Status 6-14-08 "Father's Day Splurge"
I got loads of new stuff the day before father's day! My parents decided to buy a new computer (yay!) since our current one is from 1999. It's an HP Pavilion that cost about $1,600 but it it was worth it. Quad core processors and 22-inch wide screen LCD's are awesome! Anyway, along with the new computer I grabbed a Bamboo Fun small white tablet(!!) and Grand Theft Auto IV. Expect to see a lot more art from me now because it wont take photoshop freaking 10 minutes to load I also got new dress pants and a nice sport coat for formal stuff. In addition to the computer, my parents got an 80gb Zune for themselves, a new printer, and other stuff. We spent over $2,000 but we have 2 years with no interest to pay it off.

In other news, I recently got into Dawn of War again since this computer can actually run it. Tau with giant robot suits ftw! It's an awesome strategy game, if you're into games like that go get it!

Status 5-29-08 "Summer?!"
Summer is almost here, yay. I wish I could say I can finally relax and focus on things besides school, but my high school requires a "graduation project" so I have to do 25 hours of community service during the summer. Its not so bad, but when you have your schedule full of band activities, job hunts, and a possible trip to Ohio, its tough.

Speaking of band, I was presented the position of slave Brass Captain and Business Manager at band banquet, an event where the current years seniors step down and allow the rising juniors to control the band. The one thing I regret about this is I have to manage the band accounts for over 100 people, which includes counting money, giving out receipts, etc. There are two of us though, so it should be manageable.

On the art side, I haven't really posted much recently. I've drawn a bit, but most are sketches practicing anatomy, perspective, and motion. I really haven't had the time to do very much drawing due to the close proximity of exam week (next week). Once school is over, I should be posting a lot more, and hopefully I can finally get my hands on a tablet.

Oh, I decided to make my Journal a bit more unique organized. You can read all of the previous entries here as well.
