Happy Bday
Cjvixen.
Tonight we went to The Black Rose Irish Pub and watched Craic Wisely again. About 5:30 I headed out to pick up Taki in Lansing and got to the pub at 8:45. Taki had reserved a table along the side of the band (as opposed to the opposite side of the building like last time). Oh, well.
The band was good, and made up new DAVE signs to cheer with again. (Last time I printed them out. This time I drew them there with a pen and a mini-sharpie marker.) I gave DAVE an MP3 of Corsairs, Jolly Rogers and the Beach Boys "Sloop John B" to see if they might be able to play with that a little bit. ^.^
Eventually we had to come home. The drive to Muskegon was fun. We just passed the M104 exit off 96 and it was white-out conditions. You see, when we got into the pub it was cold, but dry. When we got out it was COLD (like, maybe 10 degrees?) and blowing hard. Snow dust was dry, and so were the roads, but the white-outs were a bit tough. Anyways, as we passed M104, it became REALLY white-out and that was fun. *L* Got Taki to the Munster's and I drove home safe and sound.
<--While I was at the Black Rose I came up with this sketch:
It's characters from the "Temple of Divinity" on Tapestries.
It's sort of a Stained Glass version of scenes/characters from the Temple's Library/Scribes.
I'm thinking that my next move might be to get the geometrical parts done in Illustrator, then print them off at 3% cyan and ink it up. Then we'll see where it goes.
Also, I've been updating my secret links on my site, but if you want to see new stuff too, I have a FA account that I've been updating pretty regularly with my finished works.
*sigh* I REALLY have to get to work on those commissions! GAH! I have the lion/lion/snowcat pic penciled. I get some more info on it, I'll do another sketch, and then it's inking time!
Oh, and Wes showed this to me... It's not PC, but it's funny! *L* (no, don't worry, there's no swear-words!)
Ceann's "The Worst Pirate Song"
http://www.difm.net/cnc/audio/worstpirate.mp3 http://www.ceannmusic.com [VERSE 1]
If you're a pirate
I don't believe it
I don't believe that you are capable of such deeds
If you're a pirate
Let's see your wallet
And we will see if you are liscenced for the seas
Are you capable of storming from the riggin's of the ship
Or wearing a black dew-rag when it really ain't that hip
I don't think so
I don't think so at all
[Chorus]
So where's your eye patch
Where's your peg leg
If you're a pirate
Where's your gun
Where's your booty
Your sassy parrot
I can't picture you on a bottle of cheap rum
Cuz you're the worst pirate
The worst pirate in the world
You'e the worst pirate
Th' worst pirate in the world
'Cuz you're a girl
(Heave ho!)
(Heave ho!)
[VERSE 2]
So all you females
Just put your swords down
I'm not a fool
I'm not amused
You've got no hook hand
No secret eye lid
And pirates never go to the bathroom in twos
So if this isn't some sort of cheap prank
(arrrr)
Then tell who exactly what's your plank
Not me
Not me
No Nay Never Not me
[Chorus]
So where's your eye patch
Where's your peg leg
If you're a pirate
Where's your gun
Where's your booty
Your sassy parrot
I can't picture you on a bottle of cheap rum
Cuz you're the worst pirate
The worst pirate in the world
You'e the worst pirate
Th' worst pirate in the world
'Cuz you're a girl
[VERSE 3]
A pirate vessel
Is not a bedroom
No walk-in closets
There's no bidet
There's no pink loomfas
Hangin' in the showers
And pirates don't worry about what shoes they wear today
Cuz everyone knows that pirates just wear black
(no they don't!)
They raise a flag of skull and bones when they attack
Not birds and flowers
Not birds and flowers
No way
[Chorus]
So where's your eye patch
Where's your peg leg
If you're a pirate where the hell's your gun?
Where's your booty
Your sassy parrot
By sassy parrot I don't mean your bitchy friend
So, it's 9:00am now. I don't know WHY I haven't slept yet. I was hoping we might do Taki's Eldesta game today, but we'd have to get Phil, Scott and Wes available on no-notice. Oh, well. Maybe I'll nap a few hours and try to takcle this artwork that's due!
Until next time!
