Bendin' in the wind

Well, lots of stuff happened this week. I've been pretty offline thanks to my job so I didn't post much. Over the course of the weekend, I saw family which was awesome. I also saw my friends Fauve, Melissa and Fauve's fiancé as well as my friend the Other Isa. I managed to start my spring cleaning, which feels really good. I,m even going thru my boxes of drawings to put them away in my brand new filing cabinet. My parents gave me a filing cabinet for my birthday. It's not my birthday yet, but they gave it to me in advance for practical reasons. They also got me a bike O_O I haven't had a bike in 7 years!! They were really generous this year. And I love my bike so much. I went biking this morning just for kicks. hehehe.

I also saw two movies this weekend - Dragonball Evolution and Milk. Milk was an excellent movie about the life and times of a gay right's activist in the 70's. Dragonball was... Well, we pretty much just went to see it for the LOL factor. I have to admit though, for the first 30 minutes, I had hope. The first 30 minutes aren't bad. The guy in the movie is certainly not Goku, but he's fun enough to be accepted as a new character. Then, for the 20 minutes after that, the hope starts to disapear but you think that maybe, just maybe, they might be able to bring it back. And then, forget it. Past the first 50 minutes, this movie turns into a giant LAME martial moves and LAME CGI feature. THOSE AREN'T EVEN REAL MOVES!!! AND OH GOD SHENRON? WHY? Giant plot holes towards the end. Giant. 

Oh well.

Speaking of martial arts move, I think I like Avatar: the last airbender. The characters are fun, the animation is pretty good for a tv series and I like how the "bending" (aka elemental magic) is based on real martial art stylings. My dad kinda likes it too. He likes animatyion and he used to be in several martial arts, so he knows his mojo. However, my only bad thing about Avatar is that it shows that it's a kid's show. I mean, seeing the gang escape fire nation prisons and fire nation armies kinda reminds me of the smurfs evading Gargamel. It seems a little easy. Oh well. I really wonder why this show is second to Harry Potter for the "Crazy insane internet fandom circles" Awards. It's a good show but man... Tone down the crazy.

Final note - happy birthday Johanne! (I now it's tomorrow, but I gotta work so I drew it tonight.). It's Johanne and Stu, Steampunk style!

Glad you're enjoying Avatar, and I've totally done that in my living room.





It's my birthday too...

*laughs*... I know it's yours too. I didn't manage to finish both drawings. Let's just say the characters in yours weren't very responsive! *pokes them with pencil* So yours comes up tomorrow XD
