GermanCityGirl's Art Spotlight

There are four pieces to spotlight this time, a mixture of new faces and familiar ones.

First here's another version of my other Jedi character, Aldri Yevka. I simply love her body and expression. This artist does amazing things with the female form.

Next is some fan art of Bebe in action! I like how energetic she looks and how she's ready for action!

GermanCityGirl's Thoughts

I don't know why I've been so lazy to write a journal. I take that back. I know exactly why! I haven't felt like formatting things and looking up dates to be precise. It seems though that with a sub, you can just install a CSS skin onto your journal entry as I've done here. I'm testing it out... it's a bit pink for my tastes but I like the little figure. I opted to remove the thumbnails of Tanake/Bebe artwork. Now to try to figure out how to just link the favourite collections at the bottom so the journal isn't a mile long.

So enough stalling, on with the journal!

Since my last posting in February, our calendar has been pretty busy.

In February, we saw Strunz & Farah at Jazz Alley and David Byrne at Benaroya Hall.

In March, Cinematic Titanic came to the King Cat Theatre and GC's mum came to visit.

April was birthday month and it was celebrated in a grand fashion. There was Joshua Redman at Jazz Alley, Franz Ferdinand at the , Carrie Fisher at the Seattle Rep, David Sedaris at Benaroya Hall, and some old school D&D gaming.

Here we are in May and it's nearly over! We went to see the Flight of the Conchords at the Paramount Theatre,
The American String Project at Benaroya Hall, Seattle Kokon Taiko at Town Hall, Booker T. at The Triple Door and also The Yoshida Brothers at the Triple Door.

There's still Dwight Yoakum, Neko Case, Sergey Vashchenko, Anatoliy Yegorov + Vladimir Ivanov, Musica Curiosa, The Ditty Bops, Depeche Mode, Béla Fleck performing with Toumani Diabate and the end to the summer... PAX.

Whew. See what I mean? We have been/will be busy!

Yesterday I joined the YMCA to make use of their gorgeous cardio centre and pool. Some time this week, GC will get his bike tuned up in preparations for his meandering bike rides through Seattle. It was finally time to stop wishing that we were healthier and time to just act! It felt good too. I know the first few times I drag my sorry arse down there, it won't feel good but in time, it will. This is my mantra and I'm sticking to it.

Tonight will be a continuation of our lazy day at home. All of the laundry was done earlier (yay me!) though I haven't folded any of it (boo!). Our pot roast is happily cooking in the oven whilst potatoes bubble away on the stove top. GC will make his favourite salad of red leaf lettuce + raspberry vinaigrette with glazed walnuts, Gorgonzola crumbles, and dried cranberries. The house smells wonderful right now... mmm, tasty.

Tomorrow night, a passel of us are headed to downtown for a groovy little event called Muppet History 101 with Craig Shemin and their rarely-seen pilot for The Muppet Show—The Muppets: Sex and Violence! There will be late night Chinese food. I can't wait.

How about you guys, what's new? Any plans for the summer?
