Take a ride on a broken train

Its Thursday! And with Thursday comes a whole new batch of drawings.
Drawings that I quite like, to be honest.
So this one was done in my Social Research Methods course, which I was late to because I was walking slowly eating a delicious peanut covered dark chocolate cupcake filled with buttercream frosting. First the frosting was in the cupcake, and then it was in me. This was a rapid transfer.
So I was late and sitting in the front row of class doodling intently, while at the same time trying not to get called out for doodling intently.

But I love this page so very much. The middle figure just came out of nowhere. If you enlarge the drawing you can read his description. The bottom guy I seriously identified with today, having spent my morning with a doctor, and my afternoon in class. 6 strait hours of class. Exhaustion being the key word here.
(Oh, and don't worry friends, typical doctor visit: more bark than bite).
I just like this one too. I was basing this off a woman we were watching in a documentary about Intelligent Design vs. Evolution. She was all angles, not quite elderly, not quite middle aged, and her hair was an odd pumpkiny color.
Cool broad.
Fun Fact: I think Intelligent Design is a load of hogwash
Fun Fact #2: The term Hogwash originated in 1440, meaning "slop fed to pigs". In 1712 it became slang for cheap liquor. In 2010 I used it to apply to Intelligent Design.

If you enlarge this page you will notice I misspelled "mustache".
Fun Fact #3: I can't spell.
The "Holy Awkward!" moment entailed above did not actually occur around me on this day. I thought it up in my dirty mind. I've often wondered how guys manage around those types of situations. I've heard ample testimony in favor of the "waistband method". My next question is do guys just figure this out on their own through trial and error, or is this explained to them at some point?
Sorry if that offended anyone's delicate sensibilities. Deal with it.
Another old lady. I'll call her Ruth. Ruth is stationed next to a rabbit that I drew because I randomly thought of my brother's late bunny Ted. There was no love lost between Ted and I. Therefore I drew an angry bunny as an extension of my Ted related angst.

And the panda? Why not a panda?

Iced Cooly

Why hello there! It's nice to see all of you again. How was your summer? Good? Golden. Great!
Well school's up and running again, which means that I have school work that I should be doing. Which of course means that you all will be seeing a LOT of my doodles.

Because I cannot concentrate for too long on anything. We are the MTV generation after all. I need quick cuts between shots. In my films, and my life.

Couple song lyrics added to these btw. Bonus points for those who can accurately name the artists involved.
Bio 130: Animal Behavior. Science credits for those who need them, but don't need a difficult course. Even mix between freshmen and seniors I do believe.
But hey, lecture notes make for the best possible doodle times.

This drawing reminded me a bit of Daria. Thus the lyrics. (I know I just gave away the answer to one...that's a freebie).
Soc 312. On the first day we spent an hour and a half going over the syllabus. No words of any kind were written down in my notebook.
No words, just emotions...and Batman. My favorite of the supers. Read "Death of the Innocents" at some point if you get a chance. A comic in which Batman takes on land mines. Superman did the same and they actually had to pull the comic, because of an increase of child fatalities due to land mines.
Meaning that children actually died because they believed that Superman would fly in and save them.

Moving on...
Law and Lit. The class I scrambled around and settled on after one of my 4 credit classes was canceled for the term on the first day of classes. All we have to do is listen to the ramblings of cranky grandpa professor. Very smart, very long winded.
Same class, same day. He has a LOT of stories.
I like simplified figures. For one, they're easier (by far) to draw. For two, they're more fun (by far) to draw.
So many drawings, I can't be bothered to come with tags for some of these. All bio notes from here on out I think.
Well there you have it! I find myself losing steam so....

Peace!
