Got a new PS3 and Just in time for Break!

My two weeks vacation started yesterday, and that day I convinced my parents(not in a bad way) that I needed it and bragged about all the awesome shit it holds and told them how I already bought the AWESOME game Heavenly Sword, so I needed it =P My whole family is happy about the purchase, and I am too! We got as many games for it that were available at the time at the store: MotorStorm(Free, came with PS3), Lair, and Virtua Fighter. I personally can't wait for LittleBigWorld and Home.

I'm finally feeling good, school has had me stressed and I could'nt wait for this free time. Sure there's the good and the bad so far, like good is the free time and PS3, bad is the family errands I have to run...

I can't wait to start back up drawing something, or even playing past favorite games such as Final Fantasy XI. Better yet, maybe I should finally finish Final Fantasy XII, I was at the last boss but then school started back up... ><

I'm going with my family this Friday to the LA County Fair,(once again, sooooooo sorry Joe!) and then to a Ball Jointed Doll Tea Party in Glendale at the ElfDoll Store where both me and my sister, Angelica(and her friend Renee), will enjoy an evening with our BJDs and others as well as getting FREE STUFF!

I want to go see Across the Universe, but have been unable lately, maybe now I'll get the chance. Well sorry for the long chat, just catching up and yapping =P

Art Shows

Yesterday, Diego, my boyfriend for those of your who don't know, and I went to two seperate art shows because we couldn't choose just one to go to and we wanted to get signatures and photos with several awesome artist.

The first show we went to was in Alhambra, CA at the Nucleus Store on Main St. It was the Ephemera Show promoting Audrey Kawasaki and Fuco Ueda



We took shots of Audrey's beautiful work and were lucky enough to to a photo with her too, we also bought prints on which she'll be signing for us and the store will tell us when they're ready for pick up.

Then after, we headed out to China Town to go to Robocon's art show promoting their second edition to an art book called Fusion Junction 2

LeSean Thomas, famous for his character work in Boondocks, was there with Joshua Middleton, famous for various X-men works and Nyx, were there and we took photos with them and got works of theirs signed.

Well it was an amazing and fun experience.

Disney and Bioshock

So for my little brother's b-day we went to Disney and California Adventure in a three night stay vacation. Overall it was fun, but I got sick *cough* with a head cold. So Disney was a bit of a drag and for once I was the one wanted to go back to the hotel way early... I feel so bad because I wanted to show my cousin Raquel a good time before she left home, it was either her first time to Disney or her first time in a long time, I couldn't remember.

I believe we all had fun though, other then me and my sister Angelica getting sick. So for the past week now(soon to be a week in two days) I've been at home sicky, or at Diego's, trying to get to school, but every time I think I feel better, I wake with a worst feeling...

So while I was sick, my vocals have been drowning in mucus *cough* =P I can't easily go about a conversation, so I'm sorry to those who have been calling and I've not picked up. Sorry Joey!

But on that note, I decided to go and pick up my reservation of the Limited Edition of BisoShock, a gorgeous, brilliant and exciting game by the makers of System Shock (a Tale tell game with great love from its oldschool fans). Not only is its audio wonderful, but its visuals, voice-acting and scare-factor is amazing!

Heres the YouTube Link

I gladly admit that I've been to chicken shit to actually play, so I have Diego (willing volunteered) playing the game as I help with puzzles and occasional headshots. I recommend this game to all, its story is amazing, and though Diego and I haven't finished it, I'm ready to give it a 5/5.

Siggraph 2007

Went to Siggraph 07 Aug 7-9, great convention and had loads of fun in San Diego, but the day before I left, I lost my phone... and ALL those phone numbers I had. I have a replacement now, and the phone number is the same, all I need to do is wait for my friends to call me so I can re-list them, because like the dumb ass I was, I never wrote them down or bothered to memorize them...

The first few pictures are just of our rest stop we made before actually getting to San Diego.

Heres the pictures of my trip and all, oh we also went to the San Diego Zoo and saw PANDAS! but it was nappy time, so they were pretty boring... but there was a red panda across the way =P

Well, hope everyone is doing fine, Hope to hear from my friends soon!

A Blogger all my Own

I've been wanting, like most artist, to make my own website to feature my artwork and anything else I may do. Well, not being a web designer nor having the time to create/learn a webpage led me to Blogger.com

Actually what led me here was a friend of mine and Diego's (my boyfriend of 5 years =P), Mauro. We were chatting with him about art and the topic of having our own webpage came up and he told us about a site that could act as a temporary or longterm professional website for our art. He told us how alot of famous and professional artist have one and use it as their main webpage.

So, evetually I had the time to start one up, and I wanted to get started on filling it up, until I have the experience and money for a real webpage, this'll do =)

Welcome to Sasha Palacio's Blog! Enjoy my art and my seldom entry writes =) =P *hug*
