SNOW!!!!!

Hey all. TONS of snow up here in Lansing area Michigan today. It started coming down early this morning when I had to get on the road to drive to Flint area about an hour and change away. Not too bad though. I've drove through worse.

Been an interesting week. Finished commissions, started on new ones. Still writing things for Secret Project X. And I gotta get started on Secret Proposal Project Y. Project Y I am actually doing with someone else, believe it or not. Its true! But tonight and tomorrow I hope to get a nice jump on commissions and catch back up for the next week.

I got the ICONS Jim Lee artbook, which is awesome! I was hesitant on getting it, but I am glad I did. Lots of thumbnails, sketches and some color finished pieces. Unfortunately, its all DC only work, nothing else. But thats okay. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Jim Lee's art. Its what I remember digging back when I read Xmen back in the day. So I recommend that.

I let the wife open her presents already and she revealed mine. Which I will talk about when I get them in the mail. For now, I am enjoying Empowered #3 tradebook, new art supplies from my new favorite art supply store JERRYSARTARAMA.com (They have ROLLING RULERS!!!!!!!) and some new clothes I bought myself.

The biggest news is I got a Nintendo Wii for xmas for the family. My son Cody has one and hates playing daddys "old fogie" video games when he comes over. The wife has been wanting to play and I was sorta interested. But we got the $199 version with two games (one of which was the new mario brothers) and a $50 gift card to Walmart. So it was a hell of a deal! Instantly upon playing Wii sports, I fell in love with it. I'm getting good exercise from it too. The wife and I enjoyed a night of Wii bowling with some beers and it was a great time. Although my shoulder is definitely sore now as a result. The new Mario game is fun but HARD. I even downloaded some classic NES and SNES games via the wii console. But coolest of all is the NETFLIX link, where I can watch things from my instant que on my TV, instead of being confined to my room. I love that. So a purchase that was a tad extravagant, but well worth it. Besides, ITS CHRISTMAS!!!!

Watched the Lions win today. A big win too. First time beating the Rival Green Bay Packers in 10 games. Also ends a bit of division losing streak. Well done guys. Well done. And notice I didn't say "we won." Thats a pet peeve of mine. When someone refers to a team winning and they say "WE". Like they had a hand in the actual playing. I know, you support the team and feel a part of it and all that. Fine. But you didn't take the hits or the tackles. They did and the Lions certainly earned it today. I hope this boasts their spirits a bit. I'm still with em baby. Every game is important. Learn for next year. Next year.

Okay, nuff said for now. I'm going to go find some food and then play with the bots and then get down to work.

Cheers, T
