Greek sword plus other stuff

Check this out. -> My li'l bro made this at his friend's dad's warehouse the other day. It's a Greek short sword, see? I was fairly impressed with the little bugger... and especially since he wants to paint it now. He nevah does art projects willingly... so I was like, 'Yeah, go for it!' First we gotta get our hands on some metallic bronze paint. That would be awesome. He wants black for the handle and bronze for the blade. *is proud, ruffles his hair*

Also: some things that I'm working on... Cairi's grad gift, which is coming along great and is gonna be so cool... some Artemis Fowl-related fanart doodles, inspired by my recent re-reading of the Time Paradox (ARTXHOLLY FO' EVAH!!!), flippin' awesome school project that I can't wait to show you guys, and a piano arrangement for the Secret Garden song, "Prayer". Most beautiful sound EVAH. Go listen to it immediately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih3aAx-S5xg Yess. I'm trying to arrange THAT for piano. 'Trying' being the operative word here. XD It's actually not going too badly... I can sing the solo voice part, after all, and the piano can pick up the other voices. I looove this piece... *hugs it*
Other stuff: some art pieces in the planning... Pendragon scribbles, mostly Kasha, since I finally got the Books of the Travelers thingies and the first one has a believable picture of her on the cover... fanart for Hannaliese, another school friend, who is in wub wid Germany and all her kickbutt characters are German and amazing and have handguns (I love those guys... especially Arlene and Aryann)... um, er, what else? Ah yes, the long-procrastinated Guardians Versus Warriors pic. I'm a tetch scared o' that un, porque sera muy dificil dibujar. I did a short study a while ago on cats and owls, but it was sich a short study tha' I doubt et ded any guid a'tall. Anyway, it's in the lineup for... eventually. Also, I really need to draw my four lovelies from Savvy. I tried a while back, but it was such an epic fail that I gave up. Timo looks quite demented. I shall have another go at some later date.
Gotta go memorize my lines for the epic skit we're doing for Spanish 2. It has to do with airplanes, and Ipods, and sandwiches con carne, y un vegetariana (yo) who gets to freak out over the meat-based menu. And hand sanitizer. *cackles gleefully* Sera muy divertido indeed.
Commander Kip the DONE WITH THE SPANISH FINAL WOOOOOT!
Total Pwnage.
Normal is overrated!

Hi Commander Kip! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I've been scrolling down and your artwork is really good! So cool to know you're working on a novel. I hope it's going well :-)

Hey, no problem! Your blog is fascinating. Thanks for looking at my art... and writing an awesome book. *hugs her copy of Blackbringer*

I would love to have my novel published someday... hehe... but in that case, I'll have to finish writing it first. I'm in the middle of Chapter 5, first draft. Sigh. Your not-for-robots blog inspired me greatly, by the way.

Interestingness: all my best ideas for my novel are for the end of the book, or near the end. I got nuthin' fer the middle. Have you ever had this issue?

Hey Kip! Love the sword your bro made!! You'll have to show it to me sometime! and Hi Laini -- I too am a great fan of you blogs and books! I'm so excited for Silksinger to come out!! Your blogs have been really helpful to me in my attemt at stories.... my problem is I have lots of ideas for the longterm plot... but I don't really know how to put that into diologue and actions and actually write the story!

There you are, Lady Arin! I thought you'd gone and died or something. Hi.

Yeah, I am in a complete frenzy of impatience for Silksinger! Gaah! Have you seen the cover art? It's so flippin' cool!

You, my dear Lady, have the reverse of my writing problems. I can think of all sorts of random action and dialogue... but hardly any plot. We should collab. XD
