"One toot on this whistle will send you to a far away land!"

Since I'm not taking any classes this semester (due to my ANXIETY and because I, oh, slept right through every registration period D:) I've decided to try and get back in touch with that artistic side I've been woefully ignoring. (I sound pretentious!)

And hey, at least the money I'm not using for tuition can go toward paying to get my wisdom teeth removed and a new pair of glasses.

Up first, papercrafts! Okay, so they're not really "artistic", but they are fun to make as long as I don't get glue all over my fingers. I've had several video game related patterns saved on my hard-drive for some time now, and I finally bought some cardstock the other day to make them. ( Three (3) papercrafts under the cut: one (1) Snake in a Box, one (1) Portal paper tribute, and one (1) Silent Hill 2 paper tribute. )

Tomorrow: My first (very simple) attempts at cross-stitching!

Persona 3 progress: 9/18, 64 hours.

This game has managed to hit three of my weak spots: precocious kids (Ken), heroic dogs (Koromaru), and robot girls (Aigis). Seriously, if it gets any better than this I'm gonna explode in happiness.

Various video game crafts: Chain Chomp Hat (also includes instructions for knitting your own), Super Mario Softie and Brooch Set (I admit to SQUEEING over this when I first saw it), and Mario quilt.

Pacman Cupcakes - Very cute.

Sign Language Matchbooks - This person has used matchbooks found on the street to create the sign language alphabet out of the matches. How creative!

Game Design Essentials: 20 Mysterious Games - Too lazy at the moment to summarize this, but anyone interested in old school games would probably enjoy reading through it.

Dueling Analogs has been fairly hit or miss for a while now, but the latest MGS4 strip (aptly titled "Draining the Snake") is hilarious.

Prince of Tennis Character Ranking meme - ( My Top 15. )

EDIT. Rereading over this post, it appears I have abused my use of overused the colon key. XD Too much, Kathy, too much.
