It was near 60 most of lastweek in NYC (where I was working), but the stupid hurricane kind of ruined things. What with the wind and rain and all. And then I come back to 38 degree weather in the Midwest. Argh. The temperature in Wisconsin had been fluxuating for the past month or so, but I have a feeling it's realized we're in November now. Time to get used to sweaters and wool coats. But NOT time for Christmas trees, lights or music, yet! What is wrong with you people?!

(I love Christmas as much as the next person, if not MUCH MORE--but I don't believe in rushing the season so much that it's not special when the holiday actually arrives. Plus, I like Thanksgiving.)

In other news, I finally got to go to the sweet Japanese bookstore in midtown Manhattan during my trip to New York last week. Kinokuniyo, I think? I got an awesome 2010 calendar, a Haruhi Suzumiya light novel (yay!) and a cool little reference book on bonsai. Now that I've gotten over the grieving for my poor little Juniper bonsai, I think I'm ready to try another. And maybe tame the crazy growth on my money tree. Maybe I'll post photos (sometime in the distant future...these things take time!) if they start shaping up nicely.

I've also been doing a little more digital art work for a friend's flash game. Not the same game the secret agent pixel sprite was for, but the same developer. This time we're not doing pixel art, and it's a totally different theme. I think I'm a little more comfortable with this style, though. I'll post a link and some screenshot if/when it's closer to completion.

Life's been pretty hectic for the past couple weeks/months/year, but I think things are calming down...knock on wood. So I'm hoping to post something over the weekend (maybe). And work on that art request. I am taking a cookie decorating class at JoAnn fabrics on Saturday, so I need to bake some cookies before then, but hopefully that will result in something both pretty and delicious that I can show off in my scrapbook. Stay tuned!

Lastly, NEW SUPER MARIO BROS WII CAME OUT ON SUNDAY. Does anybody have it?! I preorder it from Amazon in order to get a $10 voucher and free shipping, but that means I have to wait possibly until Thursday for it to arrive. ;-; Somebody tell me it's as awesome as I expect it to be.

Art requests:
I can't promise they'll get done in a timely fashion, but I'm happy to take requests. I promise they'll be done within 6 months max. Nothing too risqué though, plz.
