Hello, November

Wow. November is already here!

It was RH's birthday on the 22nd of October. And because he's such a dear, he said he wanted to go to the San Diego Zoo (which is what I wanted to do for my birthday but we couldn't afford it).

I did quite a bit of sketching. Not enough photo-taking, I think. Last time we went to the zoo, I took about 800 pictures of the polar bear playing with some tree branches.

So many of the animals were fighting. The rhinos were fighting, the sun bears were fighting, and someone said that the polar bears were at it too. We didn't see the polar bears fighting, thank goodness. I love polar bears and probably would have been very upset to see them bloodied up.

Below are some sketches from my handy-dandy sketchbook. I'm not very good at cats but I certainly did try.

 Anyhoo... happy November, all! I read somewhere that November is Blog Month or something and some people are trying to write a blog a day for the entire month of November. Guess who's going to try and keep up with that challenge?

How Time Flies

Just a brief warning: There is a picture of a whole roasted pig in this post... If this grosses you out or it offends you, I'm sorry. It's part of my culture and it was yummy :)

Its been so long since I posted here. The past few weeks have been... fantastic and horrid at the same time. Work, life, love, family... all of these take up my time. Creation has to wait and I go crazy in the mean time. Sorry to all my friends and family who have had to deal with me being so insane.


In other news, there were two birthdays to celebrate the past few weeks. I turned 23 on the 23rd of August (YAY!) and my nephew turned 6 on the 29th. I went to the Santa Ana Zoo with RH for my birthday. Lots of monkeys (the guy above desperately wanted a spider that was crawling on that leaf. We watched him try and try to get it but he wasn't able to... ) and happiness.


We drove up to my hometown to celebrate my nephew's birthday. There was a MOUNTAIN of presents. And he said mine (The Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary, thank you very much) was his favorite. There was yummy food (mmm... roasted pig) and awesome people. It was nice seeing my brother's family and friends after being away for so long.

I'm going to make an effort to post more. I think about this blog and my blog friends everyday. I wish I had just a few more hours each day... I need to make those hours happen.
