Cowleks
I've always ALWAYS thought it'd be cool to have a pet cow. I love cows. They're just so *squee*. In particular my favorites are those black Angus cows. SO. BEAUTIFUL. Well then I started wondering about miniature cows. Even better idea, right? I was sure I've heard about them so I looked them up and they are in fact real. I've seen several sizes of them. Ones that get between 600 and 1000 pounds and then some tiny mother heifers (<- u see whut I did thar?) that are 200 to 300 pounds at most, such as these guys here. Is that not the most adorable little cow you've ever seen? These guys reminded me of Cowleks. If you've ever played Spyro 2 you may remember a Land Blubber in Zephyr had a heard of Cowleks, these miniature cow/elephant crossbreeds. Yeah, I always loved those things.
Man, now I want a cow more than ever. Especially one of these midget cows. Piper (my Australian cattle dog) needs a friend to herd around. How perfect would a mini-cow be? Oh man, now I just need 1500 dollars. I'm getting a male, they're about a thousand bucks cheaper. Then I just gotta wait for my parents to move to a new place with a bit of farm land and I'll be all set to have my mini moo cowlek. SO. CUTE.
Okay, rant over, just thought I'd share that.

Voila
So I finally made a new banner. I usually make one at the beginning of each school year but the past couple years I've been a bit late on that deadline. Better late than never. This banner kind of commemorates my last year in the marching band. I will miss it a lot. I still have the Clarinet Christmas party and band banquet to look forward to but then that's it. No more band. I'm not really sure how to feel about that. I've been playing the clarinet since fifth grade and now...I have no reason to play it any more. BUT I did get an electric guitar so I have something else to learn now. Still, what will I do without marching band?
Besides the banner I found a new temporary background. Kinda similar to the last one. If I ever find the old one I'll change it back for sure. But, c'est la vie.
On another note, just a couple hours after my last post I got an e-mail from someone asking me to join this Moleskine enthusiasts group. Right on. While I probably won't join, as I already have too many sites that I go on to keep track of, I was flattered that I was asked. And if these people are still interested in some of the art I draw in my Moleskine sketch book they can visit my DeviantArt account here. I'm currently working on a 100 theme challenge with all Digimon art. I don't have much up but winter break is coming up and I'll be able to work on stuff then.
Well only two weeks left of school. I've spent this weekend doing basically nothing constructive (unless you call getting 100% on video games productive). But I did have two exams last week so I'm kind of resting I guess. Two weeks left of this semester and it's do or die. Let's hope for the former rather than the latter, shall we?

Secret Obsession
So I've kinda got this small obsession with Moleskine notebooks. See I've got about three of them. One is a sketch book, which I've been making very good use of since the summer. The other is a music book which I haven't really used but fully intend on. Fortunately during Thanksgiving Break I got an early Christmas/Birthday gift...an electric guitar. That I've wanted since 7th grade at least. I've had many thoughts of starting a band. No real friends around with the same interests. However I can at least put that music book to good use and potentially write some songs. So I recently bought another moleskine notebook with which to write song lyrics in. I don't know what it is about these things. Seriously, it's like a drug.
ANYWAY, so I've noticed that uh, my background, is kinda...gone. Well, here's the thing. WAAAAY back when, when I first started this blog, I needed a place to host pics and stuff. Someone told me of a website to go to so I used it...weeeeell, I guess I hadn't logged into the account in a while and it finally got deleted. Thus the background went bye bye. I hadn't changed it since I first put it up. And um...I didn't have it saved to my computer. So I've been searching for that old image but no dice so far. I'm gonna have to find a temp replacement or just a new background. Which is sad because I really liked that old one.
And this completely useless post has been brought to you by this ridiculous quote from my mom and her mutant rat.

