The weather!
As you might have heard, the UK has been covered in snow lately. Of course the infrastructure of the entire nation is on the verge of collapse, but luckily I'm a layabout with nowhere to go, so I'm free to enjoy how nice everything is.
I bought a brush-pen a few days ago with some of my birthday money! I'm not very good at using it yet (can you tell? XD), but I've been practicing, and I think it's gonna be really good for my drawing.
Here's some of my practice doodles that aren't completely terrible. :P
My birthday!
I'm twenty-two! My birthday was fun—Tim and I were going to go see the fireworks in London, but while the tube is free all night, the first overground train is at 6-something AM as usual, so we decided to wait until next year, when we'll probably both be living in London, anyway. Instead we stayed at my house and played Cranium (superfun) and had some epic fireworks of our own.
I got really good presents, as well:
I forgot to put a few things from Tim in that drawing, actually: he also gave me Vol.2 of the Darker than Black manga, and the bag also had these totally rad ¥1000000 playing-cards in it:
My parents also gave me some money to be spent at Uniqlo, with which I have bought myself some delectable attire.
On the 2nd, we went to the theatre. :3
We had pretty bad seats—all the way on the left, almost all the way at the top—but the show was so good. ♥ I sort of want to get the soundtrack. XD
University!
I have an interview at UCL for my MA on Monday. I'm nervous, but pretty confident I'll do alright. I was looking over the info about the programme and the professors on the UCL website in preparation, and got twice as excited again about going there. It's going to be so amazing, you guys. I really really can't wait.
Anime!
I have not been keeping up! It's been about a month since I've downloaded any anime, so I haven't seen the end of anything yet. XD I'm at Tim's house atm, though, so I've seen a few of the first episodes of stuff from the new season.
There's one about some cat-girl demon protecting a teenage boy with a jealous childhood friend blah blah lots of stupid fanservice &c. &c. that I really couldn't care less about. There's also Chu-Bra!!, which is about a girl who likes wearing and designing fancy underwear, and is obviously an excuse to look at girls' underwear a lot, but also has messages like "you shouldn't judge people by how they dress", and "girls can look pretty for themselves, not just for men"... except for the fact that it's also an excuse for the male audience to look at 2D girls' underwear for 25 minutes a week. Anime is weird.
But, there is also Durarara!! (double exclamation marks are in, I guess?), which is going to be so badass. :D It's already my favourite thing. The storytelling and pacing and art are all greatly to my taste, as far as can be seen from the first episode, anyway. :) :) :)
In Conclusion:
Foot brush!
