Yesterday, Movie Talk, and Beyond

The title here is reminding me of "Bed Bath and Beyond". What a weird store. At first glance they sell household amenities. Towels, shower curtains, bathmats and blenders. And then you start to find out of place type things like lawn chairs and little plastic back massagers. Not to mention those strange "bladeless fans".

But I do not post to talk of bizarre department stores.

Yesterday I drew a picture.
Oh dear.
I'm afraid I'm a very, very less-than-skilled portrait artist. Faces are fun to draw, but I really struggle with proportions.

This is what I mean:



Agh!
Leauphaun! Zethra! Heeeeelp meeeee!

For some reason, I've convinced myself that my depiction of Asa Butterfield looks somewhat better upside down.


Why this is, I have no clue.

Okay: So I've got work to improve on in the art department. However that may be, I have this strange compulsion to edit my drawings once I've scanned them onto my computer.

Take a look.



I LOVE DOING THIS! (Not that it betters my artistic talent, but I love to bring the darks and brights out). Ahhh...I could probably spend a few days between Picasa and Paint.net blending every single pixel of the picture to my heart's content. Actually, I have better renditions of this sketch on my own computer that I wish to share with yaz all, but seeing that I'm not actually on my own computer, this one will haffta do (until another post).

You may call me a geek if you like.

On another note, I charge you in the name of movieness to NOT see this movie.


Ai yi yi! Mirror Mirror was not worth the $1.50 that was spent so that I might see it at the cheap dollar theater.

...*sigh* Yet another movie in which to explain to children that they have a "special power within themselves" with which they can do anything as long as the put their minds to it.
This completely compromises Philippians 4:13.

That, along with the dopey plot line and predictable dialogue turns this movie into a total, rolling-your-eyes disaster.
However, I'm curious enough to go and see this movie.


Do you, like me, find it strange that two Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs parodies have come out at nearly the same time? What's with that anyway?


 Until another time and another place,
K-Minty
