I have the day off, so of course that means it's 48F and overcast instead of the beautiful sun we had yesterday. :P So much for spraying the lawn for crabgrass or washing the car. -_-

What to do today... Fechan demonstrated her flute-playing skillz and I believe I can sufficiently adapt for Kian... need to finish Beldon's hands for suzakunoaijin... was doing okay for a while on the end of Minuet of the Night so maybe can finally wrap that up... got a new request for Ruadh/Vinni that overlaps one of the 'optional' ones from before so may have to do that. x.x Vinni's hard, and I'm not entirely sure what Ruadh looks like. Blah. As much trouble there as Kian/Ruari. x.x Maybe I shoulda specified individual characters only. The pictures for those seem to be coming out so much better anyway...

I should also make an attempt to hook my scanner up to my computer again. If it'll take at all. It's kind of a dinosaur, so there's no guarantees that Vista will recognize it. :P I don't think they make updated drivers for it anymore. That's what made me have to 'upgrade' from my really ancient but very pleasing results scanner. *le sigh* I guess it was kind of impractical having to drop to DOS every time I wanted to scan something...

I also discovered, when I went to brush up on my Cradle & All knowledge, that I'd written way more sequel notes than I thought I had. Huh. 9.9 Might need some restructuring, though. Sounds kinda stupid as-is. >.>;

Top of my list for new stories, though, is Gnome and Egyptian. I think they'd be a lot of fun. I just have to remember wtf I was planning for Gnome, and convince Egyptian to have a plot. >.>;

Hm. I need breakfast.

Tidbits and In-Jokes

So, it's pretty common knowledge that A Fairy Tale was inspired by one too many watchings of the Barbie Fairytopia movies, and that Darkness totally has its roots in the video game series Castlevania, but ( Did you know... (Warning, Spoilers) )

Heehee. fechan hands! ^__^

( A very, very rough sketch... )

Drew Ruadh and Vinni today. Turned out far better than I was anticipating. o.o; Though I have got to discipline myself into keeping these drabbles at a small enough size that I'm not going to have to shrink the font way down to accommodate. x.x;

So I suppose this is the final call for drabble-postcards, because once I finish this picture and get my bloody scanner hooked up I'll be sending them out. Completed postcards are as follows:
Tau Ceti
Alexius & twins
Ahi'kiha
Azragael & Lurizal
Lei & Arvik
Atalaya
Beldon
Ruadh & Vinnissaen
Ruari & Kian (in progress)

My mother sends me strange things...

Hummer & Bubba (Tennessee mechanical engineers) were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up.

A woman walked by and asked what they were doing.

"We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole," said Bubba, "but we don't have a ladder."

The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a few bolts, and laid the pole down. Then she took a tape measure from her pocket, took a measurement, announced, "Eighteen feet, six inches," and walked away.

Bubba shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just like a woman! We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"

Bubba and Hummer are currently working for the government.
