I'm back from my hiatus, and I'm in a calm mood. I submitted a smaller version of my first dragon picture that you see behind all this mess (maybe I should leard to do that floating transparant blog thing that a lot of users here do so you all can get a good look at it all the time)
Anyway, for the record, if you happen to run into me on Yahoo Messenger, my title tonight is the status message I use when I'm online there, but don't ask me to give you my YM handle, I don't give it to people who ask.

Oh you just haven't seen that side of me yet, trust me, my inner dragon comes out a lot when I'm tired or stressed. He's been out here lately, but I guess I see it as being worse than other people do.
The time was productive for me, and very soothing, though I did pop in here to respond to comments and PMs once in a while like I always do when I say I'm taking off.
Blegh! go figure I'd miss that one. My perception of sarcasm has been out of whack lately. Oh well, no harm no foul right?
So what do you think? Was all my hype worth it? If you want to see it without all my stuff in the way, check it out
Here. Ignore the bright pinky color on its background, that's just the transparnet color for the GIF image so it looks good on my green site here, and will continue to match if I should change the color scheme. I really took my time with it because I wanted to make sure it was done right, and somethig I could really be proud of drawing. I'm proud of it, but I know I can do better with more practice.

I get that a lot, but then again, in theatre, weird is good. ~_^
The wonderful thing about the internet is it's easy to meet people who are similar, and get along with those who are not.
I'm still working on a solution that would work, but right now it's a major headache. The carrier (DHL) that ships domestically ships internationally, but the cost is astronomical. For a 1 pound package shipment to the UK it would cost around $50.00 US (actual number appears to be $49.00 USD), and that doesn't include anything like handling, so realistically, it wouldn't be practical to ship Art of Otaku CDs internationally using DHL which covers the domestic shipments. Now, the US Postal Service rates are something like $16.75 US (airmail parcel post - and if they updated the table with the new rates), which isn't quite as bad, but still it's a bit steep, and that also doesn't cover handling either. So let's see, all told (I'm throwing out the $5.00 US shipping and handling charge, and just tossing in a $2.00 figure in to cover the handling part and going with the shipping amounts I mentioned, and I'm doing an estimated currency conversion) amount wise, it would look like this for DHL to ship it to the UK: £42.53, ($75.95 USD) and through the US postal Service it would be around £24.46 ($43.70USD). I guess if you'd really be willing to pay that much and converted the currency to US dollars before sending it (most financial institutions should be able to do it, or could tell you where to go to get it done), there shouldn't be a problem. Now, there may be other factors at work that I don't know about or understand, so don't look at this as the best or only solution, it's just number crunching to see if the cost to ship internationally is plausible.
One thing down, a couple more to go, I've got a busy night ahead of me.

I fixed the title's spelling, I must have really been a sleep when I wrote it this morning.
