Drawing My Life Away

Pretty pretty are the girls as they go by
Chilly chilly is the air under moonlit sky
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

The city's watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Silly silly are the thoughts that fill your head
Wish I'd never set out, wish I'd stayed in bed
You see reflections from across the street
So you better start movin' stop draggin' your feet

The city's watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Money money, gotta get some money and run
Its an issue I find unenviable
It doesn't matter which way you turn
But you gotta keep trying cause you never learn

The city's watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Funny funny how the world goes round and round
You better watch your step don't make a sound
The windows watch you as you walk along
And the streets lead back to where you started from

The city's watching and you can't get by
No matter where you hide you know the buildings have eyes
This place is lonely but you can't get away
No matter what you say you know the buildings have eyes

Pretty pretty
Chilly chilly
Silly silly
Money money

Well . . . lesse . . .

Still unemployed . . . but looking. The wonder of the electronic age, you can apply for a job online and get rejected 2 hours later ^_^ Soooooo fun.

Working on Christmas presents . . . decided it was time to clean out the ol' fabric stash and use my sewing machine more (which is why I've been scarce) Here's a picture of my first finished product, a stuffed parrot for my niece.

Not the best picture, but you get the idea. It's not an accurate depiction of any parrot in particular, I just needed to use the large amount of green fabric sitting in my closet ;P

I WANT THIS ON A T-SHIRT!!!

I LOVE YOU FOGLIOS!!!! ^_^
Again . . . I haven't been on here much. If there's something you'd like to bring my attention to, please do . . . I just went through my friend's page up to 140 and I'm overwhelmed and not going back any farther O.o

As for what I've been up to . . . here's Merial's Halloween costume:

Sailor Moon - Cute Pose
by *dragondoodle on deviantART

Just read the description on how I made all of it.

Not much else to report . . . feeling rather depressed at the moment but it isn't anything that anyone can do about it but me so I'm not going talk about it anymore than that.

October 19th, 2009

This weekend was . . . to say the least . . . NUTS.

Friday night was Meri's belt test. She was going for her purple belt, and I invited my parents to come for the weekend to see it (since they're the ones paying for her karate lessons). Meri not only passed, but she did it in a style that impressed her teachers . . . to the point where she got up and did Pinon one BY HERSELF and NAILED IT!!!!! SHE WAS AWESOME!!!! *ish very proud* She moves up to the Intermediate Class now ^_^ After said test we went for a celebratory dinner at Cafe Italia, which was delicious.

The next day we all (and I do mean all, even Dan) went to the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town with my parents. The Zoo was fun . . . the animals were fairly active since it was cool, and we discovered that they have a carousel at the zoo now . . . and it sooo COOL. I have to love a carousel that has a PRAYING MANTIS you can ride on! And an Otter! XD Not a single horse to be seen, but the animals they did have were so cool! Go here to see the layout and some of the animals, including the otter After the zoo and a short picnic we went to Fairytale Town and let the kids continue to run themselves ragged XD By the time we left the area, we were all exhausted. My parents then treated us to Chinese and left us to get the kids calmed down enough so that they could continue the fun on Sunday.

Sunday we went to a pumpkin patch and got the kids pumpkins to carve for Halloween. Went to a low key one . . . didn't want to expend a lot of energy trying to explain to the kids why they couldn't do any of the stuff do to money constraints. >.> But, we got two really nice pumpkins for $10 for both. :D Hung out at the house for a while, and then headed off to a 3D Double Feature of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. That was pretty cool, the kids enjoyed it. Although, I have to say the Toy Story didn't really work very well as 3D . . . whereas Toy Story 2 was PERFECT in 3D. But, since I hadn't ever seen either of them on the big screen (and neither had the kids) it was fun to do. Long though . . . I'm really amazed Doug was able to sit still that long (movies started at 3pm and we didn't get out of the theater until 7pm)

Needless to say, that after all of that, I feel like I need to recover from my weekend >.> But it was fun.

*sigh* Now to get serious on my to-do list.

And that is the State of the Draig.

Back to the 80's

This is my character, Rysta, dressed as Jem, and a character of a friend of mine dressed like a member of Motley Crue from the early years (not an exact replica . . . more inspired by).

XD

October 9th, 2009

And this site never ends to bring tears of laughter to my face.

Just pick a review . . . any review XD


There's just something funny about the combination of a clever, snarky man who doesn't seem to breathe between sentences and primitive animation. ^_^


Or . . . maybe it's just me *shrugs*

October 1st, 2009

Lesse . . . what's been happening.

Dusting off Ye Olde Resume to get it ready for job hunting again.

Meri's Sailor Moon Costume is going well . . . finished the wig, tiara, earrings, and choker. I know that doesn't sound like much, but that WIG was HARD. 36" of cheap blond hair . . . *bleah*

Finished the wedding present I'd been agonizing over, and it turned out well.

Realizing I've been neglecting my story . . . need to remedy that. Soon.

Looks like we'll be going to see the King Tut exhibit in December! YAY!! I'm very excited about this, since I saw it when it came through 30 years ago (yes, I was 8 at the time) and my daughter will be seeing it at the same age I did ^_^ How cool is that?

Cats are still alive and kicking . . . despite threats from their owners of death on many occasions for various destructive behaviors, including trying to remove a painting of mine from the wall forcibly O.o At least they take care of the bugs that slip under the badly weatherstripped doors XD

Finally introduced to major homework with Merial . . . poor kid . . . beginning of the nightmare. At least she doesn't fight doing it.

Other than that . . . fighting off a cold at the moment.

Oh . . . and just because I felt the need for a little cheerful color, here's a photo I took while I was in Idaho in Sun Valley ;P

Still arting my heart out XD Having fun, entered 4 contests (lost one and got 3rd in another so far), and I'm fairly happy with my progress. Here's a couple of current works for the mildly interested:

Sybil and Denton

Gaetan Character Sheet
by *girl-n-herhorse on deviantART

Not here or on Facebook very often, but trying to keep up with everyone.

Working on Meri's Halloween costume. She's going to be Sailor Moon, the original and first transformation. Progress has been good, but it's been HELL finding a white leotard to base the whole thing on. Resigned to getting the darn thing online and praying that it fits.

Other than that . . . been watching an episode of Jeeves and Wooster every night (Dan got the whole run of the series for his birthday). XD Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were such a fantastic team . . . they were MADE for these roles! And it's so fun to see Hugh Laurie being an idiot. ^_^

Other than that . . . 15th Anniversary came and went with much fun sans kids . . . Meri started 3rd grade O.o . . . Doug is getting bigger every day . . . job is going well . . . and, well, life goes merrily on ^_^
