thebrokenarrowswell, today's the day of the contest, but i guess i'm not going. :[ however i still need to get my ass out the house, so i'm gathering up my art supplies and finding somewhere to draw. update later.
----
finally safe to be home again. i snuck my art supplies out around 1pm and fled to the library, where i... drew very little, but wrote some ideas down and read lots of animal books. i think i got some good ideas for the fanmade pokemon region that's been niggling at my brain for a couple of years. i didn't do enough reading, i wish i could have checked those books out but i owe too much money and bb didn't give me a copy of his library card.
but i took a chance, returned home at 5 and all was quiet. mostly. so i scavenged. i can't believe they didn't even have a cake. some birthday party. on my plate i have a few packets of starburst], some cheetos, those sugary autumn cookies, some mini brownie things with ghost sprinkles, and a cupcake. and some green punch in a spoopy cup with a spoopy straw. aw yeah. i love a good halloween party. and by that i mean i love missing the entire party and showing up later when everyone is gone to snarf up what's left over. i'm a vulture.
and apparently for the second time in as many weeks, someone let Murphy get out the door. i don't understand, he's never seemed like he wanted to escape anytime i've opened the door with him around, but somehow when i'm not here this keeps happening and it needs to quit. i'm pretty sure he will just show up sometime tonight like he did last time, especially once the sun goes down and it gets cold.... but. this needs to stop. really really soon. :/
just went out to search for him and found nothing, i know if he heard my voice he'd run right to me no matter what he was doing. so either he's not outside, or he's gone really far away, which i think is unlikely. hopefully he's in the house. either way i have hope that when the sun does down and it gets dark out, he'll come and ask to be let in again. /sigh
oh, i also got some little boxes of stickers, and PENCILS. yeeesss. spoopy pencils. and some SPARKLY PURPLE PENCILS. i'm regaining my love for traditional sharpening pencils, although mechanical pencils are just... better in almost every way, tbh. for a couple of years i insisted on using only Mirado Black Warrior pencils for my art, before i learned the ways of the mechanical pencil.
just gonna stay chipper because i can't go to work feeling anxious and sad and worried about Murphy. he likes his creature comforts a lot more than he likes adventuring outside, i think, and i halfway suspect he wasn't trying to get out but just followed someone out the door and couldn't get back in, which i think is what happened last time. when it gets dark and cold he'll go to the porch where he spent his early kittenhood and wait for the door to open.
they found Murphy, thank goodness. he was in fact outside. /sigh. i'm just glad he's asking to be let back in when he gets bored instead of wandering far. but now i think everyone sees him as a door dasher and will take measures to keep him from getting out now.
i've got an hour before work so HERE IS A LIST. because i love lists.
a list of things [mostly animals] that i want to incorporate into my pokemon region:
- starter theme: one bipedal, one quadrupedal and one with no feet [flippers, snake body, whatever]
- prehistoric mammals as the fossil pokemon? maybe more than usual [like 5-6 instead of 2 or 4?]
- either base it in ancient north america or [modern] australia/oceania
- i want to make a shark like pokemon that focuses on shark skin. because i learned today that shark scales are actually... almost indistinguishable from teeth. each scale has a core with a meaty pulp and nerve ending, just like a tooth, and sharks' teeth are basically just huge versions of their "dermal dentile" scales. ?!?!?! WTF
- cape legless skink, a 'false snake' or 'glass lizard' with an armored nose for shoveling and burrowing
- tapirs. none of that silly drowzee or munna shit. TAPIRS. spotty baby tapir that becomes big beast tapir.
- indricotherium??? thylacoleo???
- dirktooth cat. smaller and older than Smilodon, smaller teeth.
- rhinos. is there even a rhino pokemon yet? that's ridiculous. we need rhinos.
- regional bird could be either a parrot/cockatoo, or a cedar waxwing. yeh
- hell i could probably make two separate regions out of these, one australia region and one semi-prehistoric north america region.
- prehistoric whales. like Basilosaurus, Protocetus etc.
so on an outer life note... this week i just didn't show up at my volunteer job. mostly because from the experiences i had last Wednesday i was pretty sure there wasn't going to be anything left for me to come back to this week, but also i had been feeling like stopping it for some time and this was i guess an opportunity for a clean break. no one has called me, so i assume i was right in understanding that the cats and their holding area are gone. i'll find out the next time i have to go get crickets/mealworms.
gonna play animal crossing before i forget, i didn't play yesterday. i got one more gengar from gamestop! tomorrow's the last day, after that they're doing Diancie. i want one more Gengar, buuuut i guess i don't have to have one if i don't wanna bother to drive all the way to Matthews for it. i expect the Gengar codes will still work after the 26th, but i'll redeem them tomorrow just in case.
shit. looking over last week's entries and i just remembered Toy Soldier making those meaningful clockwork clicks and noises at me... damn. what with the awful news i got last night of the changing of the guard at work [which will be by NO means in my favor], that seems rather... timely. wonder if somehow he knew.
