The Happiest Sandwich in the Galaxy

"So how was your day today?"

"Well, my sandwich smiled at me while I was making it, so that was kinda the greatest thing ever."

Every year on the first Saturday of May, there's a National Free Comic Book Day. The comic stores hand out free comics – usually with a limit of three or five comics per person. 

Anyway, my family went to the comic store and got our free comics, then browsed around the store for a little bit. There were so many people there, and a lot of them were dressed up like superheroes. The best cosplay I saw was a dude dressed up like Tony Stark (with a stunningly accurate beard and Arc Reactor t-shirt) who was there with his daughter. She was dressed up like Iron Man. SO CUTE

Some of the t-shirts and mugs and toys they have there are so. Awesomely. Cool. I am such a Marvel fangirl. xD

My sister pointed this book out to me, and once I started flipping through it I was just like "Nope. I have to have this." It's a really, really cool book. I'm glad I bought it, as I am a huge Guardians of the Galaxy fan. This is my favorite book at the moment just saying

WELLP the bottom line is I ended up buying a book. On Free Comic Book day. Isn't that always how it goes?

Did you guys know about Free Comic Book Day?

*coughs* Are too many of my blog posts featuring sandwiches? Why is this? I honestly don't know

WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENIN' RECENTLY:

• For no real reason, my sister and I took time-lapse videos of us rolling our eyes. #things sisters come up with It was hilarious. I highly recommend it.

• I was doing watercolor and wanted to test the color before putting it on the page. Naturally, I grabbed the closest bit of paper on my desk and covered it with blue paint tests. A bit later I flipped the paper over. . . aaaand realized it was a half-finished study card for the definition of ribosomal DNA.

#the moment of realization #whoops #I'm a bad student

• Clearly, I am absolutely in love with the French language. It's the best subject in my schooling right now. :D

• I found this brilliant quote:

"'It's always in the last place you look.' Well, DUH! Because you stop looking after you found it! HELLO!"

. . .Which actually pertains to me quite nicely right now because I lost my favorite eraser while drawing about a month ago and I'm still searching for it. XD

Hi... I Wrote a Poem About a Sandwich

After reading The Piano Girl's poem about a jar of peanut butter, I decided to share a piece of my homework with you. I had to write out a plotted poem (basically just a poem that has rising action, a climax, and falling action) for my Literature class. Naturally, my subject of choice was food. It's a little long and a little embarrassing, but oh well here we go. Hope you like it! XP

I laid out the bread, some cheese, some meat –

vegetables too, onions and beets

Added some green with lettuce and spinach,

For ‘twas lunchtime, and I craved a sandwich.

The cheese curled off the silver knife,

And I had to eat for quality of life

As the ham was layered, thick and moist,

My stomach made sure its hunger was voiced.

All assembled, and all present,

The sandwich I had made

Stood proud and stood scrumptious;

not an onion was mislaid.

As I took hold of the sandwich and breathed in the scent,

I knew my hunger had now reached its peak!

But ah, read on, please do, please do,

For the rest I am too sad to speak

Not my hollow stomach

Did the sandwich fill and restore;

‘Cause I did only what a person like I would –

I dropped it on the floor!

‘Tis good, thought I sadly,

watching the cat enjoy my lunch

That at least a meal went to someone hungry;

I’ll find something else to munch

Captain America: Civil War sketches!

Hello hello!

Weeeeelllll haha I know I haven't been on since before Christmas *hides* so we'll just breeze past that and glide into the post I hope you had a nice Christmas and all that

I love this movie so much. Seriously. CA: Civil War one of my very favorite Marvel movies. It has fantastic action, good pacing, and I like literally every character in it. So naturally, the other day I was designing some of my favorite characters as dragons. ("It is a weakness with me, but to be fair to myself... it is my only weakness.")

Without further ado, here are the sketches I was doing in my journal. :3 Hope you guys enjoy them!

Spider-Man

Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier

Vision

Steve Rogers/Captain America

Oh yeah, all of the text beside them are from songs. In order, the songs are 'Left Hand Free' by Alt-J, 'New Blood' by Zayde Wolf, and 'This is War' by 30 Seconds To Mars. Alright, thanks for looking! Have a good rest of your weekend! :D
