole lot management can do about it! They hang out on the floor above or below their contact. There's someone who waits on our floor. Mom's had to ring the doorbell of a neighbor twice to ask him to watch her go into the apartment, just so the guy knows not to try anything. I know there are a few in the building. There's one woman on the first floor, she's always got visitors coming, and not nice-looking ones, either. Seriously. When I hit the lottery, Mom and I are moving. The plan is to move to 77 Hudson in Jersey. XD

My dog's resting his head on his rawhide bone and looking incredibly cute. (If I need to cut this, let me know. I'm lazy. XD;)



Right, back to work! I kind of want to get the "joy" illustration done and over with so I can focus on other things. Illustration final's this Thursday! Also e-mailed Prof. Segre. Waiting to see what she says about the painting. She'll probably tell me to stick with Cezanne, especially since I've already started, but it's worth a shot. ^^;

CUTEST DOCTOR COSPLAY EVER.

Also, Mom told me earlier that for just a second, she saw Craig's portrait that I'm almost done painting and thought he was sitting there. XD Best reaction to get, because that's what I'm going for. It's still going to look like a painting, because I do not have Chuck Close's skill, but if it looks real enough that it fools someone for a sec, that's good.

Was supposed to be arting, but just got finished watching DW Confidential 5x09, because I wanted to see the tour and that incredibly goofy dance Matt and Karen did. I love those two, seriously. So dorky.

Okay. Back to work. Again. ^^;
