I got the Eva 2.22 DVD. Of course I haven't had time to watch it, but I got it. And all the stuff that came with it. Mug, NERV case, day planner, shopping bag, train pass case, um....there might have been something else too.....Of course since the DVD was coming out there's been lots of new products in Animate too. Revoltech makes these really cool figures....
Eva 02 - The Beast version
Mari and Asuka (test plugsuit version)
They're kind of awesome. Pretty much every movable joint you can imagine (including hair), 3 different faces, tons of different hands, cellphones, guns, blood splatters, you name it, they come with it.
Lately I feel like I'm busy when I know I'm not. Or maybe it's I should be busy but I'm not doing anything....something like that. I definitely have a lot of requests to draw. It feels like I'm down in a trench...which is weird b/c I usually don't notice until I've come back out of it. My computer is acting weird again too, almost as if it's stressed out. Maybe it's the heat.
A lot of those requests came from a school I wasn't very fond of last year. I asked to not go there at all this year in fact, but someone else canceled today and I had to. And I remembered that the reason(s) I didn't like it have all graduated now. And T*****-kun (giver of popsicles and lover of Bleach) and Y***-chan (artist of the amazing Lavi drawing) both go there. But too late now. I won't be going back. T*****-kun did give me this today though...
In class today I was thinking what a great manga character T*****-kun would make. He's loud and short tempered, but smart, and thoughtful underneath. Although, I probably wouldn't have had that idea if I hadn't been tempted to make another of my students at a different school into a character earlier this week. The teachers refer to her as "Fushigi-chan", but her name is M**. The first time we met she was in 2nd grade. She lives near me but goes to a different school than the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. It's not much farther away, but I'm still not sure why she does. She doesn't live in my building, but by the time she was 7 she had already figured out it was faster to cut through the parking lot and the downstairs hallway than to do the "polite" thing and walk straight up the street and around the building. We walked about halfway to her school together one day that year. I was going to a different one, but for some reason when I ran into her I felt like I couldn't just bike off when she was trying to talk to me. Near the school we started seeing PTA members acting as crossing guards at some of the bigger intersections. The first one we met said hello to M**-chan, and she promptly responded with, "This isn't my mom." and pointed at me.
Back then I thought it was just one of those things a 7 year old would say since anyone could clearly see from looking at the two of us that there's no way we're related. Now that she's in 4th grade....well, if I said she hadn't changed that wouldn't be completely accurate, but....I guess the term "Fushigi-chan" fits her pretty well. She's got her own...everything....somewhere inside her head. And she'd definitely make a good character.
Just because other people can’t keep up with my logic doesn’t mean my logic is at fault… it merely means no one is smart enough.
