  Hey everybody. How's it going?
Things are at least looking OK for me about my brother ruining my manga runs. My dad agrees with me on the fact that my brother isn't mature enough to be left in a store alone, especially not with someone like Sean (the kid he wanted to go with). However, my mom completely freaked out when she got home yesterday. My brother was on the couch with one of the cordless phones on his dirty feet (you put your hands on a phone, by the way), so I politely asked him to take it off of there. He flipped out and started screaming, so my mom started screaming at us. Apparently, I'm a "despicable" and "un-Christian" person because I don't like my brother. WTF!? Excuse me!? That's BS! It's not my fault I don't like him! He's a jerk, and NOBODY likes a jerk! But my mom says that since he's my brother, I have some sort of obligation to like him despite that. And here's the kicker: My mom hates HER sister. They got in some fight over a piece of furniture, so I haven't seen my cousins in about 8 years. Then she tells me I have to LIKE my brother!? Psh, like I said, she can be a major hypocrite sometimes.

*sigh*, I'm still fighting off the depression. I feel really crappy right now, and if you remember back a month or so, you'll know why.

As far as interesting news goes, ElvesAteMyRamen finished her new Yuki drawing! Click the link to see it, as well as vote and comment!: The Emotional Boiling-Point.
I'll be posting an in-depth art review tomorrow or the next day (I know I pretty much always do that for EAMR's artwork, but it's not to suck-up or anything. I do that because Lindsey is one of the few artists whose artwork contains that kind of complexity.)

In other news, I've been working on more song tags.
Here are 2 for the song "Fuel", by Metallica. Which style do you think looks cooler?
The normal text...


Or the replacement symbols and alternate spelling...


Here's another one for "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

I know that the L's in "Bell" are actually the number 1 while the L's in "Tolls" are regular L's, but I thought it looked better to change it up.

And my first Iron Maiden tag, here's the last segment of "The Trooper".

I know the pink letters are kind of gay looking, but that's the font and color they use for the image of the single.
So, what do you think? Please check Tuesday's post (the one at the bottom of the page) if you want to see some more of these tags.

Before I go, I thought this was really cute. It's a quick little fan art in the form of a manga segment (reads left-to-right, by the way) for Inuyasha. Though it's short and a little out of character, it's so romantic that I'm willing to let it slide.

Isn't that beautiful? The coloring and lining is well done, yet still soft and light, thus giving it a very dream-like quality. -///- Awww, it's just so sweet. (Alright, if you're a guy, you're probably going to call me gay at this point. Well, screw it. I'm a dude that doesn't mind romance, so deal with it >:P)

Alright everybody, I'll see you tomorrow!
