I’ve taken alot of pics over the past couple of weeks. . .

Sunday night I got all dressed up for a wedding.

Is this not the most ghetto name for a restaurant? They have really good food, though. :p

Hello kiddies. . .

Well, I bombed on the speech I mentioned in the last entry, making a C. But today I had another speech. We had to give a special occasion speech (i.e. eulogy, acceptance, presentation), and I did a lot better on this one. I chose to do a eulogy, and little did I know that a eulogy isn’t just for funerals. It’s the general name for a speech given to praise or blame someone.

Right now I’m working on a commission for one of Jamaal’s co-workers. It’s a portrait of Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mack(sp?).

As for the comic. . . it’s coming along slowly, but surely. =)

booo. . .it’s 2:00 a.m., and I’ve got a speech today that once again I’ve ill-prepared for. It’s dealing w/ affirmative action. . .such a controversial topic, so much I could say, but I’ve only got 5 minutes. And it’s not good to rethink your speech plan at the last minute. I’ll just stick to my original idea, and if it goes to terribly, I have an opportunity to redo the speech Wednesday.

Almost two and a half weeks ago, my dog, Madelyn, gave birth to eight healthy puppies (hooray!). Sadly, Madelyn developed mastitis. Consequently, we have to ween the puppies early. Madelyn has to be separated from the puppies completely, so see will stop lactating and the infection will go away. They were supposed to nurse for at least another week, but the vet gave us formula to feed them, and we started them on puppy chow. I was surprised at how quickly the puppies took to the new food, but they can’t get enough of it. However, it’s a big responsibility having to feed them every four hours. . . but they’re so darn cute that it doesn’t really matter.

The puppies are super muts. Their dad is part rottweiler and some kind of husky/wolf dog; he’s got white-blue eyes, but looks mostly like a german shepard. We don’t know what the heck Madelyn is. She’s a pound puppy. But we love them all. =)

I had a great week spending time with my sweetheart. But fear not, I actually managed to sketch some things while I was with him. Last Thursday we went to a cheerleading gym where Jamaal’s best friend, John works. I saw the girl walking around, stretching, and fixing their hair after doing a tumbling passed, and I did a few sketches from that.

The comic is coming along slowly but surely. I need a lot of references to work from since I have mostly experience drawing people and nothing else. But this will be great practice for me. I’d give y’all a sneak peek, but then I’d be giving away a lot. ;)
