Taking a break from drawing to do this cool meme I stole from oceanica:

( Music stuff )

Anyway, posted two new commissions on my deviantArt site. I'm too lazy to upload them and post there here, so I'll just link to DA. This one is for kemono_art, and this one is for mikasaigo.

I'm going to be doing some World of Warcraft stuff for katsudon, jaysummers, and dalac, as a sort of self-promotion. I might wait until all three are done, though, before I post them. Want to try and make them fairly consistent, quality-wise. I haven't worked on any of those today, though. I've instead been doing sketches and thumbnails for a super secret project I'm working on! Actually, it's not secret at all. I just don't know if I will be able to pull it off, so I'm not going to say too much about it. Suffice to say it has to do with "The Crane Wife", by the Decemberists. &hearts

I'm really obsessed with that band lately, partly because they have a beautiful sound, and partly because the stories they tell with their songs are so intriguing! There's all kinds of cool imagery in songs like "We Go Down Together", "A Cautionary Song", "O Valencia", "Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)", "Red Right Ankle", and the list goes on and on. *swoons* God, I'm such a dork.

Not much exciting going on, which is of course fine with me. Drawing, RPing at damned (where all kinds of craziness has been going on!), walking the dogs... Today we went on a... like, three and a half hour walk, I think. Geh. I thought it would only take about two and a half hours to get to Boulder Bookstore and back, but I was working on loose-leash walking with the beasts, so that took some time. I picked up a new copy of Howl's Moving Castle, partly because nijiirono (curse her!!) has been trying to get me to app Howl at damned, and partly because I just really love the book and have been wanting to read it again. I think I will bookmark any pages that are particularly pertinent to Howl's personality or history, just in case I actually do decide to app him. I just don't know if I would do a good job, since he's a lot smarter than I am, lol. ^^; Plus, I'm not sure if I should really spend the time to play a second character... But I do love Howl so...

Nick and I started watching Darker Than Black (黒の契約者) the other night. Only watched two episodes, but it was interesting. No fan service or giggling, wide-eyed girls, which was nice. I guess I just don't have the attention span I used to, but I can't watch a lot of anime any more. I still love to read manga, but I just can't deal with the rubbish that goes into a lot of anime. And other TV shows/movies, for that matter. Especially if there are commercials. Then I'm gone. >_>

Um, what else? Obedience classes are going well! I think we have the best behaved dogs there, haha. X3 Although they're also the oldest, so that accounts for a lot of the spazziness on the part of the other dogs. The trainer has all kinds of useful tips and things, though, so we've been trying to employ as many of them as possible. I was doing some loose-leash walking with the dogs in the park yesterday, and this one woman (who has a rotten little ankle-biter of a dog) was like, "Oh, doing some training?" I said, "Always. The training never stops." Because that's how it is if you want a civilized dog. I'd like to try for the AKC Canine Good Citizen test eventually. I think with a little more training Guy has a really good shot at passing. Azu would be a little harder, only because hse was never properly socialized. She can do all the tricks, but she's incredibly nervous around people she doesn't know very well. So she will need a lot more work and time. Hopefully someday she won't be such a wuss. ^^

Nick's picking up pizza tonight for dinner. Yum! :q I'm gonna get back to drawing for a while before he gets home. Maybe I can talk him into watching Howl's Moving Castle tonight...
