Notes For Today
* Woah, surprisingly the t-shirt company sent me the finalized design today. It turned out GREAT, the shirt will be hotness. I'm going to start taking orders soon. Finally!

* I would have started taking orders tonight, but I passed out and fell asleep for like 4 hours...

* I was asked to be a judge for a major Canadian award show about animation and video games. Now I'm thinking I might have made a mistake. They shipped me a ballot box and like 20 DVDs and I only have a few days to watch them all pick my favorite in each category. Thankfully most of the DVDs are very short. And before you think I'm very lucky to get so many free DVDs, I have to RETURN all of them at the end.

* Did I mention how much I love my new apartment? I LOVE it, love it, love it. My friends in other cities say I live in a shoebox when they hear how big it is (412 square feet), but for New York it's nice...

* As much as I like to think I know a lot, part of my business-oriented book is going to have interviews with real artists who have achieved some degree of commercial success on their own. I've been posting around trying to find such artists and I have DOZENS of responses already, some from very impressive folks. This book will be hot :).

(Anyone interested in business can pick it up. I just say it's for artists for two reasons. First, because it lets me focus the examples. And second, because if I said it was for everyone, I'd have to compete against thousands of business books, which would be suicide! Then again, Art of Otaku competes against thousands of 'how to draw manga' sequels ^_^.)

* On a personal note, Kei said I scared her today over IM. I don't know why, all I did was send her a note:

"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

And then...

"I've had it with these %@#%# snakes on this @#%@%# plane!"
