  Hey everybody. How's it going?

I know I make ask you fairly often to "read yesterday's post if you haven’t already", but if you haven't read yesterday's post yet I really need you to.
You'll see why once you read it.

Anyway, one of the major themes I was trying to get across yesterday is things haven't changed. For the most part, things are back to normal. =)
Don't get me wrong, a lot things still need to be resolved (most of which are in my house, not here) and are still being dealt with, but I'm over being bitchy and obnoxious about it. b~_^

So, let's get down to business!

I went on a solo manga-run today. Yup, solo. -_-
Today is the first day of Josh's (and my brother's) Spring Break, meaning he's now on vacation and couldn't do a manga-run.
In case you're wondering where Josh is going on Spring Break, he's on a Disney Cruise. His aunt is a major manager of Disney's Cruise-lines, so he and his family (and sometimes Josh's friends) get free-bie cruises from her. Heh, I'm betting some of you are pretty jealous of Josh right now. ~_^ (Josh has even hinted that someday soon he might just hook me up and take me with him on a cruise! ^o^ How cool is that!?)
Anyway, Josh'll be gone from today until next Sunday, meaning no manga-run with him this or next weekend.
*grumble*, I'm starting to miss Josh. I haven't seen him in so long....

Oh! And speaking of Josh, his birthday's coming up soon.
Technically, it was yesterday.... But, since he wasn't here for it, as explained above, he'll be celebrating it when he gets back.
I tell you this because I'm currently working on a picture for him for his birthday. ^^ Heh heh, I think you'll like it once it's done...
I started it last night, and I (hopefully) finished today what I think will be the complete line-art.
Heh heh, Josh and the rest of you are in for a fairly big surprise. =^^=

Speaking of artwork, I've got about 3 or 4 more pictures ready to be submitted, but haven't since I've got a piece in my gallery that's fairly new.
I did mention it on last Sunday's post, but since I think a lot of people missed it (and don't exactly want to read though that post again), I'll just paste what I said about the piece here:
"I honestly think this piece may be some of the best work I've ever done. Thus, I would really, really appreciate your comments on it.
I'd really enjoy some in-depth, specific commentary on this piece, since I worked so hard on it and it came out so well. So, please be specific and artistically-minded when you review this piece.
In exchange, please feel free in taking your time on actually getting to comment on this piece. I'd rather wait a week for a good, in-depth comment then get a bunch of hollow praise today. So, feel free to put it off for a bit if you don't have time for a heavy artistic review at the moment."

In summation, please do a deep, artistically-minded comment on this piece (if there ever were a piece I needed a serious critique on, it's this one), but please feel free to put it off if you don't have the time at the moment.
I don't care if your comment's a week late or more, as long as it's a quality critique.

On that same note, Erin-chan has submitted, if I recall, 2 new pictures for me to review.
In addition, EAMR has submitted a picture of her 2 original characters that are generating quite a buzz on The Otaku.
As you know I give Elvzy's work some pretty in-depth comments, so I'm taking my time to make sure I do her work justice (and I'd appreciate the same from you all! ~_^ ). The same goes for Erin-chan.
Again, I know I'm late commenting, but I'd think you're like me in opting for quality over an instantaneous response. b^_^

Anywho, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things as far as showcasing impressive artwork on my site each day. So, today I give you an impressive piece of emoticon-art. Here's "Control", by Conuyaku:

Isn't that amazingly clever and innovative!?
So simple, but so charming and effective!

Expect to see more from Conuyaku. He's an insanely talented emoticon-artist and photographer (I'm not kidding, he does both), so you'll be seeing more of his work soon.

I'll leave you today with a quote off EAMR's site. It's a conversation (if you can even call it that) between Elvzy-chan and her roommate.
According to Elvzy, her roommate is extremely ditzy, as well as never speaks in complete sentences and just sort of "trails-off".
Here's the play-by-play of a conversation they had last Tuesday....

Lindsey: “I’m going to take the garbage out.”
Steph: “But garbage doesn’t go out till Tuesday.”
Lindsey: “Today is Tuesday.”
Steph: *looks into the distance* “Yeah, but the garbage doesn’t go out ‘till Tuesday.”
Lindsey: “Steph…today IS TUESDAY!”
Steph: *looks blankly towards the window* “Wait, what day is today?”

XD I don't know about you guys, but I found that absolutely hilarious!
I think Lindsey-chan's finally found someone slightly dumber than my brother. X) Sorry, Steph.
According to Lindsey, "her cheese has slipped off her cracker". XD

I'll see you guys tomorrow!
