Patience with Patients

True Story.  I was just having one of those days.

Seriously, I totally KOed some air particles and probably scorched some communicable germies.  Them air particles had nothing on Medieval Dragon Rie.

Hats off to the DEM folks.

*Blogger is being an @$$hole, clickey here for bigger and better (questionable) version of comic.  When I become a internet genius, I'll fix this but for now we're gonna just improvise.

Remedy to ER Withdrawal

The past year I had the pleasure of volunteering at an ER on Saturdays.  I LOVED it there. I loved the blood, the gore, the excitement, the chaos....

...no, I am NOT the petri dish offspring of Hannibal Lecter nor am I a product of an lab experiment that used Vampire DNA.

........I think. 

Ever since I quit ER volunteering two weeks ago, I have been.... 

...wallowing and crying meself a river.  

And thus, went into ER withdrawal.

I remedied this by...

...watching lots of violent British shows and committing coffee blasphemy -- drinking tea.

*Disclaimer:  I actually do not have a corner of my room as a shrine dedicated to the ER. I actually didn't shed a tear either. I'm not that pathetic.

Disney + Samurai Movies = Crazy @$$ Chic in My Head

I finally watched Tangled a few weeks ago.  It was FANTASTIC and it killed me with its cuteness.

...I wonder if Rapunzel's hair can "heal" the idiot/crazy part of my brain? 

Yes, I do own a magic carpet...........in my head.

Soon after watching Tangled,  my brain had a brilliant idea to watch a violent and crazy samurai movie, 13 Assassins.  Then it decided to toss images sent from the optics nerves into a blender and create this drink of crazy:

Samurai Rapunzel and Her Crazy Killer Hair

This is what I learned in college:  Don't mix Downers with Uppers.

This is what college didn't teach me:  Don't mix Disney with Crazies.

Figure Drawing HW and Neuroscience

As like a self introduction, my figure drawing teacher asked us to fill out a questionnaire and draw something.  I don't know what came over me but I decided to draw a self-portrait.  

Yupe, this is as realistic as  it's going to get...for now. 

Let's hope in three months time some improvements will be seen or any hope would be shot to hell.

On the other hand, my dad and I collaborated in drawing an happy smile.  

THIS is what neurosurgeons don't want you to know.  Our brains are actually GINORMOUS MITOCHONDRIA!!!  Thus, our brains are actually not that complicated, just feed it water and oxygen.

Curious Summer Clouds and a Smidgen of Japanese

I generally dislike summer.  I dislike the heat and the sluggishness that comes with.  

However, I do enjoy the adventures the clouds provide.

Yesterday, on my way home I encountered...

A flying DRAGON CLOUD about to take off!!!

Then a few seconds later...

A roaming DINOSAUR CLOUD!!!

Cheers to condensed liquid droplets.

Coffee and Drawing

My name is Rie and I am a coffeeholic.

No seriously, I kid you not.  I have serious withdrawal symptoms that may rival a drug addict's when I go without coffee.  This is why my sketchbook is drenched with coffee stains and my drawings are speckled with coffee spots.
