AH! I've been gone for so long! Haven't felt like doing any art, and I feel so out of it... Seriously. Not to mention that I'm running off to a 3 week residential camp this weekend after spending a week in Mexico without internet. Sorry I have been gone for so long guys. Hopefully, I'll start getting myself back on track out of this particularly nasty spell of an art block.

As a random note, today is my second DAversary? xD Just by extreme chance, I seem to have stumbled back to DA on it. And it's gonna be my birthday in 8 days too. Yay?...

Anyways, I've been spending my summer studying as well as playing on this private maplestory server as a distraction. And of course, dealing with parents is a pain in the ass seeing that I can't run off to school anymore. Also, I've been doing anime blogging! It's a fun thing... pointing and laughing at anime series. xD You can visit it here: [link]

Soo... Hope you guys are having a good summer. I'll start my crusade against my art block with a revamp of Ayato and a full on character sheet of both Ayato and Emi... As soon as I learn how to do character sheets. Mochi over and out, hoping that she'll start updating this journal more often!

Sorry I haven't written anything for so long! I've been so busy lately, with teachers trying to rush through 4th quarter curriculum as well as APs coming up in like 2 weeks! >_<

I haven't even had the time to do some casual drawing, and I've been goign to bed super late for this project I needed to work on.

Anyways.. nothing much going on so this is the end of my update.

YUP! We're about to reach the Kiriban of 3k pageviews! If you get it, don't forget to note me with a link to the screen of it. I'll probably offer you a waist up of your choice...

And so, Spring break came to a close, and I'm back at school. It's time for the last effort, as it is the final quarter of the school year. Summer's coming up, and so is junior year. Oh great... SATs are coming up. I'm feeling older every day, and I'm starting to ponder more about death.

Spring break was great. I got some time to relax, and also toured around a couple colleges. It was an awesome stress reliever, and I feel energized now.

Anyways, what's with this journal title?

Well... Yesterday, I ended up remembering about Makoto Shinkai's new movie 5 centimeters per second, and I've just finished watching it. By the way, Shinkai is also known for his movie The Land Promised in Our Early Days, and also Memories of a Distant Star. He's an amazing animator and director, and for the latter movie I mentioned, he did all of the animation and sound effects alone, as well as the mixing. For the Land Promised in Our early days, I think he did a substantial part of the animation, but this time, the production company supplied him a team. Personally, I think he's like the next Miyazaki, except I think he surpasses Miyazaki due to the fact that he can deal with low budget projects, unlike Ghibli, which usually has high budget projects.

5 centimeters is essentially a collection of 3 anime episode sized shorts about the love of two childhood friends and how they seem to separate farther away from each other as they grow up. Well... It's pretty much an OVA formatted as a movie really. The ending is very bittersweet, as all of Shinkai's movies. It really leaves an imprint on you, and I highly recommend this movie to others, and also any of Shinkai's shorts(which you can find on Youtube haha), and movies.

Nothing interesting being planned out in the art scene, so I'm just going to try my best in school now >_< . I might be doing some remakes... who knows?

Okay... It's Spring Break... I should be w00ting right now right? But no.. I got this stupid piano concert. D: I've been busy with school and other stuff, I haven't been too active.

Not to mention that I've been watching House obsessively... (sorry >_< And have been quoting him over instant messanging.

He's so FUNNY. xD

Anyways, I haven't been doing any drawing lately. Mostly doodling during lectures... But yeah.

And... Yeah..

I'll be happier tomorrow. Haha. Nighty Night... P:
