Who dat! Who dat! Who dat!


Also, check out my cousin and her two kids on the front page of my hometown's local paper:

Ah, Misty, you WOULD just ram right into Drew Brees.
And damnit, why is my 14-year-old little cuz that much taller than me? D:

I had to take a break from commissions, so here's a super-quick pin-up girl. Anatomy is terrible, but shut up.
:p

This just made my whole God damn day.

Yay!

I finally got my power cord for my laptop! I've been working my commission in short bursts because I'd jury-rigged the old cord with aluminum foil and electrical tape, which...really isn't all that healthy.

Now to draw like a mad-woman and finish this picture up!

I love drawing Warcraft characters. <3

So I got a new twitter account.

First I learned the horrifyingly hard way that Tony Danza is uncircumcised. Now, thanks to my sister-in-law's equally horrifying curiousity, I now know that Steve Gutenberg jogs pant-less through Central Park every morning.

My laptop cable is dying and the new one isn't going to be delivered until the 21st. Work decided to start laying off the "offshore" agents without increasing the amount of "onshore" agents, so our workload is fucking ridiculous. And now photoshop AND illustrator say my activation code is invalid. Grar.

I decided to wear my hair curly this week.

I've never had so many people come up to me randomly and touch my head.

Something I drew at work. I took the picture with my cellphone, so please to be forgiving the quality.

Today I am officially a quarter of a century old. And because it's my birthday, I have to avoid TV unless I want to see a bazillion Elvis movies and documentaries.

Nick got me two books: Vampire Haiku and Zombie Haiku. He also ordered Super Mario for the Wii and says it should be delivered today. Squee! <3

The girls at work made me a big yummy confetti cake.

This is an awesome birthday.

I keep busy at work.
Keshik is my engineering shaman orc-lady. I loves her.

...Her eye is crooked. :/

Absolutely everyone who was anyone had heard of and was dying to try the famous Xombee diet. There were, of course, a few naysayers calling it unhealthy and unnatural, but after one particularly nasty tooth-and-nail debate, one of the loudest opponent found himself without a leg to stand on.



Just a quick sketchy before I hit the hay. I really need to get myself a new stylus, omg.

Through the awesomeness of being related by marriage to someone who messed up her laptop and preferred buying a new one instead of letting me fix it, I am now in the possession of a new (to me) Compaq Presario. All I had to do was recover her files and then restore to defaults. Woot woot.

So now I have to decide what arty program I'm going to put on it. I use photoshop a lot, but I'm always looking for something better. I tried my hand at Artrage when it was still in the baby-stage, but is it worth getting the full program? Or should I just stick with PS and illustrator?

Oh, I'll be so happy to be able to lounge and draw again. My desktop PC just made drawing awkward.

EDIT: Well hallo thar spambot. And goodbye.

I'm trying to find duct tape so I can "fix" my graphire stylus. Does anyone know if the bamboo stylus really does work with the graphire tablets OR does anyone know where I can find an actualy graphire4 stylus?

I've looked through several sites that will advertise it, show a price and then when I click it says "Sold out!" Well, great! Take down the ad! They don't make those pens anymore. :(((



Oh! And please to be watching Sita Sings the Blues. It is outstanding! And free!

Even though I know the next week is going to be me taking people through the baby steps of operating their new PCs and gaming systems, I'm happy for the holidays to be winding down. Yesterday got pretty rough with me hitting low hard and Nick not really knowing what to do with me. I've finally leveled out and it's about time.

Monday was Solstice and Nick got me an orange iPod nano. They were out of blue so I thought orange would be perfect because I enjoy bright and ostentatious things. I also got a save the murlocs shirt with the money my grandma sent me. It's so cute!

Yesterday, Nick decided we would watch The Star Wars Holiday Special. My mind will never be the same. THANK JEBUS CHEWBACCA'S WIFE AND BABY ARE NOT ACTUALLY CANON.

We spent Christmas with Nick's parents and sister and it surprisingly didn't go too terribly. We exchanged presents, joked and chatted, all while telling Nick's dad to sit down and relax for once. He frets and fusses like an old lady, I swear. Nick's parents got us a 32" HD tv so we can play the Xbox on a decent screen. They also got me some pretty Tibetan jewelry and a comfy sweater. Gretta (Nick's sister) got me some paper for origami and a book on how to make origami jewelry. Margot and Bill (Nick's parents) got Gretta a book on Law and a Japanese wedding teapot and they got us a book on babies. Those are some heavy-handed hints, my friends!
I also got a Met Kids water colors kit. It amuses me. *^_^*

We then had the traditional Chinese food and watched the Star Trek movie, which again broke my brain, but this time the logic portions. Also, I've officially reached my lens flare limit.


So another holiday season survived. And now I have $15 to spend on iTunes. Any suggestions, my musicphile friends?

Happy Winter Solstice, my lovelies!

I had to work today, but it's okay, because this is my desk:




:3

This is the only real reason to use an auto-tune.

Why does it have to my drawing hand?
