you know that moment just after waking up where you sorta lounge in your warm bed because all the lumps are just right???

well, that moment was spoiled by one heck of a sneeze, and my sneeze reaction is to palm my lower face to stop any fluids from flying all over.

but when I pulled my hand away it, was red!

I practically flew to the bathroom to see what the heck happened and saw my reflection in shock, my entire lower jaw was covered in blood coming from my right nostril.

at this point, I would like to say that I have never in my entire life had ever had a nosebleed of any kind (not counting the one time I scratched the side of my nose) so seeing the mess I was in was... a little unsettling.

my youngest brother gets nosebleeds allot. especially if he's been jumping around too much or got knocked in the head from wrestling or something.

I don't feel lightheaded or any headaches or high pressure. so there really is no reason that a little nose blood should bother me (just so you know, blood in general doesn't bother me) but the idea of bleeding from the head... just doesn't sit well with me as I've just discovered.

I guess the thing that bothers me the most is not knowing why it happened. the sneeze wasn't that strong, and I certainly haven't hit my head recently. so why the blood???

meh... random grossness for the day.

my hands are way too shaky to ink the drawing I'm trading with =Jakxter...

I made fresh strawberry muffins today which are REALLY good...

I have several tribes of hairballs and dust-bunnies that have been colonizing in every corner of my room, and have been meaning to vacuum all week but never got farther then bringing in the vacuum and plugging it in...

the fan in my bathroom desperately needs replacing as it broke down several months ago and it's now "dusty winds" season...

and I'm currrently watching my recently downloaded "Jem and the Holograms" homemade DVDs...

did I mention I feel like a pile of snot due to a cold?

meh... random thoughts for the day.

so I over slept and didn't wake up until way past noon and just before everyone got home from school and work. so I never got around to cooking lunch which meant we had to order take out.

so there we are, eating our selected meals from the chicken nugget place we like to order from, and me and ~taker2 are having an animated discussion about cartoons. the main topic being if we should download "Oran High School Host Club" or not, and we were calling it "high school" for short.

so then my other brother pipes up saying "high school musical? I thought you guys said that sucked! how could you say you like it so much now?"

me and Taker look at him oddly and I say "hey, I never said I like High School Musical, I said I wanted to watch it when it first came out cause I wanted to see how it was. and besides, we're not talking about that. we're talking about the host club cartoon."

"anime, you wouldn't be interested." said Taker.

my brother rolls his eyes at us "it's always anime with you two. if it wasn't Yugioh, it's Naruto or Bleach or something else that's just stupid."

so I protest "hey! I never said I liked Naruto! it's the dumbest anime show I've ever watched."

so he counters "yeah? well then why did you watch it?"

me fidgeting with a nugget (I only watched until the part where Sasuke and Naruto battle it out before Sasuke gets stuffed in a basket to be sent to Ochimaru, I left it and never watched anything after that) "I wanted to know who ends up dying when... or if they even died."

"you liked it!" he teased.

"did not!" I protested "they take a scene which only needed about 3 episodes to conclude and they stretch it into a hundred episodes just to make one or two cool fight scenes and start over. and don't get me started on how often they repeat every flashback ever shown in the show. we already know that Naruto is and an orphan and everyone else has a dramatic history and..."

"actually, you know what the truth about Naruto turned out?" interrupts Taker.

I look at him "yeah, didn't it turn out that his father was still alive or something?"

he shakes his head "no, it turns out his father was a Hokage!"

and then mom asks confused "whose father was a hooker?"

shocked pause fallowed by hysterical laughter.

me: "mom, you just demolished everything that's in Naruto with a single word!"

Taker: "we said Hokage! not hooker."

me: "as in the name of the leader of the tribe."

mom "well, I heard hooker, sorry."

so then my youngest, 11-year-old, brother says "mom, what's a hooker?"

and mom says without missing a beat "it's the man who uses a large hook on a chain to hang animals in a butcher shop so they can cut them up easily. that's how we get steaks and hamburgers."

