What's the name of that toasted bread-type Asian snack with the yummy paste in the middle? I think there's a similar cartoon character that angelthorn showed me once. The Korean store near my work is selling them 3 for a pound, and I may be growing addicted...

I am going to staff this event from Wednesday! AND I have been allowed to go in COSTUME!!! :D Unfortunately the best events aren't free even to staff, so am paying for things like the premieres and the all-nighter.

( I also have a non-fannish reason to go this time )

Edit, 2 days later: ANIME ALL NIGHTER IS FREE. And my friend Donna is coming with me. OMIGOD OMIGOD SOOOOOOO EXCITED \o/

( this week: pros and cons )

God, I need so much more practice with this animation thing than I have time for. I don't know how to script this, much less do a storyboard. My framing is bollocks, the timing is 3 frames a second, viewers can't tell which character is which, and I have an overwhelming urge to junk my whole life and watch my new Gilmore Girls Season 2 box set.

That being said, the "emblems" conversation is done. Now I only have to get Marco Polo and Kublai Khan to play Marco Polo through badly lit pictures of my paintings. Calvino would have stabbed me in the eye with his pen.

Oscars last night. Watching the Oscars is like eating candy floss--lots of fun, but by the time you get to the end you're sick of it. Also, I wonder if the Academy only watch ten movies every year. Jon Stuart was brilliant though.

Made the puppet heads for the Invisible Cities project! Posting a few of my favourites:

Hmm, I wonder if I could make icons out of a couple of these...

Better today, enough to bake some work in Sculpey for Illustration and write 300 words of thesis. Not much, considering I should have been well three days ago. But every time I felt well enough to go to school, I always came back home with a fever. I've lost an entire bloody week of work, not counting housework and normal errands &c. Still, slept most of today and actually felt like eating something besides crackers, oatmeal and tea.

Apparently I'm not alone--every time I went to school there was someone blowing their nose, or coughing, or hoarse, or not in school at all. Nobody's having a very good winter. Some classmates and I agreed that we wished we could just spend the entire term in the bathtub.

Will be more cheerful and productive soon, promise. In fact I managed to get some character designs down for a cathartic comic I'd discussed with bex_x3d the other day. Scans to follow.

Saw Dena outside Camden Town Tube station tonight--stroke of luck! She invited me to Synthetic Culture next week. Yay for Goth gathering and Jamaican chicken ♥

Invisible Cities project is a go (good grief that sounds so silly, but I'm too sleepy to think of anything better). Scans to follow over the term.

I am doing Senior Thesis this term. *gasp, flail, panic* Eeee, I can FINALLY get membership to the British Library!!!

Just redid the private projects and school projects pages for my website. They now have navigation bars, although those are in a state as I had a devil of a time putting them in; Dreamweaver doesn't seem to want to move them around. Bloody complicated program; I should just go back to coding it by hand.

In other news, besides showing Swan Lake, this November Sadler's Wells will be hosting....the Edward Scissorhands Ballet.

Ack, November looks so interesting I'll barely have any time for school.

My Illustration teacher let me use Companions as a main project!!! No more sneaking around, yess. My Animation teacher however says I need to "get my skates on" as term is already half over. He's the one I most want to impress, so I will.

Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

omg companions in COLOR! as an actual COMIC! omgomgomg.
