Today is a productive day! Meaning I've been cleaning the hell out of my apartment, and got enough sleep today. It's actually sunny and warm, too! That isn't due to my productivity, but it does probably influence it.

Uuummmm, less productive on the art/writing front! My apologies to those who care, it's a shameful lapse.

On another note, I played Left 4 Dead for the first time a few days ago. It was fun-- I'm very good at shooting my teammates and getting lost in the walls. I've also got a special talent, I'm proud to say, for setting off the witches and making them kill me! ...What, that isn't the point of the game?

Anyway, back to laundry folding. I'll put up more art at some point! Maybe I'll just post those old art class pics I finally scanned...

Not really a land of confusion, I just really like this song.

So! I actually have been drawing lately, and doing art-type things, I've just been too damned lazy to scan things or finish coloring anything. A large portion of my art is nearly finished, and will possibly always remain as such. (I have this thing where I don't finish things. It's consistent and nearly a disorder, I think, applying to books I read and pretty much any project.)(I should also be writing instead of working on this journal, but...!)

On a productive note for something I actually have managed to finish, I went on a cleaning rampage! Ignoring things I need to write or draw or do, I... spent many hours deep-cleaning and rearranging the apartment into a state of increased prettiness. It's now moderately satisfying! Yay!

My brain's currently rebelling against doing anything more productive than that, though.

On another side note, I finally played a game of D&D! Adrian let me take over one of his chars in a campaign with himself and his gf, so I got to try being a hack-and-basher, which is a style I greatly prefer. I learned fun things, like the fact that somehow, in spite of all logic, you can consistently roll only a 2 with a d20. Battles with my character were epic in that they went on forever with me even trying to land a hit on low-level enemies.

I also have a new manager at work, so I get to meet her tomorrow. We'll see how that goes!

Time feels like it's been passing bizarrely fast lately!

I keep making lists and intending to do things and then realizing that weeks have passed like days-- even more so than usual. It's actually a bit alarming.

Tomorrow I have a day off in which to do about a dozen things I need to do, and mostly all I want to do is write a bit, finish up a Near picture and... something else... eat snacks? This is probably not going to happen.

Went to PAX for a day and to Kumoricon for all three days, and it was much fun. Got to visit much with Stephnike and Rachan, sold two Mario purses I'd made (to friend-types, but still!) and didn't get much sleep. Oh! But I can now say that I've been carried by Mello, which makes me delighted. One of Stephnike's friends gave my tentacle-monster halfbreed self a ride across the wet grass because I was in sandals and long pants and she is crazily strong. (You can see pics of how awesome she and her Matt are on :iconblackfruitbat:'s gallery! Blackfruitbat being Matt.) My brain can still not wrap around how she carried me. I'm taller than her! ...That really doesn't mean much since I'm only 5'2", but still!

I'll badger my sis for a picture of that later if I remember to. Or if she reads this. *waves?*

The best scene in the world was when a random fanboy came running at us in the park outside of the con and shouted at our Mello for a hug. Without missing a beat or even looking at him, Mello pulled out her gun (a nicely real-looking thing) and shoved it into his stomach, told him, "No" and kept walking. (Matt was nicer, she gave him a hug.)

It's a scene I will hold close to my heart.

I also, at PAX, made a pic of Jonathan Coulton while he was doing his mini-concert thing and gave it to him after the concert thing, then promptly fled in embarrassment. I think I also announced that I was fleeing.

Anyway, the biggest news is that Heerichan's currently in Osaka until Christmas Eve. I haven't gone crazy yet, but expect to! I figure reality will hit me in a few weeks and I'll start talking to the rats like they can talk back. (Honestly, even if they could speak, I think they'd be too dumb for conversation.) Heerichan, have fun! I'll try not to kill your plants! I remembered to water them today!

Still Alive

2 min read
Have you ever noticed how in the summer, it gets really hot out?

Well, we've been experiencing a bit of that phenomenon here of late. Heerichan's currently passed out in the living room in front of the AC. I would be, but hunger woke me up, and then the internet decided to keep me company for a while.

So, yeah. Mom's still moving to Florida soon, but happily, she brought me over a few bookshelves! I now have 6 set up here (hey, not all of them are full shelves! Some are sort of cute half-shelves.) so all of the non-essential books are off the floor. Essential books are: Death Note: Another Note, DN13, and whatever book I'm currently reading. That way I have easy note-taking options and reading at my fingertips within my perimeter of laziness.

Somehow, the floor has no more room. I think I just took the room not used by books and filled it with paper, random bits and bobs from my pockets, and a few purses I'm decking out Mario style. This happens faster than my mind can comprehend.

On a similar note, the bookshelves at least helped get the rest of my boxes gone, so I feel accomplished in that respect. However, we're getting behind! Heerichan and I've lived here a year, now, but we still haven't modded the apartment. Aside from changing the skin-- I mean, painting the walls-- we don't have any customizations up besides a few things in the kitchen. Maybe we can work on that tomorrow... Hrm.

Note: This entry has nothing to do with Dublin, or Irish things in general, even potatos. I've just been listening to the version of that song by the Dropkick Murphys too often, and so.

Anyway, it's come to my attention that I can be a complete idiot sometimes. Most times. Very often. I've been too lazy to get a new subscription to dA, and so I stare at the messages and art-to-look-at piling up and completely avoid the situation by... reading fanfics maybe? So I often don't get around to replying to comments at all, or sometimes reading them for a month or so. This isn't because I don't appreciate and love the comments, it's only because I'm lazy!

I've been trying to stay a little more on top of things in the last... er... two weeks or so.

Unfortunately, consistency is not one of my virtues.

Anywaaay, not much else to say aside from the fact that colds suck, the weather's been crazy, and the USPS is on my shitlist for delivering my fourth archive volume of ElfQuest to the wrong person. I still haven't found it, but I'll ask the apartment manager tomorrow if there's any way to find who ended up with my package and didn't return it to me and lynch them. My sister and I have some of the original printings of EQ, but thanks to mom they're a bit moldy around the edges.

On a positive note, I finally found some Sherlock Holmes collections at a half-price bookstore! I've been looking for a few months now, I've meant to read at least a few of the stories and never got around to it. Also, Heerichan got me an L bag, which I shall make use of when the rain isn't threatening the bag's existence.
