Wii

Mum Got us a Wii For our birthday. It's been great fun :D the Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility has been so awesome! I think its one of the best in the Harvest moon series. I have a flock of chickens, a silk worm, and a goat so far. Its very cute, and challenging to raise money in.

We spent most of the weekend at mums eating ice cream cake and playing wii sports. Usually the game that comes with the system is pretty shitty, but Wii Sports is AWESOME! it really is! it uses the motion controllers the best! we were sore from bowling and golfing :D HA HA!! It's amazing and its fun, and its also fun to play with mum! We got Mario Kart and Animal crossing as well. I've not figured out how to get friends codes, or enter friends codes yet, but we will :D

I also got Joes book Experimental Magic. Its a MUST HAVE for Animators of all kinds! WOW, I was anticipating this book for a long time, and I was not disappointed. Joe did a nice little splash drawing in my book too <3

Back to help Kitty with harvest moon XD shes hitting geysers in the mine and is freaking out XD

Thank you everyone who wished me birthday wishes on facebook and dA! I appreciate it :D

4 days off :)

WHEEE! Today was my last day of work before 4 days off! Tomorrow is Joe's book launch so I'll go get Experimental Magic! I'm really excited! I got my retro pay for my raise at work so I can buy the book, as well as the black inking Copic set I wanted :D
We're getting the Wii on saturday, so i'm going to pick up Animal Crossing: City Folk too! I'm excited! I cant wait to get Joes book!

I was suposed to have my interview for the Inventory position at work today, but they postponed it until next Thursday. They Interviewed the Guy from Langley today, and gave him the tour. I'm nervous about him because I know how Sexist they can be. Anyways, I'll get interviewed on Thursday and we'll see how things go.

Anyways, going to watch Golden Girls :D
DVD's are awesome :)

Cleaning up

Phew, been cleaning up a storm today. Cleaned up my little area over here at my computer, and scrubbed the bathroom from top to bottom.. well maybe waist down, but that's where the gunge piles. It's amazing the colours that a bathroom turns for 2 artists with no studio ;)

We figured now was a good time for a deep clean, so we can have an easier time just maintaining before we go away in May. I've still gotta pull out my bench and see whats gathered up behind me here, but I can do that later on.

I've only got a 3day work week this week because we've booked a couple days off (Friday and Saturday) for our birthday weekend.
Friday during the day I'm heading to H&R block to get my taxes done, and Friday evening We're going to stop at Opus Downtown to get my Copic marker set, and to Joe's book launch.

My mum just texted me and asked if i heard about dad being in the hospital. NO, I hadn't. now he skype isnt sending the messages so we cant even contact him.


Ug, I hate things like that.

Phew. Bushed from cleaning. now time for more little house on the prairie and some drawing time. or airbrushing... I'm not sure what :D

New blog & interesting day

Well, I'm abandoning my Live journal. Its not as fun s blogger :p Plus I have my other blogs here anyways, it makes sense to contain them all. More people can follow here because next to everyone on earth has a google account to follow me :)

Today was interesting. Starting with last night, before we went home from work, we noticed this little calendar on the wall at work listing all the vacation time booked off by staff, and we noticed that we had the end of may booked. I didn't argue, but when we got home daddy was on skype, and he said he wanted to take us on a road trip to Alberta! He said, all expenses paid and no camping LOL! We'll finally be able to go to the Royal Tyrell dinosaur museum and see real dio country! We're also heading into Lethbridge. Awesome, I'm so excited.

This morning as we were waiting for the seabus, Kitty Squeed at something and when I looked up a huge bald eagle swooped into the docking bay, scooped up a black duck and swooshed away with a huge flock of seagulls screaming at him all the while! it was so amazing! Then Kitty phoned mum to tell her about it, and mum asked if we'd like to get a wii and play wii all day for our birthday instead of going out somewhere, since it's likely to be less fun weather on our birthday.

OKAY YA SURE KTHX!!! I DUN MIND ATTAL!!

HAHA! so it's proven to be an interesting couple of days! LOL

Jammy called in sick today, the day was chaos that short staffed on a Saturday. so was the night before, when jam left sick. I hope she feels better, and she gets back to normal soon. She's been downtrodden and negative lately. Hopefully things will look up after she has some time off.

Yesterday also, there were Reps from Canson (paper company) in the store and they gave us this Schpiel about Papers and how they're better than everyone else - which in itself annoyed me, but I have to remember they're american, and in all cases in my experience when it comes to reps, the americans act like its a sale, and will down talk all other brands, while every other countries reps will let the product sell itself. The thing that annoyed me about these guys is, he's talking about the double sided print paper, and he says " and this ladies, when you get married, or (gestures to ann) if you already are is what you're photographer for your wedding album would use, and make you a nice book to display your beautiful photos, 2 sided"

Ann is not married, and about 90% of the staff of Opus care more about paint than marriage, but besides that, WTF? you're selling Canson Artists Paper TO ARTISTS!! hello, fucking KNOW your audience you retard. i was so annoyed at that very narrow minded comment, but also annoyed that he wasn't even giving us the credit of being artists. The other Rep that was with him chimed in about how it could make an awesome portfolio as well - he probably saw the raised eyebrows his partners comment recieved. But gawd, really It was amazing how he completely ruined that experience. He had an opportunity to make us really gung ho about thier papers and he just wasted it.

Oh well, I'm going to go watch some Little House on The prairie and then go to bed :)
