Reading "Hark! A Vagrant" and this awesome bunch made me reread The Great Gatsby, which I've just finished. I love and hate that book all at once. On the one hand, it's beautifully written and expresses its characters and weaves in its metaphors so well, and on the other, the characters are absolute jerks and are so emotionally driven and frivolous it ticks me off...though I'm led to believe that's half the point. Beaton sums it up quite nicely! ...Nick and Gatsby should've gotten together instead or something. 8I;;;; Aaaaanyway.

Have a cloud of quickies and an indecipherable cloud of words describing each )

So I did requests (KABLAM-O!!! color warning) )

.....This was a whole lot cooler 3:00AM in the morning 8|;;; I...I'm considering fixing it up.
EDIT: FIXED! Somewhat. I could fix it more, but, really? :/a Nah.

First Livestream done!
To watch: Go here.

You'll probably want to skip around since the beginning is mostly nonsense and boring stuff. It isn't until Ria and Pompi forced me to do the background that I actually really started working. ;v;

To all who came, thank you! I feel vindicated by your existence. 8D
EDIT: Current progress shot and also dumb sprite continued )

So I tried working on them prints.

I didn't get very far )

YARP THASSIT.

So I finished the WIP since I hadn't closed SAI when I posted it earlier last night.

And I'm more prone to finishing things in one go than not )

hey guys

It was [livejournal.com profile] talc2's birthday over a week ago (oops), SO I DREW HER CHARACTER ANYO TO MAKE UP FOR IT. ;~;
why is it always barney colors )

I love how the my weighted total online for math is 12.60%, but luckily, as I found out, it's inaccurate. WHEW. Almost gave me a heartattack! I D-ed the final by strict grading standards, but apparently it counts as a B, so I now have a high B in the class! I DID IT. X_X;;; ...OH SHIZ I'M GOING INTO ENGINEERING FFFFFFFFFF *goes for the noose*

I...also joined dA-Fantasia because [livejournal.com profile] animetor_lily invited me to join her foodie group. XDD At first I was like, eeeeh, and then I had the idea of a sheep old-ish guy, so I went ahead and accepted. And I RP'ed. It feels really weird RP-ing again, and it's difficult getting into character for a character I've just made, but. Hahaha, it's really light-hearted RP-ing, so it's fun. :> There's people I don't know, but they're really nice, so...I think I can deal with it! ....I'm too chicken to enter the official chatrooms, hahaha. OTL;

Forward and on, forward and on
Indulge me as we embark on
This potentially fruitless endeavor
With ardor and vigor
As though both were limitless
Though they may not in fact be
That is, they are indeed
But entertain this fancy,
Join me forward and onward
To nothingness,
To somethingness,
To onwardness

UGH.

So today was Mother's Day, it was bro's birthday yesterday, I'm still drained from my last two finals, I have the deathliest finals tomorrow, so I'll be stuck on campus pretty late testing my life away, I'm pretty sure I'm screwed

ugh

UGHHH.

I'm doing my best to study, but I'm stressed enough that my desire to draw is pushing at my seams and just being a rude jerk in general. Man, give my studying drive some space, drawing drive. Can't you just hold out FOR A DAY. asjkahlaakfhalkjrgh;

Venting because I REALLY don't want to study, but I REALLY need to. This moaning and groaning'll be over tomorrow, and then hopefully I can draw stuff before the storm that is my awful summer rears its ugly head.

....You'll probably either hear about my wisdom teeth, my driving test, or summer school registration next. Just a heads up, guys. My life is not exciting, but I like to pretend it is. You know how it is.




:|

Hope you guys were cool to your moms today.

bleeehhh

Two finals down and I thiiiiink I have an A or A- in both of them. I forget how they weighed the different parts, so I can't say for sure, but I've been getting mostly 90's and above and got A-'s on both finals, so. Yeah.

The two hardest finals are coming up though. :S And I ain't prepared. At all.

It's been pretty high-stress lately so have some badly composed art:
Read more... )

I still have a hellish summer to look forward to, oh boy.
keyk: (omg)
Can you guess my favorite characters? )

Betcha can't! But if you can name 'em all, I owe you a fancy drawing or something or other. After finals. (aaaaa) And only the first person, of course!

Feel free to guess more than once, take other people's answers, etc.!

Anyone's welcome to take a gander!

So there was this old meme where you draw pics for each story and then write a synopsis. So. Like. That last post? HEY WHY NOT POST SOME SYNOPSES AND UNOFFICIALLY PAIR THE POSTS TOGETHER DERP.

