Vacation's over. Here's you chain and your desk...

So, this weekend was very quiet for me. Instead of drawing for 12 hours ike I usually do, I got company. [livejournal.com profile] dqbunny  and [livejournal.com profile] earthstar_moon traveled several hours to visit me, which allowed me to take a good break. I still finished getting ready for the Geekfest (which happens next weekend, ont he 5th of March) and I finished my Namesake pages, so it wasn't a fully free weekend. But I didn't do any Jabberwocky. Which means that starting tonight, I have no social existence to speak of until I darkened 25 pages in ink. I've got five done, currently. 20 to go. Could be worse! I honestly needed the break. It was a good weekend. We plotted for Namesake, watched Megamind, went to chinatown, got good food and maple pastries... It was a relaxing and tasty weekend.

But not I need to go back to being an overworked hermit. It's a little sad, but that's what artist needs to do, amiright?

I checked out the Oscar winners yesterday. I'm disapointed. Oscars are so political. They have always been, but at least before, some of the judges would have a little integrity and at least include a few less-known or independant films. Nowadays, it feels like they don't even try to hide the political aspect anymore. Oh well. Don't get me wrong, I love some of the winners myself, but it really feels like the whole thing lacks diversity and variety. Who wants to watch an almost 4 hour long show and see the same actors and movies come back all the time? The song performance we're pretty. I enjoyed that. I'm sad that neither Tangled nor Summer Wars got included in the animation section. Boo.

At least the Oscar fottage totally fueled my current obsession for Anne Hathaway. No, I don't know why i'm all about that actress right now. It's a little weird, but i'm just going to live up to my weirdness.

Oh well. Time for work!

Before I go, fest your eyes on this gorgeous Namesake fanart by Ripaille, who's coloring skills clearly exceed mine. I wish I could steal her coloring talent.



My apartment is going to feel so quiet tonight... O_O

Glad you had a good time with everyone! And the small break was probably good for you in the long run. A way to recharge the batteries.

Love the fanart! Are you going to post it on the community? If you have already, you can disregard this comment!

And I adore Anne Hathaway! I have since The Princess Diaries! I like the book series it's based off of as well. I'm a big fan of author Meg Cabot.

I'm not a huge fan of the movies, but I did love the books. For a while, I considered Hathaway as a good actress who manages to make some bad movies tolerable (like Ella Echanted. URGH)

Yeah, I like the book series better. I have the entire series, so I must like it! LOL!

I don't think I've seen Ella Enchanted. I might have caught glimpses of it on TV once or twice, but I never saw the entire movie.

ETA: Oh, and wish Linkage a happy birthday for me!!

it's the catwoman syndrom!

Because Hathaway is suppose to play catwoman soon? :D I actually think she'll do a good job.

I dunno about Anne Hathaway, because I'm seriously girl-crushing on Natalie Portman right now. *______*

I haven't seen Black Swan yet, so I do not share the crushdom :(

I haven't yet, either, but considering how much acclaim it earned...:O

Hey, you've got fanart! There's a mark of success.
