rheanna27 just sent me a kick-ass SGA comic script so I'll be over here, happily pencilling. I'm so excited! :O)

SGA linkage:

springwoof has a very pretty, very image-heavy post: Things I Liked Best About SGA, Part 3: The Spaceships!. So beautiful. So cool! Not to be missed.

I signed up for a French refresher course (gulp). I'm really more interested in working on my Japanese, but I plan to go to the annual comic festival in Angoulême next January, and I found a blog post by an artist who was there, which confirmed a) it's totally awesome and b) you totally need at least rudimentary French.

I've started to read through all my French bandes dessinées (well, I'm halfway through the first) so I won't make a fool of myself in class next month - I signed up for the one that said "had at least two years of French" which I have, only that was over 20 years ago. I can only hope everybody else's will be just as rusty. Right now I could order a baguette, that's pretty much it. All I can do is read French comics, I assume because the pictures carry half the story.

I'm so excited! eeee! I can't wait!

And *sigh* rusty french, I know that one. It's so hard to keep it up (though bandes dessinées would be a good way :).

Yes, that approach works pretty well. I finished the first one and moved on to the sequel. And I actually *want* to read it because I want to find out how the story ends. It's fun, not work, that's the most important aspect for me if I'm to teach myself... I don't have the willpower to beat my inner schweinehund all by my lonesome; I know that from experience.

eeee! I can't wait!

Me either. :O) *back to sketching*
