we spent the day in Stanley Park and the Aquarium with mum today. It was much much fun but I forgot to put my memory card back in the camera before we left so I didnt get many pictures ROFL.
We went into the 4D theatre which was really cool. I love getting sprayed in the face and punched in my back while watching 3d Movies.
It was fun. I'll be renewing my membership in a couple weeks when we go back.
For some reason, I went to renew my membership and they said I'd lose half a month if I renewed today because my membership doesn't expire until the 30th, i assumed it would just extend me for a year. so weird.
anyways, off to do some airbrushing with Copics :>

Conflagration Tattoo
This is going to be tattoo'ed the length of my arm this month!
I'm getting my quote, and making my appointment on the 11th.
I'm scared of the cost HAHA!
What do you think?
Easter and copics
So I registered and paid for the Copic Certification course. Man they only give 3 days of a window to pay once you've been accepted, which is tough to do for some people. With all the holidays my money transfers have all been delayed so I had to ask mummy to use her credit card. The course cost more than I thought but my job may pay for it. Get reimbursed. We'll see.
May 30th, I'm excited.
Going to be heading out as soon as Erica calls to hang out with her today.
I've been eating Oreo's all day. I didn't realize how much I like them.
Happy easter.

oooof
been in an oddly comfortable position most of the day. I sit on a cushion on a short coffee table because I have no chair for my computer, but its hard on my back to not be able to lean on something, so I propped up some boards reclined back and put the tablet and keyboard both in my lap and Viola! I finished scene 6 for the Tik Short. WOOT! as soon as I'm done rambling, I have to tackle those other 6 check marks on my production list then I'm done this silly thing at last!
my 3rd animation short.
I reset all my tablet keys to be controls for my most used Tools on Toon Boom Studio. It sped things up immensely. Wacom thought about making the controls reversible to the left hand side of the tablet which was brilliant, but programs still haven't figured out how far away some keyboard short cuts are from the free hand when you're left handed :/
had the day off work today because Chelsey needed to switch shifts for some time off she needed, and so here I am.
Jesse introduced me to new music today - Lily Allen. Very nice music. It's like hello kitty swearing! haha! wonderful!
My favourite song so far is "Fuck you". Yeah.
Found out that despite my assumption that I'd hate her, I actually like Lady Gaga too, but I have to wait 'til I can get a itunes card to download some of those.
Wonderful because I was craving something new and some of the stuff I've gotten just .. wasn't cutting it. need to reorganize my music on my Zune.
back to work...

Watching a cat die can sure make you think...
... what a hypocritical society we are. We end an animals life to be "humane" because its pointless to suffer with no hope..."yes we can extend her life for a year, but she will be in pain and it's cruel to let her suffer" they say, but at the same time people with terminal illnesses beg for death and are denied the "humanity" we give to cats and dogs. In the same breath people put so much more value on human life! Killing a cat is nothing compared to killing a human. injecting a drug into a cat to kill it because it's in pain is legal and in fact it's cruel to let it suffer, but that same action on a primate in a suit is murder?
Checkers, the cat that was put down this Sunday had cancer. she was losing weight fast, barely eating or drinking. low energy, trouble breathing, all that fun stuff humans with cancer experience. Even so, Checkers happiness never faded. She had a zest for life like no other cat. She came up to me and rubbed on my hand and purred non stop. It didn't seem to matter to her that it was all her energy to do that thing. She loved life. More than any other cat I've seen, Checkers loved life - no doubt about it. She wasn't begging for it, she never complained and she got what humans are capable of asking for, without needing to be asked.
But it WAS the right thing to do. It was horrible to watch her die, to see her realize that her life was ending, but she was indeed poorly, and there was nothing to make her better.
I believe it is also the right thing to do for people.
If I'm shitting myself, in constant pain, begging for the end - I should have the right to end it.
Fuck religion! If it's YOUR religion that's fine for you, you can suffer as long as you like.
I just think its funny how "humane" doesn't apply to Humans.

Checkers
So last weekend mum phoned us to tell us that she called the vet because checkers was looking a little under the weather, losing weight etc. and it turns out the Vet has known since November when she had surgery, that she has cancer.
Frustration aside, we now have to take checkers in on Sunday to have her euthanized. We've all (me mum and jeri) had a really hard week of crying and thinking about poor Checkers. Mums waiting for sunday so she doesn't have to do it alone, and so we get to see Checkies before its done. She's very weak though.
The week has been too fast too. I hate that it ends with the end of checkies life.
she's an awesome little kitty, I will miss her so much.
To combat the evil that is coming on Sunday, we're trying to come up with something fun to do on that day to take our minds off things.
To bad the Olympics are stopping us from doing anything downtown. I'd love to get some use out of my Aquarium membership before it expires... I'm debating renewing it.
anyways, thats why the films going a little slow... I'm just deflated.

Robert Carlyle
Woot! today was a weird day!
First of all my special order of 5 packs of 11x17 Aquabee marker paper today (dropped a chunk of cash on that LOL) I've stocked up because my store can't special order that size anymore. I have 6 packs of 50 now.
So ya, Robert Carlyle was in Opus today! It was awesome. Kitty rung him in and he was very nice.
It took me a while to know who he was. Jaime was talking about him saying she was excited and getting quite exasperated that no one knew who he was Ha! Once I actually saw him, I knew almost right away who he was.
Very cool, very cool :)
