Hopefully no one saw the first draft I put up last night. This is a picture I drew on the computer. There's still a few things off with the perspective, but I'm tired of editing it. If you're curious I drew it first in MS Paint (hence the rough lines) and then shaded it, did the reflections, etc in Photoshop.
[UPDATE: Though I told myself I wasn't going to waste any more time on this picture, I fixed a few more things, which most people probably wouldn't notice but make me feel better.]
A couple months ago my roommate and I threw a party that only one guest came to. You remember that story in the bible about the man who invites rich friends to come to his party but no one comes, so he turns to the poor? Well, I thought that by going directly to the poor to begin with (my college student friends) I was following the message of that parable. But as it turned out even the poor didn't come. So this time around when I threw my Veteran's Day party I invited my rich celebrity friends, who all came.
I really like the dragon I drew, even though he definitely should have had a second hind leg. Anyway, I wanted to give him a name for the credits of the video, but I couldn't think of anything. Suggestions?
Kevin's little brother turns 20 today, but he's overseas in Europe for the semester, so Kevin thought we should make him a b-day video. It's not a spectacular video by any means, but I like the animation in the beginning. It doesn't make any sense, but here it is.
[UPDATE: Here's a shortened version with just the animation, so for my readers who don't know Robbie, you're not forced to watch the second half. And as my readers are, well, pretty much my sisters and mom, this applies to pretty much anyone watching.]
The day after Halloween I went to the grocery store to take advantage of the reduced-price candy. Unfortunately there wasn't much of a selection, but I bought some anyway. After going home and eating one of my "Special Dark" Hershey bars, I realized that, since Milka, I can't eat a plain Hershey bar (even if it is "Special Dark.") Not wanting to eat the rest of the bar and also not wanting to waste it, it dawned on me that chocolate and coffee could go well together.
Actually, it wasn't that great at all and I only drank one cup from the pot. I figured I'd save the rest for later. When I went back the next day to reheat the leftover coffee (which Justine would say is always a no-no), this is what I saw:
So I'm not sure if that's mold or just the separation of the chocolate into cocoa, sugar and wax, but I was too disgusted to reheat it.
Halloween was pretty disappointing for me this year. I hit a creativity low.
