I realize that blogging has dropped to the bottom of my priority list lately,what with summer course at uni, and my brother graduating from university in England. And I never did post pix of those finished crochet projects, so..
This is a Gyffindor house scarf-bookmark i made for a friend as a Thank you for lending me some summer-reading books+ an end of semester present. I'm thinking of making three more with for the other houses. I chose Harry Potter 'cos she's a massive fan of the books and films.So much so that she frequently casts spells, like Avada Cadavra, when she thinks I'm being mean.. =P
I finally finished my aunt's bag. i think it came out rather nice (if i do say so myself)... ^.^
Here's another picture of the bag.
Finally got around to taking some pictures of my laptop case. Complete with turquoise satan lining, and a zipper. It really compliments my vaio laptop :P
Been keeping busy this summer, 1st it was summer course, then my brother came back from England,, but I've also been reading, watching anime while crocheting big projects (like my mom's blanket, and embellishing her friend's tapestry rug).
I borrowed 12 books from my friend. So far I've read:
-Sharp objects, by Gillan Flynn ( That was a nice read)
-The mark, by Jason Pinter (Very interesting. Truly a page turner)
- couldn't get through Cage of stars, by Jaquelyn Mitchard (It wasn't my cup of tea)
- Stephen King's The dead zone was quite good.. Just recently finished it.. it took me some time to get my head around the fact that everything took place in the 70's,, it was a little hard, since i couldn't really imagine the way they dressed, walked, and talked.. but i liked it.
- Currently reading the memory keeper's daughter. So far it seems good.
{using my butterfly bookmark i made } I decided that I'm going to start documenting the books i read by taking a picture of the date before reading,then commenting on it after i finish it. =D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, some of the anime i watched:
- Ouran high school host club: In short, it was goofy.
The drawing was nice for the most part, but i think they went over-board with the exaggerated facial expressions, because my favorite part of watching anime is seeing the amazing artwork, the way that the eyes and hair are drawn, but this feels laazy, like they want to get it over and done with. Other than that, Host club was funny, and refreshing. What made it even funnier was the fact that Haruhi seemed oblivious to the way Hikaru and Kaoru tease Tamaki by flirting with her,and then she pushes Tamaki away when he tries to help her. X )
- Vampire knight & Vampire knight guilty
The artwork was nice (except for the necks being too big and chunky for the head). The story WAS a little repetitive, girl loves vamp and does any and everything to be with him. But the ending what ... strange. A little twisted. But the seres was enjoyable.
- Myself, yourself is another anime that i watched, it was ok. sad tho.
- Amegami SS, Very strange, and the story goes back to the beginning and takes another path every few episodes. i didn't really like that, so stopped at episode 10.
* And now the ongoing anime, these are the ones I'm watching every week as a new episode is launched:
- Keeping up with Shippuuden. i LOVE it! best story line, and artwork with the least amount of "goofy" drawing i've seen (after Death Note, of course).
- Yumeiro Patissiere, at episode 48, i like the way it focuses on cooking in a kawaii way. It got me motivated to get in the kitchen and try stuff out. (Which my mom is happy about :P)
I tried the Milles de crepe that they made. But it came out a little bland ( which was rectified with cherry syrup) and a tad soggy, for that i blame the recipe, so will be trying a different one.
-Kaichou wa maid-sama is AWESOME!! (episode 25 should be out tonight on Animefreak!!) .It inspired me to self- improve (is that the term? ) i really like it. But as with Ouran ,they over did it with the goofy parts, sure it's funny when Usui's face goes kinda chibi with sarcasm, and when he teases Misaki. But the line should be drawn at that. They push it when ppl become white blobs and the "Three morons" are CONSTANT chibi blobs!!
Anyways, that's my uber long blog for today,,
Oh!! I almost forgot!! My major and minor finally came through... Major = Microbiology, Minor = English lit.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay < Happy dance>
Now i don't have to worry about paper work, or lack of subject options !!
