Gnine

So after nearly a month in Seattle, xparrot and I are settling in nicely. While we're missing quite a bit about Japan (first and foremost our friends and our Sat. night fangirl group, the fantastically convenient public transport, hearing a foreign language all the time, and yes, even teaching, etc.) there's a lot to be said for living with our bro. Besides the obvious joy of having all sibs under the same roof *does happy dance*, there's numerous other bonuses. Like their new house's amazing view:



And their adorable cats:



( More on the views, the cats, and how we've been keeping 'busy' Stateside... )

Sadly, despite copious amounts of glorious free time, I've had a bit of an art dry spell...but, did finish one pic recently! Just a quick Man from Uncle sketch, touched up a bit in Photoshop.

Hm, apparently spring really is my time to vid. It's weird, the vids I've started any other time never seem to get finished...:-p

So, the brief story behind this goofy little MUNCLE vid. There we were, on the bus back from Ha Long Bay and I'm happily drowning myself in music, trying very hard to be blissfully unaware of how much time our bus spent occupying the oncoming lane of traffic, when xparrot leans over, all excited, with the 'best' (or was that 'worst') idea for an Illya music vid. "There's gayness and Russian lyrics, what could be more perfect?!"

So of course, once the idea was in my head (and the song playing on repeat for most of the drive back to Hanoi), the rest was unavoidable, really...Apologies in advance to my father (whom my mother will no doubt share this with), for raping his childhood. Blame neechan, it's entirely her fault! ^_-
