Texas Day 5

Woke up around 10:30 am and went to Red Lobster with the whole family. They really liked me! Going skating tomorrow and looking forward to some Amish friendship bread. Yoshi and I got into a huge fight and Mimi and Aunt Ruby worked everything out perfectly! By the end of the night we made up.

Texas Day 4

Tuesday- Nothing but trampoline and an excess of food. At night I noticed flashes of light from my window. I opened the blinds to see that it was lightning, too far away for me to even hear. It lit up the clouds in blue and purple with a white glow. I stayed up just watching and fell asleep that way. It was soothing, to say the least.

Texas Day 3

Yoshi and I decide to skip out on going to the lake with everyone and sleep in at Darla's. We had a restful day visiting the massive Barnes & Noble, Lubbock Mall, and enjoying my first Whataburger, Whatadrink, and Whatafries. Everyone is so friendly here! I noticed that in Texas, everyone loves Texas, but in Tennessee everyone is so pissed. Later that day Yosh taught me some daring tricks on the trampoline ( I was very scared but I did it and I am so proud), and PawPaw (yet again adopted) took us out to Hong Kong Buffet! Delish! Stayed up late drawing a cute pin-up elf girl (I gave it to Yoshi but I need to get it back so I can post it here- its really cute) and chatting with Yosh.

Texas Day 2

Wake up early and go to flea market. There was quite a racial difference here in Texas rather than in Tennessee. More Mexican folks and Asians than African-American. It was enjoyable to experience the different mix of cultures at the flea market. I also got a 5-pack of colorful bras for just 15 bucks! Then we went to the peddler's market at the civic center. I must have been adopted into the family because Josh's grandma, "Mimi", bought me nearly $200 dollars worth of clothes and good things. I have a new grandma! The new clothes I got were possibly the nicest, finest things I have ever owned for myself. I saw Bree again, we played Apples to Apples with the family (my first time) and I won every game!

Texas Family Reunion Day 1

Yoshi's family invited me to tag along on their annual Texas reunion. Super exciting! So like any good blogger, I documented the trip day by day! Here we go!

Day 1, arrival in Lubbock, Texas

Arrival after 14 hour travel. I fill up my water bottle and realize the water tastes like blood. This makes me slightly sick and for the rest of the trip I must now drink bottled water. I meet Bree and various other cousins. We are staying with Yoshi's aunt and uncle and her three boys.

Mural Updates

Here's how the mural is going so far...I've got the hands painted now, but alas i didn't think to get a snapshot.

Pig Bride Cosplay Project

So, at the end of the year the art department gets together and has a huge masquerade/feast/awards show. I've been currently reading a wonderful manwha series called "Pig Bride", so for my masquerade costume I decided to go Cosplay! I will upload pics of my full costume when I get them (they are on other people's cameras, how pesky), but here is Mu Yeon's mask I made out of rigid wrap. (I forgot the red dot on the forehead, I'm fixing it! lol)
