My plan until at least the end of this year, none of them made me any money, labor of love, at least I’ll die happy.

- “Me and My Food” - 7 pages, almost done, I’ll start posting them soon.

- “Dream Eater” - 30 pages, a start of new arc for this story, should be cool, in the process of writing script/drafting.

- “Shoot the moon” - 50 pages (tentative title) self-contained story, I wanted to go crazy with this one, a fantasy story full of every cliche I love. On designing and writing state.

- “Baby” - 5 pages, this story is planned for 200 pages book to be shopped around in case anyone interested, (if all else failed, it will go online eventually) all planning and writing is done, just need to start drafting :3

- mysterious webcomic that might or might not happen - I have a few stories going at the moment, deciding which one to work on first.

- mysterious Snarry* doujinshi - that already in drafting state, out of the blue, cut the queue of all comics I should draft first, hohohoho

* if you don’t know what this is, it’s not for you XD

I’m getting old.

I’ve heard of Hipster PDA ages ago, but I’ve never thought that I would ever ever need it before, I’m not that busy and I thought that my todo list is pretty straight forward and I don’t really need any list or reminder, but lately, I found myself forgot to do stuff and lagging behind on my deadlines, left alot of things undone, works or hobbies, some of the things I always wanted to do but the moment I have time to do it, I forgot about it. until I saw Kayay occasionally jot something down on her notebook and it came to me, I probably need something like that.

basically, Hipster PDA is just small notebook or small stack of blank cards/papers/whatever that small enough to fit your pocket, clipped together with binder clip, and don’t forget the pen, you carry around and write down whatever you need, todo list, shopping list, reminder, contact info, mom’s bday, doodling. It might sound silly but it’s actually very useful as I found it to be. I use it to jot down everything, todo list down to details, deadlines, idea for new comics, what to eat, where to go, which part of web I wanted to tinker, basically my every ‘laters’ which now I can actually go back and check if I have done them before move on to other things.

next year I probably need a walking stick…

I have

massive artist’s block

T^T

I just wanted to draw something really really cool for my portfolio, maybe 8-10 pages, part action part dialogue, something that would wow everyone who see it, making them feel bad for having to turn me down but I think I’m trying too hard or aiming too high, my head is totally blank.

I’m back at Seattle, I prefer cold than heat, went to see uber fireworks yesterday at lake union, trying to sort through my works today to put together portfolio, I have bad feeling about this, it’s what I have been wanted to do, portfolio reviews, but I dread the dismissal that is sure to come, maybe it will be the usual, ‘you are not what we’re looking for’ or maybe it will be the unusual but happen ‘you suck’ (directly or indirectly, either way is bad)

arrived safely, if not smoothly @_@

The shorten version: I got grilled by the border security people for hours and I was the last from the morning flights to leave tacoma airport.

The long version was that, they told me they needed to do the additional checking because my passport is new, and I intended to stay long, and they probably think that I’m here to stay. While other people just had to scan their finger printes and taken mugshot, before given the permit stamp, I was given this giant red plastic card and got shifted into kinda back room and into what was looking suspiciously like interrogating room @_@, it was probably that, except that there wasn’t any shouting and flashlight in the face, just alot of questions and looking through all my stuff, I mean, ALL. The officer went through stuff in my bag, my wallet and my suitcase, and actually went to check sixkillerbunnies.com, checking my cellphone and reading the diary I wrote on the plane, much to my embarrassment, I think, only because my story are added up and consistent that they allow me to enter. all the while I keep thinking about the case that the guy who got strip search at border and was only allowed to enter for one day, if that happened, I think I’d breakdown for sure, it was so scary, but thankfully nothing like that happened. The officer was polite but firm and explained to me that he understands that these stuff are private but he has duty to go through them, and it will be only be between me and him and it won’t leaving this room, I actually don’t have much problem with the said diary spreading around since I intended to post that here anyway, but it’s good to know that they are still being courteous and considerate.

When they finally let me enter and I walked out of the area, I found that a few more officers there heard about me and remarked about me being artist, it was so weird and kind of fuzzy at the same time, fuzzy enough that I wanted to leave the airport as soon as humanly possible, juggling the giant suitcase that costed me 50$ for excess baggage with me.

I think I had enough excitement to last for months, now I’ll enjoy quiet day, surfing endless cable tv and practicing cg on 22″ wide screen LCD monitor :D

installed Painter X demo yesterday and I had a big case of RAM envy, my machine is PPC G4 1.4Ghz with 1G RAM, you would think that would be suffice to run Painter X, since Painter IX was fine and dandy, but noooooo, the fancy new reaal bristle brush sluggish like hell, made me wanted to cry, there’s no way I can draw in 300DPI when 72DPI barely works, and the ‘minimum requirement’ state on corel site is all a bunch of bollocks, 512RAM 750Mhz? PLEASSEEEEE

not to mention the story about how vista needed 4G RAM to shine, FOUR? fuck off >:(((

first, out of the blue, my wacom went wanky, it’s not totally broken, it has what I called ‘wiggling spot’ where the line will jiggle no matter what, I can still work on it but it gave me headache and I had to give in.

400$ short later, I got new wacom and went on my merry way.

then, probably a week later, my bro’s pc broke. which enough to send me bonkers, because I was using his pc to connect to the net, the only ADSL modem I had doesn’t work with mac, after it was sure that I couldn’t salvage his pc at all, I was left without internet connection.

shari - internet = dead shari

good thing that problem is easily fixed by just buying a new router, 100$ short, but I’m whole again.

new family member, wirelss router, the ‘babyluv’I should have gotten it ages ago, but I keep pushing it off because the old set up still work, I have a mantra of not fixing what’s not broken ^^;;

my bro’s pc remain broken tho, and it is somehow my responsibility to fix it, ah, the cost of being older.

The bad luck not ending there, today I woke up intend to play some L2 after all the works done, while I was downloading patch, my pc froze, and I can’t do anything but forced restart (read: pull the plug), and it just went downhill from there, I end up wiping the xp partition off the hd and reinstall it on other hd, it works now, but, it smells like something is burning, none of the fan is working except for processor fan, I think I need new case if not whole new pc.

bonus pic: my bro’s pc

what will break next?! (don’t answer, please T^T)
