Something occurred to me just a moment ago, while I was cleaning the fridge (cleaning checks tomorrow, since we got to skip them in December) - Pam, are you guys going to ICCA tomorrow (since your brother's performing and all)? Wanna go together? My sister and I have to get tickets at the door, since I just heard about it today, but I figured since you're already probably going to be there.. :)

Today was rough, despite not having to work and only having one class (at 2). There's a show Bro. Hull wants us seniors to enter, and he wants to approve the pieces on Tuesday, so I was going to print out my Fish Stick (lipstick) painting for it, then take it to get matted at the Bookstore.. But the print lab recalibrated all its printers over break, and instead of the perfect print I got in November, the colors were all off in my test print. I didn't have three hours to play around with my file to try and get it right, so I just left frustrated. The bookstore was out of the last book I needed for Japanese, so I had to order it. My quiz in that class didn't go as well as I had hoped, either, but now I know what to expect for the next one. I'm a little worried, though, at my seeming inability to say anything in class. I follow it pretty well, but I can't seem to come up with anything intelligent to add to the discussion, let alone how to phrase it in Japanese. >.< This is new for me. Maybe I'm intimidated and afraid to discredit myself in front of a class of mostly guys. Sigh.

Some good too, though: I printed out my Sheppard picture (also, incidentally, a poor color match, but doable), and stuck it on my school binder so I can look at it any time I want!! ^_^ I hit 1000 page views on deviantArt, and my Lexx fanart from Alien Dice has the highest number of views of any of my gallery, and it's only been up for two days. I ran into Danny, my friend Steffanie's husband, in the bookstore, and that was nice. And I bought myself a page in ComicGenesis (formerly Keenspace)'s Free Comic Book Day compilation. ^_^ That should get me a nice bit of promotion this summer. Also, I got an email back from Brandon Sanderson, answering some questions I asked about Elantris and its cover, since I'm doing it for the BFA and since we're acquaintances.. It made me smile, especially where he says "I never did expect to get Raoden on the cover--an Elantrian just didn’t seem photogenic enough to sell a book." Those are thoughts I've considered as I've been planning it. On one hand, I want to put Raoden because he's the most important character, but he's just not.. pretty.. ^^;; (I recommend this book heartily, by the way, if any of you haven't read it.)

Well, I've got to eat something. I guess I'll finish cleaning later. (Pam, let me know about ICCA!)
