Teaching the Neighbor Girl to Draw Manga
The little girl next door has seen some of my drawings and asked me to show her how to draw manga. It’s like Japanese cartoons/comics.  So I’ve printed out some of the tutorials I used and gave them to her. I draw better when I’m looking at an image. I sort of figure it out as I go.  I really don’t like the kid and I like most kids. But still, I’ve no reason to say no to helping her.

Kyle is playing a game on his computer. Sydney is sick again today and is in her room. Earlier I watched two episodes of Supernatural with her. I’ve been watching the whole first season with her. We already watched season two.  Jessica is at my mom’s house babysitting her dog. I know it sounds stupid, but they want a babysitter and the kids need the money.  I think my parents secretly like having them spend time with the dog. She’s a short Jack Russell Terrier.

I have to do kid swapping tomorrow. I’ll pick up Jess and leave Kyle for two hours while she goes to martial arts. Then I take her back and get Kyle. She’s trying to earn enough to buy a new bed.

Sydney got an old cracked bowling pin from bowling last Saturday. She’s just finished decorating it with sharpies. She had a lot of fun. I think the Advil is working because she won’t stop talking now. LOL

I’m writing and listening to NCIS. Funny huh? My brain likes to be busy. But, it likes to be quiet too.

I’m trying to figure out how to get the time to go to Rainier this week but we want to be around when my mom has surgery.
