To make a long story short, I'm stuck in FL until mid-March and have LOTS of time. My husband got a job in Texas and until we close on our house in Mid-March, I have to stay in FL with our 8 cats. Needless to say, I'm bored with all my time. So I started entertaining myself with shows on Netflix. First it was just stuff on TV and then... the Anime.

I shouldn't have watched Anime... Now I'm back into my fantasy world wishing I could be with those characters and have them as real friends. XD Oi. My current anime obsession... FullMetal Alchemist. I started watching it on Cartoon Network a while ago but didn't usually stay up late enough nights to watch the whole series. Now, I have more than enough time and I found it on Netflix. I watched the series in about 3 days and I couldn't get enough. Then I found out there was another one, FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It's not a spin off but the story re-written to follow the Manga for which it was started from.

Now, call me crazy or make fun of me but I watch the Dub versions of Anime, unless I feel they suck and then I'll watch the Sub versions. But normally Subs give me a headache and I get confused from missing either something visual or something in the text. So I cave and watch the Dub. I know... Bad me... But as I watched Brotherhood and read parts of the Manga (in english), they actually matched almost word for word so I feel the Dub is good enough. Unfortunately the dubs stop at 39 right now. The 4th DVD will be out at the end of this month and then I can finish watching.

In the meantime I can watch the movie which is based off the first FMA and the fun little OVA's that I bought. Hopefully for my birthday I'll get some of the DVDs of Brotherhood or the first series.

But now that I'm in the anime craze I've gotten back into drawing. I'm so bad at it. >< I've never really been good, but now that I haven't done anything in years, I'm exceptionally bad. I'm not too bad with faces and even hair, but bodies... not happening. But alas, practice makes perfect. Unfortunately one of the best ways for me to learn is to copy. So if I post something and it is a copy I'll make sure to put a note in.

Anyway, I hope to be able to create some of my own artworks in the near future after I get back into t he swing of things. Hopefully you'll see that stuff soon.

But for now enjoy the latest pics from a wedding that I've done for my friends Campbell and Rae. Enjoy!
