Christmas Time is Almost Here!

Ok, I'm a lazy blogger.  I admit it.

I had a job from September to yesterday actually.  I was tutoring at Bloomfield for the semester.  Well, it was more like being a teacher's assistant during CAT 134 the Drawing for 2D Animation class.  It was a lot of fun.  I'm waiting to here news on if I will be doing it again next semester or not.
I'm still working at Aloha.  It's going alright.  I'm not a huge fan, but it's a job, so I really can't complain.
Also, I'm now working on a project for a web series.  I'm going to create a stop motion introduction animation for them.  I'm not getting paid, but it's something to do.
I did have an interview for a full time flash animator position.  I'm hoping I hear back from them soon.

Aside from work stuff, I won a contest on Wednesday!  The 10th day of the American Made Matters 12 days of giveaways.  I'm so happy!  I won some very cool prizes such as an alpaca scarf and a tub of Knex! 

Christmas is coming up.  I have everyone's gifts all wrapped and ready to go.  I can't wait!

Summer Summer

Well summer has been here.  I haven't done too much.
Let's see, I went to see some fireworks yesterday.  They were really pretty.  We got seats really close and the fireworks were so big!
I also went into the city yesterday for the Wii U Experience.  That was so much fun.  They has a lot of yummy snacks like cotton candy and fruit.  And i got to play the Wii U!  I played Just Dance, Mario, and Wii Fit!  I even won a prize while playing Mario.  I got a mini Koopa figure!  He's so cute.  I put him by my Peach and Luigi figures.  They also gave out mushroom cake pops on the way out.  They were delicious!

Today I watched some of Paradise Farm.  It's such a good drama and it has my favorite, most wonderful, Shim Changmin in it!  I love him so much <3
I also inflated my exercise ball.  It was a real workout hand pumping it, my arms are so tired.  That's probably the biggest workout I'll get from it, hahaha.  Well, I'll see :)

Tomorrow I'm going to see the Newsies with my mom.  I'm so excited.  I loved the movie, so I'm sure I'll reallllly love the play!  Well, that's all for now.

WIlderbrook

Hey everyone.  Capstone was night at Bloomfield College.  I went to check out everyone's projects.  I also worked with Brian Wilbur on his capstone, Wilderbrook.  Wilderbrook is an upcoming game for Xbox Live Indie Games.  I worked on character animation, seed designs, seed effects, collectables, saw blades, and the menu and pause screens.  You can check out Wilderbrook's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Wilderbrook and if you like the page you have a chance to win a free copy of the game when it's released!
Capstone night was a lot of fun.  It was great seeing my professors and classmates again!  The food was good too.

I also added Wilderbrook to my website! Yay!

Website Stuff

I updated my website.  No more splash page and no more home page.  It goes right to my art work and then there is a me section.  I wanted to put my art in pop up things, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.  Maybe one day.  For now, everything is its own page.  If you have any comments or critiques, please let me know.  I think it looks much better than it did and it is also a lot easier to navigate.

Work is going okish.  I'm really not a fan of children.  I don't want to teach, but a job's a job.  I'm trying to find something better, but it isn't going well.

That's all for now.

Internet Dating

So, I know I haven't been on much.  I just wanted to share a recent conversation from pof.  Enjoy.

Good lord my heavenly blessed beauty who's beauty is divine and everlasting. If there were ever a picture beside the word "cute" in that heavy @$$ book that Webster published it would be those earrings you're sporting in your profile pic

Cheers

LOL do you eat SPAM for breakfast. Don't copy and paste your shit here.

If by copy and paste you mean write from the bottomless pit of love known as my heart where I would cherish you for all eternity and have our souls entangled into one singular being where the mere sight of you would completely drive me into a euphoric coma just for the fact that I found you so absolutely irresistible in every way shape and form as you turned my ups to downs and lefts to blues causing me to lose sense of time and reality.

Then yes, it is a unique take on copy and paste.

This was the weirdest shit ever.  Don't message people like this, please.

 

End of November

Well, Florida was a lot of fun.  I went to Disney World with my mom.  We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge which was a lot of fun.  We could see many different animals from our room!  Giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and more!

Here's a view from the room.

It was Christmas time in Disney, so we did Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.  It was a lot of fun, but very crowded.  We also saw all the pretty Christmas lights in Hollywood Studios.

Free Cookies and Hot Chocolate!

So pretty.

For Thanksgiving, it was just my immediate family, my sister's fiance's family, and a friend.  There was a lot of delicious food.  We went Black Friday shopping too.  I went to Best Buy at midnight and picked up a limited edition Zelda 3DS.  We went to other stores too, but I didn't buy much else.  I did get a free snowglobe from JCPenny's though.

Lately, I've just been playing games on my 3DS.  I love it.  I usually keep the 3D very low or off though.  It's cool, but it gets a bit too much after a while for me.  I'm at the water temple now on Zelda Ocarina of Time.  Playing it again brings back a lot of memories.  I've also been playing Nintendogs.  My friend got it for me as a Christmas gift.  I have a Shiba named Oreo.  She's so cute!

That's all for now.

11/11/11

Happy Veterans Day!  And Happy 11/11/11!

So I can eat gluten!  Yay!  I love my ramen!  All my bloodwork came out normal.  Now I have no idea what's wrong with me.  It's very frustrating.  I obviously have a problem and no one can tell me what it is.

Anyway, I went to Philadelphia on Wednesday.  I went to the Christopher Paolini book signing.  I'm so happy Inheritance came out!  I'm only 100 or so pages in (I'm a slow reader) but it's very good so far.  I'm so happy I got a chance to meet Christopher and have him sign my book!

He also signed my copy of Eragon.  I would have had him sign Eldest and Brisingr, but a little girl like me has trouble holding all four of these books at the same time.  Walking with them through Philadelphia would have been an even bigger problem.  The event was a lot of fun.  Christopher gave a lecture and it was very entertaining.  I also met a girl who was really into the series and we talked a bit.  I can't wait to read the rest of Inheritance!

Anyway, not up to much besides reading, playing Harvest Moon Hero of Leaf Valley, and working on some animation for Wilderbrook.  I'm going to Florida next week.  That should be fun.
