Numb

I'm a little distraught this morning, and I have been for the past couple of days. One of the people I admire the most might be very sick. He's currently taking medical examinations to see if he has Lou Gehrig's disease. This is a terrible disease that causes the body to slowly lose all function in movement and soon breathing. The hardest part is the person is completely aware that all of this is happening since intelligence isn't affected. Once diagnosed half of the people die within 2-3 years.

I have been pretty numb since I found out that he might have this disease. I thought I could cheer him up by getting him a "don't give up" card, but he was out again today. I'm really worried. He seems to have given up. Before I knew, I never noticed the constant phone calls causing him to leave class or sitting by himself during break times. I thought he was just getting ready for an opening or something or he was absent because of the commute.

I hope to have a follow up post exclaiming all the tests are negative. I really do hope.

2-D animation at Disney?!?

Okay quick post. I hope this is true.

This is a dream come true. I might have a job after all lol.

My Valentine

Your little squeaks

And partial smile

Greets me perfectly when I wake

You jump with utter glee

Then you chew on my sleeve

While I just smile at the nibble

Long hours away

Yet you always wait for me

I love you and kiss you everyday

Cuddle and hold you close

You're my manly sassy Xiao Bao

My true valentine

Happy Valentines Day little cream puff!

Sleep Sleep

I've been so busy lately that I think my brain is about to melt.

Finished the rough sketch of Free Comic Book Day thing. It's four pages= $100 :( The sad thing is it's not my best work. The hard part is it's about 30 pages after of what is online right now. I want to get the in-between pages online before Free Comic Book Day. Otherwise people will get an unintentional spoiler. I'm very tempted to trash the whole idea and just create a little skit for the freebie. Well, I have until Monday.....

I'm very tempted to buy the debut pack from this software.

It seems to be great for creating manga, but I'm still thinking of diverging from that style. I really should just stick to traditional materials. I bought some Ph Dr. Martin's ink to try and start learning to paint in the character in oh mighty color. I'll tell you how it turns out.

Yay! During Spring Break, I'm going to California to visit my relatives and finally see CalArts. I'm really nervous because my work is nowhere near their caliber. Plus, the tuition can make babies cry.

Who Should Paint You: Gustav Klimt

Sensual and gorgeous, you would inspire an enchanting portrait..With just enough classic appeal to be hung in any museum!

What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?

Damn Right!

Punxsutawney Phil and more

Well knowing how sometimes little old Phil can get the forecast wrong, I checked out my own little critter.

I woke up and saw Xiao Bao hiding under his gate. Xiao Bao saw his shadow!

which means....as my sister said....

12 more weeks of Xiao Bao (I have no idea what that means lol)

Watched the Asian Excellence Awards on AZN last night. Pretty wacky award show. I mean the honor awards given were quite weird.

"The Remy Martin® X.O Honors were presented for Inspiration to renowned AIDS researcher Dr. David Ho, for Visibility for actress Lucy Liu and for Bridge (bridging cultures) to writer/director Quentin Tarantino."

Dr. Ho getting the award for his research is very respectable.....but Tarantino and Lucy Liu? Even Quentin felt terribly embarassed because he didn't save millions of lives lol.
Stephen Chow won for best movie performance and best movie. (Now I know why I thought this year's Oscar noms was missing something...they didn't pick Kung Fu Hustle for best Foreign Film. The atrocity!!!!!)

Linkin Park won for best live performance. Fort Minor did a performance at the show. It was not intentionally hilarious, but when rappers in long jeans and gear play the violin, it's just too bizzarre lol. Pretty fun show for....asians I guess lol. Final thought....Bai Ling is very slutty.
