Amazon is a frikkin' gold-mine!
Yet another update, four in less than two days! =O INSANITY!
Not that anyone read these anyway.
Ordered five books from Amazon today. They were: "The figure in motion: A visual reference for artists", "The Nude Figure: A Visual Reference for the Author", "Disney How to Draw", "How to Draw Disney's Mulan" and "How to Draw Disney's Lion King"... I know I don't really need How To's, but I love the artwork of both those movies and the reference books are SOURLY needed. SOURLY I TELL YOU!
Other than that, nothing much happened to day... with the exception of my class of kids noticing how I was falling asleep(I WAS JUST RESTING MY EYES DAMNIT! XD) during class... We had this cool guy from a national chess-contest come around and teach the young'uns about chess(and they all more or less already knew how to play, and gave me a tough time indeed). Being the kind of person who can fall asleep on a crashing airplane I used this wonderful opportunity to, as I said, rest my eyes a bit...
Well, that was a mistake. Some of the girls saw me and soon the whole group was giggling... now that was embarassing... o_o;;
Other than that, the day proceeded nicely. We had gym-class before lunch and it doesn't help how many times I see these wonder-kids at work, they're still insanely impressive as they work neatly as a team, carrying out the stuff needed faster than frikkin' commandos!
They were doing something called The Eye(*spooky music*), which was basically a game where one kid was standing on one end of the gym-hall behind a... plint(?) with a box of small pea-bags in front of him. Around the floor are several matresses, plints and other gym-stuff that serves as hiding spots for the kids who, five at a time or so, tries to reach the pea-bags, grab one and get back while not being seen by the kid serving as The Eye! The Eye, meanwhile, will, with his/her back turned to the other kids, count slowly to three and then turn around, shouting THE EYE! If he spots someone, he needs to call them by name and say where he saw them. If he's right, the kid needs to return back to the start and possibly turn back the pea-bag if he/she had already taken one.
It looked like such fun that both me and Anne, the teacher, decided to join in. Me being the kind of guy I am threw myself behind cover(The Eye was counting too damn fast in my opinion... but I guess you can't argue with authority) and skidded on the floor... burning both my elbows to bleeding-point thanks to the friction as well as landing on my keys... -_- I am SO measuring the bruise tomorrow morning.
So obviously I was caught, since my yells of pain(I didn't curse, which is quite a boastful exploit) and my legs sticking out at a weird angle kinda gave me away.
After that I took it careful, played it TEA-style(Tactical Espionage Action) and Snake'd my way to the bags... but just as I was about to grab one of the goodies, the class was over...
Damn it. Solid Snake ain't got shit on me! Last week we played Hide'n Seek in the Forest! I was NEVER found! I grew up on the country with plenty of the same kind of foresting, so I know ALL the tricks for hiding in them. I repeat, Solid Snake ain't got SHIT on me! I mean, the kids (and some grown-ups) were standing maybe five feets in front of me while about 40-50% of my body was hidding behind a tree. I first used a black jacket, which definitely added to my camo-index, but when I took it off and went frikkin' beige(both shirt and pants), they STILL couldn't find me. I had hidden in a tiny bush which had... close to the same color as my clothings and the one who was It walked right next to me without seeing me! *brag brag brag*
And if you're reading this, you know who you are, I really, really love you. Thanks for being so caring.
