My Mother is Going to Kill Me.... And Other Stuff
I didn't look for a job today. LMAO. But my rediscovered love for teh vidya has overtaken my life again. I'm currently playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. To me, this was the hardest Zelda game I ever played on a non-portable console. orz, who in the fuck said it was a short game? Each dungeon take me at LEAST 4 hours to complete (and my god, the untold amount of hours in the Snowpeake Ruins makes me cry and wish for the frustrating Majora's Mask back). I already spent 40 hours so far and about to tackle the Temple of Time which is eight fucking floors, christ.....
And that in turn, really made me forget scanlating those Reborn doujins. It looks like it won't get done before June comes (I'm slow. ;_;). Hopefully, between the vidya, job hunting and this, I can get this done before Mukuro's birthday, which I wanted to do something since he's my favorite Reborn character (there were these super cute Kondoru shorts in Comic Box Junior I wanted to do and maybe I could bang out a not-so-shitty fanart on top of that, but I know I have the time (nor patience) to CG it. orz orz orz. Then hopefully, when I go the Salvation Army tomorrow, I can get that flatbed scanner (which I hope it works okay, or at least better than my super ancient one) and work on that 8059 doujin for the batch and that 1880 and 5927 doujins for mid-June (because I am gonna take a couple of weeks break because I will be a mess, but I'm gonna recruit help for those. I can't do this shit myself anymore. Ugh.
But lately, I also decided to stop dilly-dallying and actually study for the fucking GRE for grad school. I abhor studying, and I mean "abhor" in the strongest sense of the word. I hate that part of college that it was kinda required to do that (high school, I rarely studied and was an honor student). And I need to draw.
But I feel kinda peculiar about drawing when I about to, like something holding me back. It's pretty odd and it has affected me for like 4 years now. So, I decided to declare a full out war on that shitty feeling and improve my art where it has been suffering for the last few years. Meaning, I need to retake an anatomy class, so this summer I'm gonna find a School of Visual Art class to retrain myself because it's sad. Really sad. So I created a new deviant art account, but I'm still using my older one, but my older one is more for original stuff and non-racy stuff, my new one is exclusively for fanart, BL and yuri (my family is very against homosexuality and stuff that about it and I don't want them to find out) and my more racy het art with the penname I hope to debut with one day, Paper Tsukino, which is quite a change from my old one, a pen name I used since I was 14-15.
;_; I'm going to cry over a magazine right now and wait for my mother to kill me. Besides, unemployment sucks. Seriously. I'm addicted to the money. Also, I really want this.... even though I already own like 13 Reborn anthologies already, brought 12 of them in the last month alone.
Poorness suck shit.
Also, I'm planning to sell some of my doujin collection, a couple of Full Metal Alchemist, a couple of Reborn, three of D.Gray-man, and one Pirates of the Caribbean (which was a gag gift from my ex-boyfriend which I really don't want anymore since I don't slash that movie series at all). Check a future entry. Also, can suggest a good shipping company for international orders? I was planning to US Postal Service for within the States (and they rose in price too! It's 4.80 now for Priority Mail...), but the international shipping cost like $10.50, which is a ltoo steep to be honest... If someone can help me with this, it would be very, very helpful.
I need to get rid of it because I have no space in my secret spot in my room and I'm planning to sent aside some money for summer doujins, especially if someone managed to get any Nabari no Ou doujins this upcoming Comiket (and hopefully I will have a job by then).
Also, I started to watch this year's So You Think You Can Dance, which is 1000000000x better than American Idol, but so ignored and I worry that they might not renew it next season because it is my favorite reality show and one of the very few that I really like. Maybe because I used to be dancer in back my elementary and junior high days. I usually watch it with my grandma and have a ball. LOL. Can't wait for tonight's episode.
So, before I go, lat week, I went to the season finale taping of Inside the Actor's Studio (which is why I love being a New Yorker) with Mike Myers (as many of you may know as Austin Powers or Shrek). He was fucking hilarious although the taping was soooooooooooo long, 4 HOURS, holy fuck. I would be sad if the interaction he had with an audience member throughout the entire taping (who was sitting right behind me) got edited out because it was so funny and cute. He did the Austin Powers voices and talked about his new movie, the Love Guru, which I'm SO going to see (I was anyway because I'm a fan of his movies anyway). I love my close friend for like forever because of this, it worth skipping out of laundry that day. I still have the ticket stub so I can bother fighting with my old scanner to scan for everyone now. Maybe after I get that scanner.
Please let that scanner be there. Please, God.
Also, Coldplay's newest single, Viva la Vida, has been on constant play on my iPod since I saw the commerical the other day (and yes, I usually buy the song I see on a iPod commerical. I'm a slave to viral ad marketing... ಭ_ಭ). I want to draw a pic to it, but I can't find the right motif to it...
