Language...keyboard...goodness!!

Okay so I've been really lazy and not updated at all lately about anything...but that's alright because life is boring.

It snowed a -lot-. No school tomorrow, so that's nice. Apparently there was record snowfall in New York, and it even made the headline of lemonde.fr. Which is a -French- news site.

The Olympics are love. I adore pair figure skating and obstacle skiing...

I actually finished a drawing and painted it...this watercolor paper is really absorbant, so the paint dried almost instantaneously and it showed a lot of my mistakes. I'll have to practice new techniques to account for that...if I can manage to draw some more. Blech.

Anyway, it can be seen there--





Oh, and by the way.

baiły orzeł!

and

私はライーちゃんですよ！

Haha. Great thanks to Elisabeth who helped me figure out how this works. It's sooo much fun. **is in love with Polish font, which switches y and z**

More later, if I feel like it >>

>> When did you get so good at drawing? That's amazing.

*Nitpicky* When you talk about yourself, you don't use names things on the end. So, you'd say "私はライです" and they're call you "ライちゃん". ...Yeah. >>; Sorry. *Wants to know how to type in Japanese*

Heeh, right you are! Yeah my Japanese is kind of. Fester and vanish. So I need lots of Carol nitpickyness to set me straight. *nodnod* I don't think I'm going to edit it, though, since most people can't tell it's wrong and it shows the pretty mini ya works *nods*. But yes--always correct me and NEVER be sorry about it! DDD: Love.

...And I'm glad you like the picture. ^^

I could explain it to you if you ever come online. Or, how to get your keyboard to type Japanese--my computer is spotty about displaying it (I can see what you and Rai typed, but I can't get *my* computer to type anything but boxes >>) and I'm not interested enough to figure out what's fucking it up and fix it. So I don't know how to get it to actually work.

I would install them on my computer...but my computer is school computer, which is also whore.

How do you get it to work with OpenOffice though?

[arrowwhiskers.livejournal.com]

OpenOffice is mean. I can't get the Japanese characters to show up...though the Polish ones work fine on it, which is odd.

[arsinyk.livejournal.com]

Well, Polish is basically the Latin alphabet with some extra characters, right? Most of those work pretty well, I guess since they're less different than Japanese or Hebrew. Both OpenOffice and Word seem able to handle anything using the Latin alphabet and anything that it can pretend it's the Latin alphabet (like Cyrillic or Greek). The other alphabets work after a fashion, though they're buggy as hell. But the East Asian ones don't even show up as anything other than boxes and a dotted-line curser that won't go away unless you switch to a new document (for me at least).

That's beautiful. You've gotten really good with watercolours. I don't know if you've experimented with this at all, but you might try wet painting or whatever it's called, where you basically paint water over an area and then paint on the wet surface. It has some interesting effects. In my experience, it's simultaniously harder to control and gives you more leeway for you to mess up than dry painting.
