Theres no place like 127.0.0.1

Back home from visiting my family and friends in Ottawa. It was a short but good visit. I had plenty of fun, drank good marshmallow-y hot chocolate and got to poke a hyper baby. Generally, life is good.

Unfortunately, I made a friend cry by accident on Friday. I reminder her of bad things by being clumsy and silly. I kinda want to draw her something as an apology. Maybe I should bring marshmallows with me.

I tried to draw on the bus, on the way back. Drawing in moving vehicles is something I culd never do. Everything is scratchy and sketchy and out of control. I still keep trying though. Lots of Astrid in these sketches. I guess I love that "How to Train you Dragon" viking-ess. 

The bus seats were horrible. My butt is sore.



Monday, it's back to the cubicle. But I feel this weekend gave me a bit of love energy. Crappy clients, you will not get to me!

One of my favorite webcomics, Yu+Me Dream is entering it's final chapter. OMG. Am I suppose to be this excited about it?

I saw a trailer for Beastly last week. earthstar_chan  is, like me, curious about this modern "Beauty and the Beast" adaptation where the "Beast" starts off as a pretty boy that seems to mix Tony Stark and Legolas. Either this is a "Twilight" wannabe, or an actual better movie being advertised like a "Twilight" wannabe to bring in the masses. I guess only time, and a dvd rental, will tell. I might go see it in theatres if rotten tomatoes is kind to it.

p.s. - Tech humor. For those of you who don't know : 127.0.0.1 is a loopback to the home computer. So, no place like home!

Mistakes happen, I know I'm guilty of upsetting people without even trying, but making it up to your friend isn't a bad idea. (Hot chocolate sounds really good about now!) I'm glad that aside from that and other painful experiences, you had a good time.

I love the hodgepodge of characters you sketched! All things considered (like bumpy buses), I really like how a lot of them turned out, The doodle of you with a Work Creature is begging to become an icon!

Ashtrid is a fun character. Besides, vikings are awesome. Do you need any other excuse to draw them? ^_~ I'm glad you had a good time.

I'll probably give the movie a DVD rental unless I hear it's not terrible. I think it's based off a novel, so maybe at some point I'll give that a try. As you said, the trailer could just be giving it a Twilight look to make money.

You could draw well on a galloping horse!

Oh I got to see How to train your dragon Saturday! Loves it so! Astrid is bad ass, but I am really wanting to draw me some toothless! =D

I love doodling random stuff all glued together like that. Most of my LJ comics are also surrounded with doodles (I edit them out with photoshop). I am quite the messy illustrator XD

I await for reviews. Based off a novel doesn't mean it will be a good movie. :(

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks! *laughs*

Toothless is the most awesome thing animate recently.

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

He's got that Puss in Boots eye thing going! LOL! XD

Oh I realize that (look at Twilight. @_@) I just meant I might read the novel to see if the original story this movie is based on is any good.

I oh so love the facial expressions in there ^^ I might draw Astrid as well since I like her a lot!
