Hi everyone,

Last Saturday was the Earth hour. I didn't know :( My husband suddenly started turning off all our electronics and told me about it. I think it was a very nice idea and I am happy we were part of it. So, I don't know if you guys knew or were aware, but we could turn off all our lights and electronics for one hour (8.30 to 9.30 pm) to show our support and help our planet for a bit. I would have liked to know before, so I could tell you all about it and maybe you could have been part of this movement (if you didn't know, of course). Anyways, we still got next year. :D

On other things; the US, it is really a fun place to be in. They say Latin Americans are very friendly. Well, I think people from the DC area, here in the US, are REALLY friendly and nice people. I find them a lot nicer than people from Mexico City. They are always willing to help and say hello and of course, there are exceptions, but in general, they are great. Unfortunately, immigrants are usually the opposite. :( They tend to be in groups and by themselves and won't talk to anyone (usually). Actually, once they realize you are also not from the US, they open a bit more. ;P I am really amazed by the amount of people from other countries in here... REALLY amazed. I knew there were many... but seeing them... it is another thing.

DC is actually quite impressive. I have to admit that all this time I have always thought of the US, in terms of history, design and architecture to be below Europe. DC probes me wrong. Their Art Museums are impressive. Not only their collections, but also their buildings. The structure of the city is very nice and it is small enough to walk it in one or two days (like most European cities and very much unlike Mexico City, which is HUGE). There is a LOT to see here. There are the Smithsonian museums, which are all wonderful. Especially the Natural and Aerospace ones. The Kennedy Center (for concerts etc, which by the way, happen almost everyday, depending on the season). The Zoo, is one of my favorite places :P And there is Georgetown, with its European architecture and the well known Exorcist's Stairs from Georgetown University.

I like it here a lot :) the only thing I hate is the cold weather... which will turn into a very hot weather in summer, so it is alright. I could go on and on with the differences between the DC Area, Mexico City and southern Sweden, they are really interesting! But I might bore you all and make this journal a bit too long. Anyways, we got a new videogame! Valkyria Chronicles... addictive... really addictive.

Take care!

Bueno, este fue mi comentario para la consola DA, espero que les halla gustado... chau! ^^
XD But I checked you already, I always do! I think that you should keep drawing because your doodles look promising! I hope you can get a new scanner soon and show more of your stuff.
I do have one but I have no access to it. And thanks, the current conversation I'm having with someone about how I cant draw at all is kind of depressing me. ';promissing' is like an art critique saying im amazing at the moment.

What? You expect me to say something here?
:( Don't let people put you down. If you like drawing and you want to improve then all you have to do is practice, practice and will, I think that helps a lot if you enjoy doing this :aww:
Thanks. I just need to find the time to practice these days. Well if I'm going to be serious about drawing I suppose I just best leave the Xbox alone and draw instead. haha
