Well.

It's raining outside. I had planned on a bike ride, prior to the sun setting. Looks like I'm gonna have to.... take a raincheck. Bwa!

So, here's something that sucks-- I created a flickr account for my art. I then forgot the email address I created on Yahoo especially for it. I don't think there's anyway to recover it, or ha><0r the mainframe. I'm kinda pissed, especially since I saved it with my specific username. Gah.

Here's something that's awesome-- I have a computer! I have it hooked up to a printer! I will have prints made from that printer! Life is not all bad! Although I did lose everything I had worked on before with the old hard drive. But whatever. I'm just glad I'm able to start over, now that I'm given the proper tools.

briefest of all recaps

Comic Con was great. I picked up some great things. I hung out with great people. Great.

My computer is still not in my possession. Not great.

When it rains..

Annnnnnnnd my hard drive fails.

Fantastic!

Time, she does fly.

What the....??

It's July, people.

It hardly seems possible. I think the problem here is my current day job. I changed jobs back in February due to some ridiculousness at my old place, and the new place I fell into... well... I suspect that it's a black hole. Time does funny things. I'm noticing that while I'm in here, it creeps by, slower than a snail. When I'm outside, time has been revving its engine the whole time and takes the break off so it suddenly accelerates and leaves me in the dust. I'm usually asleep or wishing I was asleep.

And suddenly, I find myself in July.

This is a big month-- last night was the opening of the Off-Broadway play I'm participating in (not so much acting as well, standing around).... tomorrow is the Fourth of July, which brings fireworks. Who can argue with fireworks? The 17th is my birthday (yays!), and the following week, I'm jetting off to San Diego for the Comic con! I will be helping man the table of an ~esteemed colleague~ but I will also have a tiny corner all to myself for the purposes of selling.

I'm gonna start posting the Critters finally in a few days, almost a month after they were promised! Dude, life. Oy.

Oh noes!

The Critter Creation Extravaganza has been put on hold! I didn't anticipate a couple of things--
1. Working 40+ hours a week all of a sudden
2. Being exhausted after said work
3. Freelance pile-up that consumes what little energy and ability I have post-day job


Blah.


It's okay... I expect July to be a bit better. Well. Maybe not. But we'll see!!

Hot. With two T's. Hott.

Good lord, have you been outside? I feel as though I'm going to melt all over Madison Avenue.

I was happy to have two days off in a row tomorrow, to run errands, but I really don't see myself venturing outside, and therefore away from my air conditioner.

Summer Series Madness!

So this summer, I'm gonna start debuting a new series. Tis the 50 Days of Critters.

That's 50 brand new, original critters... an unusual little menagerie of suckers. I'm plowing through, and have gotten a good number already, but posted on the etsy forums asking for any suggestions! The deal is they're each unusual, unique... mostly hybrid animals. I asked for 8 suggestions and whoever comes up with something, I'm gonna draw it and post it, then send 'em the original.

June 1 I'm gonna start posting them-- here, and on my myspace, and each one will be up for sale on etsy. I'm selecting a number of them to run prints of, and will also sell the originals. The majority of the ones I've been working on are at least 5x7, so hey! A nice size! Yays!

Rainy Evening.

In contrast, this was my commute last night. May's been rather rainy.

On the way home Tuesday--

People used to try to convince me that the sunsets in Florida were unparalleled, but I dunno. There's a lot to be said for a man-made skyline, too.
