I won! By way of unintentional cheating.

It was warm, so I stayed in bed. Had some tea. Did my portrait.

At 4ish, I sat in front of the fire while the other people of the house prepared dinner. I worked some more on my holiday presents with aid from dad. Then dinner! Turkey! Mashed potatoes! Beans! Gravy! It was very good. I ate my share and when all the places were cleared, we played a game that Nathan got us: Space Truckers.

It took some understanding, but we managed to get through a game. I won but I didn't quite understand some of the rules so I had a major advantage in the last round. Still, it was a good game. Thanks Natey!

Now I am working on some presents and watching stuff with Nathan. Soon I shall part from Nate, and work on another present for a while.

deadlines can be a real....

Just met my Friday deadline. Supposed to be early Friday, and you don't get much earlier than 1am! Booyah!

Got up around noon, and had tea for breakfast because Mom made a non Me friendly breakfast. Boo!

Dad fixed my headphones. Yay!

I worked on a portrait and at around 4:30ish I drove into Silverdale to do some Christmas shopping. Got a couple things easily, but had to go to dreaded Wal Mart to get one thing. Uhhg. That place puts me in a panic. Do not like it one bit. At least I had Cabin Pressure to listen to.

For dinner there was cous cous and salad and I ate some rice crackers with hummus and I worked on achieving my deadline early. I'm fairly pleased with how much I managed to fit into the scheme of the image. Go me! I can't show it to you, not till, like, June 2012. But I'll tell you when to look it up, yeah?

nate's back

I'll go in reverse order, because that is more exciting! Had a late night hot tub with Nathan. It was frosty out, but none of us slipped. The tub was at a cool 99 degrees, which is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Boo!

Previous to that, Nathan showed me some of his games. Like Star Wars The Old Republic. That was neat.

Ma, Pa, Nate, and I went to see Tintin. It was fantastic! I was apprehensive about it because I'm not a big fan of motion capture, but it worked out really well! And some of the scenery was jaw dropping. Really fun film, and a good adaptation. Lots of fun. I was smiling throughout.

I had a bread and sausage late lunch/early breakfast. Played Skyrim while waiting for the movie and all that.

Ma came home from work, Dad and Nate came home earlier. I got out of bed a few hours earlier than usual, but not early enough because I missed everyone. Ah oh well.

I have a busy day tomorrow. Shopping, drawing, more drawing.

Today's Portraits Are: Paul Gross & Mark McKinney.

the hobbit looks really good

Working on a painting, so that I can finish that and then work on some paid work. Whoo.

Slept further in. I think I've just given up on getting up at a respectable hour. Maybe when Nate is here, I'll get up earlier. Maaaybe.

Ma was off doing ma things. Pa was off doing pa things. I did my Trillian thing.

Dinner was tacos! Yay taco night! Then we watched Midnight in Paris. That was a good film. Really enjoyed it. Fun, lots of good performances and things.

Not that complex a day.

noomi is awesome

Another crawl out of bed morning. I did wake up earlier, but didn't get out. Oh well.

Had some tea and oatmeal, and then we decided to catch the 4:30 showing of Sherlock Holmes. So I rushed a portrait and got it up and off we went to the theater!

It was a fun movie. Good filming, good actors. Nice to see more Moran and Moriarty baddie ness. A solid sequel.

We swung by Joanne's and picked up some of my art that mom had framed. Way too nice of a frame job for the pieces. Really way too nice. I've only won one award as as Illustrator! Wait till I get those Society of Illustrator awards.

Back at home I did some portraits. Gotta get ahead of the game so I can work on other pieces.

I don't have any real presents for Ma and Pa this year. Boo being poor and living in Seabeck. OHH CRAP I DIDN'T ORDER THAT THING THAT MOM ASKED FOR. ERRr....uhhh. Maybe I shouldn't type that.

rather lack luster, sorry

Uhh. I'm so rubbish at waking up early. Or rather, getting out of bed early. Oh well.

Slept in. Got to portrait drawing. Got the portrait up late. Got to working on this one other piece late. Let it dry and all that. Tried some of the wine that Brian gave us in thanks. It is good wine.

Not much happened today. Dad worked on his Christmas present. Ma went to a play.

Some of my videos work, some don't. It is frustrating. I wish I knew why some videos works and why others didn't.

Need to make a list of things I have to get done before Christmas. Yup yup.

present packed but not shipped

Aww man. I want to draw but I should go to bed instead. At least I have the initiative of having portraits to do to get up and stuff.

Slept in. Then had a rushed poached egg on toast with melted cheese and off we went to Pulali! We turned the heat on and the house warmed up right quick. So unlike our house. Celia and Corrine came over and we gave auntie her birthday presents.

Brian Quist, a family friend, is staying at the Pulali cabin for a week to work on his writing. So he came over and we showed him about. Dad showed him how to shuck oysters. Everyone ate pie, I ate ice cream.

We bid adieu and we three went to the Geoduck Tavern. I wasn't so impressed with my french dip. It was an okay meal, though not worthy of the write ups it has apparently received.

Back at home we hot tubbed. It was great. I'm amazed at how much time can vanish.
