Fun_Strong

More coloring practice, this time off a sketch of a classmate from my least favorite part about my Yale education: Spanglish class.

The pun is based on Tara Strong, the voice of Ben from Ben 10, one of my top favorite animated shows. Also had one of the best theme songs, too. I haven't really been able to get into the spin off series, though.

Haven't slept in over a day as color practice continues. Really happy with how my next one came out...

YDN_zlm.TechNoLogic

Because all that typing really is furious note-taking.

Easter Eggs: Professor Garcia Marquez lecturing about Borges (a double whammy of torture). Sigh, Myahaha, and Pfft. My horrific Spanish essay translated back into English is today's lecture.

Fun Facts: The time on the computer is when the class is supposed to end, and yet it keeps on going, doesn't it? Also, this is the second of my two mandatory technology-themed comics, so like Spanish, I am now done with them forever as far as I can tell.

Baa: I most definitely want to go back to Japan.

By lunch time: No more Spoonglish ever! Take that, Mom!

Herald_zlm.Expedition

Sun's out, puns out, run, shout, wear your buns out; one scout done spout, "fun's 'bout" (bring the guns out).

Zero Romance #3:
Expedition
<- Previous...Next->
-First-

Easter Eggs: Green Monkeys, Romance 3 on blackboard, plant monsters, Conrad, bore hez, Apocalypse Nyao costume, FB01, "Yale" in notebook, plus those stupid summer scarves feem-yalies are wearing (please stop).

Fun Facts: Today's setting is William L. Harkness Hall, or "DublAYTCH" (as non-losers call WLH). Spanish classes have an insanely high female to male student ratio, especially the more advanced you get, thus the female Gung-Ho-Spanisher.

Baa: I hate Spanish class, and wanted to study Japanese for four years, but took Spanish for my foreign language requirement because my mom insisted, plus I sorta would feel guilty learning another language before Spanish cuz...well, you know. As a literature major, I have to take three classes in an untranslated foreign language, so I got screwed into taking 3 more Spanish classes. Lotta 3s today...

I'd bet most take Spanish reluctantly for some requirement, even at the advanced levels. Hearing about a Gung-Ho-Spanisher is so wow, it's like hearing a murderer confess.

Good things about Spanish...? Oh! You will always meet incredibly beautiful people. Guaranteed. It's written in the Blue Book. Check it. Plus you also meet diverse people in the pre-400 classes cuz there's always new people realizing they must take a language.

In conclusion: Nobody will admit Borges is overrated as poop. This frustrates and confuses me.

Fun_Table42

This is a costuming exercise featuring our Quarters Crisis heroes, originally meant to be a restaurant scene with Ben ordering a table for two.

Easter Eggs: ELLEGARDEN and Makishimamu Za Horumon!

Fun Facts: Ben is short and wearing a jacket based on one of my Spanish classmates. Also, I bought both bands' CDs in Japan, in Japanese.

Erregahden wa doku desuka? Yosh!!

Strawberry, strawberry pie.
