i still need to finish this game…

murphy’s computer

my CPU fan died again. well, i guess that’s what i get for buying a cheap chinese one (but it was all i could find on short notice that would actually FIT. damn you socket 478 urgh) luckily, my dad saved me from buying another one by giving me a nice, official intel heatsink off a motherboard he wasn’t using. hopefully this one will last me longer than a year. but all this is a reminder that i should really upgrade my computer one of these days…
then, when i booted everything back up, my wireless adapter was like HURRR INTERNET? IDK WHAT THAT IS. apparently the last time i shut down, my adapter program crashed and managed to wipe out my network profile. easy enough to fix, but i’m hoping my computer doesn’t have any more surprises in store for me, seeing how i have an art deadline coming up real soon. (i hope it won’t be long before i can post it! but for now it is a secret.)

also, iron man and the hulk were both very good. i liked iron man better, to be honest, because i absolutely loved all of tony stark’s witty dialogue. hulk had the better fighting, though (and oh, ed norton. <3) and the things both movies are hinting at…oooooh…but, i’m hoping this project doesn’t run out of steam. the spider-man and xmen movies started out great — then around #3 of each, sort of piddled out, did stupid things to all the characters, and closed themselves off to any good, further sequels…

i still can’t decide what to do for the background on this…

also, this was my father’s day present to my dad:

got the recipe here.

so my AWA table will be in the dealer’s room. sigh. i’m glad i got a table, but i would really prefer one in the AA rather than the AAM, because the majority of my sales come from sketch commissions, which are probably going to be harder to take in the noisy-ass dealer’s room, if anyone even comes in there with the intent of getting commissions done (that’s more of an AA thing.) well, i guess this’ll teach me to make more of an effort to catch registration on time. maybe it’ll turn out a lot better than i think, too. i just feel pressured to sell more merchandise/craft sort of stuff if i’m going to be in the dealer’s room, which requires a lot more money from me up front, which sucks ass if sales don’t go well (which is very possible, with the consumer economy being rather crappy lately.)

currently working on this scarf, after finding some $1 bargain yarn over the weekend. i’ve done a couple other scarves this summer too; i wonder if i should make a few more to sell at the con?

art-wise, i seem to have too much to do lately and not enough money to show for it. (alex, i know what you are thinking, shove it!)

i haven’t done a bunny photo post in a while, i suppose i should try to snap some new pictures of them again soon. unfortunately though, i cannot end the post with a usual “floyd.” picture — he disappeared a month or two ago. :[

so uh, i didn’t get my AWA artist’s alley registration in before the tables filled up <_< not used to them opening registration this early in the year! (usually it's in june...)

so i might need to find someone to bribe into sharing their table with me 8D ANY TAKERS?

also, those posters are up on sticker booth now!

posters

got my sample posters from sticker booth today, which means they should be up for sale on their site soon! i’m really pleased with everything i’ve received from them so far, it’s all high-quality stuff. i think i’ll end up ordering a lot of it wholesale for AWA this year, though i don’t know how i’m going to display it all on my table, hahaa.

in other news, my birthday was nice :] josh got me an apron i’ve been wanting (yay, no more spilling flour and oil all over my clothes!) derrick got me a cake, and i went out to eat with friends and family.

i’m aaaallllmost done with persona 3…level 97, final areas of tartarus, completed all of elizabeth’s requests, now finishing up social links and making all my big beefy personae. hopefully i’ll have everything beaten once fes is released here. saw the news for p4…looks interesting. i dunno if i really want to go through the daily school life again though. admittedly, i’ve enjoyed p3 a lot more than i originally thought i would, but after fes i’ll probably be wanting to play a more regular RPG…
