Now that Christmas is over, I finally have time for myself! Caught up on some sleep, went on a whirlwind cleaning spree, and finished off a bunch of things that've been hanging on the to do list since before the holiday tornado hit. Also finally got to open up the Sephy statue!

Been totally overwhelmed with life in general - late nights at work, artist alley prep with shinkyomu and lithele , getting out 11 Christmas packages even before I can start shopping for the locals, drama with the mother, dealing with another case of fraud, all while still trying to get to the gym and maintain a reasonable level of social life... and I've had ( Read more... )

My Cingular contract is up, and I'm looking to switch to a prepaid plan.  I only use like 100 minutes max per month now, since I started working in a wireless black hole, and no nationwide monthly plan goes that low on minutes.  Anybody have any suggestions on providers?  I'd prefer a GSM provider, but am open to CDMA if there are enough reasons to ( Read more... )

Yesterday, while I was picking up some supplies at Target, a 30-ish year old man initiated some conversation with me, gave me his business card, and asked if he could contact me to set up lunch or something.  My social conditioning defaults me to being polite, cheerful and gracious to everyone, strangers included, unless otherwise warranted.  Since ( Read more... )
