  *crawls into computer-chair, still twitching and writhing while recovering from incredible EVA-induced brain-gasem*
Hey everybody. *pant* How’s it going?

Well, guess what I stayed up late last night doing.
If you said watching EVA, you’d be right. *twitch*
As you could probably tell, I’m still recovering from the insane level of awesomeness. @_@ I haven’t brain-gasemed like that in a while.

Last night I watched episodes 13 through 23. Yes, 10 episodes of EVA.
And you know how I like deep religious, political and psychological elements to my literature & movies? Well, most EVA-fans reading this will know that it’s around episode 13 that the series starts getting deep. O.o
*wipes blood from ears and nose* Seriously guys, that was the most delectable heaping load of hardcore action and thought-provoking symbolism it’s been my pleasure as an anime-fan to enjoy. ^_^ I didn’t get to sleep ‘till 4:45 AM, but it was all worth it.

But anyway, I’ll talk more about EVA and the brain-gasem it gave me some other time. I have other news that needs to be spread.
Namely, I submitted that new piece of Mahoro the other day (and forgot to tell you about it. ^^; ).

But, unfortunately…….The Otaku’s size-restrictions on submissions sort of butchered it. -_-‘
As always, votes & comments are greatly appreciated, but, if you were going to postpone commenting anyway (which I don’t mind one bit), I might figure out a way to get the original version on Photobucket, so that when you comment you can look at the one with all the details and depth. The only reason I don’t have the original already on Photobucket for you….is because Photobucket doesn’t seem to want cooperate at the moment. *grrrr*
Since the tiny amount of detail lost in downsizing might not make a difference to some of you, those who like can go ahead and check it out. You’ll see what I meant when I said it’d have a “Logan-style twist” to it, just like all of my fan-art will. ^_^
Those who’d rather wait feel free to do so as well.

In other news, I’ll be leaving for Williamsburg Virginia with my family this weekend and will be gone for all of next week for our yearly vacation.
As some of you may remember from the previous 2 years, we usually take our yearly vacation late in July, often over my birthday, but this year we’ll be doing it a little earlier.
But…..there’s a problem…..
The problem is, Josh got back this week, and we were going to go to the yearly anime/graphic-arts convention which is held this weekend, and with that being the time we leave I might not get to go. T_T
No solid Yes’s or No’s yet, but I sure hope I don’t have to miss the only anime-related convention we have down here in Charlotte. Keep me in your prayers on that.

As some will also remember, we usually go to the beach on our family’s yearly vacation, but this year my parents decided on something different.
Williamsburg has a lot of Colonial stuff my parents plan for us to go to, but I’m not too excited about that. -_-‘ That kind of stuff bores me to death. I sure hope they don’t load us up with a bunch of Colonial-crap.
But, we’re also gonna’ go to a water-park up there, which I’ll definitely enjoy. =D
More news on all that as it develops.

Let’s see…what else….
I caught an art-thief the other day.
Yep, I caught them red-handed, even though they fooled everyone else.
I hope they got what they deserved from the staff here.

Before I go, I have a few My Otaku announcements:
Please visit Vankala 86 and check out her site’s new theme. She told me about it the other day, but I haven’t been able to see it myself yet. But I will be checking it out right after dinner, so no worries. ~_^

Please also pray for Erin-chan’s dad as he recuperates in the hospital.
The doctors say he’ll be perfectly fine, but it’s always stressful to have a family member in the hospital, so pray for his healthy recovery as well as Erin-chan’s, Scooty’s and their mom’s peace of mind.

Oh, and though you’re probably already doing so, pray extra hard for our men overseas this week. I’m foggy on the details (I stopped watching the news 3 years ago), but I heard something big happened just recently, so please send some prayer out for their protection.

Here’s today’s Art-Feature.
“Resting”, by Beloved Creature:


Behold the Angel of Death, in a moment of peaceful pension.
What do you think goes in his(or her?) mind in a moment of rest?

Allrightie everyone, I’m off to visit your sites! ^_^
