Weather, TV, art and videos

Hello!

I have no idea what I'm going to write about today, so you get some trains of thought. And yes, I could write about the differences between Finland and USA, but I'm kinda saving that for a rainy day. Also, I haven't really been out so........ I know that the traffic sucks here. People just don't drive as nicely as they do back home.

So, the conclusion to last week's story of the broken heating device. Yeah, it was properly broken. We had to get a fixer guy come and there was a part they needed to order and we didn't get heat back until.... Wednesday I think. It's been cold. Even now it's not super warm, but at least it's more that 4°C, haha.

Speaking of cold, the snow situation is kinda crazy. I mean, it was super warm on Tuesday (like 10°C) and over half of the lovely snow piles melted. Then it froze again and the ground was super slippery and there were these sad little half melted piles of snow around. But today it snowed again, so at least the ground is now completely covered.

As I told you, we went to see Frozen with Anna in Colorado. It was good. Like, for a Disney movie, it was super good. Have you seen it? If you haven't, go see it. It had amazing songs and lovely characters and a surprising-ish plot twist. And unlike most Disney movies it wasn't about the prince getting the princess, it was about the sisters finding each other and growing as people. It was really quite lovely. And the trolls were cute. If a bit pushy. Also the Swedish guy, oh man.

Jumping from movies to TV, I AM NOT PREPARED FOR "HIS LAST VOW" (the Sherlock series 3 finale/epicness/cliffhanger of a lifetime)!! Like oh my GOD. Mary Morstan is perfect and lovely and gets along with Sherlock so well and is an exceptional female character and will probably die or back stab someone voluntarily or not and I don't think I can handle it. UGH. Yeah. So, you know. Watch Sherlock. The previous episode was so great. I am so excited right now! Also Supernatural is coming back next Tuesday, but if I start talking about that this post will become a mess of incoherent sobbing/flailing/muttering/etc, so instead I'll just leave this here and move on.

You wanted pictures of Cinnamon? I've got one for you.

I know, it's awesome. Very proud of it. It's drawn with a mouse, btw, because my tablet pen is broken. While I have actually drawn more (a few concept sketches of how the characters look, a centaur and faun anatomy study and a pose of Cinnamon shooting an arrow) they are all in my sketch pad and I do not have a scanner! So I can't really show them to you. Sorry. Also, I know you want pictures, but dude. Have you any idea how long it takes? Like, I have to design the characters and places and scenes and then draw them which is also a time consuming thing, because sketching and inking and coloring and blah. And if we want the pictures to be digital, I need a new tablet (or at least a pen) before that's happening. So let's just think about an actual physical book a bit later, yeah?

The story itself could use some editing, so you can do that? Fix errors, and inconsistencies and stuff like that. But yeah. I will maybe possibly one day post more pictures. About this or something else.

What else? Oh yeah!

The reason I said I wanted to start a vlog is because I want to talk. Like actually talk out loud. And possibly influence people. I have been watching a lot of youtube videos lately and I kinda want to give someone the same experience that I have gotten from watching other vloggers. And it's not like we're gonna do this blog forever, you know? When I get back to Finland, it doesn't really make sense to continue it, does it? But I don't know. Maybe I'll start one when I start University. That'll be fun. 'Cause I have the time and everything, haha.

Hey, future! That's what I meant to talk about. Damn. I'll talk about my future plans next week. Now I think I'll go. Eat a pear. Then watch the kids. Bye~

Pie out.

P.S. I told you I've been watching a lot of youtube lately, and I found a few channels you might like. The DNews and Numberphile. DNews have a lot of interesting scientific news stories, which are short enough to watch even if you have just a little time. They also explain everything pretty clearly, at least in my opinion. Numberphile has longer videos and they focus solely on math and numbers and all that. For example, did you know that 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+ ... +∞ = -1/12? Yeah. So check them out, maybe?
