Status 6-29-08 "Vacation and Volunteering"
So yeah, It's like 12:01am at the time of me posting this. I got back from a 2 day trip at the Great Wolf Lodge, an indoor water park in Williamsburg VA, yesterday at about the same time. It's a pretty good place to go if you're into aquatic activities. For an indoor facility its pretty expansive containing 2 large rides in which you have to take a 4 person raft, 3 smaller rides that you use intertubes for, a fairly large wave pool, etc. The room we got was pretty nice also as it had 3 beds (we reserved a 2 bed room but they overbooked and gave us a larger room which had 2 floors ^_^). In other news I'll be heading over to Ohio to visit my cousins at the end of this week.

Later on today I will start volunteering at my church's vacation bible school program in order to get at lest 20 hours of community service. The only reason I'm doing this is because I have to in order to graduate >_<. All of the hard work is pretty much done though, the band I put together knows most of the music we're going to be playing and the place is already set up and decorated. I would much rather be playing Team Fortress 2, Mass Effect, or sketching that helping out little kids though. Speaking of sketches, I haven't posted much of anything lately because I'm still getting used to my tablet. I've been doing a lot of sketch work recently in between gaming, LAN parties and trips to places. Hopefully Ill get used to using my tablet soon so I can start putting out finished pieces. The new dA Version 6 looks pretty solid,the only thing I regret about it is that it no longer functions on my PSP...

Status 6-29-08 "Free Time is Now"
The end of June leaves me with out very much to do until the middle of July, so I have a lot of free time now. Except for a few rehearsals for band, my summer is free until July 13; I returned from Band Camp on Friday night. From Saturday (6-21-08) until Friday (6-27-08) I was at Mt. Olive college attempting to get our field show together in time for the 1st game of the football season. At large we were successful, we memorized the music for 2 of the 4 songs and the field positions for 3 of the 4 songs. The first song is pretty much ready for performance as only a few pictures needed to be cleaned.

After my community service on July 13-18, I'm off to Ohio to visit my cousins one last time before we graduate. I don't know what will happen there, but If it is anything like last year it will be interesting. I haven't been drawing very much lately because I keep on getting distracted by Grand Theft Auto IV and Ace Combat 6, both of which are insanely fun if you play with your friends. Don't worry though, I'm working on some things right now and they should be ready to post soon.
