Whoo. I managed to get everything done that I needed to this week. Work, two PE exchanges, hang out with friends, go to the temple, direct the music at stake conference…it was hectic.
I still have comments to answer, sorry peoples.
Those PE exchanges:
Western Themed Lightning Round, for Ylla. We figured out that the last time I drew Ylla for Ylla was 6 years ago for a Christmas exchange. Ah, nostalgia.
Don’t Look Down!
Rd. 50 for Myre. I had fun with her characters. XD Completely psCS: sketched, inked, and colored, which is an accomplishment. ^_^
Another quick blog to say:
Noein. Noein, Noein, noein, noein, noein, noein,noein,noein,noein! (Don’t read the wiki, you’ll spoil yourself rotten. Like I have.)
I’m on episode 15, and it is so wonderful Fabulous Wonderful loveLOVElove.
Quantum physics, and obsessive transdimensional timewarping love. Wack ugly chara designs, wild awesome fights with choral soundtracks (yes!), mindbending juxtapositions of bizarre scifi action and sweet home-town childhood life. LOVE, so much LOVE.
And of course, I’m a shipper. Yuu is such an everlasting angst-muffin.
WHOO! NOEIN!!
Quick blog to say:
CONGRATULATIONS to my brother Mike for just being accepted to Brigham Young University’s School of LAW!!! w00t!!
He’s going to be a Supreme Court Judge, someday, y’all. An extremely fantastic one. XD
OBJECTION!
Overruled.
My new job is going well! I’m doing graphic design in the ‘Imaging’ department of a local newspaper, the Baytown Sun. So, it’s newspaper advertisements. XD
Which is really nice: I’m not that experienced with graphic design, and newspapers aren’t known for major excellence in graphic design. The point is to design it quick, with accurate information, and get it out. So I’ll get lots and lots of experience, without pressure to make it spectacular, which is a relief.
It feels like it’s my first real job as an adult. It’s in my field (yay!) and has benefits (insurance, yes). I’ve gotten to make several cheesy Valentines graphics already. Hee hee. Very fun.
My biggest challenge is font choosing. Finding the right font can be HARD. We build the ads in Quark, with Illustator, Photoshop, and Acrobat for specific things, and access a clipart stock account for graphics. We’re on very pretty and powerful Macs, which is taking some getting used to, but is working pretty well. The biggest change is coming home every day and switching back to Win keyboard shortcuts. ‘Ctrl-’ vs. ‘Apple-’ can be killer. :)

I updated my Dogwood Blossoms Inu-fancomic a few days ago. Read the end of Chapter 1 Here or Here.
I’ve created and uploaded a Vash the Stampede fanmix, because Vash is LOVE. Get the Vashy-music here.
I’ve gotten a new job!!! (I just have to wait for my drugtest to come through….)
My other job I had for a year ended on the 19th, and I’ve been able to find a new one! So exciting! And relieving. More on the new one when I’ve actually started.
It’s good I’ve found a job already, because my car has $600 worth of problems I have to pay for tomorrow. gehhhh. Stress.
Fenikkusuken, one of my favorite Inufic writers, just recced my Dogwood fancomic! squeee!! *runs around excitedly* Thank you so much, chicka!! ^__^
Welcome all new watchers! The next Dogwood installment should be out by next week. XD
OMG I finished. After spending all day and lots of yesterday on it, and after years of using a nice but canned layout, I finally made myself my own COPPERMINE GALLERY LAYOUT!!!
My gallery, finally, is my own!!!! Completely! YAAAAY!!! See, look.
Even has a top banner, and everything. Did the background tile myself. That’s the first time I’ve done that, it was quite fun.
Art I did yesterday, which is now part of the banner:
I’ll probably redo that banner sometime soon, once I’ve got another piece of art I’d prefer on it. Not entirely satisfied.
Happy New Year, peoples! Since, I’ve, like, neglected to say anything about it till now. Yah.
I never blogged about how over Christmas break, the J-Fam went to Mexico! Only about 5 blocks in, but it was Mexico! It was a glorified shopping trip, where I finally got that black cowboy hat I’ve been desiring for forever, and attempted haggling for the first time. And now I can say that, yes, I have been outside of the US once in my life. 5 blocks outside, over the Rio Grande by footbridge. XD
I’ve just had 2 Ice Days! Not that it was really that icy, but it there wouldn’t have been much for me to do even if I do go to work, since my job is processing new contractors, and they don’t work in icy rain.
Went to The Hobbit last week for a friends birthday, and my car was towed!!! AGHEHgh. Anyways, the Hobbit is a hole-in-the-wall Houston restaurant that you have to love the theme of, even if I wasn’t a fan of the vegetarian-tex-mex-brown rice menu. I wanted something more British with lots of meat, cheese, and bread with that name. Oh well.
Just updated the Sess/Rin fancomic, p6-11, check it out: http://purplerebecca.livejournal.com/228040.htmlÂ
OMG, we got a Wii.
Evidentially, we have connections at Toys-R-Us. XD A lady from our ward works there, and reserved one for us when they came in this morning.
SWEET!
Though Zelda has a midi soundtrack. I hate midis. Drat.
