Hey Kirin.
YES! Exactly! If you get sick, add ginger and garlic to everything :) I've heard that honey and cinnamon every day actually reduces the likelihood of falling ill so if you are in a petri dish setting (I work in such a crowded environment) then you may be more prone to wanting the tasty options prior to getting sick.

@Bats: I hope I'll be much more productive today than yesterday as well; yesterday was pretty much wasted since I didn't understand what the teacher was saying. Today should be better since the instructor would be teaching us stuff that I at least know about.

@Maiden: I hate ginger Can't stand the taste of it, even in little amounts. I love garlic though, and would probably happily add it to every food I know if I can. Same with black pepper.
I guess I'll have to stock up on honey and cinnamon, since I'll probably end up in one of those petri dish settings.

lol look up the ingrediants in Chai teas. The black pepper and cinnamon are several of those ingredients :D Whenever I get congested, I drink a lot of those teas. Otherwise my pleasure is Oolong teas.

Funny how sometimes the most basic (and inexpensive) stuff out there is also the very things that can be enjoyed and help health at the same time :D

Ooh, oolong is one of my favorite types of teas. Jasmine green tea and peppermint tea is also pretty good, and I like flower teas too.

I like that, otherwise us poor people who don't have a lot of money would be screwed!

Lol so true. I think that modern medicine is important and all. But for the common cold or bug that people get sick with, there are a lot of remedies out there that work well without the unfortunate side effects of chemicals that are in our medicines. A group of Italian scientists did a study with their local wines and found that in those studies, wine kept a large percentage of people from getting strep throat. A good reason to have a glass a day in my opinion.

When I was in Korea for 2 years, they had this tea. Or they called it tea, wasn't anything I had seen before. It was a jar filled with a yellow gel. A gloopy substance with 50+ ingrediants but the label didn't say what. It was sold as "ginger tea" but again was filled with who knows what. Any American who took a spoonful of this horrendous concoction and stirred it into hot water then drank it... felt better. A couple days of that helped sore throats and allergies alike. That said, I would be hard pressed to ever drink that again. Very strong flavored.

Oolang (Jasmine Oolang is delicious) and Chai will probably stay my favorites as far as remedies go.

What kind of flowery teas do you like?

lol I wish I could have a glass a day to keep the strep throat away, but my mom will nag me endlessly about how I'm an alcoholic and how drinking will give you liver cancer etc. etc. etc... So no wine for me unfortunately. I didn't know wine could keep strep throat away though, that's interesting to know.

Oh those! I think it's some kind of...kumqat or whatisname...I dunno if we're talking about the same substance but we have those gel-like things in jars that we scoop a spoonful out to make tea as well. It's good for colds because of the vitamin C in it I think. It's not too bad if it's diluted enough...but again I'm not sure if we're talking about the same goop. ;;

I have no idea. Like, I get various tea bags from various sources and I just grab a random bag and dunk it in hot water every few days. A lot of them don't exactly have their ingredients listed so at most I could make out that one is rose flavored, another blueberry flavored, and others just...vaguely flowery-scented.

Ooh, cool. Swords are kind of hard for me to draw as well, so many angles for the edge and handleguard.

i'll need it. i think the hardest part will be the arms.
I am breaking it down into shapes but can't find a good way to break down the arm.
it just keeps looking too skinny.

Yeah. My problem is with getting the muscles to look right and not just lumps of awkward squiggly lines.

Good luck getting the arms and hands and fingers to look right!

I want to draw muscles but I suck at it so it's just lumpy lines for me at the moment.

So many things to fix every time with a drawing.

Awesome! Are the tags something like #references or #art tutorials? I'll have to try some different search words.

but you can try that.
