Trust me, I have lots of good reasons why I've been missing in action:

1. Worked two jobs for a while...on the plus side, the credit cards are paid off!

2. Promoted at work...awesomeness...the added responsibilities actually feel good.

3. Moved to the big city (now I have a 20 minute drive as opposed to a 40 minute drive).

4. Scanner died...so I'm getting one of those sweet wireless printer/scanners when I save up the money.

5. I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

The the immortal words of Han Solo...it's not my fault.

Anyhoo, I'm now volunteering at two churches -- although I have this 5th grade thing down so well, I'm actually NOT scared I'll screw up this year.

I'm more to ritzy Carrollwood (the Tampa Bay epicenter of stay-at-home moms, I think), the bunnies (except for Dakota God bless his little pink nose) are chilling by the kitchen.

Oh yeah, and I'm actually doing artwork again...yay...

Just wanted to let everyone know...I have a TON of ideas for artwork...and no time. But I really need to get a start on all my Christmas art, so I'll put stuff online as soon as it's done.

Okay, for those of you that don't know, I didn't know a Ratchet from a Ratbat until a year ago when I saw the Transformers trailer before the second Pirates movie. I decided to go rent the ENTIRE old series. That show actually held up pretty well for a twenty-year old cartoon based on a toyline.

And I just got back from seeing the movie. Holy cow. It was awesome. I never was a Bumblebee fan, and now I think he's the cutest little trick pony ever. I was left wanting more, but not in a bad way. More like 'the sequel's going to kick even more butt' sort of way.

So, go 'roll out' and check out the movie.

Sorry, everyone! Didn't mean to jump off the map, but I finally got a new computer. Nice little HP laptop. So I do have a good reason for being short on drawings. Still, my fingers are itching for some work to do!

Okay, so listen up everyone. Got to give my kid brother props for introducing me to Avatar. Sure, I watched a few random episodes back in college (Appa does look all cute and fluffy), but he convinced me to Netflix the first season.

Dang! What a show. I wish I had stuff like this as a kid. This series has been solid the whole way through. Nothing really dragged, and the characters are more engaging than I thought they would be. Two thumbs way up.

So, rent or buy the series. That is all.
