I'm back!

[secondlina]

 Hello again, people! I've been away from my house (and my computer) for about 4 days now. Took me a while to catch up on my f-list and webcomics! Haha! I went to visit my family in Ottawa and then Québec city. It was mostly fun. A bit of oddness on my father's side of the family, but generally, I had fun. And it was a nice drawing/computer/stressing about my life break. I did a few non-serious doodles like this one :



It kinda gave me an idea for a new type of painting I want to do. My watercolors used to be isolated fairy tale themes in large negative spaces. I kinda want to try to do pieces where the whole space is filled with motifs. Complicated, color and ink motifs. Yeah, that's going to rock!

For Christmas, my parents gave me a red wii (by the by, wii players on my f-list, I need game suggestions), some comics, a few movies and some clothing. Not to mention an EPIC jewelry box. It's huge! And some red pajama bottoms to replace my old purple ones that are beginning to look old (I wear those on weekends. Yes, i'm an artist with no class, but my butt is comfortable!) Awwww. I suspect my mom was reading thru my lj for ideas. Sneaky mom. Real sneaky. I approve.

And now i'm back home. With some homemade food, opened presents and good news. My new glasses came in, so I can go pick them up tomorrow. Finally. Comfort for my brain! My brain will be as happy as my butt!

Link got good news too. He didn't follow me in my yule time traveling because he got himself a second interview for a job as a game designer. And pretty much all he as to do to get the job is to create a document to show his capacities. According to him, the document pretty much wrote itself, so he's pretty positive about the whole thing! I'm hoping he'll get the job. Go boyfriend, go!

 Time for sleep now methinks. I barely slept all week. And I ate so much. I think i'm still digesting stuff from the first day. 

Fat, happy isa needs sleep.

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *falls asleep*

Iiiiiiiii see a butt!

I recommend Animal Crossing, Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, and Okami.

I don't have a Wii yet, but....Donkey Kong Returns and Super Mario Brothers?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda interested in the Donkey kong :D

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

Let's hope I don't steal your Wii next Christmas. ;D

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

THERE IS A butt! I like butts.

[auriga]

Glad to know you had a pretty good time! That's awesome that your parents gave you a Wii! :D

Also, I really hope Link is able to get that job too~

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Man, he's been wanting a good job for years now too. I hope he gets it!

La fille assise de dos en bas à droite est ÉCOEURANTE!!

Hahah! Merci!

People keep saying good things about Kirby's Epic Yarn, that the art style is too adorable. (Even guys are taken by it!) But, they also say it's not super challenging since you can't die in the game, but that might not be a bad thing for you. Aside from that, you know Epic Mickey is a must!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I suck at not dying, so things where I can't die are probably a good idea.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have Super Mario Bros. and I keep killing Mario. I'M SORRY MARIOOOOOOO!!!!

HI SWEETIE WE MISS YOU :D

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

AW THANKIES!

[kit-a-licious.livejournal.com]

Welcome back! Like the new drawing a lot. Many of them remind me of people I know.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Really? Cool! You must know a lot of people who have freckles.

We've got a red Wii in the house now -- Emily's birthday present!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

It's a popular model! BECAUSE RED IS BETTER.

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Well, I got it for Emily because it came with Mario Brothers, which she's nuts for -- but I agree on the color!

[pinkwa.livejournal.com]

I really want to go in Quebec city ... It seems so beautiful :)

( i like the two lovers in the middle of the page, they are cute :3 )

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

It's a nice city. Too many stairs everywhere though... It's awful to climb during the winter.

(I like to hide lovers in sketch piles like that)

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Congrats Link! And yay you! Sounds like you made out like a bandit! =D All comfy is the best way to be ;)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I missed my comfty! *hops in bed*

[kayla marie (from livejournal.com)]

Red Wii's seem to be very popular this year... Haha...

I noticed nobody mentioned Super Mario Galaxy (There's a 1 and 2.) The problem I have with most games is that they're very short. This game takes a medium effort to win, and quite a bit afterwards to collect everything. On the bright side, they do make it easy to know what and where you're missing. Very very fun. :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I'll have to check those out!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Welcome back! Glad you had a safe trip! And we need to exchange Wii codes sometime! We can play each other!! :DDD

As for games, it depends on what you like. I mean, I have MarioKart, which is fun. I also play pinball a lot.

And congrats to Linkage! :DD

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

You can play with people? O_O

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

A-yep. You trade console codes and if you have the same games, you can connect through wi-fi and play against each other. It's kinda neat!

[kuridee.livejournal.com]

Eee! Pretty sketches are pretty!

I don't have a Wii, but if I did, I would get Mario Party something. I used to play those ones on Gamecube all the time...those were the days.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I liked the first mario parties... the others seemed a bit repetitive. But, plenty of shy guys! That made me happy.

[kuridee.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I think the last one I played was like four...oh, those were the days. I think they just remade them and just changed the mini-games a little. Those were the best parts...

[moonphased.livejournal.com]

WiiiiiiiIZiiiIii!

Oo, that is an interesting idea to try. It sounds kind of like it would end up looking like a mural ( much like your doodle looks) which is a really cool idea. One of my friends often draws and paints like that and the way colors and shapes can just blend together into a single drawing can look really stunning!! Looking forward to seeing you try that! ;)

For the Wii I also suggest Okami (one of my favorite games like EVER!), Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Epic Mickey. Or! My silly and pathetic fangirl also reminds me to say there's HTTYD and Tangled games, too. ^^

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

It would be very mural-like. I can probably mix color inks with black and white ones, see what it results into! :D

[brendala.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I love collages full of randomness. And I'm glad to hear you had a great Christmas.

As for Wii recommendations...Epic Mickey is a MUST! It's a total love letter to animation history geeks.
Also, if you have Netflix in Canada, you should sign up for it and download the Netflix channel to your Wii console. They've got a TON of great stuff available for streaming!

[engelen.livejournal.com]

ok so I'm catching up with you... I hope Link gets the job!! :D
(if he already got it/got rejected, I'm sorry I'm late, but I'll be commenting on your entries as I read them D: )
