Myrtle Meets The Dragon

My friend Kiyotoe (a.k.a. The Dragon050376) commented in the last Myrtle I did that he thought Myrtle should meet him. (a.k.a. the Dragon).

So I thought about this and decided, yeah, maybe she should meet him! So for the last 2 days this is what kept me busy.

I wondered how a meeting between a turtle and a dragon would go, and my instincts led me to this............

But knowing Myrtle, she wouldn't stay scared for long, so I needed to see how things would progress as they got to know each other a little better.

Hmmm, and I supposed he'd cough a fireball! hehehe.

Ok Kiyotoe.. you asked for it... you got it! (And yes, I know you are handsomer then this dragon... but it is a cartoon, so deal with it!)

'till next time...

Is That Really You?

Well, I hope everyone had a nice Easter Weekend. It was sunny most of the weekend here, but stayed quite cold. In fact, I think March was warmer then April has been so far!

By Saturday I finished my last book by Cornelia Funke, Dragon Rider. Although it was written for young adults, she did manage to write a really fine story. I would highly recommend her books to anyone with children under 12 and her Inkheart series for any age.

I will admit when you first begin to read her books you do find yourself wondering if this "kids book" can keep you interested. Well..she manages to have some very interesting characters, which is the one thing that captures me.

On another note: I finally saw the movie: 13 Going on 30, on television. I say this because: Andy Serkis is in the movie. (you knew I had a reason, right?) Wow, he cleans up nicely! lol.

Well... I began this post yesterday, but then got distracted by my brother and then by laundry.. but I guess, as I doodled in PSP later making a list of books I've read so far this year, my mind was still on Andy Serkis.

Why would I say that, you ask? (go ahead.. ask!)

Because I wound up spending waaaaay to much time doing the following cartoon...

I won't discuss how long it takes me to do them in the computer! I'll just say if I had made this the old way (felt tip pen) and mailed it from NJ to CA it would have been there before I finished the computer one!

Ok.. so that's a bit of an exaggeration.. but it FEELS that long! This one took about 3 and a 1/2 hrs. The vision of them meeting popped into my head while I was doing Myrtle for my book list. It's the way the cartoons of her used to come to me when I did the simple, pen drawings for De and Carolyn. If the thought made me chuckle, then I'd draw the cartoon for them. So.. since they are no longer with me.. YOU get to suffer! Just be glad this doesn't happen often anymore!

After so much time in PSP my eyes were watering so bad I knew I had to get off of the computer... but it was timed just right for Dancing With The Stars...

That Apolo Ohno is just too darn cute! And, he's turning into a pretty darn good dancer! I am guessing that it will whittle down to Ian, Apolo and Joey for the final 3. Last night was not a good night for Ratzenburger, although I'd like to see him do a few more dances before he leaves. Great, he's not.. but he's done surprisingly well at some of the other dances he's done. I guess I'll tune in tonight to see who gets booted. There was more then ONE possibility!

'Till next time..

Oh, I almost forgot.. he's my "what I've read so far this year" list...

I will post it every now and then (not after each and every book added to the list). I'm curious to see how many books I read in a year. Though I go in spurts, and even have gone more then a year without reading any!
