Well, am home now. So got the picture of the poster here so you can judge for yourself how crappy it was. Looking back on it now... it really is crappy and I could have done a much more interesting piece. It deserved the crappy 6/10.

Anyway, the animation lecture/tutor said my storyboard was okay, just need to make minor adjustments... He's like the only lecture/tutor I have bitched about. Which kinda shows how crappy a person I've become. I do nothing but complain and bitch. >_> When did I turn into such a shallow and bitter person?! Yaoi fangirls should be concerned with NOTHING except the bishis her life revolves around! Ahhh! >_< I need to stop bitching about r/l! I don't want to be a bitch!!!

*Sigh* And now, just today when I got home, my mom says one of the monks (?) at the temple she goes to asked me to design a "dharma word + picture"... On one level, I'm flattered to get a job, even if I don't get paid for it. On another, I'm so depressed with my terrible mark atm, I wonder if I'm even qualified for it. And on the final level, the most vague design breif just hurts my head... X_x Who is my target audience??? What style does she want??? Card size??? What are the exact dimensions??? What is their budget??? I can't start without knowing I can do a 4 colour or just a 1 colour job!!! *Dies*

>____> I feel most crappy now. Had my illustration class. Got a crappy 6/10 for the poster which I got up at 5am to finish and stayed up to 1:30am doing. Most unhappy. Admittedly, it's nowhere near a decent piece of my work, but come on, I had 1 week to finish it, and it was A3. I thought it was okay. Worth more than 6/10 anyway. >_> I took a pic of it on my digital camera but that too just died... So need to take that back to work and see if I can repair it. *Sigh* So not happy. Damn 6/10, and in Illustration too. It's meant to be my best subject!!! *Hisses*

Ahhhhhhhhh! I am so pissed off!

And now I have to finish off my story board for tomorrow. *Sigh* Divinitas 2 year anniversary coming up. Haven't done anything for it. I guess I might be able to finish off the GrypsxDraco piece and pass that off as an anniversary piccy... but I really wanted to do the one of Phoenix in a fairy princess outfit. *Sigh* Maybe I should just write more of Divinitas. Get to the bloody scenes and relieve some of this... pissy-ness. >_> Phoenix so deserves what he'll be getting.

~ Caleyndar @ 6:02pm

Just finished the stupid circus poster for Illustration. >_> I hate colouring off the computer these days. Make a mistake with the colour scheme and you can't change so then you're stuck with the crappy colour... *Growls* Oh well. Anyway. Blah. I am pretty tired. Only got about 4 hours sleep last night because I was working on the poster. Will need to finish off story board for animation tonight - it's due tomorrow. -_-x

I'm still not over my obsession with HnG. This is bad. Really really bad. I mean, it's bad enough I got a wallpaper of Akira and Hikaru for my desktop, but then to think whilst staring at it, "hmmm... Akira is taller than Hikaru... Wouldn't it be cute to watch Akira bend down to kiss Hikaru? Waa! Akira is seme! ..." See? I need to get over this obsession! ;____; It is evil...

~ Caleyndar @ 11:50am

Last night was Patty's dinner party for her uni friends, so I went along after work. We had japanese food for dinner and nearly died of starvation just waiting for the food to come, but it was nice, and I think we all had a good time. Unfortunately I had to leave after dinner to come home - it's almost an hour and a half away from where I live, but the rest of them went to kareoke... *Sigh* It would have been fun, I bet. Blah. But anyway, did finish Kenshin in time, and I think Patty liked it. ^_^; You can see it here.

I still haven't started on my HW proper yet. >_> Am so bad. Procrastinate way too much. But I guess I better get on with it... *Sigh*

~ Caleyndar @ 8:59pm

Strange dream last night. Dreamed I was playing Go and was meant to be very very good at it, but was losing horribly and was crying over my loss... Well, I wonder who is obsessed. >_> I've never even played Go. It is most likely too complex for my brain to ever begin to master.

Blah. Anyway. Am CGing Kenshin atm. With any luck I will have it finished for Patty's B-day dinner. I am thinking this Kenshin reminds me a lot of Aya from Weiss Kreuz. Same coloued hair and eyes... and his weapon his a katana... and there are crosses aplenty in the drawing... Hmmmmmm... -___- Oh well.

Oh yeah, have totally cleared my d/l backlog. ^_^ My computer is actually off at home atm. First time in forever. Love my 512K connection! ... I guess though, this has something to do with the lack of new releases last week. Blah.

It was Knight-kun's B-day on the 16th... I didn't know. I am hopeless with B-days, so if you want me to do something for your B-day, you have to tell me WAY (like several MONTHS) in advance and then keep on reminding me. ^_^;;; That's the only reason Patty has a *chance* of getting her piccy of Kenshin at the dinner! Hahaha! ...

