Happy Tuesday, everyone!
I've got some cool art to show off from the next chapter of Sombulus, so that means... new vote incentive! The NaNoMangO folks will probably recognize it. The Topwebcomics rankings have reset for August, so now is an especially courteous time to vote for me. Thanks for helping me out in advance!
Other random life stuff I've been up to:
- Writing a lot of stuff on Tumblr. LiveJournal was down a lot last week and I had a crazy writing itch and a lot of opinions. Particularly about Harry Potter and Evil Diva. I feel like I cheated on LJ with Tumblr, but... a woman has needs, you know? And there's enough of me to go around.
- Celebrating my wedding anniversary. shmitz and I have been officially married for 9 years this Tuesday. We had a nice dinner with assassingalaxia , layah , ks0girl and husband, and a bunch of gamer friends that I don't think are on LJ, and another mini celebration at my aunt's house over the weekend. Good to see everyone again IRL instead of just over the internet.
- Gearing up for Penny Arcade Expo. Put in my vacation request yesterday! Gonna book a flight this week! Gonna hang out with psychominako and ninja_dude ! And it's gonna be an awesome con full of awesome things that do not take forever in line to see! (I hope.)
- "Reading" Septimus Heap. What do you call audiobooks? Are they "reading"? This is the first audiobook I've ever tried. Picked it up from the library on a forum friend's recommendation from my Harry Potter ramblings. I like it a lot, but I wonder if the narrator's tone is tainting my mental image of Marcia Overstrand from "prissy grumpy lady" to "prissy grumpy old lady".
- Playing Final Fantasy: Four Heroes of Light. I have a terrible time mustering energy and time to play most video games nowadays, but Four Heroes of Light is very "put down and pick up again"-able because it's got very distinct quests and not a lot of complicated plot stuff. Maybe I'll actually finish it! (Unlike FF12, which got stuck in the "must forage for junk to alchemize it later" doldrums.)
- Bowling. In a pink wig and hip-hop attire. I regret nothing.
Happy Tuesday, everyone!
