quote of however-long-I-feel-like:

Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things - trees and grass and sun and moon and stars.

Suppose we have.

Then all I can say is that, in any case, the made - up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones.

-Puddleglum, The Silver Chair

Terrible Yellow Eyes.


To hold true to the art theme I had going for a while, here's a site called, Terrible Yellow Eyes


It's a tribute to Maurice Sendak and his lovely children's book, Where the Wild Things Are
Random artists may contribute their own pieces based off of the book. 
The picture above was actually made by a student of Maurice. 

I think the one above is my favorite. 


I wish I could make art like this. 

But, alas, I cannot. 

Such is life.

Kazu Kibuishi








Oh my gosh. I want every one of these beautiful pictures. They sell them in inexpensive prints, but the problem is, I don't have anywhere to decorate right now. *cough* christmas/birthday idea *cough*

Kazu's blog, store, and the books I want.

neigh. that's what a horse says.

So, we went to a rodeo on Friday night in Ft. Worth. And I'm kinda ashamed, a horse running (galloping*) around in a circle to the song God Bless the USA with a girl holding a dumb flag on it's back made me more emotional than that stupid movie Charly.



I'm not gonna lie. I found the horses more attractive than the cowboys. I know... that's bad.



I forgot to mention under the new things list, I cut my hair with the help of Reyna!



Also, the day I went to the library, I also went to the Dallas Museum of Art. It was gorgeous. And I kinda want to do this with my window and a bunch of little umbrella straw thingies.



They also had Cinderella.



And I loved it.

Themes.

I just returned from seeing the movie "Up", and I feel like it had quite a few good messages.

The one Disney was probably aiming for: even if you don't travel the world, catch bad guys, or save people from burning buildings, life is an adventure.

Themes that kept hitting me throughout the movie:
No matter how busy and hard life gets, don't forget to do something exciting every once in a while.
Live your life in a way that you won't regret later.
Aging isn't something to be feared, but embraced with those you love.
Don't linger on what could've or should've been, but be content with what was, and look forward to what will come.



Overall, an exceptional movie. It redeemed Disney from the Beverly Hills Chihuahuas mishap. Although, that G-Force preview was very disheartening.

tat.


So, if I got a tattoo... (which I won't), I think it'd be along the lines of this.
