Yeah yeah, I'm comin'

It's not that nothing has happened the last week, it's just that I've been to busy to make an entry. Here I am though. Safe and sound.

To tell you the truth, not much out of the ordinary has happened either. Wchool and stuff. Two things to report I guess. Kayoko has moved back to Japan (bye bye) and I have started my mission of learning how to draw. I have a few pictures which I will reluctantly show you. They are not very good, unless you consider the fact that they are my first. Here goes.
Yea, I have problems with proportions, hands, basic geometric shapes and all that jazz. But hey, I'm gonna practise.
About that, how's about another art contest as Littleoak suggested? You guys make a lion! Could be a cartoon, painting, sketch, manga style or whatever. Naturalistic or humanoid, you choose. One thing you will have to include is info on the picture/character.
Some background, some personal stuff, describe the world and surroundings he/she lives in. Let your creativity flow! Good ideas are as important as good art skills! I will give you two weeks. It doesn't have to be more elaborate than you want to make it.

Anyway, I do have more pictures from Russia.

--Drama students in the Kremlin!
Barbara liked the Kremlin.--





--Big gun!



This is a bird that lives in the Kremlin.--


--The Kremlin seen from the outside.




That's all I have for you today! Drop a comment, Save the cats and then start working on your contribution to the little contest.

See ya!

Typo Village

The other day we went to an island called Angelsey. We visited a village called.... LlanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllLlantysiliogogogoch.
Bloody hell. It must have been named by a cat on a keyboard!
Let me tell you something about English Breakfasts. First the word breakfast. Break the fast. Break the time of no eating, reffering to night time. Bacon, Sausage, beans, tomato, mushrooms, black pudding and egg. And tea. They have this breakfast on days when they don't want to stop for lunch. It works. By the time the sun sets I'm still digesting breakfast.

We saw hut circles where people lived 2500 years ago and watched over high cliffs. Pretty cool.




















The next day we went to Blackpool. Had some English Lunch and took a walk on the beach. I found a bit of polished glass.
I think during the last couple ofdays I have had more tea than I have in my whole life prior to this holiday.









Here is the picture that Hannah made for me. These characters are the characters we played in the old Vampire Live Roleplaying game. She made a comicbook cover! It is sooo cool! (Just so there are no confusions, I played the one on the right)
I'll tell you all about these characters later.

Save the cats!


See ya!

The Welsh.

Here I am in the north. I got on a bus a bit over 24 hours ago, went to visit Dee, Gra, Zoe and Aidan and all the animals. 7 cats and 3 dogs. Having a good time. Just to clear things up, they are not Welsh, I'm staying with them in Cheshire. They say that the welsh are odd people. There are a lot of sheep in whales... and they all look very frightened. I wonder what that means.
Anyway they took me to whales today and showed me some lovely scenery and an abbey. They will show me more stuff every day until I go back on Wednesday. I'll try to update this thing every day until then.







Guess what!? Kyle, the reinkarnation of Stalin, has had a baby! This is baby Vanessa. The labour lasted 15 minutes. Woosh!




I will put the russia pictures on hold, since I have these lovely English pictures to show you.

As an extra treat, Melus made me a nice cartoony picture of me!
She calls me "Guran" for speaking... about stuff with her. And here is the piccie.
Thanks!!

Also, Hannah gave me a really cool pic, but Alas, I have as of yet no digital copy of it. I shall show it to you when I do.

More russiapics in about a week.
Save the cats!
See ya!

Powerpuff!

New entry! I'll just lay some news and some russiapics on ye. I discovered a fantastic webcomic! The PowerPuff Girls!!! It is absolutely genious! The characters from the PowerPuff Girls and a lot of other Catrtoon Network series such as Dexter's Lab, Grim, Samurai Jack etc etc. All set some years later in a cute but gritty anime story. Wonderful, just wonderful!
Warning by the way. Today's russia-pictures might not be suitable for the weak-of-heart.

More stuff.. Yesterday morning I woke up to see Kayoko and Ruriko clean the house. I offered some help and they looked at me as if I was a cat offering to make dinner for a family of mice. A man offering to do housework was the freakiest thing they ever saw.

Littleoak has suggested an art contest and/or a quiz. What would you rather do, paint a picture of a lion or another kind of feline, or answer questions about same subject? Tell me! (Guest star on the left if Moffe the Wonderdog!)



In Moscow, my school put on a play, in which I did the lighting.
The play was Popcorn by Ben Elton. It had lots of Sex and Violence.

This is Sacha. He played the psychotic massmurderer Wayne. Would you invite this man over for crumpets? (The head in the plastic bag isn't real)

Agnes played Brooke. She was a supermodel, and as you see here, is shot in the stomach. The pic was taken after the play while Agnes was not in character (If you look carefully you will notice that she is not lying down).

The play had a really groovy epilouge scene with freaky light. It was very well recieved and many russians loved it, even though most couldn't even speak English.

Closeup on... Blood... on the wall... By the phone. I just though this picture looks kinda cool.

That's all for today! The secret stuff I won't tell you on the ground that it is secret, and you need to ask, and have access to highly classified information. Anyway, Save the cats!

See ya!
