June the 12th: It was supposed to get up to 100 today...
but I don't think it did. True we turned on the AC but I was dealing fine before that. I find it immensely amusing that for 8 months of the year I'm in an area that gets moderate snow/ice/cold temperatures and then I spend the summer months in the very humid and hot rest of the South. At least I shall achieve my dream of being able to adapt to a wide variety of weather.
Other than that, today was quiet, even more so since Sam and I went to our dad's last night instead of the usual Saturday (also meant that I had to find Doctor Who online to watch, my dad did offer to tape it but I want to do something other than watch TV at his house. A shame too, this was a pretty good episode as well). Grabbed volume 8 of Emma (initially I was confused since the story ended in volume 7, a quick check online showed that 8-10 were just short stories) and volume 1 of Monster. Love to read more of that, actually, I liked Pluto tons so I think I just need to read more Urasawa. And no progress on any of my holds at the library which is bad for almost all of them. At least one, possibly two of them are on order which isn't bad, just a touch annoying. But the other two, one I'm first in line for and the other I'm third in line for. Been like that for two or three weeks now and I'm really puzzled, when I worked at the library last summer we'd get a list of books each morning that were holds and would search for them. If we didn't find it (which was unusual, unless it was a CD) we'd search a few more days and then have to put the book down as lost (and if the book is found it can be taken off of lost status, I remember once someone brought in really overdue books and that's what happened there, the computer does it automatically). So, the point it, the books should've been either found or my hold taken off for the books being lost by now, tempted to make a trip out to the various libraries and enlist a librarian there.
Not much else, mom and Ted watched Dead Man Walking which was a movie my religion teacher tried to get everyone to watch my junior year. This was the time where "if even one person in the class says no we won't watch it" thing happened, and guess what I did? I learned my lesson from the Holocaust video back my Freshman year, just because y'all can handle it doesn't mean a thing about what I can do. So I said no, told her as she handed the forms out, I may have said "what part of 'no' don't you guys get?" at my classmates in my art class afterward (they just wanted an easy few classes with a movie they could sleep through) and my teacher did have to change her mind and let me go to the library instead. I just remember it that clearly because I said no and the people around me knew I meant no. It's something you see so rarely in fiction, a character going "no, I don't feel comfortable and will do everything I need to to prove this point," and my mom was saying after she saw the movie that she thinks it was a good thing I didn't see the movie. Good movie, not good for my psyche. Maybe I'll be able to in a few years, maybe in a long time, or maybe not at all, and I'm fine with that. I don't mind saying no and having to prove it.
Final note, started sketching out the Nanomango, really sketcy and why did I decided to create a new mode of transportation?!? XD Just wish I'd gotten the hang of google sketch-up (only tried once though so it's more accurate to say that I wish I had the patience) to model it, maybe I'll get around to that before inking so it looks better. Been hearing thunder for a bit so the laptop is unplugged and I'm going to sign off soon, night!
