Time for an update!
It seemed like a good time to update.
Like everyone, we've been having a lot of rain here. It took my dad three hours to get to work today due to flooding and the accidents and detours it causes. Luckily my house is fine.
But before it started raining here, it was raining quite a bit, from what I understand, in Toledo. In fact, I think they got 7 inches in like 2 minutes at some point (that's what I heard anyway). Needless to say, there was quite a bit of flooding. This really wouldn't mean anything for me, except for the fact that the flooding occurred the same week my parents decided to go to our old house to get the rest of our stuff. Because of this, my dad now has to go back to Toledo this weekend to pick up the car that stalled in deep water and now won't start that will hopefully be fixed when he gets there. I guess it was Toledo's final Fuck You.
Of course, that really isn't the only reason he's going back this weekend. My brother is now officially back in the United States after staying 10 long months in China. He flew into Chicago and my dad is meeting up with him in Toledo (It's cheaper to fly to Toledo than to Philadelphia, though for some reason it's kind of only costing me $10 to fly to Chicago from Philadelphia when I go to Japan). He's only back for a little over a month, but it'll be nice to see him.
In other news, I bought a new easel (table-top sketchbox easel) and some artist acrylics (the ones I had before were craft acrylics and they're old) earlier and today/yesterday I painted a picture! It's of a glass of wine with a couple other things in it as well. I tried for realistic at first, but then abandoned it for a more post-impressionistic approach. Anyway, I really like it. Expect a picture of it soon.
Well, that's about it. :D
