mutecornett at 12:28am on 10/12/2008I suck so bad! I haven't updated in a long while!
I've been living on $800 a month including rent, and we don't have TV and it's always 55 degrees in the house, haha, and I spend most of my time drawing useless things (such as me fighting frogs with a baseball bat). Now I'm staying with my parents for a month working on samples for a possible lifestyle/editorial illustration portfolio. I've been reading some Merlin but I'm not really all that into the fic, but earlier tonight I was talking with my friend about how great fandom is and I suddenly missed it terribly.
THE GOOD NEWS FROM REAL LIFE LAND: I'm going to be in Popgun 3! (I think! If the editors let me be in 3! I might end up stuck in 4, though...) I will leave it up to you to figure out which one's my comic. Also, I got ~*discovered*~ by an art director who saw me drawing in a coffee shop, and his company paid me $250 for five hours of work.
THE BAD NEWS FROM REAL LIFE LAND: $100 of that immediately went to my landlord as a late fee for my rent, ouch. Also, my dad got laid off. Oh, and I have carpal tunnel syndrome! It's early days yet so I'm wearing braces at night to keep my wrists straight and trying to avoid too much typing.
NEUTRAL NEWS FROM REJECTION LAND: Oh yeah, and I hit on a valet at the Marriott who turned out to be my friend's brother who I met two years ago at a party and who remembered ME. I had no recollection of him. Small world, right?
CAT NEWS: I just watched The Cat Returns. That is basically my fantasy, to be abducted by a bunch of walking talking cats to CAT KINGDOM, except I tried to pet a cat once and then I rubbed my eye and my eye turned red because actually I'm allergic to cats.

* regularly lifting weights (5lbs, bicep curls and tricep kickbacks)
* handeze gloves (look silly, work 10000000x better than the various braces)
* stress balls/silly putty/finger squeezer on the desk -- squeezing stuff and playing with it nonstop helps more than anything
* ergonomic chair & kb height that keeps feet on floor & arms at right angles
♥ I hope it will get better, and meep about your dad. :( it is scary economic times right now.
