Holding back time

I haven't had some time to get stuff done for a while now. I'm working on a couple of large pictures - sort of an out of africa theme I noticed, but ah well. And once they're done I want to get to my inks out and do some inkwork... Ah, so much stuff to do, so little time given to do it. Plus there's all the work I've agreed to do for other people - curse my nature, curse curse and rave. Ah well, I'll survive I'm sure. It's dog nature - She does what she's asked and dowsn't stop to think about wether she'll have time to do what she wants until later. Because she enjoys being useful. That's why, whenever I draw myself, it's as some form of canine. It seems more accurate then this ugly furless meat-monster I walk around in ^_^;

Such frivolity asside, Allow me to explain where my time went. Thursday I went to see 'Spirited Away', which was amazing and I loved it completely. So yes, I recomend it. There was then some window shopping done, where I drooled over the VP Miyu DVD's for a while ::sigh:: But I slept the night at Ledi's place and wrote up a plot breakdown of a comic she wants to do with me based around Jennes-Ys and Syntax - Sort of a Sonic The Hedgehog fan-comic, but only in that it's set in the same world and runs on similar rules. Mostly it'll be a long pun on all the stories involving Chaos Emeralds posessing limitless power, etcetera etcetera. I'm not particularly trying to be original. Of course, I don't like writing happy endings, but I also have a strong desire not to kill off Jen. I don't mind reading happy endings, but I feel cheap writing them. So - How do I save the world, replace the chaos emeralds and still keep Jen alive without making her young and mortal again? There was the suggestion of putting her in the body of a robot, which would work. Personally, I wanted her to slip back into a comatose state and be put back in the battery chamber - Nothing changes, everyone's a little more careful, etcetera. But Ledi didn't like that ending, although it does nicely traumatise Syntax. Which is one eventual end I'd like to work towards. In any case, by the friday I was too tired to write an ending so that will have to be worked on later.

After this, I had a chiropractors appointment and time to go shopping at Westlakes with my mother. I saw a really pretty purple fish - I want to draw something based on it. From here we moved on to Zoe's house, which was full of people and in pitch blackness (No air-conditioning makes the heat hell.) I was too young for most of the conversaton though - I, fortunanly, am not on arthuritus medication or anything similar. And since Zoe was teaching at that time, I got to chill and learn about the trials of the over 40's. I missed seeing my dad though. Very sad. Anyway, Zoe and her boyfriend stoped over around 9 to go swimming, which was probably the best time for it as no-one was going to get burnt. I was too cold though, so I refrained from swimming. I get cold too easily.

As you can see, the last two days were pretty much full to the brim with activity. So now I want to spend as much time as possible drawing and colouring. So I will go update my site and then do just that.

Seasons Blessings.
