The 2008 Walk for PKD is Approaching
It's mid-September already and for me that means getting ready for the annual walk for Polycystic Kidney Disease. This personal tradition started in 2006 when my mom and I decided we felt indebted to do something, whatever possible, to raise awareness of PKD. For the past two years, we attended the walk held at Goat Island in the heart of Niagara ( Read more... ) -
Sketch Post Strikes Back! *now with more Isamu ...and emo
Alright, alright. I heard you guys loud and clear. The scribbles went over quite well, the compulsory whining ...understandably, did not. So on that matter, loyal readers, I've decided to subject you to this uh... "art" once again. (There's also more bitching, sorry. Things even out.) Much to my own surprise, I initially managed to sketch every day ( Read more... ) -
Sketch post!
Okay, I'm doing something a little unconventional for my journal. I generally avoid posting my art online because I'm honestly not satisfied with it.

I know my family has terrible luck sometimes but with these past two weeks, it's getting out of hand. We've spent much of the past ten days in ICU. My grandmother suddenly became severely ill and had to be put on a ventilator. As of today, the outlook seems pretty grim. Yet even though I've been visiting her everyday I think the reality of the ( Read more... ) -
Nothing's Going to Change my World...
The Year of the Rat has begun. I wish I could say I'm planning on celebrating with my rat companions, but alas fate has other plans. Freya, my blue-bareback rat has been showing signs of severe illness the past forty-eight hours. I discovered her huddled in the corner of the cage yesterday (usually she's first to greet me) and squeaked when I ( Read more... ) -

I usually avoid writing this kind of entry, but I couldn't resist spreading the news:
Official Press Release Regarding The Hobbit film adaption
Yeah. It's really happening.
I know speculation has been abound for years, but this is the biggest official word so far regarding the film.
As for me, my gut reaction after seeing the name Peter Jackson in ( Read more... ) -
Aggh... lousy feeling...
Don't you hate it when people only bother to write when they're feeling depressed? Well... here you go ( Read more... )
