Terra Nova comic book

Cambridge animator quits Disney to work on comic about the British Antarctic expedition

This Cambridge animator is my friend twirlynoodle, and she recently finished part of the comic book (when Cherry and a couple others got stuck on an ice floe with their ponies), and IT IS THE COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. I was practically crying reading it because of how much I love this expedition LOL and how awesome it was, and I can't believe I found someone else who likes the Terra Nova Expedition as much as I do! (Or maybe more lol, since she actually moved to Cambridge from California to be closer to the Scott Polar Research Institute. JEALOUS.) This sentence is also VERY true: "[the Expedition] got its claws into me that I wasn't expecting and didn't let go." Totally!! Even when I wasn't into it like I am now, after I read The Worst Journey in the World, it stuck with me, hovering in the back of my mind, because the story was so amazing. I can't wait for the other parts of the comic book, it's going to be SO awesome!!! I can't thank Sarah enough for doing this <3

I may not want my own kids, but I adore Elias (Mike and Laura's adopted son). He's so social and easygoing and super expressive (he's around 6 or 7 months old I think). He always smiles so big when he sees me, which makes my heart melt LOL (he guess he adores me too, he doesn't always smile like that with everyone..aww). He's pretty much the coolest baby I've ever met :P (heh, never thought I'd be squeeing over babies LOL)



I brush my hair every day :P

I forgot today's, even though I was around tons of boxes haha (I'll try to remember tomorrow lol), so for today I'll post what I actually said when someone dropping off books said they were heavy:

That's cool about twirlynoodle! I must confess (since I belong to the sir_shackleton community with her) that I started looking through her LJ to see just when Antarctic first pops up -- I started at the beginning - haven't found it yet!

Haha, I did that too! I think it pops up around 2007 or 2008 lol

I checked my 'antarctica' tag on my LJ, and the earliest is 2005. I'd already visited the museum at the Scott Polar Research Institute! The only way I'd be able to find out when I started obsessing (mostly about the Terra Nova expedition) would be by looking at my master list of books read. I tracked down every published diary or memoir that I could (Frank Debenham, George Simpson, etc.).

Ooo jealous, I really want to go there! I read The Worst Journey in the World in January of last year, but didn't start obsessing till after I read the novel Antarctica by Kim Stanley Robinson (July), which mentions Cherry a lot..all of a sudden at work it hit me, and I sat there thinking "CHERRY ANTARCTICA YAY" LOL. Some of my obsessions don't last long, but this one has grabbed me and isn't letting go haha. They were all such great people!
