Got life

pebbles before avalanches

HAY DOODS. I've been wanting to hop on here again for awhile, but...I feel like there's so much to catch up on (too much). It's been too long!

I've been doing a million things, some of which includes slowly setting up art stuff on tumblr. Other things include projects at work, making it to work(!), balancing out and buckling down, sitting still and running around.

I really need to start posting regularly again -- if only to decompress my brain a little bit. I started doing yoga? I've done yoga once. I've been reading a llloOTTA GOOOD SHIT OMG. I was gonna just slather pictures of books and walls of text on this post, but there's...just too much, and I should really do writeups for the good stuff. Also I might have a giant anime mish-mash post soon? I mean can we TALK about Konosuba

We have a new roommate, which is amazing. My brain is sometimes still trash, which is not.

huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu

Someday I'll have the patience to write (more) about this movie and book and how fucking rad they are.

 ....aaaand that's it for me for now, I think

I, I can't sit still, 'cause

I'm no mountain

I, I can't sit so still, 'cause I'm no mountain

I can't sit still forever

(I'm no mountain)

Sullied mop and rusted pail / centuries of poison

Dear Father

who art in heaven

Hollow be thy name

Witches confused by their own magic

Witches displeased by their own perfume

Shame-locked women

Shaman women fuming with shame

Love-locked women

Women their own magic women

Hacksaws to hand grenades // Too much, too late, too far, too gone // I'm not formed of myself alone

Did the world get a little bit colder?
No wiser, just a little bit older
So slow that we're bound to fall over, oh

Did the heart grow a little bit harder
Too much, too late, too far, too gone


From here there's nothing but horizon
Near dawn, I'm searching for the sunrise
Remember when you put the stars into my eyes, oh

Wasn't it kind of wonderful

...could I really somehow be bulletproof against you
shotgunnin' across my mind
and I've taken you back too many times -- could I be armored against you, too?
Against all the ways that words cut through
against promises breaking into open wounds and
the resulting scars.

Used to pray -- hope for a miracle; two thumbs up for making me cynical

They said I'd gone south
Said I'd gone asunder
They don't know hunger or what I been under
They were all laughing
Thought I was debris
I was just free

NOT DEAD

A billion things?! IT HAS BEEN SO LONG, MY LITTLE CAULIFLOWERS

HEY I WENT ACROSS A WHOLE COUNTRY TO SEE TWO FANTASTIC PEOPLE PLEDGE TO BEGIN A COMPLETELY NEW AND AMAZING JOURNEY TOGETHER, BORNE ON A VESSEL OF LOVE, COMFORT, & COMPANIONSHIP
it was rad ok

Click below for many pictures!

Lo, verily: one must be / one must be / one must be / fresh // Got to get them demons bled // What's real

Today I sort of want to hurl myself into the ether. I'm trying to do that thing where you reclaim music from/despite your past experiences with it and the experiment is giving me the overwhelming desire to dance on the ceiling and violently shatter plates against walls.

Happy (late) St. Patrick's day! I have been muddling along and trying to finish up thingssssss. We made leprechauns at work; guess which one is mine?

(Yeah, it is Leprecthulhu.)

I was also hugely delighted with this thing:

Derprechaun

Spring continues to spring!

"I can't do this right now. I need sleep."

...Ugh. Ouch. Ok, that hit home.

Jeffrey Brown, you really go right for the feels.

Aldnoah Zero continues to be fun and robots!

AAAAAAAUGH THIS IS SO GOOD:

Look at this masterful fucking mix between detail and abstraction -- someone with the right vocabulary for this sort of thing could surely break it down better, but... just the way the story and illustrations flow, the way the emotion of the scenes overrides the scenery to convey expression -- from the detail of a pleasant garden (or river encampment, as below) scene to the mother's form (above) gradually deteriorating to become, with the loss of her family, a featureless, huddled smudge curled before a single unforgiving line.

So! Highly recommend that biz! I think that's one I'll definitely have to own eventually. GG CYRIL PEDROSA!

I got up really early this morning to catch the bus for my counseling appointment -- it's given me some good time to work on things, but I can't find my pens?!?!?! I've looked everywhere (and asked everyone) I can think of and I think I'm going a little mad at this point. PEN WA DOKO DESU KAAAAAA

Hang on: I'm trying to look you in the eye

You know, you should've apologized -- or should I apologize? 

Is there an answer?

What do you do

when the drowning stops?

No sticks, no stones could break my bones like you can

They keep telling me war is the answer

It's a disease of the spirit

It's more than just cancer

Break me into lines // Mixpost madness

Hahaha, oh man, do you guys remember that time I promised you a timely blog post and then ended up running around all week and never delivered? And when I finally did deliver I just bombarded you with an an enormous mishmash of books and anime and music and stuff? Hahahaha! Good times, good tiiiimes.

IT'S HAPPENING

* * * LET THE MADNESS COMMENCE * * *

Blog City // I CAME HERE TO KICK BUTTS AND FEED ON LIFE ENERGY

what are we gonna do when everything all falls through

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOKAY. Sorry about the lack of posting! I have a lot to cover, so I think I'm going to have to break it up a bit -- this post is going to cover some random jazz, but I promise there will be more posts right quick this week, covering books/anime/movies the works, ok.

I'm going to start having some good dedicated project time Friday nights, which I'm looking forward to -- I might get to learn to airbrush?! So that's pretty rad. I also have a potential D&D thing, which I'm more nervous about, having not played for a long time. O_O And other things I'm nervous about? And just... the usual other crap I guess. Bleh. Woo? Both, kind of.

There have been a lot of really gorgeous sunsets recently -- this one also had a giant rainbow

Had enough to bring me all the way to the ground

I don't have to tell you what I'm thinking about

THEN, INDEED, I WILL BE GLAD TO CARRY OUT TAP ON CAT

It's hard to tell, but there's a bird on the steering wheel of that car?! Someone's little buddy accompanying them to the library -- what a cutie! ^0^

SPEAKING OF CUTE CRITTERS AROUND THE LIBRARY

Return of Smolfrand

I have many (many) more comics to write about later, but Squirrel Girl is absolutely too delightful to postpone, and hey look at that great segue! Wouldn't want to waste that!

This whole thing is amazing and I laughed (on the bus, like a crazy person) out loud in the realm of physical sound. That doesn't happen to me a lot, even with funny books, so you know this is some gold right here. I mean, you should have already known that. Do you see North on the cover up there? As in Ryan North of Dinosaur comics? Yeah, you are in some good hands. The artwork is also fantastic?! Look at this man being accosted by squirrels!

Hahahaha! You thought you were winning!

MY turkey STORY!!

Yamato can make the Temmie face?!
