D00013- "Noises"

Art credits: The downstairs neighbor was lifted from “A Bar at the Folies-Bergeres” by Edouard Manet.  Kudos for Julie’s T-shirt goes to Neko Wear, whose garb can be purchased from www.cheapdisposable.com

I’ve recently seen what actual art majors can do with Photoshop (Emily’s recent post at www.Applegeeks.com which is no longer up, alas) and I am very, very jealous. If this were a martial arts film, I suppose I would have an aura of flame surround me and be filled with the zeal to best her, possibly while screaming upwards at the heavens. As it is, I’m working on 3 jobs and a thesis. There will be more appropriate time for radically improving my technique later.

For now, I will continue with the traditional pre-training scene: getting my butt handed to me, eating dirt, and generally not being anywhere near the neighborhood of l337.

On the plus side, there is only 1 weekend of Faire left, which should ease my time crunch. Correction to that self-delusion: I will have more time to do more, with a conserved degree of crunch. I haven’t even really rued my lack of dance-time (knee pain from bursitis, 2 more weeks of treatment at this point, before I am even considering going back to strenuous activity. Yes, a complete recovery is ultimately expected.
