I'm not even going to go into the varying kinds of feels I currently have after having watched the new Cap movie for a second time. It's still just as devastatingly WONDERFUL as the first time around (honestly, it's been a long time since I was such an emotional wreck over a fictional movie - and I love fictional movies). It's definitely become my ( Read more... )

I've owned Scrivener for a while, and dabbled around with using it - but only within the last couple of weeks has imbecamiel inspired me to really dig in and learn how to use it.

After going through their several-hour-long tutorial that teaches you the key features, I absolutely adore it, and I have been spending hours getting my dieselpunk/mafia story ( Read more... )

I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day, mellon-nin! <3

I feel a bit silly posting in triumph about this since I past the age when most people pass their driving test. But driving has been such a challenge for me, and I have dreaded taking the test. I mean, really, REALLY dreaded it. I hardly slept last night because my mind kept rehearsing parallel parking over and over again. XD ( Read more... )

I've had a terribly stress-filled week, and last night I hardly got any sleep at all because my brain was teeming with All the Things, including plenty of problems that I know can't do anything about, thankyouverymuchbrain. I've finally wrapped up at least one of two nerve-wracking graphic design jobs that I've been angsting over, but now I need a ( Read more... )

Dear Reviewer,

I mean, really. WHYYY?

Love,

Last weekend, I got babysit my two great nieces - unexpectedly, which was stressful at first (mostly because of a 3 hour round trip drive to pick them up and drop them off, because my niece doesn't have a car). But it was totally worth it in the end just to have some time with the two of them. They really are sweet kids ( Read more... )

Tonight will be the third time we've taken Captain to puppy play day (play night, technically speaking), and it's really great to see him gradually becoming braver about meeting other dogs. The big marshmallow could squish any one of them - all of them being toy breeds and/or young puppies. Pfft. Having your sixty pound "puppy" hide behind you is ( Read more... )

So, I've been working on my people-drawing skills, and being more imaginative/less references picture dependent. Despite being agonizingly slow, at least I've had some success fun. ^^ And I'm beginning to love digital painting. Really, really love it (especially since imbecamiel has been letting me borrow her Bamboo drawing tablet \o ( Read more... )
