First Crescent: Page 011: Surprisingly Ill-behaved

Blimey.  I feel like I’ve spent the past week sleepwalking through the film, La Citee Des Enfants Perdus . . .  Everything is somewhat off-colour, there is this constant feeling of a mission needing accomplishment, and if I keep eating these madeleines, I will wind up being the size of Ron Perlman.

Today has been hecka busy, and it feels rather like I am on the road to something new.  I hope so . . .

AT ANY RATE, I am now at Job Number Two, having come back from a few errands as well as my job interview.  And may I radiate some rhetoric when I say . . . HOW MUCH DO I BLOODY WANT THIS VET TECH JOB?!  The place looks wonderful and it would give me a lot of experience that I’ve been wanting (assisting with surgery and the like), plus the benefits are fantastic.   Please, please, pleeeeease? ::clasps hands at chest level and turns imploring gaze unto the firmament::

::firmament is quite grey and resplendant with the promise of bum-fugly weather::

Co-worker El is coming round tonight to stay at my place, since I live beautifully close to work and there is supposed to be all sorts of weatherly nasty business tonight.  Funtimes, yo!

. . . Boss Number Two has a big collection of Mozart, which she has been kind enough to leave on loop in the stereo . . . ::snif:: Life is glorious.

It has been brought to my attention that I have been . . . less than a ray of sunshine as of late.  What can I say?  It has been a less than sunlit week.  Nonetheless, I’m due for an upgrade in outlook.  Hopefully, today’s sketch is a first step toward that.

. . .  Well, I do have a job interview tomorrow.  That’s a start.   Please wish me luck, won’t you?  With of  some fortune and positive attitude, you might be getting sketches and comic pages from a (sun-) shiney new Vet Tech ^_^  Heck, if that is a case, set a sundial by my feet and I won’t need a watch anymore ^_^

Hope everyone’s doing okay!

Getting today’s sketch done early on.  I wound up with extra time this morn, so it only seemed approposlike.

Voila le Simon’s car.  Well, one of the five or six he owns . . . But yer, his Bentley GT Continental is the most ridiculously expencive of the lot and his very fave.

. . . I daresay Simon Crane might be comparable to Lemuel Gulliver if we were to max metaphorical about carbon footprints (that’s Gulliver-a-la-Lilliput, not Gulliver-a-la-Brobdingnag, mind).

At any rate, I clearly need more practice at drawing cars, plus I have to go to the DMV today, so it seemed only fitting . . . DunwannagottoDeeEmVeee . . . Don’t make me! ::wails in protest and shreds carpet with nails dragging self out door::

Ah, the ghastly weather goes on!  It snowed and hailed AND rained last night.   Suffice it to say, the out-of-doors was positively DISGUSTING.   There was snow and grey slush UNDER THE SNOW, and I would have sworn it squelched underfoot.  SQUELCHED, I say.  Gross.

But yer, I’d anticipated to have the day off, as I could not get my car out of the alley.  But my boss actually picked me up and I wound up workin’ all day.   As such, today’s sketch comes to you on the fiery wings of my covetousness.

Oh to be home, all toasty-toast in my robey-robe with my cuppy-cup of tea-y tea . . .  Right, that didn’t work.  But yer.  Nothing like sitting at home on a snow day with a cup of tea and a plate of beans-on-toast.

NAY.   I spent today scooping cat boxes and . . . well, wishing I was not scooping cat boxes.   There was, however, a bright spot . . . In the form of a litter of nine fortnight-old puppies.  Behold.

Puppies and wellies! Say it wi’ me now . . . D’AWWWR.

More Simon . . . Because the general tone of the day called for something grey and broody.

. . . Really and truly.  The weather has been almost Kafkaesque these days, and today especially.  The sky was so cloud-choked it was deceptively dark all day and the ground was covered with about an inch of revolting, grey slush, but the air wasn’t altogether cold.  And it was very, very raining.

I must say, I don’t much care for this weather.    It makes everything grey and dreary and gloomy.  And I happen to be quite sensitive to changes in barometric pressure.  As such, rain = F.  sliding down the wall with eyes crossed and bits of brain falling away like a wet cake.

I did, however, receive some lovely texts at work today, which were quite motivational when the time came to spatula myself off of the side of the building.   Co-Worker Elissa is liking D.S.P. so far and says they look like ideas for posters.  I love it!  Perhaps I shall take one of them in that direction in the near future.   And my darlingface, K. sent me a haiku that made my poor ickle heart go warmy-warm.  Colour my cockles like chestnuts with the fabled open fire.  Cheers, lovely ^__^

Simontimes, today

He’s a lone wolf, mm-hmm.

Hectic and wierdoo day at work, this was (And no classical music! Be dry, my leaking eyes!), hence the simple sketch.  Simon makes a good subject for simple, monochromatic pieces, though, so it worked out nicely.  Simon, thank you for being a colourless antisocialite who runs away from fun!  I am most grateful.

. . . Okay, so I lied.  I do have a sketch for today, only because it was something I wanted to draw anyway.  And doing laundry is dead boring.  I had an hour and a half to kill.

Three from Hawaii! Those are my cats, and according to their file at the shelter, they, like Ursula, are former residents of Hawaii. Heh, it were fun to draw.

First Crescent: Page 010 : Nostalgiaggedon

Woo! Time for a flashback! . . . I’m sorry these pages are so limited. They’ll become more involved and storied soon, I daresay.

Oh, and a few announcements! For those who have not cottoned on, I have begun an endaevour to draw, finish and post a new WWW sketch every day. Because, I dunno if it’s just me ::koffkoffactuallyK.hasbeennippingatmeaboutthistoo,butIdigresskoff:: but it feels like a long time from Monday to Monday . . . so yer. Check back for new sketches every day (though I probably won’t do Mondays since, yanno, that’s when the actual comic updates)! They’re going to be below in the blogposts, and there’s a page for the lot. You can get to it by dint of clicking the shiny, new ‘D.S.P.’ on the menu bar overhead (that stands for Daily Sketch Project, nerks). See it? Just up there? Fabbity.

. . . Holy carp. HO. LY. CARP. The other day at work, I caught my fingernail on the latch of a cage and ripped it off pretty far down. It was so dreadfully bloody! . . . Heh, I kind of wish I could post a picture of it. Alas, the camera can not seem to capture the sheer awesome scope of my grisly ordeal.

::flail:: “I am disfigured for life! I am the Elephant Man!”

Happy Monday, you lot :D

Full day, people.  Full day . . . And crikey, it is SO COLD as of late.  You know it is Too Bloody Cold when it is So Cold That Thirty Seconds Outside Leaves You Feeling As Though Bits Of Your Face Could Fall Off . . .

Bit of an involved sketch, today . . .  It is my one day off, after all.  And even though it was still quite truly full, I managed to shove this out;

H’yup. Tis R.’s flower shoppe. I felt it was high time I drew some scenery, since all of my sketches thus far have been character-centric.

So. Yey?

. . . Ah, the boon of a cat in my lap to warm me against this ghastly deep freeze! Now, if only I could strap a cat to my face when I go outside . . .