Am still sick. >_> Sorta. I *feel* better, but I'm still sneezing a lot and crap. Am watching Dear Boys atm... Catching up with past eps which have banked up. They're all so pretty to look at... And my yaoi fangirl mind can't help but squeal when they land on top of each other when they play... *Sigh* I think yaoi-fandomness is a disease...

~ Caleyndar @ 10:07am

I feel special. ^_^ Trinity-sama put up a HnG Gallery at AnimeVisions.net after I begged her. Yay! Touya Akira always looks so cool. *Sparkles* Though... >_> He needs a someone to do something about his clothes. Lavendar suit with a pink shirt and a black and orange-yellow striped tie...? Eww. I have no fashion sense, and even I can tell that's not a good combination.

Anyway, going back to uni later today. Did absolutely no uni work this weekend, so I will definately be stressing later this week. Yay! ^_^

Have almost finished sketch of Kenshin. Then just need to ink and scan and then I can start CGing... Looks like I will have to take my pen and tablet over to uni. >_> How fun. More weight to my baggage. Anyway, guess I better get back to it!

~ Caleyndar @ 8:19am

Updated Divinitas website yesterday... Scrapped all I wrote of 054 and started over. Woot. >_> Started drawing Kenshin today. His clothing makes such a big part of his character... Shoving him in something else makes him look... not like Kenshin. Hmm. Anyway, made some progress with my d/l backlog - only have 9 eps left to get before I'm clear. Been reading a lot of HnG fics. It would appear that AkiraxHikaruxWaya threesomes is very popular in this fandom... In any case, I'm enjoying myself since I can obsess over another series for a while - it's not often I like a series enough to read fanfiction for it. ^_^;

Haven't done any HW this weekend. Know I will be getting up at 5am in the mornings again to do work... Yay, something to look forward to! ... *Growls* And Patty's B-day dinner is this coming Friday. So that means Kenshin must be finished by Thursday night since I work Fridays and am going straight from work to the dinner... Ahhhh!

*Deep breath* It does no one any good to complain... Must just do it. >_> Kouryuu-chans isn't back yet. It is very quiet without her around. Knight-kun hasn't been on either, but I think she is still mad at me... Trinity-sama and EE have been keeping me company, so that is good. ^_^ Otherwise this weekend would have been just me reading HnG fanfics and watching anime... o_o I'm such a loner... x_X

~ Caleyndar @ 2:30pm

Took the day off from work 'cause I'm sick... Caught the flu or something when I was at uni... Stuffy nose, sore throat, general grogginess. Ugh. Being sick is bad... You feel like crap and you don't want to do work, even though you have tons and ought to take the extra free time you have and do something worthwhile with it! ...

Anyway... started reading the HnG manga... Though it is licensed... Well, when they get past the volumes I have on the compie, I will buy. ^_^ That will be in a few years, I am guessing. *Cough cough*

Since I've been home I've been working my 512K connection like mad trying to clear my d/l backlog... Still have like 22 eps to get, and no doubt more eps will be released whilst I'm trying to deal with that... *Sigh* Hmm, watched the first 2 eps of Ikkitousen this morning... Lots and lots of panty shots... and what do you call the shots of cleavage? *Blinks* I guess it's just a fanservice anime... Nothing special. Will probably continue to get though, since I already started. There's the promise of blood and death that's a consolation, I guess.

I guess I should pull my act together and at least update the Divinitas site now... Since 053 is finished... Just need to edit and format. ^_^; Then I really really need to get started on Kenshin-dear...

~ Caleyndar @ 2:27pm

Wolf's Rain. Finished watching. 4 episodes in a row. All flash backs. Re-cap eps must die. 4. FOUR! Why, why? ... And the ending... Open. Again. What else is new with anime endings these days. Well... at least that's anotehr series finished and can burn off my HD when I get home later today. Much later. I still need to sleep first, don't I?

I've noticed that I sometimes have problems with drawing faces that have the right proportions for the eyes. So I did two sketches straight from screen caps. One of Hikaru and one of Touya, both looking most cool. I love those two characters! Rivals are so nice... As for my problem... Drawing more might help, ne?

