Draw With Me
Story & Animation by Mike Inel
A story about a girl and a boy separated by an unbreakable glass. I first came across this on deviantART. At the time it was a work in progress, then Mike Inel came back and finished it. I was so happy to see the finished product. It's a really cute and sad story... I just had to post it.
So I bought tickets to Anime Expo today (a 4-Day Pass) and I am also going to purchase a 4-Day Pass for Comic-Con if it's still available. Am I crazy? Maybe, but I really wanna go. I didn't get to go to Comic-Con last year and I was really looking forward to it. Even though San Diego is quite far for me.
But, oh well.
The L.A. Convention Center is like 20 minutes away so it's not too bad. And I was even able to get a friend of mine to tag along. Last year, my friend Bob came with me to Anime Expo. It was funny how it all happened. I basically called the day of, and said: "Hey, wanna come to Anime Expo with me?" and he was all like, "Sure! What the heck is that?" I LOLz for like 3 whole minutes before I was able to reply. But that's Bob for ya. Willing to go anywhere if he's bored out of his mind. He did have a good time, though. Maybe I can get him to tag along again. Hee hee.
Nothing else to report. Doing well today, so I'm just trying to enjoy a day of semi-normalcy. Not too hungry, but it's okay. I'll ask the hubby to bring home some ice cream on his way back from work. I kinda want to fill my tummy with some yummy dairy goodness. I also did a few stretches to get the muscles moving. I can't move around as much because I'm pretty much either in bed or on the couch for most of the day, but today I felt well enough to stretch a bit and get the muscles moving.
I really hope this feeling lasts until my next cycle. That would be awesome. If it does, maybe I can go out to a movie or to dinner with the hubby. It's been a long while since we've done something. Maybe I'll even be able to go to the park with the baby, that would really make her happy.
Oh! I did a little bit of writing too. Only like 20 minutes worth. Nothing great, just trying to jot some ideas down before they flew out of my mind. Most of them were for my latest project... a novel turned graphic novel. I am no artists/illustrator, but I think this could really work if I can find someone that is willing to share the vision with me - we'll see if that works out, otherwise, I'll have to spend a whole lot of time trying to learn to draw as well (HA!). Later tonight I'm gonna call my friend who works for Aurora Publishing, he's a producer (he also worked for TOKYOPOP for a while), I want to see what he thinks about my story and see if it's got potential. I'm thinking yes. Last year at Anime Expo I gave him a little blurb about my original novel idea, and he had mentioned to me then that it sounded great and that it could work as a manga too.
Anyway, so yeah, that's what's been going on with me so far. Nothing amazingly great, just little mundane stuff that really means a lot to me because it's stuff out side my current 'forced-norm'.
Well, I'm off to watch some T.V and play some games on my iPhone to pass the time. Then nap-time, and after that... I'm not sure yet, but I'm hoping it involves some yummy ice cream and a movie :)
Greetings from Chemo-land! If I don't seem too happy it's because I'm NOT! D:
I'm almost at the home stretch and yet these chemotherapy cycles keep getting harder and harder to handle.
Also, I woke up on the right side of cranky today and I just don't feel like my normal quirky with the side of chirpyness today...
Bleh. (Can't you tell from my 'happy' no-nonsense state?)
Meh. I'm the youngest one here too and all my chemo buddies are snoozing it off, which is what I should be doing too. Maybe that will improve my mood. If anything it will make these next 5 hours more bearable.
I am still unsure if I will be able to participate in this year's NaNoWriMo. I am hopeful, but realistically, I may not be able to complete it. I am still debating if I should give it a try either way... I suppose I should start making descisions soon since November 1st is just around the corner. Who knows? I just might make it this year...
Nothing new to report. I'm actually feeling much better today than I have in a while. I'm still trying to find a happy medium with my meds, but at least I got something that's working.
Work has been okay so far. Everyone has been super understanding and I'm doing things at my own pace, which is nice.
I'm still feeling pretty tired though... this has been my hardest cycle yet. Carlos has been doing everything, I almost feel bad. He's been pulling double daddy/husband duties. Don't know what I'd really do without him.
Hopefully I'll be feeling much better this weekend, cuz I gotta go buy a costume for the little one. She wants to be Spongebob :D - I still don't know what I'm gonna be, but what ever it is, it better be rocking!
Bleh. There's a pillow with my name on it and I can't wait to put my head to. Nap it is.
*hearts*
I want to sleep the dream of the apples,
to withdraw from the tumult of cemeteries,
I want to sleep the dream of that child
who wanted to cut his heart on the high seas.
I don't want to hear again that the dead do not lose their blood,
that the putrid mouth goes on asking for water.
I don't want to learn of the tortures of the grass,
nor of the moon with a serpent's mouth
that labors before dawn.
I want to sleep awhile,
awhile, a minute, a century;
but all must know that I have not died;
that there is a stable of gold in my lips;
that I am the small friend of the West wing;
that I am the intense shadow of my tears.
Cover me at dawn with a veil.
because dawn will throw fistfuls of ants at me.
and wet with hard water my shoes
so that the pincers of the scorpion slide.
For I want to sleep the dream of the apples,
to learn a lament that will cleanse me of the earth;
for I want to live with that dark child
who wanted to cut his heart on the high seas.
