Hey Guise!

Man, it's been a long time, right?

I mean, I haven't even downloaded photos off of my camera card for the past... 5 or 6 months?! Geeze. I have a lot of catching up to do. Which means your inbox is going to hate me. Because I even realized I haven't put up pictures from JANUARY yet!

To be fair, I did spend a few months back in the US, without my camera. Besides, I didn't do anything useful while I was there, at least artistically anyways. I did, however, spend a lot of time visiting doctors and trying to get my head straightened out. It has kind of been working, fortunately, and I'm slowly recovering from what I realized now was a crippling fear of everything, coupled with sheer anger and self loathing. Still working on that last one, and the first one, too, and maybe a bit of the middle one, but point being, it's getting better.

To fill my life with some artistic stuff while I was back in the states, I started doing a crapload of beading. There are these really great beads called "Delica" beads, that are really uniform and squared off on the ends, and fit perfectly together. This probably makes no sense, now that I type it out, but you'll start seeing postings of some of those projects, too, I'm sure.

Right now, however, I'm going to continue to watch "Sword Art Online" - it is surprisingly good, and I swear, there is merch for that friggin everywhere around here, at every nerdy store, it's not even funny. Yet I can only find the occasional "Attack on Titan" thing, and that's been out for a while now here. I think that's the first anime I've come across in a while that is way more popular outside of Japan than it is here. Weird.
