One of my pictures on Day Three (of the Week in the Life meme) featured a very poorly drawn horse with the caption “Demented Horse is HERE.”

Now I will tell the story of the origins of the Demented Horse.

Oh, dear. )

Meanwhile, my ankle is still waking me up and sending me hobbling for painkillers and a bag of frozen vegetables (substitute ice pack) every morning. I can't live like this. Time for an amputation!
Week in the Life

Rules:
1. You must take between 6 and 8 new photographs per day.
2. Your WITL must be consecutive. No skipping days.
3 You must post your photographs at the end of that day, sometime after the last picture is taken.
4 Each photograph must have the time taken beneath and a title, with no other explanation.
(though file names are almost always a clue with me...)

Day 3 )

I did really well on my phlebotomy test today. Yay! (He went over them after we all finished, and he let us correct our own tests instead of handing them out to other people THANK GOD I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT.)

I MAILED THINGS TODAY. Technically Aniko did, actually. I GAVE ANIKO THINGS AND SHE MAILED THEM TODAY is a bit wordy, though, isn't it?


I totally had something else I wanted to say but now I've completely forgotten it.


BACK TO THE VIDEO GAMING, THEN.
True to my word, I watched Top Gear clips on YouTube for much of the afternoon (one of them was the race from Italy to the restaurant in London. I love that one. I tried to inflict it on my brother, but I don't think he watched it. What a spoilsport). I think I successfully banished Gene, but now I am tired and must go to bed.

Aside from that, my day was mostly uneventful. ... Well, actually, ...no, I guess it wasn't. I came downstairs to find my mother shouting over the radio to mock whatever baseball team it was that lost a game last night (okay, "AND ATE IT!" was pretty unexpected and funny to suddenly hear that from her).

Besides that, I'm going through MORE BOXES of stuff, and one of them held binders full of things from about 1999 to 2004. All from school, so notes and random doodles and such.

The contents made me happy! )


... So you'd think, all that considered, that today would have been a good day, yes? No. Despite all of this, I really feel a bit awful today.

In which Jecca is a whiny brat with emotional problems. )

BUT OKAY! We are done with that. Moving on with life!

Probably about time, anyway.


Tomorrow I will work on "GT" more. Really need to get going on that, since I've made absolutely no progress the last few days.

Edit:
More things that make Jecca happy: this YouTube video. She grins every time she ends up following a link to this video, because the text in the video cracks her up every time. And, of course, the sound-clip from the original cartoon at the very end will never not be hilarious. ("I lactate geometry"! XD)

Despite what the tag might imply, this entry has nothing to do with dolphins and most certainly nothing to do with Ecco the Dolphin. You'll just have to take me at my word: they (read: Ecco) ruined my life.

Finally got around to going to the bank and checking my account balance to see how much damage the BotCon registration actually did. (...I should probably be more grateful for these eight-hour shifts at work, all things considered!) I'm still a little nervous, since I'm not going to know anyone there and I can be overwhelmed by crowds, but it's going to be worth it. I knew that, but now the first images of the convention exclusives are up here on the BotCon website and man, Dirge looks pretty. I do not care that his wings have not been remolded. I will not care if Thrust's wings are not remodeled. I do not care! They are pretty and they are the remaining three jets and they are mine and oh yeah, I guess there are those other guys, too.


WORK.

I have eight hours shifts on Saturday and Sunday! What?! I asked for less time this weekend! What would they do if I asked for more? Fire me? Augh! How am I supposed to write twenty pages worth of research paper if I'm working all day and coming home exhausted from standing for eight hours?! Fragger!

I finished early again, so I did more writing. You can see it here. (EDIT: edited to be upright!) Along with baking notes and positions they're currently hiring for.

Or, for those of you who find my scrawl unintelligible (I can write neatly, I just don't bother if I'm sure no one else is going to be trying to read it) and actually want to be able to... you know, read it. Here it is again! )


I do not entirely consider myself a bad ... sketcher (I am not an artist, I just like to doodle), but I have become inordinately fond of Ridiculous Stick Figures. I draw them everywhere, and I have started adding traits to them when they are supposed to actually represent someone. For example, because I play a Mithra in Final Fantasy XI (most of the time, anyway),* I add Mithra ears and sometimes a tail to "me" (like so). Sometimes when I am bored, and because I am not much for real identifying features when I am doodling in class, apparently, they end up on other images. (Sometimes I do stick figures and non-stick figures all at once, too.)

It it fun. Or I am easily entertained.


*I actually have three characters. My main is Hisime, who is adorable and also camera-shy (and I only have one full screenshot of her current outfit uploaded? Wow, I'm slacking off in my blatant favoritism), my second is Ayarei, who is an Elvaan and not sure why she puts with with the silliness of the other two, and my third is Kihara, who is a tremendous goof and who has a younger sister (it's Ki on the right and Nomii on the left), or so we pretend.

I cannot believe this was all online already (er, with the exception of the writing-bit, because I made that today, obviously). I have got to clean out my PhotoBucket account, as I obviously have no idea what's in there anymore.

You can tell I am brain dead and bored from working on my reports because I added entirely too many image links to this entry. My apologies, and don't feel obligated to look at any of the FFXI ones. ^^;
