(no subject)

I've been too out of reach as of lately with my RL friends. I open MSN today, and I guess that my best guy friend saying "Look, an Ale!" is very showy. *shifty eyes*

God, it felt good to dance today, it was damn tiring after two weeks without it, but so rewarding. and joy! Bere agreed to lend me Smallville's first season. :)

I found out today that a short story contest I participated in last year (which I didn't mind losing any bit, not with my 2nd place from the other contest under my arm XD) is running again, and I'd like to give it another try, because, damn, the prize it's 7000 pesos! 0_o So, my Spanish-speaking flist, would you mind telling me if Oleaje could stand a shot with proper editing and gramatical checking? Pretty please>? I'll still try and really write more in Spanish, before this one, I hadn't writen anything since late June. Which is depressing.

I've just fallen in love with Kaare Andrew's art (the illustrator of issues 23 and 24 of Ultimate X-Men). Granted, it doesn't fit at all with X-Man, and it probably was a bad idea to let him work on that, but damn can he draw. I'm a cartoon loving freak, after all, so I know my thing - drool worthy and bright and with such movement. Just beautiful. I'll have to check and see whether the guy's done any other comics - I'd be highly interested. (Uh, by this time, you must have already realized that I'm a bit prejudiced regarding illustrations. Must of the time, Early Sandman is the only exception because the story is so damn good, but it's severly lacking in the art department sometimes.)

I haven't done any flisting today. So, so sorry. I'll try and check some journals later.

No he leído Oleaje entero (no me preguntes por qué, simplemente no me apetece leer últimamente), pero a primera vista creo que definitivamente podrías darle una oportunidad y mandarlo. Como tú mencionas, editando algunas cosas y demás quedaría muy, muy bien. Aunque no lo haya leído aún.

Word on Sandman's art. I mean, it's fitting, with its - what? Roughness? But still, so very unpretty. (Ah the hack; it's got Del, and the cool friend of Dream.)

Yeah, as if the illustrator had tried to scratch through the paper, or somethihg. I bought the first volume alongside 1602, and the art put me off it for a long while (especially while comparing), but I'm so glad I decided to give it a shot.

I had a look at Kaare Andrew's website, and
when I clicked on some pics from him so I can see them better, I simply can't. :/
