From the look of things, the Pixia projects are going to have to be held off for a while. Right now I just don't have the time I need to devote to putting together really good projects for you all to see. When I have the time to work on them, I will, there are at least two wallpapers coing, a revamp of my old Gasaraki one, and an Escaflowne(go figure) one. I have a lot of creencaps from Spirited Away, so time permitting I'll put together a wallpaper for that too.
I have decided it would be best to push the rough draft finish date back a little, I'm now giving myself till January 9 to get the first draft done, this time there's no pushing the date back again. I think I need the extra time since it's getting too cold to work in my bedroom, I'll have to bring my laptop downstairs and work in the warmth on it, which I can't really do with people around. I'm just weird about having people look over my shoulder when I'm writing.
It snowed here today, but nothing stuck to the ground, after an hour or two of flurries, it all vanished. The weather forecast said, we were supposed to get an inch but they always overshoot the mark and say more than we actually get. It was nice to see flakes of white for a change. At 5:50AM (right now) it is 16°F out (that's -8.8°C), and that's not couting the wind chill.

Good luck with the decorating, my family doesn't do the outside of our house, except for maybe a wreath on the door.
I do try none the less, and it's nice to know that people don't mind mising a day of my unenlightnend nonsense.
I have heard of the show, they do some entertaining stuff on it. I liked what they did for Shark Week last year(or was it the year before last?). They tested a whole bunch of stuff from the movie Jaws, as well as real-life shark myths too. I don't get to see that show often anymore, I always forget it's on.
Really? My Mom is from New Jersey, where it's unusual to see sharks close to shore at all, but get this: In 1916, a great white shark swam up a creek in Matawan NJ, killed a few people, and is the real-life basis for the Peter Benchley novel, and later the movie, Jaws. The most interesting thing is, Matawan is in the bay, it's not on the ocean side, and it's right in the heart of the area where my Mom grew up.
I've never heard of the Lake Erie sea monster, I wonder where I've been. I try to be up on all those things like Champ (Lake Champlain, VT), Nessy (Loch Ness, Scotland), Ogopogo (Okanagan Lake, British Columbia, Canada), Chessie (Chesapeake Bay VA) and all those other ones, but I've lost track of more than I follow anymore. Cryptozoology is a fascinating field of study, and it's sort of a hobby of mine too. We don't have any monsters like that here(not counting the Mothman further south of me), just monster catfish that can be as big 6' in length. There's a lot of local lore regarding various things though, a couple local haunted buildings, Harry Houdini is said to haunt, well it's a telemarketing office now, it used to be a radio station studio, a Banshee, some Civil War stuff, and other things as well.

I've just taken on too many hobby projects at once, this is the last time I do that, I can assure you. One or two at a time for me from now on.
Of course I understand it happens to all of us.
I never completely give up on my work, I usually put it away for a while then take it out again and work on it some more later. My mind works in moods when it comes to creative ideas.
I can't help with the Silent Hill experience, all I'll say is that for me, once was enough to last a lifetime.
That would be neat to see an edible silver, or blue strawberry. I'll have to keep that project in the back of my mind for when the farm markets open up around here, maybe one of them will have the white strawberries to work from. Being able to get the white strawberries is probably the most difficult part of the whole project.

Things are going okay for me right now.
My mom talked me into shopping for my sister and her friend, I'll do that much. Actually, I know what I want to get both of them, I just have to get it and wrap it. Luckily for me, I can't wrap for beans and use those gift bags all the time, saves time and frustration.
You too.

I know that feeling. The other day I was so tired I could look at all the names highlighted in blue and couldn't get myself to go to any page to comment. I get distracted by the littlest things, for instance the cursor blinking as I type this out. As for not visiting, it's not going to happen often, but once in a while I'll need a break myself, but I'll usually warn you all ahead of time when I go for it.
Yeah, she's into the creepy fonts like Dracula and Chiller(Chiller came with Windows XP I think), the ones that look like serial killer ransom notes and the like.
Actually, I agree with you there, it's easier to remember that each higher number is half the size of the previous number (A5 is half of A4). It's easier for me to remember the dimensions rather than the designation most of the time "letter" paper is 8.5"x11" "Legal" paper is 8.5"x14" then there's "Executive" paper at 7.25"x10.5" and "Statement" 5.5"x8.5" papers too, but those aren't used by most people ouside of businesses I think.
That's a loaded question, but I'm too tired to go off on a rant today, as of September it was over six years.
I explained the basic relation of Antigone for the benefit of the readers who might not know it. I have both plays as part of a trilogy of plays I picked up from a used bookstore here in town.
Oh all right, you go right on believing that. ~_^
I stay away from politics for various reasons, including the ones that are breeches of free speech rights.
Two rose bushes and a couple lilies would hardly be called a big garden. the whole thing (yard and house) would fit into a high school Gymnasuim with a lot of room in the gym to spare. I don't like the cold so much, so I'd have to be where it's warm. Transylvania, I wouldn't even want to visit there. A lot of ghostly tales surrounding that area, including the tales of rules whom Dracula is said to be based from.

I'll definately look for it, and I'll get all the links together and get them up finally too, so that everyone can see what kinds of pictures are coming as the result of my challenge. I think next time I'm going to give you all a keyword (or tag) to use with your submissions so it'll be easier to link to all the artwork at once. Yes there will be other challenges when this one is through.
Thanks for taking the time to do it for me.
