Heh, yeah, just thought I'd point this site out. =P I think I smell future wallpapers....

Draco's snuggled against my chest. He's so freaking cute.

I'm pretty much 90% done with my glorified Brainsick character sketch collage thing. It focuses on the main characters / those characters who are the most plot-important: Paranoid, Lily, Finch, Chestan, Fieran, Rant, Depravity, and Gap. All the birds - Celeste, Char Coal, Memory, and Hema - have been included, because they're awesome. I looove working with ballpoint, markers, and white out. Love love love.

Gap is fun to draw, poor thing. She has a deep, pit-like scar over her forehead close to her left eye, which is blue. Her right eye is brown and permanently dilated. She has pretty markings and blends in well with her environment. Despite her mental deficiency, she is very fast and easily eludes capture. Woo hoo! Oh, and her tail has a kink in it and is held to the left.

SO, I'll go finish that up. I want to sketch more in my sketchbook, too.... And make more portfolio stuff.

Drove with Dad down McCourtney to Grass Valley, picked up a new harness and muzzle for Lupin, a few things in Dollar Tree. Dad said I drove well. Walked Lupin after watching The X-Files ("Blood", which I have now seen three times).

Mulder: "You know, Frohike, it's men like you who give perversion a bad name." XD

Danielle called me back and she's coming over tomorrow, along with some more chickens for Patty. AND WHOA! Brandon, Patty knows you! You guys both go to the Calvary Chapel. CRAZY.

I need to visit my friends more. Must drive, must get license!

My college goal is to get into Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. I could live with Grandma Jo, Grandma Ruthie, and Grandpa Jeff, and they're willing to help pay the cost. Speaking of college expenses, that scholarship / grant / loan seminar I attended on Sunday (with Mom and Dad) really opened my eyes about the matter. I had no idea previously what the family's 'need' was or how to calculate it, and I didn't know that some colleges cover 100% of your need. What a breath of fresh air! I'd still like to try to go to Sierra first - I'd be with friends, and it'd help me get used to the college environment, I think - but for now I just need to focus on getting my license.

WELL! Now I shall talk a bit about Freeway. Damn entertaining movie. Dad had it on as he talked to a Wild Blue employee (they're screwing us, basically, but it's a long story), and I listened to it as I searched the guide, eventually sitting down to see what happened next. Kiefer Sutherland and Reese Witherspooon star; Witherspoon is a teen from a broken home who is picked up after her car breaks down by a man who happens to be a serial killer (Sutherland). She shoots him in self-defense and is jailed for it.

Now, the interesting thing about Freeway is that it's actually very corny in places, over-the-top. But that's one reason why it's so entertaining. Witherspoon's character, Vanessa, screams her lungs out at almost everyone, wields handguns, and beats the shit out of anyone who offends her. It's over-the-top in such a manner that you think for a second, Was this based on a true story? Honestly, it's good. Sutherland's character, Bob, is a child psychologist, one of those wonderful, friendly people you love and trust, but... he's a serial killer. GAH I'm so glad we recorded it!

Why are so many of my favorite movies about serial killers? I know it's connected to my not wanting to be in a relationship....

Freeway is a modern twist on "Little Red Riding Hood". ...And the score is partially done by Danny Elfman. COME ON, who couldn't love Danny Elfman?! ANYWAY. SO FUCKING ENTERTAINING! It's hilarious, too.... All its over-the-top bits. GREAT performances all around. It's a thriller-comedy. Good stuff, GREAT one-liners.

And now I shall watch more X-Files, 'cause it's good for my brain.

Oh, one more thing. Kiefer Sutherland is awesome. I LOVE him in Dark City as gimpy, tweaky-eyed Dr. Schreber.

Writing notes on a biography of Shakespeare for an open-note test tomorrow. Feh.

And SHIIIIIT, Mom's got me hooked on House. DAMN HER! <3 <3 <3 ...Hugh Laurie played Jasper in the live action version of 101 Dalmatians. HOJEEZ.

House's colleagues, referring to a patient: "We have rectal bleeding."

House: "All of you?"

XD!!! He's SUCH a bastard.

Watched three taped episodes of The X-Files after school today. MULDER CAME BACK TO LIFE! 0___o

I am boring! ^___^

And I'm screwed.... It's the senior project. My field hours total three. The process journals are due NEXT FRIDAY. I bet you anything I'm not graduating on June 9. I suck. I don't know who the hell I'm going to interview, either. Time is running. Out.

Hmmm, now to finish these notes. Fifty points for the notes, fifty points for tomorrow's test. Bleeeh!
