I can't remember the last time I cried so much. I have just switched on the TV and started watching the animated movie 'Spirit: Stallion of the Cimaron.' I have literally caught the last 40 minutes of the film and I am crying my eyes out!! and I don't even know the story.

Movies make me cry so easily. I think it's the music! I'm a sucker for sad music. My mum said that when I was little I used to cry whenever she played any sad music.

Take That (pop group. I never liked their old stuff but they grown into dapper looking men with fantastic emotional music)
Merlin (TV Series, the two actors who play Merlin and Arthur are soooooo cute)
Little Dorrit (ITV adaptation of Charles Dicken's novel - beautifully shot, emotional. Fantastic cast)
Heroes (My fave characters are Hero and Silar)

Yeah! So pretty cool stuff on TV right now! Although a couple of the series are coming to an end now!

:D

Just a quick sketch I started last night and finished today. I haven't had much time to draw or paint lately *sigh*.

If I have time I might turn this into a painting.

I used this image http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2344/2508410552_9f65a699ff_o.jpg from Vogue Magazine as a reference. I couldn't think of my own pose.

Thanks.
