A couple of things…

Right, I might aswell start with the most recent thing, fresh in the memory and whatnot. Thing 1;

The vid above is one of the awesome animations by RJDM. Check out their site! Do it!!!!!!! Their company name is like a combo of RDJ and JDM. Heh. Heheh. Hehehehe….. Yum.

Uni has now properly kicked off. One class on tuesday, which I’ll mention a bit later… and one today, meant to be two, but our teacher was ill. Man-flu or something lol. Today, was awesome. Met the head of RJDM. An animation company based in Northamptonshire. And, unlike how I usually do, I went on the site to see what they’re done that I recognised.

More below the cut, do read on!

I *think* I’ve seen the Tom Jones video before… but I can’t remember where…. There were a few more that I recalled, but there were a fair few I hadn’t. All very cool though. Love their style. Looks like it would be a fun place to work, or that might just be the feeling the head guy, Ricky o’Donnell exudes lol. He was friendly, and not patronising like some folks can be to students, which has always bugged me. Anyways yes, I wanted(asker for) his twitter account name, said he had one, doesn’t use it, but he has a facebook, and I got a business card. Love getting business cards. I think it might be my aim to collect as many as possible, whenever guest speakers come, or if I visit studios. I do going to London, so might aswell scout out some studio’s and just pop in and see if they do tours lol. Worth a go.

(I remember the advert above lol.)

Thing 2; People calling anime, manga(or vice versa), royally pisses me off. Style might look the same, but ones animated and ones a comic book!!! Worst thing was the person who got it wrong… one of the tutors on my course…. my ANIMATION course…. I wasn’t like furious.. but its sooooooo annoying when they get them wrong. Sooooooo annoying. Somebody has to agree with me!?

Thing 3; Well, and Thing 4 mixed in, since Thing 4 isn’t very big at all. I think, in the coming weeks, I’ll be posting more artwork ‘n stuff. Work in progresses. Test stuff. Showcasing it, and, getting feedback at the same time from my beloved readership. Ofc if you’re too hard, I’ll go a hole to bury myself in lol. Constructive critism is always good. Tis one of the things on the big list from todays lesson, which I’ll be writing up here, cos I love lists lol. Thing 5 maybe? Thing 4 is…. I can’t exactly remember lol, but another thing is Misha Collins. YUM. My newest favoured eyecandy/boycandy. Super cute as Castiel in Supernatural. I think cutest in that, with the hair, the coat, the whole persona. Just so adorable!

I'm sorry guys... I gotta post some... I just gotta... I'll get a nice pic of some shimapan for you at the end of the post shall I?

I have a big one of this.... wallpaper big. It's gorgeous. I can't help but stare.... meant I had to pick a different one in the end hahaha.

He is SO cute when he's worried. I saved like 40 screenshots from this ep. Just so cute!!!!!!!

Ok… I’ll stop now… so tempting to post more dammit!!! Right, most of the pics I acquired from Fanpop. And the ones with a little label at the bottom, obviously come from Misha-Collins.net. So many gorgeous pics there…. And I acquired a fair few episodes of tv shows he’s been in. Charmed, ER, Nip/Tuck. And even a movie. But he plays a scary serial rapist/killer in that… still cute though… its a tradeoff lol. As its not easy to find, stuff with him in.

I think I’ll save Thing 5 for later tonight, or tomorrow. As I have a hankering to play some Rock band atm lol. Drummies! But first, as I sort of promised, but not really lol, shimapan.

Do these poor girls not have heads? Alot of the shimapan pics on Sankaku lack heads, far as I can tell lol.
