Round 24: Colored Line Art
Name: manaika
Character(s)/Pairing(s): conrad, yozak - conzak - image from manga...same page as that icon.
Credits: microsoft with the practical programs picture manager and paint, adobe with the flawless idea which is photoshop, of course temari matsumoto & tomo takabayashi for the genial idea of kyou kara maou, and yes - that nameless, yet wonderfull site I've got it from - at first I though I've got it from lj from this entry, but I noticed that I didn't...and now I have no clue. And unfortunately, beofre I knew better, I inserted the text (♥ chuu) in there and now I can't give you the very original. But I started coloring it at that state.
Creator's Notes: One of my better "creations". Though, looking at it, Yozak's face would deserve another layer of coloring, but I decided against it - Was it a good idea?

The house we were raised in first appears in Lane County records in 1875 and may have been built before then, according to Mom. Look, it had no foundation (I wish I was joking) and the walls were paper thin, I am used to cold. It used to be fight-for-a-cat and hot bricks in the bed all around.

And I did turn on my heater and now it won't turn OFF all the way which makes me sullen because I hate being too warm. I'm keeping the door open so some of the heat seeps into the rest of the aparto. Amy is still making fun of me for breaking down, although SHE doesn't have a chest cold.

Also, am working on a joke where Bones points out that Spock shares his bed with half the ship's-cats and That Mutt from Engineering and nobody accuses HIM of having 'an intimate relationship' with them, so he can just not suggest anything about Bones and Jim sleeping in the same bed, kthx. Spock opens his mouth, looks at Bones, closes it again.

I got Foucault's Pendulum out of the library about a week back, since I'd seen it mentioned a couple of times. The problem I have with Ecco is not so much the ... literariness? as it is that I just like plainer writing. I mean, besides the fact that I spent half the time wondering if dude was just high or what, when someone writes around a story that much it's hard for me to get invested in it. (I had the same problem with Diamond Age by Neil whatshisface, actually.) Maybe I don't have the attention span for digressions or something, but most of the time if someone's telling a story I want them to just god damn well tell the story with the side notes and all. I mean, it can be effectively done, but ... I think it works better in a 3rd person POV or as a collection of letters and stuff? 1st person rambling doesn't really do it for me. Maybe it was better in the original Italian.

Okay it's still like 18F out there but it's go to the library and return the books I have kicking around or read more god damn Kirk/McCoy (McKirk? sounds like a fast food sandwich) and wonder if we were even watching the same movie. And I took over Amy's black wool peacoat so should be warm enough, although since I always wear long skirts on my days off between that and the inevitable tam on my head I feel like an illustration from 1914.

Well. I guess the good thing about my harddrive crashing is not watching Star Trek XI every weekend.

bawwww.

Nathan seems to be on the interview circuit this week. He's got another interview up with Stardish Radio. The interview was actually a live interview with a chatroom and a hotline, so Nathan answers a bunch of fan questions and also takes some calls, in addition to the basic stuff.

A/N: I wrote this really fast yesterday, post it at Fanfiction and thought why not post it at LJ too, so here I am, do be hard. :) I hope you guys like it!

I THINK [and I hope that I'm wrong] today I'll be a slow day for PJ news so I'm going to post the Swiss poster in UHQ so you all can see how weird and badly photoshoped Percy's hair looks.



ps: Tell me that I'm wrong and there isn't hair coming out Logan's ear... WHAT.THE.HELL.FOX?
Btw: Tags are not supposed to be removed. Yes, I'm talking to you Daily Percy Jackson News.

I am soooo excited about the new Sneak Peak with Percabeth that I decided to post 2 new pictures of him!

Enjoy.

( the cut. love cuts! )

Yeah, I cut the other people in the pictures because Mr. Lerman is what matters right? Don't blame me.

There was no insulation. There was only a wood stove for heat. I feel like this would be giving in a little.



eta: in my (weak) defense, I have been staying in bed with about seven blankets and a running laptop, plus a rice bag and a woolly sweater, and take a really hot bath every day. I JUST DON'T LIKE RUNNING THE HEATER OKAY ;_;

Here's the snow-related happenings thus far:

School this morning: Neither canceled nor delayed.
Snow: Present and falling. Lets up slightly (at least in my area) basically right after I've dropped the last kid off.

School this afternoon: Out two hours early. Which means I only spent two hours at home between morning and afternoon routes. Yay.
Snow: Started up again pretty much right when I was getting on the road. Changed to stinging bits when I got back to the lot, then back to fluffy.

Apartment driveway: Still steep. Still unplowed/unsanded. Went out and salted some myself yesterday evening and this morning. Had to re-salt this afternoon to make it to the top of the driveway. Had to stop several times and re-try, and had to stop and re-apply accelerator twice on successful try in order to avoid crashing into one of the cars that is parked in the driveway. No collisions.

Now: [City where Socchan lives] has declared a SNOW EMERGENCY, ZOMG! [Schools of aforementioned city] have canceled after-school activities. For today. No word on school tomorrow.
Me: Wait, let me get this straight. We've declared a snow emergency. We closed school early today in order to avoid horrible traffic happenings. Our entire region and our state in particular are making national news because of how much snow we're supposed to get. And you don't want to commit to saying we're canceling school tomorrow just yet?!

SIGH.

If you need me, I believe I will be checking the local news, to see if they have anything to say about school cancellations. Also, why does "canceled" have only one L, but "cancellations" have two? This is not of the sense-making!

Nathan did an actually good for once interview a few days ago with Clevver TV, another YouTube-based media news channel. The interview covers the basic things as well as iQuit iCarly and very tiny bit about iSaved Your Life.
