Wacky week.....
Dec. 30th, 2014 03:36 pmWell, when last I posted we were getting ready for the xmas holiday. It has since passed and we are looking right at the start of the new year. Seriously, how does almost 2 weeks pass so quickly? The holiday was quiet and relaxing. We had no melt downs from little boys, everyone was happy with gifts, we ate really well and had time with family and friends.
It was a Skylander's Xmas with the whole family getting some for various versions of the game. I also got given Disney Infinity which has all of the Disney and Marvel characters you can think of....so much fun but hard to play when you are tired. The world building is intense. We figured out quickly that Minecraft makes me sea sick and I won't be playing an of that probably. Which is sad, I was actually looking forward to that. We had![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
public_shaylan with us for a few days and it was so nice.
Over the last two weeks I've also went to the Tucson drawing studio withelinor_dear and bewilde for Live Model drawing on Sunday mornings. I was very, very nervous for the first session, it was really the first time I've ever drawing anything that was real and not just a copy from a book or the internet. It was intimidating and 3 hours is a long time to be drawing but it has been good. They start out with 5 5 minute poses of the model, a 15 min pose, a 30 min pose followed by 45 minute pose and then a pose with what ever time is left. There are breaks between the longer poses for us and the model to stretch relax etc.
There was marked improvement from last week to this week. It really helped that we got there early and were able to get a much better angle so we were in, as Bridget calls it, "Foreshortening Hell."

The model we had this last time was wonderful and so striking in features. During the 45 min pose I couldn't get her head right (pin heads suck) and just moved to another sheet to do a study of her face. Her features were so striking its like she walked out of a stone carving from the Aztecs.
In other new things I've done. I published my first fan fiction. Its in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and yeah, I'm pretty proud of it. I've got a few more in the works including one that hit me today that I'll see if I can get out there.
A Proper Drink It was not possible without much love and editing byickaimp and lferion.
So Sunday was nice and then I just got cold...could not get warm and well I was sick with sinus uck. Today I'm tired and ran some errands but still tired. Not quite fit for human interactions but on the mend I think. I don't think my eating habits are helping and just need to stop the crap and eat good stuff and drink my effing tea and water like a good girl.
2015 will hopefully bring lots of good changes to me. My goal is to make myself better and treat myself better. I've been letting work decide on that too much and well, I need to do things for myself.
