Escaflowne and Synchro

So, I'm watching the FINA World Championships syncho swimming competion tonight, they're showing the duets, free program, and the Chinese duo used music from the Escaflowne movie. Specifically Dance of Curse II, with a bit of Enya's 'Only Time' (instrumental version) mixed in halfway through.

How do I know this? I love the OST for that movie. (Hell I love that movie, period.) I think I bought the special box set of the movie years ago just because it had that soundtrack. Even now, the track 'Sora' still inspires me.

I doubt I'll draw what the song had made me imagine last night, but the fact that this simple, 2:24 long song can make me think of something new almost every time makes me smile. It really is my favorite track off the whole CD.

PS. Canada's main swimmer is creepy... That's right, Marie-Pier Boudreau Gagnon, you creep me out. Everytime I see you, I can't help but stare at your ginormous forehead. (Guessing that's what's happens when you pull your hair back the same way for decades.)

It's always great to hear background music from a show I watched and loved years ago showing up out of nowhere on TV. Makes me feel all nostalgic and shit.

Today's post includes a mostly-finished (HA!) sketch that I just can't seem to get right. The arms hate me. Probably because the pose hates me as well. Well, fuck her! I don't need her. She can kiss my ass.

Yes, I'm being belligerent for no reason. Meh. ^_^;;
