Toys and timing

 
So I finally saw Toy Story 3. It was pretty good. I'm not gonna mention anything spoilerific here, but let's just say, I love all three movies. And I'm totally one of those kids that used to think my toys were alive (hahaha, used to?). Buzz and Jessie are part of my favorite Pixar couples. Pixar, why are you so good at making various weird things/people fall deep in love? I mean really? 

Spanish mode. That is all.

I made some sketches with mild spoilers, so click this link if you've seen the movie and want to see the sketches.

Aside from that, today was a holiday in Québec. It's Baptist Day, a summer solstice celebration actively protected by canadian francophones. It's a french holiday popular in France that became a symbol and celebration of the french canadian culture after the french sold Québec to the English. I'm not very patriotic, so I just drew today, but it's cool to see people celebrate.

Yesterday there was an earthquake in Montréal and Ottawa. It shook more in Ottawa. My brother, mother and friends were evacuated from the shaking university of Ottawa buildings. It was a 5.6 earthquake, but no one was injured. 

A friend of mine, the amusing Moggy from [livejournal.com profile] vonandmoggy  is about the undergo surgery. Here is a little drawing for her and her comic artist boyfriend. You have my support you guys!

No wonder you logged on this morning! I was wondering...and yes, ninja mode since I was getting ready for work. I would have poked you otherwise. Speaking of ninja...

STEALTH!

Anyway, if the giant plush is adorable, there's no way he can get rid of it! If anything, he ought to take a page from Andy's book and find it a new home. Dang Toy Story 3 for making me feel better about hoarding my special toys long after childhood. One of these days they'll be played with by kids again. My Power Puff Girls alone have been claimed by my nieces...and I have to laugh that my nephew is really taken with them as well. Too funny!

I'm glad the earthquake was on the weaker side. Enough to shake people up, but not enough to cause serious damage. I'll never complain about getting to end the work/school day early for an earthquake though! One of my most awe-inspiring/unsettling experiences in Seattle was during the Nisqually quake (see, 'squally'!). All of downtown Seattle was deathly silent afterward, something it NEVER is. Anyway, before I get lost in babble, again I'm glad it wasn't worse.

I hope the surgery goes well for your friend. :(

Ninja mode. XD Can't tell you I have a day off while you're in ninja mode. Why are you in ninja mode so often XD

And yes, I still own and love Stealth. He's so cool.

Maybe we can bring him to the donation center instead of just tossing him. Link actually found him while someone else was throwing him out. He's not that cute or cuddly either. It's a cheap carnaval plush. It just seems somewhat sad and wasteful to toss out a plus in perfectly good shape.

I stay in ninja mode when I don't want to be caught online, I've been here and there for the past..heck, since coming home I've just been doing a lot of things. I guess I just don't want to be stuck online for longer than I want to, so I lurk and pounce when I see people on. And I literally saw you online mere minutes before I had to leave, so I had enough time to wonder why you were on, then I had to get off my computer so I could leave the house. (If you see any comments from me during the day, you can thank my iPod and the bakery now having wi-fi. I can easily check e-mail and LJ during my breaks.)

Donation is far better than having it take up space in a landfill. At least, if it's still in good condition and doesn't look like it's been roughed up by living out on the streets or something.... ^_^;

LOL your icon is perfect for this.

A spy icon was must! I've actually had an icon of Amelia spying on Lina and Gourry since forever ago (courtesy of a comic by Rui Araizumi), but I was finally able to update it thanks to the awesomeness that is Evolution-R. Come to think of it, it's a tad disturbing when your avatar engages in similar activities as you!

Naw, that's why you choose those avatars!
