Well hi freaks! Time to update this journal madness thing. As you can see, I changed the format of this thing a bit and added anchors so you've got some more navigational control. Blame my web design class.

Costume Progress


Thaaaaat's right. If you haven't been keeping up with my UStream or Flickr gallery, I've been hard at work with my latest Pokemon costume project, a Groudon head (apparently named Fred). It's been a lot of fun working with him so far and I make progress every Saturday. Make sure you watch my page for the broadcast schedule. Next project is a commissioned Charizard head which will be the subject of my much needed moving jaw and head building tutorial.

Double Snow Day

Weeee! Snnoooow! Colorado's got lots of it, though it's practically all gone now. A good foot and a half in some places. It was enough to cancel school for two days which is super crazy because it's so rare that the school is ever shut down. On top of this we have Institute Day (which is like a teacher work day) so no class for me on Monday either! One would think that I have enough time with all this to get work done but oooh no. I never have time to do anything, don't get your hopes up. Those notes and comments have only gone up from the last journal. I'll get to some tonight but it's so hard struggling through them all.

Foam Video on YouTube

And now the big announcement of the week, I have a new YouTube video up! This was all recorded back in September after Nan Desu Kan before I moved out of the dorms but I held off uploading it for a month because of the daunting evil task of throwing subtitles in there. *shivers* That process is entirely too difficult to get through... however it's my own fault for making the video too long and too awesome. If you're looking to be entertained for 10 minutes spare some time and watch: CanineHybrid's YouTube

<-lol, they're kissing XD

Halloween

Of course Halloween. Oh joyus Halloween. I'd like to say it's my favorite holiday, but it turns out not near as cool as it could have been with each passing year... *sigh* Well we started off the evening with my Saturday UStream session, not working on costumes this time, but participating in the spirit of the holiday by carving pumpkins!

UStream Guests:


However, nothing really went to plan. Typical.

Friday night Ani was hanging out for a bit and Rey and Sorin came up. We all went to Safeway looking for pumpkins (Ani pimped out as Team Magma and I as Charizard) but they fail at life and didn't have any. We bought Underworld: Rise of the Lycans for our movie night and then headed over to King Soopers. Luckily they had pumpkins.

Saturday we got up a bit late but got the UStream going. We sat down to gut the pumpkins and designed our patterns. We were waiting for my sister to come down from Boulder but due to fail planning and the fact that I didn't have a printer, our pumpkin carving started so late that we didn't finish. We also had a pretty awesome set-up on the porch thanks to Sorin's fog machines, blacklight, and creepy dead dude but we only had 5 trick-or-treater groups the whole night. Wah?! Why? Where was everyone? It wasn't even COLD this year compared to most.
We caught the last failing hour of a party we were invited to by .

Overall it could have been much better, but I think it was a step up on the fun scale from last year. Next year, I'm DEFINITELY entering a costume contest. I would love some compensation for all the hard work and money I put into my costumes

Art Feature

This month's art feature goes to a bunch of people instead of focusing on one gallery, and the theme is "art for me" simply because I've gotten so much all of a sudden. A lot of the drawings are what Ani and I have received over the last few days due to the AWESOME Foam Video on YouTube. I was so not expecting all of this! Thanks to everyone; you get some major awesome points. I'll of course get around to making individual comments as soon as I find the time. I absolutely love each one of them!

Check these out!
