I saw District 9. It was kinda sad but I liked it. I think my husband didn't like it though >_>

Tomorrow is my tae kwon do green belt test. I think I'm going to fail because I've been a space-case weeping weakling at almost every class for the past 3 months or so. I have forgotten one of my patterns and suck at the ones I do remember.

On the plus side, as of today I am the proud owner of the book "Old Ways of Working Wood" by Alex W. Bealer, thanks to my sister who bought it for me. It is a book I find most useful in writing for my character Laaer, him being a woodworker of the technology levels of mid-1800s American pioneers. It's cool to know all the ins and outs of kinds of wood and tools, for greater authenticity. I should make more of my characters craftspeople because it's fun to do research on their behalf.

I've been reading up on books about carpentry and woodworking to add some authenticity to my stories with Laaer, a character of mine who works with wood for a living. It is really fun. It would be great if I could get some good reference photos of old-fashioned carpenters at work so I could paint some pictures of him, but I have no camera and I don't think we have a lot of historical re-enactment places around here.

All evening, my head has felt totally empty and spacey like I've been huffing nitrous oxide. It's really weird. But it feels kinda good, lol.

I got my orange belt in Tae Kwon Do today.

I've been getting lots of videos from the library. Watched some Don Bluth movies I haven't seen in forever and a couple Disney ones.

My sis bought me several volumes of Hikaru no Go manga in its original Japanese; she got them from her work. I can't read them though because they're way ahead of the English translations and I don't want to be spoiled. Lol.

Also I'm in a crappy mood for no reason, though I've been making some art all day so at least I was productive.

After a bizarre sleeping schedule yesterday, I return to a normal one.

Drawing a picture and it's cool but I can't get the hand to look right.
Read more Fullmetal Alchemist.

Went to Kim and Amber's, did laundry, watched "Survivor" because I was bored.

I finished "Ender's Game" and it was good. Though I wanted Bean to kill Achilles. I feel unsatisfied.

I might stay up all morning because it's 7:30ish and I don't feel tired at all.

Read "Fullmetal Alchemist" manga vols 1 and 2.

Drew a little.

Last night I had a dream that I was happily eating sausage and grape kool-aid. then amber cam up and informed me that my sausage was in fact my dead gerbil Rodney. I ran to the sink and started spitting it out, heaving and crying, and then I tried to wash the taste out with my kool-aid.

On a brighter note, the little ones came over and we watched Howl's moving Castle and various fun times were had. Also we ate a lot of foods. Including popsicles, fortune cookies, tacos, and Hershey's Hugs.

Been reading "Ender's Shadow." Tis good.
