Saturday, August 8, 2015 "Almost Relaxed."

Week: 51
Songs to Remember: Champagne - TVXQ

        Now that I'm done with the Joy Luck poster, I could finally relax. Nothing else I gotta do, except my AP Bio work, but besides that, I'm almost relaxed.

        The poster overall, I would say, took about 3 hours, in total. I did it over the course of a couple weeks, so. Printing, doing test prints, took around 10 minutes. Online editing, drawing, with GIMP and all that, took the majority of the time. About 2 hours. The rest was just cutting everything out, as well as cutting the black construction paper for 3D defined outlines on everything, just to bring it all together, not make it look all that tacky looking.

        The drawings were all done in GIMP, using a weighted brush and pencil, a bit of stock graphics for the brick wall in the alley picture. The double-face drawing was inspired by the Rhett and Link logo. The chess pieces were also stock-drawn. I also had to come up with a title. Going off by an example, I had to put the Joy Luck Club and author on there. As for the mother/daughter relevant title, I thought about movie titles.

        I then thought about other stuff than movies, I ended up thinking of "Haunted Junction", one of the first anime I've ever watched. I then remembered that my characters had the last name "Jong", so that fit perfectly. "The Jong-tion of Lindo and Waverly". Get it? Because junction, "Jong-tion"? I swear, if my teacher doesn't find that funny or clever, I'm slapping a bitch.

        Today was just a relaxing day. Skyping with my cousin, Bane jokes, a couple League games with my buddy, as well as gossip in our Skype group chat (with my buddies). We first talked about cringey Facebook posts, moved on to other random shit, who we find the hottest in our class of 2017 (kinda cringey now that I think about it, but hey, it was fucking funny). As well as sharing screenshots about incidents with our classmates, cringey ones, etc.

        There was one where we made fun of Dn for posting "Single AGAAAAAAAAIN" as a status. It was all in good fun, we didn't say anything to her, we all got a good laugh, just for the moment, never minded it again. But really, she posted that and a whole bunch of dudes got thirsty in the comments. Like, damn son. There was a dude who, eh, said "Mom... Why do you leave everyone of my dad's when I'm just getting used to them". That's level of cringey I'm talkin' bout. GAHHH.

        School, more random shit, whatever. A lot of stuff we discussed, very, very, relaxing. Kinda reminded me of when I used to talk about cringey or bootleg posts on Facebook, back in So Don't Be On With Her. Ummm, yeah, uh, I found a lot of new songs today. Still been watching Running Man. I am now on episode 247. Still got a lot more episodes to get through to get caught up.

        Oh yeah, I'm still having crazy fucking dreams. I just treat it as something regular now. As for sleep, I sleep through some of my alarms sometimes. I also feel sleepy in the afternoon, which is NOT good, as I don't want to take naps again like last year. Anyways, see ya.

Oh shit, forgot to put a picture of the poster.
