Explanation

2010-05-10T13:43:00.002-05:00

So I missed a post last week because I was dying. Now I missed another because I am far away from my white board.

How does tomorrow work for an update?

2010-01-29T00:38:00.001-06:00

Sorry if you liked the old layout, I just thought it was too cluttered. Got rid of half of it, and put it the useful stuff on the side. There might be some things at the bottom.

That's not like, a teaser or anything to get you to look down there. I honestly don't know what I put at the bottom of the page.

You've voted. Well, some have. And it seems that two were neck and neck for most of the voting time, and the third completely dominated.

Chicks, Tits and Boobies with Andrew Bird came in third, after going strong for a week or so. Peck-Up Lines with Andrew Bird just barely beat that by one vote. You know what that means.

Drawings start again tomorrow. Hope you all had a good holiday season.

Okay, one more

2009-12-18T11:55:00.002-06:00

I couldn't bring myself to introduce a new segment, then just LEAVE for a month after ONE post. So here's one more just to let you know that I'm serious about it.

Merry Christmas

2009-12-17T21:13:00.002-06:00

Can't say if I'll have time to update tomorrow. So, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and such. Don't die. See you in 2010.

Mothra is crazy as fuck

2009-12-16T18:12:00.005-06:00

And now the introduction of a new segment:

I will update this with a new pick-up line every monday. Submissions are welcome, as are clever titles for this segment. Preferably bad puns about Andrew Bird/Birds/Pick-up lines. I might be the only one that thinks this is actually funny, but it will definitely get me to update every monday. At least.

2009-11-05T22:07:00.003-06:00

I go here sometimes...

Also, SO MUCH reluctance to erase that last drawing. But I finally did it.
sigh. You really should have seen it in person... I used every color that I own.

2009-10-29T22:37:00.002-05:00

Okay. Sorry. A strike was selfish or something.
Here are some scientists.

STRIKE STRIKE

2009-10-28T23:13:00.004-05:00

So, my absence has been my silent strike, but now I am speaking out:

NO ONE VISITS THIS BLOG I am certain.

Well, that's maybe not true, there are over 3,000 page views and at least 1,000 different people that have been here.

I could name them on the toes of my right foot, those people that still visit. NO ONE COMMENTS and that is the only way that I can tell if people are reading/looking at this. Do I have to start making a poll every week again? I thought I could trust you guys more.

So as of... some days ago, I'm going on strike until you people name yourselves. Sam, you're covered. Madelyn, you're probably good too. Gilly? Colin? James? What happened to my dear, faithful visitors?

Anyone else? There must be some people that secretly linger. SHOW YOURSELF. Show yourself, and I will once again draw.

Mmmhmm

2009-10-21T22:03:00.002-05:00

Lookit that shit. So smooth. So suave. Lord Byron straight up.

2009-10-20T19:53:00.000-05:00

hah. did this on Greta's board WHAT.

Umm. Yeah!

2009-10-15T19:48:00.004-05:00

Greta is practicing cello next door. That's why I drew this. The first thing I thought of when she told me that she was going to practice, was "huh. yeah... cello jello" because my brain is weird like that.

so.

last three drawings I did, did not go up. I apologize. I think I need an assistant. Any takers? You won't be getting paid.

Kenya Kenya Kenyaaaaa

2009-10-07T23:04:00.006-05:00

Remember that? So good.

Also, as a bonus, my t-shirt design for Sanford this year. Ballah.

Hah

2009-10-06T23:31:00.003-05:00

See, I've been doing school. A lot. But I keep trying! I drew one on Greta's board. And I've drawn a few other things, they just haven't gone up here. So to make up for it, I made a blind contour drawing of Zachary Levi as Chuck (from the show Chuck...)
ENJOY

Whew

2009-09-30T21:49:00.002-05:00

So yeah, this week had (and still has) lots of work... and most likely more sickness ahead. Allergies. Unavoidable. Mean. Allergies.
I did draw a few things on the board this past week, I just never got around to putting them up. Sorry about that. Won't happen again any time soon.

Busy

2009-09-22T15:15:00.001-05:00

I've been busy and sick. Can you wait until tomorrow?

Wow.

2009-09-18T07:17:00.003-05:00

I made this at like, 11:00 last night. And didn't upload it? I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I'm already slipping.

Yummmmm

2009-09-16T22:16:00.001-05:00

Delicious. Absolutely delectable.

Eesh This is all I had time for

2009-09-14T22:12:00.002-05:00

At least I got in dinner and a shower

2009-09-05T14:57:00.003-05:00

As promised:

New white board, new colors, new eraser. I AM SET.

I just... need some ideas now.

GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERWORLD

2009-09-01T15:32:00.005-05:00

Not only is this not a white board drawing, it's not even a DRAWING. But honestly, I feel like shit for having left this site to the dogs, TO THE DOGS. I literally don't know where my white board is... But I have a good idea (under my dresser?). I bought a heavy-duty white board eraser, I'm getting serious about this shit, and I fully intend to keep the blog going. Just. Not until I get back to school.

Speaking of which, I will be going back in exactly one week. At this time, next week, I will be pushing my furniture around and hanging up dumb college posters and a considerably smaller amount of clothes. Yes.

So, see you there? Bring your galoshes.

Done

2009-05-12T21:04:00.002-05:00

I am a lot like the slow loris. I will work toward my goal, out of this awkward, furry cocoon, and burst forth from it a beautiful, Carboniferous Dragonfly.

Who is going to be where this summer?

Nearing the end

2009-05-09T16:23:00.002-05:00

I cannot say whether or not I will continue drawing whiteboard things over the summer, chances are slim, but regardless, the school year is ending.

It's very likely that I'll only stay a few more days at school.

I don't know what the future of this blog will be like.

I just hope I don't keep you waiting until September 1st.

There will be a reckoning

Flight of the Conchords. A few nights ago. It was grand.
There was a now infamous fire alarm, and Bret went shopping in Dinkytown for wigs? At least that's what I heard. Regardless, he knows what it is. And that will go down in my book of cool.

2009-04-29T17:40:00.003-05:00

Sorry that I missed another day, but it took me an entire day to come to grips with erasing Andrew Bird, and then a slightly shorter amount of time to try and draw him again (to no avail). Also, hi Kellen!

Listen up, I just work here.

2009-04-27T19:23:00.003-05:00

Well, if you think there's something else, well you're right, there is, there's something else.

(Also, a quick hello to people who have never been here before: Hello! I am Marie, and I draw something new every day. This started as a way to keep me occupied in my first few lonely weeks of school. Unfortunately for you, I have more of a life now, so you get new drawings every week day (give or take)...(mostly take). Thank you for spotting this on twitter, facebook, stumble, or just finding it through dumb luck. And thank you to regulars, who read all of this, even though they knew it. Thank you.)

Yay Hippo!

Oh and by the way YOU GUYS voted (something like 12:2) in favor of keeping the gross web cam photos with my ugly mug on the side. Sorry two people... Or one person that voted twice.

Perhaps, one of these days, I will archive everything with nicer photos from my camera, and people can go visit those on a flickr.
