Vacation Preperations

Currently Listening to: 鳥の詩 by Lia

So the last couple of days have eaten away at my time in front of my blog, and all the craziness that goes along with it. And I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of the Special Edition Eclipse, and I have to say, the first chapter of Breaking Dawn is great! :3 I can't wait 'til August. Speaking of which, the local Borders is gonna have a midnight party for the release. Oh, I am so there!

I also got my hands on a couple of other things, including an art book for Fullmetal Alchemist, and I have to say Hiromu Arakawa is a goddess with a paintbrush! One of her pictures of Ed and Al actually made me stop and gawk and the impressive brush work and detail. The amount of control it takes to be able to do the outlining with a very thin brush, that would reveal a jittery hand in an instant, is just mind blowing! I actually thought she'd colored it with prismas, the shadowing and highlights was so smooth! Seriously, I want to try acrylics myself now. It's also neat to see the character design sheets for the FMA video game (I love this kinda stuff). Definitely worth the $20. I mean when my dad (who frankly doesn't really like the anime style) is impressed, something like this, it's just- wow!

Well it's almost 12 here (the blog post time doesn't match, apparently) so I need to get to sleep.

But before I go (put your headphones in kiddies, this isn't appropriate for the parents):



Yes,
I know how it's wrong
I know why it's wrong
but for some reason, I can't stop laughing!
