Yes, I'm all right. Been laying low and-
What the HELL happened to my Mr. Tumnus userpic?! Seriously, who is this guy and what did he do with Mr. Tumnus?! Oh noes - I've been hacked! D:
Anyway, yes, I'm alive.
Lessee, since my last update...
Wolf and I had the shittiest vacation at Ocean City. I did start to write up all the ghastly details but it's too much - I'm having flashbacks. Oh, there were some good things like rediscovering skeet ball, winning a leopard plushie, and riding the ferris wheel in a lightning storm.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
And then there were the bad things like getting locked out of our room, coming down with some sort of stomach bug, Wolf having problems sleeping, and the ocean not smelling as salty as I recall the ocean smelling in my youth. Wolf said Ocean City never smelled salty. I have to take his word for it because I had never been there before. I want to go back to Myrtle Beach...
What else? I sorta kinda didn't get promoted at work. I'm still an admin but with more room for growth or so they say. The new boss is very laid back and says I could go into research when my stint as desk monkey ends. Not sure that I'm research material though. I mean, I got an art degree because it was the only thing I was good at! I took math for stupid people, geez!
Speaking of which, I did post a crappy drawing on my dA account. I have my dA page as my website now since chibikaki.com is gone. I have a flat-screen monitor so I'm not sure how the colors came out. Anyway, I'm hoping to get back into art as time goes on. I did end up buying the new Adobe Creative Suite 4 with some of my hard-earned cash as a Christmas present to myself. Now I want to get the latest Painter but we'll see. I'm working on another pic as I speak.
The dogs continue being good at what they do - mainly being dogs.
Onyx is getting old, poor baby - she's 10. She's got a gimpy leg and Wolf glares at me for neglecting to take her to the vet to have them look at it. She may have a bad leg but she can still murder vets at an astonishing speed that would put a younger dog to shame. I see no reason to hasten their demise when her yearly growling and voiding-of-all-orifices-on-the-exam-room-floor fest is approaching anyway.
Shadow is currently 5 and is still a very bad and mischievous dog. He's not showing any of the maturity Onyx displayed at his age and is permanently stuck in the dog-equivalent of the terrible twos. But they have totally different personalities, to be honest. Onyx has always been rather serious and not easily amused. Shadow is all about carpe diem, goddammit. On one hand, he's still very sweet and loving, but on the other hand, he may still murder you in your sleep if you look at him funny.
On the gaming front, Wolf got me Guild Wars for Christmas so I've been messing around with the classes. I joined the TF2 clan he's part of so I've got a fun group of people to play with when I'm not logging into the really busy do-or-die servers. I heart the retro art style so bad though.
Heavy + Medic = OTP!
Scout update is supposed to be coming out soon so I need to start practicing with Natasha. Though I've been doing more GW recently since it requires less thinking. I did finally play through Diablo 1 for the first time ever! I did it with the Warrior and the graphics made my eyes positively bleed. He has yellow skin. Ew. It cracks me up that I first played this game almost 10 years ago and never made it past the caves.
Now we're planning to attend a wedding later this month in ice-bound effin' Kentucky provided more of it isn't planning to fall on that weekend. Seriously, who does February weddings out there in the godless wastes of the bluegrass state?! I'm crossing my fingers because I'm in the mood for a crazy, sleep-deprived weekend road trip.
Yeah, so that's it in a nutshell. I haven't updated because I got tired of writing. There's only so much material and my life is certainly not as exciting as some. And work will suck the life out of you and a crappy vacation won't help either. Here's to hoping for good things in 2009! |
