The Columbian Mammoth

[elleflies]

I draw when I watch TV shows. I can't help it, just sitting there... watching... it makes me feel unproductive. So I scribble away in my journals whilst camped out in front of my tv or comp. So yes *mumbles* I'm putting my College Degree to good use... or something.

ANYHOW. I mainlined the last two episodes of Reaper as well as the last episodes of Life, Bionic Woman, Men in Trees and Stargate Atlantis (Holy Crap, I hated that ep of SGA) tonight and broke out my Rapidographs and went to town on a travel journal I've been working on.

This will be familiar to regala_electra, but to everyone else this is an absolutely lovely and beautiful and spectacular Columbian Mammoth the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits had set up. I couldn't help but immortalize it in my journal in pen and ink (see, putting the BFA to good use... If I say it enough I may start to believe it.)

But yes, I present my lovely little doodle:



Oh yes, The Boy is on his way back to Afghanistan today. I am quite sad. Blah

Update: MOTHERFUCKING scheduling. They just took me off a trip that had a 28 hour layover in BELIZE and they're sending me to Kuwait instead. Goddamnit.

Hee! Thanks for the offer but I think he's kinda happy to be going back. It's weird and I don't quite get it but he has his boys and he loves his job. I told him to go have fun blowing shit up. (They escort the EOD - explosive ordinance disposal - quite a bit)

And didn't I mention something earlier about my geeky ways and doing a drawing of a mammoth hmm? *g*

Well it was offered! I'll do it, just say the word. *grins* But at least he gets to blow shit up. That seems to make lots of soldiers happy. Oddly enough. I was just let you keep him and have fun with him some more. Then go back. In like two months.

Yes, but you didn't say it was a skeleton!

2 weeks really is too short of a time...

Oh. I thought I mentioned that... Ooops

[veracity]

It really is. Especially when you have to give a couple days for recouping over the time differences, and the lack of sand and crusty dirt as far as the eye can see.

*grins* Nope. Just that you were drawing a mammoth.