Super busy and apparently wasting time is a good plan somehow TL;DR )
keyk: (Default)
It looks my stories can be divided as follows:

Baptism of the Lost (most over dramatic title ever, formerly Shards of Glass): Medieval civilization, Shakespeare (DON'T LAUGH 8I)

Centrifugal Force: Science and psychology

False Cycle (formerly Winter Before Spring): Modern, postmodern literature/ war literature

Imagination Fall: Modern philosophy, some modern, postmodern literature

Tried Novelties (formerly Of Yours and Mine): Engineering, math, science, economics, fairytale, gothic literature

"The Vendor and the Runaway": Early 1900s Asian civilization, fairytale literature

Some of these combinations are just nuts. Like Tried Novelties. Just thought I'd put this together once I realized that Imagination Fall was morphing into a philosophy paper in comic form. Phenomenology! Imagination or truth! What death entails! METAPHYSICS. Blah blah blah. Well, you write what you like and I guess like too much. :|a This also means I have a looot of research ahead of me.

I could go into further detail of things I'm unabashedly plugging into my stories, but since the majority of these stories aren't fully fleshed out and are just skeleton frames atm, I probably shouldn't. Like BotL (lulz, BOTTLE--yes I chose that title partly for its acronym). You would laugh if I told you that I pulled stuff from the American government's structure and...well, I used it somewhere you probably wouldn't think to see it used. I THINK OUR GOVERNMENT SYSTEM IS KINDA COOL OK.

And then my notes on my planned project itinerary! )
keyk: (Okay.)
So funny story. I brought my laptop to school for the first time to review my programs for my CS midterm. Now, my programs are stored on the UNIX server, so I had to use the internet to access them. Apparently my school's internet is a butt to people first coming in, so I wasn't able to get in until AFTER my midterm.

And the midterm itself? I'm so indifferent I can't even explain. I think I did well, but we all know how that phrase tends to backfire on us. I still have a hard time caring though.

While we were dillydallying after philosophy class (which is a pretty awesome class, I have to admit. I really like philosophy!) my friend wanted to draw. And since I had brought my laptop with me, I thought, what the hey! Why not!

It's the first time I've drawn with a mouse in several years. It's extremely simplistic in part because I had a mouse and in part because my friend wanted to see how I color, so I did the line art as quickly as I could. Even though I don't really know how to use SAI...especially to make awesome colors. I don't get how others do it. :| The pic's unfinished, if we're comparing it with my vision, but I'm totally fine with it this way.

Letting go )
keyk: (Okay.)
Oh, my CS and calc II midterm aren't on the same day anymore, yaay!

Grade issues still exist though, haha.

Pianos seem to be the music of choice for the majority of my stories. Listening to pianos helps set the tone of ideas and helps them flow a bit better. Too bad my tablet decided to jack up today, haha. I have a lot of introspective characters, and pianos just fit? Even if one of them plays the violin--but that, too, works I suppose...generally the less weeping violin music. Something like "Humoresque."

I've no skill in composing, but I'd like to do it. Keep doing it, I guess, is the appropriate phrase. I'd like to learn how to play the piano well and play the melodies in my head, but I have no coordination. My coordination in violin is still heavily flawed and purely muscle memory--no talent. I'd like to learn the piano still. I hammer on the keys every once in a while and concoct a cacophony of sparse accidentals and random major chords and C major scales up and down--generally unexciting, but fun, for me.

I also picked up some awesome books in the school bookstore! H.G. Wells' The Time Machine and a collection of Ambrose Bierce's Civil War writings--all for $4.39! That's already too much to spend for me. But they had so many other books I've been wanting to read: A Midsummer Night's Dream, Turn of the Screw (even though it's horror, eeh, kinda?), The Red Badge of Courage (THIS), and so much more. *__* I had no idea such a lovely and affordable collection of books existed right there!

Since I can't really draw much at the moment (wrung dry of ideas for now), I've been reading my stress away. And it's pretty awesome, haha.

If anyone has any piano pieces (or any other piece really) they love, please, share! I'm always eager to listen to more. :)
keyk: (omg)
Layout update! As much as I love Robert Frost, it was time to let his poem go. :(
Now we have a fun word with a cute first syllable. Yeah.

I really wanted to make a random header image (the images are simple enough that it wouldn't over-energize the page), but I am not well versed at all in the ways of css and php and what-have-yous.

Oh, and guess what! I got rid of the banner ads also meaning I have less userpics to EXPRESS MYSELF, but dude, I can so deal with that. *cue withdrawal symptoms*

Red isn't really my color, but I love the simplicity of the layout, and it felt wrong to let go of the red. It gives it some pizazz, I guess, whatever that is.

Hahaha, Houshin Engi's anime is so bad, but the hilarious dub makes up for it. Oh gosh.
Clazziquai is an awesome group. The vocals. The instrumentation. Eeeee! ♥ Be still my heart!

Got this from Ruina:

Katamarify any webpage!

I put so much effort into this. )
Well, its birthday is technically the 19th, but whatever. Deal. I'm going to be busy doing work then so.
Rush draw of every character that's appeared so far. Yep.

You prolly don't want to listen to my rants about the news, but they're out in cyberspace somewhere and accessible if you really care that much about my two cents.
