Neverwhere

So right before break, Matt told me that Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere had been turned into a BBC radio show. I hadn't read Neverwhere, but I listened to it over break anyway, and it was so friggen incredible. So many sexy accents, I can't even. James McAfriggenvoy, you guys. Oh God. 

Anyway, I drawled these pictures while I was listening, because apparently I am incapable of sitting still and doing nothing with my hands. First impressions of Richard and Door:

Richard:

Door:

And then I went and purchased a used paperback copy of the book for less than five dollars and drew Door again. The part at the very beginning where she's running from Croup and Vandimar in the sewers.

I know the book says she has short hair, but I keep picturing her with some longer tendrils. Dunno why.

And then, on a completely different subject, our Teen Titans extended marathon is going swimmingly, and by swimmingly I mean very very slowly. But it is going. And I just want to say that every episode I see is further re-convincing me that Robin and Raven are seriously a thing. I mean, in Switched, I was so pissed because at the end when they swapped bodies back, Raven was the one who saved Robin from falling to his death, but since she was in Starfire's body at the time, Star got all the credit. Gosh darn it. Also, Raven has actual hand-to-hand combat skills. Because she's that badass.

And on another completely unrelated note, I drew another mug shot self-portrait and only liked this part, so this part's the only part you get to see.

The end. Have a nice day.

Thing of the Day: Steam Powered Giraffe

My friends are so cool. They showed me this song, and now I just want to listen to it over and over until I die.

THE FACE PAINT. AND THE MOVEMENTS. AND THE EVERYTHING. GAAH. Unfortunately, I listened to some other Steam Powered Giraffe songs and didn't like any of them as much as Honeybee. Darn. But Honeybee is fantastic, and also the Thing of the Day.

Speaking of robot face paint, we had free face painting the other day and I had this done to my face.

Pretty great, no? In other news, I went home for spring break and was greeted by a snowstorm.

A week later, by Easter Sunday, it was full-on springtime.

...And then I came back to school and it was cold and damp, gosh darn it. There's like three inches of wet, heavy snow on the ground right now. I like snow, but I'm not a huge fan of slush. Just saying.

We had our Bi-Dormal Formal dance last weekend, and I got some classy pictures of my friends. Here, have an Anna. She looks British. Probably because of the shawl. I am married to this, you guys. *winning*

Alex, my little brother, and Katia, my mistress. We're all related in Kildahl. It's fine.

Matt and I. Yes, I re-purpled my hair.

Darling Claire. We love her because she feeds us foods. Also because she's a delightful person.

 Anna again, looking sexy with a bow tie. Bow ties should always be worn with little black dresses, obviously.

I might post again tonight. Got some drawrings to showya.

Goin' to the monastery tomorrow for Great Con! Woot!

Thing of the Day: SUNSHINE

You know what I was missing at college, that I didn't realize I was missing until I lived at home for a week?

Sunshine.

I missed it.

It was seventy degrees and sunny at home. I went outside without a parka. I wore a sleeveless dress on Easter and sunburnt my collarbones. It was wonderful. And although I didn't mind the snow before I left for break, coming back to more cold weather was hard.

So I dug through my files and pulled out some sunshiny pictures to console myself with. Sunshine, ladies and gents, is the Thing of the Day.

Ah. I feel better now. Back to work!

Oh, and I listened to the BBC Radio production of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, and it had James McAvoy and Benedict Cummerbatch and Christopher Lee in it, and hooboy it was awesome. Then I sallied forth and purchased a copy of the book forthwith. I really should read more Neil Gaiman. The dude's a brilliant genius. There will be Neverwhere art. It's inevitable.

But first, perhaps a shower.
