And people wonder why easter and halloween are my favorite fake holidays. I can take in a lot of sugar. And I love it. really, it's a miracle I still have teeth. Oh Cadbury, you're magically delicious.



Work: In other news, work sucks this week. It's my week to do the events, so all my evenings are pretty much spent wearing a suit among various business people when I would rather be home in front of the tv or drawing. Or well, part of the job. If anything, this will allow me to accumulate "on the job" hours so that may take days off later.

Anime North: I discovered (and all you cats planning to go to anime north this year should check this too) that the long may break (aka Victoria day) is NOT on the same weekend as Anime North, as it usually is. I've asked my boss if I could take days off on that day and it's like pulling teeth! I get vacation days, so i'm allowed, but she doesn't want me to take them where I want to. Even though i'm asking a month in advance. This is the second time I propose to her a vacation date and she's not willing to let me take it, though she keeps asking me to give her a date so that she may incorporate it in the planning. My boss is weird.

Random: Aside from that, friends and myself are planning to go poke fun at Dragonball : the EPIC movie this friday, as it is the premiere. Prepare the LOL.

I caved and bought the first season of avatar: the last airbender. Oh, Nickelodeon, for 60$, I hope you do not deceive.

I,m also trying to draw batman villains right now. I love batman villains. He has the BEST villains. I'm trying to transform Bruce Timm's beloved designs (from the 90's Batman : the animated series) into The Dark Knight Versions of themselves. Okay, scarecrow and Joker and Two-face are done, but I really, really want to design Dark Knight Harley quinn and Poison Ivy. I'll let you guys see how this turns out.



Only reference picture of all the baddies I could find. And it's TINY!! I have larger references for their faces.

Fake holiday in the sense that we don't really get days off, even though it's on the holiday calendar list. I guess they expect people to ask for days off on those days more then others...

I should send you some kinders, one day.

Ohhh, jelly beans. I love those XD

Wow, they make you guys work Easter up in Canada? I've always had it off. It's a pretty important religious holiday for many (myself included) and only the third holiday where family gathers for a large dinner. We always have scalloped potatoes for Easter... Ooh, man, I definitely need to get home in time for Easter! We did have one year where the baker thought it would be a good idea to be open on Easter, but my boss and the rest of us quickly shot him down. There are just some holidays where people don't go out to spend their money.

But, I do like working on Halloween. At least in places that encourage families to Trick-or-Treat in the area, it's fun to see everyone and to give out candy. Plus, working in places that allow employees to also dress up is another plus. :D

Kinder Eggs! I do have a weakness for those! I guess I did buy quite a few when I was in Toronto, didn't I? It was so hard bringing them home and giving them away to family and friends.. I love that chocolate. ^_^; (Sometimes Uwajimaya imports them from Canada. I hope they do again in the future. I'm still irked they got banned here in the U.S.!)

On the jellybean front, if you ever see large jellybeans - get them! They are amazing! XD
