Snowfallen day.
Hey, there's snow outside again this morning! We haven't seen wet weather like this since I moved here. Normally I hate the snow, but Rachel's been kinda sick so we haven't had to go out in it. I get to enjoy it from indoors, which is how I like to enjoy snow. This way I don't have to see how gross and mucky it looks all over the roads. So anyways, I'm back in school. Why? Mostly because ever since I was a kid I was afraid of having art as a career; but being back in school only reminds me of those days even more, as I hated(hate) school so much. Basically, the reason I chose to go back to school now is because my old High School art teacher asked me if I wanted to perhaps take over his class when he retires in 5 years. That's a pretty good deal right there; I've always wanted to move back to the Bay Area and San Ramon is a real nice place as far as I'm concerned. So...back to school. Whether I end up teaching or not, who cares; at least I have a degree.
Let's see...the Holidays. The holidays were good, my family isn't too big on celebrations, but since ,y parents moved back to Sweden on the 27th, we decided to make a go of it. Christmas was nice, it was just my Partents, Rachel and I in the morning and then everyone came over later to see my parents off. Normaly I hate big crowds (6 older sisters and 19 Nieces and Nephews) But it was fun. Plus I knew they'd all be gone soon and Rachel and I would have my parent's house to ourselves 'til they move back to the states ;) Rachel got me a bunch of cool christmas presents that started me on my first ever collecting craze: Star Wars Galactic Heroes. They're those little Playskool guys that are so damned cute I have to have em all. I've just about polished off my collection too, phew. I also had a pretty good New Years party and Elias and Michelle took me to Bombay House for my 25th birthday. Rachel's "arch-nemesis" was seated at the table next to us but we didn't see her til we got up to leave...not that it matters.
--just got off the phone with my Dad in Sweden, it seems one of his buddies there publishes Childrens books and wants me to do some books for him...3 in fact...sweet.--
Now onto my Pirate Club nonsense. Issue 8 is underway and issue 9 and 10 scripts are killing me. Issue 10 is the finale of this arc, so I gotta make it shine. You'll all love it. Also, it should be known that the orders page on my site has been updated http://www.pirateclub.com/order.htm
