Begin XMAS week.

I thought last year's Xmas was good, this year is turning out to be quite better. Even though, last year was a definate surprise! This year, I got my computer. I also just ordered Photoshop and Quark for said computer. So soon, I will be starting word balloons and tones on these pages i've been pumping out all year, and finally getting things FINALIZED and FINISHED! (happy dance) I'm excited to finally see these pages in a finished form and send them out to the world. Over a year's hard work, almost coming to an end.

Today, I got Kelly a surprise xmas gift on ebay. Also a little something for myself: A Rocky Balboa figure. Yeah, I LOVE the Rocky movies. Sue me.

Yesterday was the 8 year anniversary of my mother's death. It was a quiet day, just me and Scott-bot hanging out watching cartoons, cleaning house and pencilling a bit. We also downloaded some BSG season 4episodes on Itunes to watch soon. Overall, I kept myself from thinking about it too much, and it passed without the usual bouts of sadness and meloncollie. I guess you never GET OVER a death, but you cope with it. You never forget, but the pain does dim a bit. I do miss her greatly. I hope she's happy with all of us left on earth. I wish my kids and wife woulda got to know her.

Today Shane came over briefly to drop off the stuff of mine he borrowed over the years. Probebly the last time I'll see him for a long time. Man his new house looks nice. He showed us over the internet.

Tonight is another episode of BREAKING THE PANEL and also I plan to draw some more today. Right now my right eye is itchy and watery again, so I don't feel like doing too much. Scott is sleepies. But soon he'll wake and maybe we'll watch more STAR TREK cartoons. Always great!
