Spent the last few hours coloring. Got my first completed piece of 2015 done - an image of Malaria, one of my Pearlcatcher dragons from FR. After that, Roane suggested I print out some coloring pages and practice on them, since I expressed discomfort at consistently ruining my good lineart or sketches with shitty coloring skills. That was a really good idea, so I printed out some Pokemon coloring pages, because what else? Got Raikou colored on my legendary beasts page, and when I filled in his eyes with red pencil, black ink and white gel pen, when I added the white shine in his eyes it gave them a life and fierceness that shocked me. Suddenly I looked into a face that seemed to look back into mine, rather than just an image. It's crazy how deeply Pokemon affect me. I need to write an essay sometime on the myriad of seeds it planted into me for my future life as an artist and just in general.
Did a little napping today too, but not nearly as much as yesterday. Maybe an hour or two. Maybe it's helping me get over the lingering ick that's around. The flu is going around my extended family and workplace, I'm making the sign of the cross with my fingers. Helllll no. Immune system boosts plz kthx.
Leaving for work soon, today's hours are weird and late. I really hope that doesn't mean they're sticking me here until after like 6. Since they still haven't put up the schedule I literally won't know what time I'm off until I get there, which I really hate and don't handle very well. Just assuming 6 for now.
Been watching a LP of Black version, because I beat White back in 2011 - four years ago?!? - and haven't played it since. It's very nice so far even though the player likes to narrate all the women's voices in the most ridiculous muppet style falsetto. [It works hilariously well for Bianca though LOL] At one point Arty got really excited about the video and clambered onto the laptop keyboard and began singing to the screen. So cute. I love him. Thinking about him when I'm stressed at work puts me at ease. My bird son.
Bb rented an audiobook history of Russia and so periodically I'll just hear a swell of propagandic music from his laptop over there, lol.
Don't really have time to write any more, gotta go pee and get dressed and leave. Hope and pray that I'm scheduled off at 4, that would be nice although unlikely. :v