"oh." he says content with the answer.

meanwhile everyone else, including my dad, are laughing ourselves silly. because we know which "hooker" she was really thinking about when she first misheard the word.

"riiiiiiiiight, that's exactly what a hooker is, ma."

First 14 people to comment on this journal, requesting a slot, will get 3 pieces from their gallery featured by me.
I will choose the pieces I like best.

In return, those Deviants featured will have to create their own Feature Journal, placing me in the first slot; leading to a total of 15 Featured Deviants.

and I'd like to add that if you've already done this before, then you can still get the feature without really having to do one yourself, but it would be nice if you put in the effert just to spread it out a little.

meeting went well, nothing worth reporting other then that.

and we canceled going to the wedding because mom got sick and there's no way come hell or high-water I'm going to a wedding where I don't know anyone other then my uncle's wife (who I don't really care for)

and Dad got April Fooled by accident, because something went silly with lunch and I just noticed that it was the first of April.

oh, I also earned 0.10$ online this week. too bad I can't really use it outside of Project Wonderful, but hey, a penny's a penny no matter what the form.

OLD POST:

things not to look forward to this week:

1. another wedding.

I was so sure I ran out of cousins by the last one, but nooooooo, my uncle's wife's sister's son is getting married, and his mom invited us special! my feet are already complaining about the high heels that are waiting in the closet...

2. special meeting with the new boss.

I (and my colleagues) am expected to list my problems, my thoughts in solving them, and generally debate what the hell's going on and what's expected from us. though I'm not really looking forward to the actual meeting itself, I am excited in being heard for once, as the new boss is someone who actually does listen and consider all points of views... the downfall is that she's the type who demands every little tiny sneeze in writing, thus will be demanding paperwork up the wazoo... have I ever mentioned how much I loath writing?

3. saying a halfhearted goodbye to the Duck.

with EH now having it's new home site, I now have to make sure that it gets it's viewers to make it work. this means that I'll be neglecting my old Drunk Duck site in favor of it instead, but rather then just saying a big fat "I'm Leaving!" I'll still be posting updates there, only they will be a whole week later. and I'm gonna include dA in that, too. so if you want more EH, you can either visit the home site, or wait an extra week for it to show up here.

and I guess that about covers my week... now I'm off to sketch the last two panels. *dances away*

in other news, my boss was transferred this week... I really don't know how to feel about that. I know I've said some pretty nasty things about her that I really shouldn't have, even if I was royally angry and upset at the time, but when it actually comes down to it in the long run, if not for her, I would not have a job to begin with, nor would I have gained the experiences of having a job. (ups and downs all included)

she's taught me so much about life as a responsible and working adult, and I really don't think I could ever thank her properly for doing so, even if I didn't realize it at the time.

the thing that saddens me the most is that no one at work even bothered to tell me they were throwing her a going away party in the morning shift. so I didn't even get to say goodbye or good luck to her...

I'm hoping since my mom knows where she lives that I might make a tea-time date and visit her sometime next week, just to make up for missing her party. she may have been demanding, and sometimes even overly so, but she never turned down any of my suggestions or requests (at least when she was able to accept them)

alright, my eyes are nice and moist once again, time to finish up the page.

take care all,
Wazzy

and my brother refused to buy me a sundae from McDs... something about not wanting to play apart in ruining my diet, the traitor! I deserve a lousy cup of a cheap vanilla with strawberry sauce!!! dang it, I know his hearts in the right place, but I really wanted that sundae to cool off, it was rather hot today.

anyway, so there I was, sitting at my table, actually and finally putting pencil to paper for the comic, just drawing Kevin's face for one of the panels..... when mom comes in practically yelling like a banshee the moment she came home from a field trip at work.

something about fetching a cup of coffee, a movie, and the tub of Nivia cream to do her feet. but I really didn't care for the "don't you dare leave me!" part once I got everything for her. she wanted a movie fest with me, and I was seriously not in the mood. she didn't even stay awake through the second movie. but thanks to her I lost 4 perfectly good hours doing absolutely nothing productive, and I really wanted to get something done today since it was my last day off for the week.

yesterday was supposed to be a day off too, but I got dragged to the field trip she had due to an emergency that only "I" had the power to save along with my ever trusty brother (the same one who refused my request for an ice-scream!)

so thanks to the two-day field trips she had to host, I lost my two days off either working (the first field trip), or watching movies that I really didn't want to watch. because she was cranky and tired. ("Aquamarine" was totally the wrong mood, and "Immortal" was just strange and pointless.)

so now I'm off to bed with regrets over the lost days were the only thing I was able to do was make hero sandwiches for lunch while feeding and taking care of my other brother who has the stomach flue and can't hold a thing down.

I love my mom to bits and have never minded spending quality time with her. but not when she's in a mood like today. all it does is make me feel like locking myself in my room to try and escape her.

at least I finally managed to reach the civilization stage in spore this morning. man that game rocks!

why? well, check this stupid thing out!\, it's all my brother's fault for making me watch.

[link]

now you'll be asking yourself: "we'll, that wasn't quite so bad, it was fun and funny, but why hate youtube over it?"

I agree, I had a good laugh at it myself. but the aftermath was me looking up that game and then going to Jarir where they had it in stalk in the electronics section, and of course, buying it.

now I found a new gosh darn distraction. creating creatures that walk, talk (if grunting is considered talking) and do basically anything that I want.

I've never really liked the SIMS, but SPORE is just a completely different thing altogether. I mean... you get to make your very own animals! how freaking cool is that? and I'll bet you'll never guess what animal I created... I'll give ya a hint, she's big, red and has a single horn.

now excuse me while I go and tell my tribe to crush the neighbors while picking fruit to survive and guarding the babies.

getting an old game you already finished and going through the addiction ALL. OVER. AGAIN!!!

ok, explanation time. not too long ago, while downloading the latest episode of "Legend of the Seeker", I ran into a forum post containing a HUGE list of PSP games to download. the kinda stuff I sadly don't see in stores or can't afford. so downloading is mu only option.

however, in that list is a small collection of PS1 games which have been pirated to work on the PSP. I was like "are you serious?" there were games on that list I would have killed to re -own after my brothers murdered the only disks I had. I still lament the loss of my "Legend of Dragoon"

in any case, one of the games in the pirate list was "Castlevains: Symphony of the Night." I haven't played that game in close to 9 years, and it was one of those awesome puzzle/story/tactical games that just leads to tons of fun.

now, to make these pirated games work, you need to download a few codes you add to the PSP to help read the files. now, I may know a thing or two about coding here and there, but I was very skeptical about messing with things I have no guarantee of working or not screwing up my console. so I decided in the end to leave the pirate list alone and just stick to the safe PSP format games.

one of the games I got, which was an ok substitute, was "Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles", it's a far cry from the one I wanted or even the one on the Gameboy or DS.

but get this! just a few days ago I picked up an item which turned out to be an "Unlock Original Game" thingie. and guess what? it was the game I WANTED!

now I'm currently playing "Symphony of the Night" on the PSP as if I've never played it before. I mean, I'm walking with the dang thing in my hand like a smoker does with a pack of sigs.

It's so exciting to be playing such a fun and memorable game again. I'm even discovering and unlocking stuff I never did before.

but gosh darn it if it's not ruining so many of my plans art wise. why must I be a gamer as well as an artist? there are times when I wish I hated games so they wouldn't be such a nuisance of a distraction.

but then again, I'm having way too much fun flying around like a bat and bashing up walls and opening new rooms. *gleeee!*

but I must say it's a very interesting process to make a video. not to mention that requires a whole different dimension in an artist that I never really took the time to consider. I knew that film making was an art, but man, actually making a video (even a crappy one) really hits the nail on the head.

almost makes me wanna buy a better (if costly) camera to be able to make something better then the scars I'm making.

PS: I'm editing the Inking stage of the Ranu drawing I'm working on. expect the video later tonight.
