Concave world

Lots has happened since the last time I posted. Schoolwork, part-time job, internships all collborate to make my 24 hours/day vanish in an instant. Roommate drama every other day (which makes me semi-uncomfortable whenever other people come to me to talk; but then I'm also glad I'm helping someone else). And I'm also in another depressive rut, so it doesn't help to feel as though I can't tell anyone about my issues...since they all seem to have their own. Tried talking to my parents, but then they told me that I have nothing to be depressed about. Which I suppose it true; there are plenty of people in this world worst off than I.

Other things:

-National Geographic magazine has become a picture book. They were never strictly an 'academic' magazine, but I wish they had more articles instead of these short sections that hover around the contents page....feeding us trivial tid-bits of information. Though I do applaud the way they try to bring important and pressing issues to the general public....because heck knows the U.S. public schools aren't telling the kids anything about greenhouse effect, slave labour, water shortages, etc. Oh, U.S., your universities are outstanding, but a lot of your public schools are in the dumps.

-I finished watching the Gurren Lagann series....I almost cried at the ending. It's probably that time-of-the-month for me, or it could be because the series ended on such a bittersweet note. But, the fall anime season has started and I'm looking forward to a few titles. Namely, Gundam 00. There are so many Gundam series that its almost become humourous, but I'm curious to see how long it take before the fandom starts shipping characters together in fanfiction. One episode? The second?

Hm, better get back on track with the class readings....midterm on the upcoming tuesday. Also, the class has a web conference with students in Hong Kong (homeland, 852ers!) during the evening so I better prep some "insightful" questions. Pft, like ask them how whether Marks and Sparks (aka Marks and Spencer) still sell those delicious tea biscuits. Or perhaps I should ask whether the girlies are still wearing those horrible looking balloon short shorts?

Anyways, just testing my Wacom tablet right now.....its like drawing on butter. And I'm capable of drawing with much more detail this time around! Another picture of Aein, but the design is revisited a bit. He has shorter hair this time, and the hairstyle is asymetrical. I wish I could draw more often, but everything is so damn time consuming....
