Rugby

I really wish we had an official rugby team at Warner... I really want to play legit rugby.  I miss it.  My coach finally got me these pics from our photo shoot last semester of our rugby team.  She called me "ridiculously photogenic". Well thanks!

Flea Markets are BOSS

Over this spring break, (last week) Karis and I went to the flea market and dude, I got some nifty treasures. Check em OUTTTTTT:

 I collect little figurines like these. I have a whole box full of them at home.  I almost peed my pants in excitement when I saw these.  They were in a little bin and an old lady came over to me and told me that whatever was in the bin was a quarter each.  OH YEAAAHH.

 So I proceeded to dig through the box picking out all the ones I could find that I wanted.  It was AWESOME.

 

This set of silverware, I almost walked past, but they were too awesome looking.  I told Karis that if they were anymore than $5 I wouldn't buy them.  I then found the lady whose table we were at, and... she said she'd sell for $4.  Ok lady. Ya got me. SOLD!  Hahah.

Battlestar Galactica

Karis and I finished Battlestar two days ago.  It was so good!!!  I just wanna go draw all my favorite characters from it!  I also cried... not just at the end either. I cried multiple times throughout the entire show.  Stupid emotions.  But I don't mind. I just feel that much more attached the the characters.  I wanna be one of those fans that have a bajillion pics and quotes on their walls from the movie because its AWESOME.

What's a show on t.v. that has made you cry??

My friends have great taste

Now, by the title, not only do I mean that they have great taste in picking me as their friend.... ;-) but I also mean that they have great taste in television.  Karis especially has amazing taste in television.  In the last couple weeks we have been watching a bunch of shows that she really likes and.... I LIKE THEM TOO!!!!  

Here are the two that we've watched and their descriptions:

Dollhouse

 

 ""The show revolves around a corporation running numerous underground establishments (known as "Dollhouses") across the globe which program individuals referred to as Actives (or Dolls) with temporary personalities and skills. Wealthy clients hire Actives from Dollhouses at great expense for various purposes. The series primarily follows the Active known as Echo, played by Eliza Dushku, on her journey towards self-awareness.""   (from Wikipedia)

*** Ok so...  this show was so good, when it ended, I was literally sobbing. No, I am not exaggerating. Not at all.

Firefly

 ""The series is set in the year 2517, after the arrival of humans in a new system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things". The show explores the lives of some people who fought on the losing side of a civil war and others who now make a living on the outskirts of society, as part of the pioneer culture that exists on the fringes of their star system. In addition, it is a future where the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures.""

*** This show was really good too. It was quirky and it was heavy and light at times.  It's a shame it ended so soon.  

Currently, Karis and I are watching Battlestar Galatica.  She's already seen the entire series and I think it's one of her favorites.   

Whelp.... That's all :)  

 

The Start of 40 Days of Epic Awesomeness!!!!!!

     Tomorrow, my friends and I are going to start a diet/exercise regimen for 40 days to coincide with Chris Seay's book, A Place at the Table.  It's about solidarity with the poor from other countries.  We eat what they eat every day for 40 days which is rice, chicken, some fruit and only drink water.  

Me, Salina, and Lexi

     This is our "Before" pic.  We individually took "before" pics of ourselves so after our 40 days of hardcore working out, we will take them again, and another one like above, and be able to see a difference. I hope. And just in case we can't see it, we took our measurements. Gotta cover all the bases!!  

     I am definitely excited about it.  I just hope I stay disciplined and keep at it.  I want to go above and beyond and seriously get really well.  Wish me well!!

 

I hate regret

Right now, I am working on two little portraits for a woman who works in the office that I am a student worker in.  Her husband's birthday is on the 23rd and I am gonna try my best to get them into her by tomorrow afternoon.  It's gonna be tough.  I have the 11x14 done and I like it, but I am still working on the two 5x7s which are a little more difficult because I've never worked that small with a portrait before.  I was just looking at the bigger portrait.. 

Ok, yes... I might have been admiring it, but not in a conceited way.  I was merely thinking about how far I have come along with my art.  I started thinking about the day when I was in about 7th grade and I drew a really good portrait of Johnny Depp.  Well... good for back then.  I remember, I was really shocked that I drew him so well.  

That just started me thinking about all the other things that I had drawn... little books I had started, or phases I went through drawing certain things...  I really really really wish that I had kept them.  I had thrown them away gradually with every occasional room cleaning.  Now looking back, if I were to change one thing about my past, it would be that. I would have collected all of my art work so I could look back, like I wish I could now, and see my artistic progression.

So... can you think of something that, looking back now, you seriously wish you hadn't thrown away?  Let's get some comments on here people!!! I wanna read about you!  It is NOT hard to comment if you don't have an account.  PLEASE :)

TUMBLR IS AWESOME

I know that I had a post awhile ago that said I decided to keep this blog instead of having a tumblr, but my friend, Karis, convinced me to get one and try it again. I had one once, but I wasn't really motivated to figure it out because it was weird.  Anywaaayyyy, now I have one again, and it is so much fun!!!  It isn't super bloggy like blogspot.  It's more of a picture sharing kind of place.  There are some really funny stuff on there!  I have to start getting more involved with the gifs because those are usually the funny things about tumblr.  People will be commenting on something someone said or did, or a movie or whatever, and they will post their reaction to it via a gif.  The gifs are usually from a movie or show and the way they put it, its just so funny because it really clicks.
