Autumn is Upon Us

It occurs to me that autumn is fast approaching. Normally this a jubilant time of year for me, since summer is my least favorite season and autumn is really my favorite. But after that arduous winter last year and the extremely short-seeming summer I'm just not ready to let go of 70 degree weather yet. Maybe those are my Alaska roots growing a little weaker, but I just don't WANT to endure sub zero temperatures on a weekly/ daily basis anymore. Especially when I walk and bike everywhere. You can bet that I'll be savoring every last warm day down to the bitter end this season.

In other news it's a small world after all. The girl who makes the delicious sandwiches I referenced in this post is in one of my drawing courses this semester. I haven't spoken to her yet, but she does the cutest little inkings of ninjas. Leave it to art majors to double as secret sandwich preparation geniuses! Art FTW!

In the artsy vein, I've decided to try to keep my drawings this semester operating around a central theme. I always try to do this, I find it prevents me from getting creatively exhausted. This semester I am working on establishing a Sci-Fi world based around my ideas of the future of genetic enhancement. My first piece is going to be a city view, and I've drawn off a lot of good concept artists to solidify the look. In one way I know that means I don't get to say it was fully my idea, but the whole point of learning is practice. Or so I tell myself. It's going to be more Star Wars polish than Firefly grit.

Also: trying not to get re-addicted to coke. Not sure if I am currently winning or losing this battle. *sips coke*