Can't wait to get home... According to the email I got, my ADSL connection should be upgraded to 512K now, so must work hard to clear my backlog asap. Last time I counted I had over 20 eps to get... >_> Ack. And I really need to get started on the Kenshin piccy for Patty's 21st B-day... Which is on the 22nd... Ugh. And then there's that DracoxGryps piccy to finish still... And the Divinitas 2nd anniversary is approaching fast. X_X Time. Never enough, is there... For work anyways. ^_^;;;

~ Caleyndar @ 12:22am

Ahhhhhhhh...! I am happy. ^____^ I just finished watching the 75 episodes of Hikaru no Go... and I am feeling most satisfied with the ending (which we all know doesn't happen too often these days...). I feel very happy for Hikaru and Akira. No wonder there are so many fanfics out there that pair them together. They're still rivals, but they get a long now... sorta. ^_^; I love much. Can't wait to get the artbook for it! *Smile smile* Wish there was a second season for it, but I doubt much. ^_^;

What I really liked about this series is that the characters (most noticable in Shindou Hikaru and Touya Akira) grow as time passes. I mean, physically. It is really really nice to see that in an anime. Especially since those two were sooooooo kawaii when they were in the 6th grade, and now about 3 years after the timeline in the anime started, they're total bishis! *Grins*

Hmmm... Kouryuu-chan is away for 10 days... waa... I will miss her... not that I get to see much of anyone when I'm at uni though - which is where I am atm.

*Sigh* Once again I didn't get around to updating the Divinitas website. But I have, supposedly, finished writing 053, and am poking at 054 atm. I am bad. Hmm, and Knight-kun is mad at me because I say I won't post her stick figure fanart whilst I will post Trinity-sama's... whilst I can understand that may seem unfair and bitchy on my part... I have my own feelings concerning it which I find hard to explain. All I can do is offer my apologies for upsetting you, Knight-kun.

~ Caleyndar @ 8:13 pm

They still haven't upgraded my ADSL account... And my backlog... I don't even want to think about it. All the new releases are banking up on me. I'm drowning!!! ... I am also a little pissy that I'm missing ep 70 of HnG... Need to request to be sent to SL so I can d/l. Though I'm only up to ep 48 atm. ^_^;

Went out this morning by myself to buy more art supplies and stuff. So expensive. X_X I am broke for this week already. And then, if that wasn't enough, on a whim I brought South Side and North Side and the HnG Artbook on ebay today... *Sigh* Money disappears too quickly.

I had a really funny thought yesterday when I was walking to work. I was thinking... since I can't have a dog when I move out... I would want some birds instead. And since canaries are my fav pet birds, I figured I might try getting a breeding pair again (I had a set when I was younger... They had 3 chicks, but they all died. >_>). So then that got me to thinking about names and what colours to get. Hmm... Definately a yellow one, 'cause that's my fav, and how about a nice red factor, cause they're pretty too? Hmm... Yellow... Red Factor... =^______^= How about Aether and Phoenix!!! ... Don't worry, I was kicked plently hard for that... It's going too far, I know. But it was a joke, damn it!!!

~ Caleyndar @ 3:12 pm

Finally finished watching Slayers and Weiss Kreuz Gluhen. Slayers was... well, your typical humorous anime with magic and battles and yadda yadda yadda. Weiss Kreuz Gluhen though. Man. The 2nd seasond to Weiss Kreuz... it definately had a more substantial plot. And a lot of blood and killing. ^_^ I liked it better than the first season, even though it just confused me a lot. I'm hopeless when you start throwing in numerous names and organisations.

Anyway, on the train atm and will be home soon. Then it's onto more HnG! And yeah, will have to burn off Slayers and WKG to make more room on my HDs. Though I really ought to do HW. >_> I do not want to have to get up at 5 and 5:30am in the mornings rushing HW again. Though knowing me, that's not a lesson I'll ever learn. Oh... Right. And I should finish 053. I'll say one thing. Phoenix is being a real bitch atm. I want to kick him. He made Aether cry!... Errmm... Gotta go now.

~ Caleyndar @ 6:39 pm

Well. I watched Hikaru no Go all weekend. And finished the picture of Ari-san. But since I watched anime all weekend, I didn't even touch my uni work. So now here I am rushing it. ^_^ I get up at 5:30am in the morning to try and get just a little more of it done. Woot! Isn't it fun! ... But given the time over, would I really have done anything else? I'm totally loving HnG. ^_^ Sai is most cute and amusing, and acts like a girl rather often... Hmm... And ahhh... everyone knows that Touya and Hikaru should be slashed together.

Oh, and since my ISP has been making changes to the ADSL accounts, and putting a 33.6K cap in after the 72K one (meaning I get d/l speeds of around 3-4Ks if I go over the d/l limit), I rang them up (after being on hold for about 1/2 and hour) and put in an application to upgrade my account tot 512K witrh 16Gigs d/l... They said it would take 1-2 weeks before it was in place... So there goes my d/l backlog. *sigh*

Well, enough blogging. Must get back to stupid HW now.
