Too tired for complete sentences

Home. Not as many drawings as hoped. CBC not off lockout yet, alas. Must have tea.

8:56 pm - Having Caught my Breath
So, the wedding is over, and I have survived.... Really it wasn't as bad* as I was fearing. The location was stunningly gorgeous even though it was raining and chilly most of the time (I like rain...). The ceremony was nice, the guests pleasant. I don't even know if there was any ribald conversation at the reception dinner table because I was on the end and couldn't hear anything over the music, so spent most of the night in my own little cloud.** And there was food.

I managed to get a whopping total of ONE drawing done all weekend – I spent most of my time practising the violin or eating and the one day I had a nice stretch of uninterrupted time, I had a drawing block, which was alleviated too late, alas. The weekend wasn't about drawing anyway, so I shouldn't be complaining.

Appropriately enough, Undecided Adrian is the member of the Smoking Gnu that has given me the most problems... I had a sort of epiphany at work the other day and doodled down some ideas (which may find their way into this cut tomorrow – STAY TUNED) but still didn't get it quite right, then I drew this on Saturday. It felt very close to being right at the time but now I'm not so sure. Oh, Mr Emery, why are you so coy? All I want to do is make a bittersweet black-and-white 'photo' of the original four members of the Gnu being all happy, because every secret organization – especially one on the losing end of a battle against an evil power-grubbing madman, which has lost one or more members in a tragic and/or suspicious way thereby saddening but increasing the resolve of its remaining members – needs one of those.

*By 'bad,' of course, I mean 'tiresome and/or annoying' because I have a severely constricted vocabulary at the moment.
**Insert humourous bean song here.

Always good to hear family events going well. Congrats to the bride, and for you for surviving ^_^

Alas, I haven't read enough Discworld to know who this person is (though very well drawn). I've only reached the Wyrmberg in The Colour of Magic! *hangs head in shaaaaaaaame*

Hope you don't still feel kwahhh.

You kinow, thinking about it, all Rowling's names are alliterative, so maybe she liked the name Quirrel so much she wasn't willing to let go of the tricky 'Q' for a first name. I mean, come on, how many Q names do you know that would fit well with Quirrel?

Wow, um, you did a lot of reaserch.

And by "practising the violin" do you mean "practising Corelli with a cello-playing doctor?"

Glad you're back and you survived the wedding ^^

Augh, weddings. I shudder at the very mention of them. I'm doing the bridesmaid thing for my cousin later this month, and oh God, does the fun never end.

Why did they put you on the end of the table? You poor thing, it's no fun if you can't at least join the drunken family conversation!

terry's coming back to me........

OMG! Your name is Rebekah! ME TOO! Awesome! I've never met anyone with the same spelling name as me! Ookay, just had to post this.

I like it! Well, I haven't been to a wedding since I was like, six, so I can't say much on that topic. But I was the flower girl. I do remember, though, one scene where I kind of stood in the middle of the hall while the wedding was on teh "You may kiss the bride" part, and I kept on throwing the flower petals on the floor, and my mom kept on trying to pull me into my seat. And that's really all I can say, but yeah.