Do They Smell Like Cabbage?
Oh man, I didn't post in October? LAME. So much for posting at least once every month this year. I swear, once I'm done with school and have about 50 less things to remember I'll be more on top of this. Meh, it's really more for my benefit than anyone who reads this, so who cares?
Anyway, exciting things abound! For instance, this Saturday Jeff Dunham is coming to my school. I. Am. So. Freaking. EXCITED! My dad will be coming that weekend (as it's dad's weekend) to go see the show with me. Unfortunately being dad's weekend and me being in the marching band this means that I have to run home after the football game to get out of my stinking clothes and run back to Beasley Coliseum in time to get out seats. Retardimundo. This will be a busy weekend for sure.
Then in about two weeks I'll be going home for Thanksgiving break. I'll be getting a preliminary dentist appointment to get my wisdom teeth out (blaaarg) BUT, more excitingly my parents are going to take me to look at some guitars. After the red clarinet incident at the beginning of the semester (oh, and the choice words I had for those idiots who told me it was 'high quality'...the choice words) my mom suggested to me that since after this year I'll really have no reason to have a new clarinet that maybe she should get me an electric guitar instead. Something I've been wanting since at least 7th grade. Better late than never, right? And being done with college I'll have more time to practice anyway. (I was such a fail bot in 7th grade, the less distractions the better...oh wait, I'm still a fail bot.) I really can't wait. My parents already bought an acoustic guitar for themselves. So I /know/ the guitar for me is a sure thing.
But it brought up an interesting conversation. After talking with the guy at the guitar store for a few hours and practicing on her own guitar she started wondering if I should get a 3/4 guitar because of my disproportionately small hands. I mean I have midget hands. The only people with hands the same size as mine are about a foot shorter than me. My hands are the same size they were when I was 11 or 12, no joke. So of course my mom makes an obscure reference from Austin Powers and asks if my hands smell like cabbage and tells me I need to work at a carnival.
THANKS MOM! Hahaha.
...My hands are tiny. *sniff*
So YAY! Jeff Dunham! YAY! Getting these friggin' teeth finally pulled out of my head! And YAY! Getting a guitar! Now if I can just get through all my classes I'd be clam happy.
IVAR'S: Keep Clam!

A Country of Misplaced Priorites
I've been really busy the past few weeks. So busy I've nearly forgotten to eat half the time. But this...this just pissed me off so freaking much I had to make a post about it.
I introduce you to Latisse.
Read the page. That's right it's a prescription treatment for eyelash growth.
People are out there suffering from actual diseases, suffering from cancer or like my dad, diabetes.
AND THESE PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR DAMN FUCKING EYELASHES?!
ARE. YOU. FUCKING. SERIOUS?!
I'm sorry, I can't live in this country anymore. It's overflowing with retard.

Busy Bee
I feel like a lunatic, running around all week. Classes started Monday so there's that whole frantic search to get books. Band rehearsals in the evening. We're going camping this weekend (we as in the clarinet section) so I've been running around getting ready for that. And then friends I hadn't seen in a few weeks wanted me to come over for dinner. In the time between that I've been trying to clean up the apartment and actually be a good student and do the assignments in my classes early.
Then not only am I going camping this weekend, I'll be watching a movie with some friends, then go out for drinks, and then have a different friend help me dye my hair, and generally be too social for my own good. It'll be a miracle if I don't murder someone by the end of the weekend.
The good news? I'm getting a new clarinet, a red one, and it should be here today or tomorrow. I'm hoping today so I can see it before I leave for camping. I've also been doing a lot of work in my sketchbook. I've decided to do the 100 theme challenge on DeviantArt all with Digimon pictures. And they're coming out quite nicely I must say, especially since I have just about no practice with coloured pencils. I never used them before because the only ones I had were the crappy brands, but now I have some PrismaColor ones (I've been getting colours as I need them) and hot damn the quality difference is downright shocking. If I get a chance later perhaps I'll link some of the pics here.
Anyway, that's my nutshell. *flees to class*

Blister
Oh god oh god oh god! This blister is huge. It's taking up half my toe. It's not like one of those really nasty blisters. It's under a really thin layer of skin filled with watery liquid but...eeeeeeew.
And I even had a much more relevant post but this kind of took priority. It's like an alien! Nasty! Nasty! Nasty! I'm rather incoherent but...*shivers*
Yeah, I'll post something worth reading tomorrow. Like my adventure with popping this sunovabiznitch.
