Candle Jokes, Ear Pains, and Prints

How has everyone been doing?  I hope well, that would make me feel better. 

I've been watching movies and George Carlin comedy specials while recovering from a severe inner ear infection after I went to the doctor's on Sunday and he said it was just a slight infection in the one ear and a dysfunction of the Eustachian tubes.  Today, I went to the ear-nose-throat guy and said, "Still can't hear, still #(@* hurts, can't wear headphones, and can barely hear in my right ear, WHAT THE HELL".  He looked in my ear, poked a little inside, gaged how badly I was twitching to get AWAY from the slight touch, asked if it was sore in the space in front of my ear (which it is, and it's swollen too), made sure my ear drums were reverberating properly, and then concluded I needed oral antibiotics in addition to the ear drops that I was taking anyway.  He put a cotton wick in my ear.  I almost laughed and made an ear candle joke, but he took the bottle of ear drops and squeezed FREEZING DROPS into my ear, and startled me so much with it, that I forgot my joke.  u.u  

So guess who will be going back to work on Friday?

So, I've been watching movies.  I discovered (okay, you know what I mean) The Devil's Carnival.  If you watched Repo! The Genetic Opera, and you liked it (or at least thought that Graverobber was hot and the music was fun), watch The Devil's Carnival.  It tells the story of three souls that go to Hell and have to learn the lessons from their lives, as they apply to three of Aesop's Fables:  The Frog and the Scorpion, The Dog and Her Reflection, and The Devil and His Due.  My favorite songs are A Penny For a Tale (it goes with the Dog and Her Reflection), Grace for Sale (Terrance Zdunich has this wonderful, deep, velvety voice), and In All My Dreams I Drown (Again, Terrance Zdunich).  Anyways, I messaged Carro and asked if drawing Olin and Tybalt as the Scorpion and the Frog.  <3


Still working on that one, but yeah.

I've been revamping old drawings and working on more stuff, like Doctor Who drawings--like this one--and then Labyrinth things like this:



I love this one.  *nods*I'm working to color it soon.  ^^ I re-did this one:


I love how that one turns out.

So today, I went to the ENT specialist and unleashed hell--there were four small children who were behaving well but didn't have anything to really do in the waiting room.  I showed up with my bag of sketchbooks, pencils, markers, and pens, and proceeded to make all four children whine--"I WANNA COLOR!"  I tried not to grin when one of the children walked over and watched me for about three minutes until his mother stopped him and made him go back to where he'd been sitting. (I felt bad, almost tore out a sheet of paper for him... but then he got called, so I didn't)

Last one:



Oh, I have prints!  =D  Postcards, notecards, and I'm waiting on a mug that I designed--all on my own!  <3


That's all for today.

Oh, one last thing before my quote of the day.  I started a new DA account because I locked myself out of my old one.  *nods*
