Canadians Everywhere!

Right, no pics today I'm afraid. I'm tired and I want to go to bed (all together now!) Ahem. Anyway. Last time I showed you a lady named Kate Leth, from Canada. Today, I discovered the aristic talents of another lady from Canada, called Brinny Langlois. Now I don't know what it is, whether it's the weather, the water, the maple syrup or the moose jerky, but by Gad these Canucks can draw some bloody beautiful comics! Brinny's art is beautifully simple, cute, and her comics are very funny! I enjoy reading comics that are effortlessly funny like hers. They don't appear every minute of every day, they come when they come, and they're good as a result. She draws single images as well, to keep the site filled with yumminess! :) Read these websites, enjoy these young ladies' art and talent, and then go and make some gorgeous artwork of your own! Don't just sit there like a lump saying "Oh I wish i could draw!" Go and bloody well use up some paper and get yourself online! I will if you will :) Anyway, tomorrow I have a busy day planned, I'm moving to York on Monday! Woohoo! Brillo pads! :D Tata for now gorgeous people! Jx

Back to crafts!

So I've started tablet weaving again! I was feeling ill, which is when I seem to do crafty things like this, I'm not sure why! But i've made a couple of narrow bands, blue and white chevrons, and another one with an orange border, which isn't quite done yet!
That's it :) There's also a rather exciting development going on. I'm a student again! Woohoo! Off to York to do a Master's Degree :D The housing is developing slowly, but I should have it sorted by the end of next week, aall being well. Anyhoo, I'm off out to lunch, this was just a small post to let y'all know I was still about :) Also, if anyone out there is interested and doesn't know yet, go to www.kateordie.tumblr.cm and look at what is the BEST comic I've read this year! I admit to sending a slightly lame email to the author, because her comic actually really helped me come to terms with some of the things that have troubled me. It's a very good comic, heartfelt and enthusiastic, and the art is, of course, cute as a button! TTFN chaps! Jx

Tiredness

Well, I'm tired. Tired of working, tired of trying to sort out my uni stuff, tired of having the volatility of human emotion thrust upon me. Tire, tired, tired. But, on the plus side, ZZ Top's new album "La Futura" is coming out in a few days, and I shall be getting the record, to boost my vinyl collection! :D It's just under £20, which is fine by me as I love a bit of music, as you've surely gathered by now! If that's not your bag, I recently discovered that the new series of Dr. Who was going to be almost identical to the last, in terms of story arcs, script styles and, indeed, companions. No more the thrill and excitement of people dying, getting kicked off the show, storylines with interesting new planets and aliens, different situations and stuff like that. Oh no. We shall have the Doctor's identity being questioned, love between him and flirtatious women, the "Pond Saga", and now there's a grandad again (Remember Bernard? He was Donna's grandad. Originalitylol!). Oh, and buggering up the Daleks, don't forget that. Well there we go. Predictability, thy name is the BBC Wales scriptwriting department of the 2000s and 2010s. Anyhoo, enjoy the next episode! :D TTFN chaps! Love J x
