I won tickets to a hockey game, and took a few of the local dudes. Some watched the game, some drew comics.
Drawn by me, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) weatherwise , monstro_draw , bottomlesspop and special appearances by mr_esty .

| Christmas Eve |
[24 Dec 2009|08:47pm] |
It being Christmas Eve and all, I was thinking of this Christmas story and drew it up. I meant to draw it nicer, but didn't get time. It's about family.
( under the cut, because it's big )
If it helps to understand it better, I am the second oldest of four girls.
Merry Christmas, everyone! To you and yours.

| MORE movie talk! |

First of all, I updated my last two posts to include the answers and the "also rans", so if you didn't notice that, go and check out the lists and let me know where I am wrong (I am not wrong).
Favourite movies of 2009
Least favourite movies of 2009
But, more importantly, my lovely wife has her annual worst-movie-reviews featuring the movies on my list that she had to sit through. (Except for Fast & Furious, which she secretly loves). Check it out here!

Yeah, so I'm leaving early in case the weather is crappy. This time every year for the past 5 or so years me, my mum and my grandparents head up to Roscommon to spend time with neices, nephews, aunts, uncles and what have you. But the roads are icy as shit. At least the back roads are and it'll get snowier the closer we get to our destination. So, instead of taking any chances we're heading earlier. Tomorrow actually, which is why I got my mp3 player now so I can put songs on it and charge it before I go.
It's pretty great. Anyway, here's what's on my sansa clip+.
Andrew Bird - Andrew Bird and the Mysterious Production of Eggs, Noble Beast
Animal Collective - Campfire Songs, Here Comes the Indian, Sung Tongs, Water Curses
Bibio - Ambivalence Avenue
Black Dice - Beaches and Canyons, Creature Comforts
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi, Music has the Right to Children
Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out of This Country
Caribou - Andorra, The Milk of Human Kindness, Up in Flames (technically a Manitoba album but whatever)
Clint Mansell - Moon Soundtrack
Dan Deacon - Bromst
Deerhoof - Apple O', The Runners Four
Fennesz - Black Sea, Endless Summer
Fleet Foxes - Sun Giant
Four Tet - Everything Ecstatic, Pause, Ringer, Rounds
Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing, Tarot Sport
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest, Yellow House
Mum - Finally We Are No One, Yesterday was Dramatic - Today is OK
Panda Bear - Young Prayer, Person Pitch
Pavement- Brighten the Corners, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain, Slanted and Enchanted, Terror Twilight
Stars of the Lid - And Their Refinement of the Decline, Tired Sounds of (Stars of the Lid)
The Books - The Lemon of Pink, Thought for Food
The Knife - Silent Shout
There's a couple more albums I'm going to put on tonight, some David Byrne and some Beach House. There's some albums that I have to put on that'll need to be reformatted as well, (which explains the absence of radiohead). How do I convert quick time player AAC audio files to windows mediaplayer MP3 files? I'll leave that until after the holidays.
I got the new zelda game for ds as well but I'm leaving that till friday.
Anyway. Eat, drink, be merry you know all the rest. (<--- It's getting to be a christmas tradition that I read those two articles every year in increasing frequency relative to the awfulness (in general) of this holiday. It gets earlier every year so I've read them about 30 times by the time christmas day rolls around. Oh well, it is oddly therapeutic.)

| My year of making. |

http://meghunt.com/blog/?p=84 It’s the end of the year and usually at this time I tend to evaluate the year to learn from the experience.
+ I was very pleased with a series of good fortune this year; I was honored to be accepted to grad school (despite not going this year), was listed as a rising star of 2009 from HOW Magazine, and partnered up with a wonderful rep.
+ I worked on my first narrative book project, illustrated for a variety of clients (some old, some new), and started really working out what I want to focus on and where I see my career heading.
- Despite a lot of advances, this year was not a financial success for me and I experienced a lot of stress and disappointment when times were lean. I didn’t work as hard as I’m capable of doing, and I hope to improve my work ethic in the coming year.
- Some projects I intended to make more progress on took a bit of a back burner approach, but hopefully I can return to them next year.
- An unfortunate hard drive failure taught me the importance of keeping things safe and how important my information is to save.
I usually grade my years; I’d say this year was a B. Not a bad year, but could’ve been better. I’m very much looking forward to 2010 though. With our major group blog project coming up next month and a clear mindset of what I want to do with myself and how to start accomplishing those goals, I’m determined to make things work. As such, I’m terming 2010 my ‘year of making.’
Making things happen.
Making time.
Making my mark.
Making new friends.
Making time for exploration.
Making plans (and sticking to them).
(You get the idea)
At any rate, I’m excited to share with you what I come up with in 2010. Expect: more screenprints, more sketches hopefully, Alice-themed art, more patterns, and some papercraft explorations. Please stay with me as I explore my year of making and I hope you’ll love the results!

I am really happy that the wireless internet finally works in my parent's house. so while the snow continues to fall and I am stranded in the house, I at least able to talk to aaron in california and do shit like see what we would look like as old folk, a mucha painting, etc. (that face transformating generator is really hilarious if you have the time to dick around like I do.) yesterday I watched a very long marathon of six feet under on TV, drank a couple of mugs of yerba mate, and finished up my christmas presents. the streets have finally cleared so I can go explore the amazing highland park library and their ridiculous selection of criterion films. too good. I am currently working on a comic about all the sexual relations in my life and how they affect my anxiety disorder. it's turning out really good, my shame towards myself and my sexuality and my body is swiftly fading. I accidentally flashed my mother my bush last night (we were comparing tummies in the mirror and I was wearing PJ's and didn't realize how low I had pulled them down, it was very very funny.)
hey eva, how long are you going to be in vancouver/ what's your address there? I wanna mail you a much owed copy of the comic I just finished:
if anyone else wants a copy, it's $4 plus $2 shipping.
and, here's a bad photobooth picture of the christmas card I made aaron:
