   Done with Exams!!!!
Ah man! Photobucket screwed-up that piece of art I put on the end of yesterday's post! Is mine the only computer where it's showing up as about the size of a playing card? (Please scroll-down and take a look if you haven't already.)
>_< I really wanted you guys to see that one in it's entirety, because it served as a fine example of how I don't have a narrow-mind about art, and won't condemn something the first time I see it before I understand what it actually is (I could have gone, "Oh! She's glorifying Charles Manson!" and called her twisted, but that's not what the drawing is or what the artist meant). It also served as a nice contrast to how most of the art I show-case is soft and friendly. I'd really like you to see this amazing portrait of religious and psychological perversion (of the subject, not the artist ~_') in all it's ominous glory, so please click here if you're interested (please read the little mini-review I posted yesterday before doing so, please, if you haven't already).

Okie-dokie, now that that's over, how are you all doing today?
Me? Well, I'm doing GREAT!!!
Why? Because EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!
\^o^/ I finished my final 2 today! No more studying for me! ^_^ Now I'll be able to draw again! Even better, me and Josh (as far as I know) are gonna' do a manga-run tomorrow! I love my buddy Josh. He's the coolest!
Better still, Josh has Monday off, and I have Monday and Tuesday off from school! Things are looking up for Awesome-sama, aren't they!?

If a may take a second to plug a dear friend, Living Doll has put up an AMV she made herself on her site! Please take a second to check it out, especially all you Fruits Basket fans! Here's a hyper-whatever to make it a little easier for those of you with slow-poke computers: ”Who would listen to a band called “The Bare-Naked Ladies?”.
I'd love to critique Karen-chan's obviously inspired and well-put-together AMV, but not being one who has experienced Fruits Basket yet I would be unable to fully grasp the depth of her artistic aspects in making it. So, any critique I could give would either be meaningless or completely incorrect.

On a side-note to that, I just realized I could upload my own video-files into Youtube.com for you guys, rather then just searching for stuff others have uploaded. >:D It'd certainly be a nice alternative to Videodesk.com...*starts thinking about the possibilities of not having a 5 MB limit or bandwidth that's gone in 20 minutes*
Any who, on a side-note to that, has anybody noticed my new Video Of The Week? Trust me, it's worth at least one watch even if you normally can't stand Hip-Hop. All the explaining you need is in the little paragraph below the video. Enjoy. :D
I think my recent discovery of Youtube.com is the start of a grand new chapter in the story of my site. Being able to share my videos with you opens up some bold new possibilities.

So, who here is stoked about Fullmetal Alchemist tomorrow night?
:3 Last week's episode was the SHIZ-NICK!!! No spoilers for those who haven’t seen it *but there will be teasers*, but last week's episode had me on the complete edge of my seat! I'm especially glad we're getting to see Rose again. She had a lot of potential with her character development that I'm glad is getting a chance to be explored. Plus, the ending of that episode (and what that ending had to do with Rose herself) reached an unbelievably high climax in my opinion. X3 I can't wait to see what happens next!
***Feel free to discuss last week's FMA in more detail in your comment, but put a warning before you say something that would spoil it for those who haven't seen it up to this point yet, and DO NOT say anything that would spoil it for who haven't seen the series beyond this point. I DO NOT LIKE IT when some jack-off thinks it's funny to spoil one of the best anime series for me, just because they pirated all the episodes off the internet and thus have seen the entire series. Spoil it for me in any way on any level and DIIIIIIIIE!!!***

*ahem*, anyway, watch FMA on Adult Swim, tomorrow (Saturday) at midnight, Eastern Standard Time.

Before I go, I want to be the first to admit that I confused Miyoko-chan's proposed character design concepts on her post yesterday (the 12th) for a girl. Erin admits to making the character like that on purpose (like Momiji), so I don't want to hear any wise-cracks about me being gay or something!
It's a completely different feeling of awkwardness and humbling stupidity when a guy mistakes another guy for a girl then when a girl mistakes a girl for a guy (Not that that ever happens! No fair!). This is true even involving a guy/girl that's just a drawing.
So, I don't want any sh*t from you people, you got that? Now let's never mention this again, OK? Good.

"Chinese Food Girl" (gift-art) by Neolucky:

I don't know why, but I find this pic unspeakably charming. I've always adored people who can create a character, giving them the theme of a specific idea or object. Neolucky is an example of that kind of person, and as you may have guessed, the theme she combined a human character with was that of Chinese Take-Out.
What are your opinions? Thoughts? Comments? C'mon! We're artists here! This is the stuff we need to do!
