Hey, all! It’s pretty late in the evening, so first off, let me start with the disclaimer that this is NOT an April Fool’s joke; I just have bad timing. Anyway, I have been thinking very seriously about attempting to run a Harvest Moon Big Bang event this year. For the uninitiated, Big Bangs are fandom events where an author and artist are paired ( Read more... )

So. I love video games. I love visual novels. I love romance themes. As such, I am hopelessly addicted to otome games. Otome (乙女) games are video games, targeted to girls, where one of the main aspects is for the (generally female) player character to develop a relationship and romance with one of several (generally male) characters.

Sorry for the disappearance, everyone! It's been a very busy, very hectic year. I hope you're all doing well and feeling well. As things start calming down for Winter Break, I just wanted to quickly check in and touch base. Happy Holidays!  ^_^

deviantArt's switch over to the new version7 has been pretty glitchy from the start, but it looks like things are finally smoothing out.  I can access my message center again and actually start replying to comments.  Yay!

So it's been really busy lately, especially at the office. My department just hosted a special event and I'd been running around like crazy trying to make it all run smoothly. For the most part it seems it went well, but I haven't received any actual feedback yet. Now we are moving quickly toward finals, end-of-the-semester, and summer sessions ( Read more... )

I was visiting my grandma in Georgia last week and brought the laptop with me to work on Merdoc. It was a quiet weekday and I set myself up for some coloring in the living room. Grandma came in with her cup of tea and peered over my shoulder. She asked me how things were going with the comic, and I replied that things were going slowly, but I was ( Read more... )

Just got back from spending a week with my Grandma down South, and I feel sooooooo much better. I haven't had a vacation since Thanksgiving 2008, so this one was really past due. Seriously guys, make sure you remember to take the time to refresh yourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Work and school and family and friends ( Read more... )
