In the Zone


I was zoned out for...quite some time. Also, after I spent several hours making this rather average comic, I spent about half an hour making this adorable pyramid. At least I made one thing that I'm happy with.
I now also know how to spell pyramid.

Gravity

Me and the boyfriend saw the movie Gravity in the weekend. Isaac and I left the cinema feeling like we'd just come from space. We also discovered that Sandra Bullock is a fox



But seriously, Gravity was a great movie. It was so atmospheric. The movie begins with a single shot that lasts for ten of fifteen minutes. It seamlessly travels from first person to third person view. It is a movie to get lost it. 

Gravity is probably the best movie I've seen all year.
I was actually scared to go see it because this is one of my worst fears, getting lost in space. I expected the film to be an hour long film about Sandra Bullock and George Clooney spinning out into space and slowly dying. 

It wasn't.
It was great.
Now go see it.

Some advice, see it on the big screen

Poo Pong




Cleaning room 0% complete
Poo comic 100% complete
It's good to know where my priorities lie. 
Don't I draw myself in such a handsome way?

Live Below the Line (Day 5)





Day 5
The toughest of all days.


Breakfast tasted like mush and had some unpleasant bran-type side effects.
Lunch was once again microwaved eggs. Super gross.
My apples were the only nice thing, I had two on day 5 because I had 6 apples to eat over the week. So that was a treat. For dinner my boyfriend and I went over to our friend Matt's place. I had enough food to make a pasta with tomatoes and mix veg but the boys insisted they eat with me. We went shopping, and then we WAITED until midnight to have our celebratory feast. I'm a little ashamed of how much food I stuffed my face with on Friday night.







SO GOOD. 
Thanks for everyone who donated, we raised $400 for Orphans Aid!!! Also, thanks for everyone who couldn't donate but gave me some words of encouragement. I really needed those. Lastly, I'd like to thank my work mates who had to put up with me on Thursday and Friday when I was loosing my mind a little bit. 



Skadi Costume Contest (Pineapple Maki)



It's Hallow's eve, Skadi and Diseasoid trot out their brand new outfits and hurry along to get to the Strip Search themed Halloween party. Upon arrival however, they discover that the party's theme was not a Penny Arcade Strip Search, but a good old fashioned 'take off each others clothes' strip search. To make matters worse, Grund is here and has no intention of stripping Skadi.


This picture is for the Skadi Comic Costume Contest. My boyfriend, Izak, did one too, you can find it here; http://www.izaksmells.com/2013/09/skadi-as-diseasoid.html
He does a really good job of emulating Katie's style
He also did this sweet 8 bit Pineapple Maki.

If you haven't seen Strip Search, you really should. My two favourite artists got to the finals, I was pretty stoked. I wont spoil it for you so you'll just have to guess which two are my favourites.

America's Cup. I've Never Been Prouder to be a Kiwi

It's been a tough day (especially for those of us who work at call centres) but it's true, I've never been prouder to be a Kiwi. I couldn't watch the race because I was on the phones all day but I was dreading the news. The thing I was dreading more than the news was people's reaction, I couldn't stand it if anything negative was said about team New Zealand.

I need not have worried.
Everyone had only good things to say about team New Zealand.
Even if they did take their frustration out on the girl on the phones at the call centre.



Lets just hope we never end up here
;)







Good on you team New Zealand!
