This past Wednesday, THIS happened.
Ah sorry for sloppy writing, I drew this after a math final.

Naked Guy
For the past few months I've been drawing naked people once a week. It was weird at first...but then it gets kind of normal.
Most weeks we draw in charcoal which is messy, hard to work with, and just plain horrible. But for the past two weeks of class, we were allowed to bring in whatever medium we wanted. I chose digital myself, and brought in my laptop and tablet.
I've never tried to draw from life on it before, so it was a new experience. Towards the end I think I got pretty okay at it, with the exception of the "hairy" line work that my teacher said I need to get rid of.

All jokes about the angle aside, I'm kind of proud of this. It shows that I made improvement, which hopefully can only continue.
Now I wonder what kinds of people will find this post based on the tags and title...hmmmmmm...

Bus Snobs
(In case you can't read it...)
Kent: "The behavior of our classmates is rahther abhorable."
Kayla: "mm'Indeed."
Also, 'abhorable' is a funny word which spellcheck doesn't seem to like. But it's still a real word...right?

Blogs I been lovin'
Miso Happy: A pretty popular doodle blog on tumblr. This is actually one of the blogs that inspired me to start using my tablet again. And guess what? This girl studied my major and lived in Seattle like I do!! (Until she moved a while ago...) I totally want to be her best friend and doodle together and make cute things and be all Seattley and graphic designy. * _ *
Little Miss Paintbrush: Another cute doodle blog! I mean just look at her layout, it pretty much sums everything up as soon as you open her page. Plus I love the sense of humor as well.
Cute in Korea: This blog is just starting out, but what's already there is great. Elle is a foreigner living in korea, it's interesting to hear about korean things from her point of view. (My favorite is the food posts eh heh heh...)
"Huffmans'" flickr: Not a blog...that makes my title a lie...But I absolutely adore this girl's photos! It's no secret that I have a Disneyland obsession, and since I can't afford to go anytime soon, I spend a good amount of time online pretending I'm there.
When I get tired of the standard park photos that everyone takes, I look for something a little more fantasy-ish and artsy. That's exactly what huffmans' photos are, beautiful, surreal photos that make the most magical place in the world look even MORE magical. Here's some of my favorites.
So that's how I've been spending my free time lately, looking at these blogs (and photos) for hours on end. :)

Burnt Marshmallow Brain
I've been so busy lately. Well, life has been busy ever since I started school, but the last few weeks have been especially extra super busy!!!!
From eight hours on math homework, to the endless pile of english papers. Let alone the day that I spent ten hours working on my calendar design nonstop. My most recent horror story involves a research paper with very specific source qualifications. No general internet sources, no magazine derived articles, and no newspaper articles. Only books or scholarly journals. -_-
After several hours of yelling at my computer screen and 3 topic changes, I still had nothing. In the end I wrote a horrible, piece of crap paper just so I could turn in something this morning. Something is better than nothing, right?
This is my self portrait; Monday edition. I stumbled around all day in a haze, just wishing I was home. On the bright side, the hardest day of my week is over!

Lets go live in a hole
"...and survive on instant ramen. It'll be great, we can wear loincloths and never bathe."
This is my solution to life's problems.

Snowmageddon 2012
Just a few weeks ago, the weather decided it was time for us to have another snowmageddon! Our first was a few years back, and I guess we were over-due for another exciting round of power outages, closed streets, car accidents, and school closures.
It wasn't bad downtown, where I live, but everywhere else seemed to have a foot or more of snow. My mom was snowed in for about four days!
When I'm back home-home, I hate snow! Mostly because it keeps me from going anywhere, and I get stuck inside without power. But here in my new home, I LOVED it! I could stick walk/bus wherever I wanted, and it was beautiful seeing snow in a new environment.
