Spooooooky~ It’s Nate’s birthday today! He’s 24 and he’s complaining that he’s “sooooo old“, which is a total load, if you ask me. He was born an old man, so he can’t really get any older. I also have a couple of friends who share this birth date and it’s kind of creepy.
I’ve recently re-discovered [...]

Cat Eggs

I had a really weird dream recently… I don’t remember the whole thing, but the most vivid portion had to do with my cat, Coal. She apparently decided to nest in a small cupboard way up on a wall somewhere in the house (think one of those cupboards that goes above an over-the-stove microwave) and [...]

Sadface

I never realized how boring the internet can be when my friend Lunchbox isn’t on for dorky discussions about all the things we’re hardcore nerds for.
Anyhow, I think I’ve reached a sort of milestone as a crocheter, I guess. I’m working on my first true crochet commission, for my friend Vero. It’s a scarf, and [...]

Stag Beetles

I found a couple by the front door. First one was a female, decent size and she liked to try to bite my fingers when I was handling her. I let her go after watching her scramble around the bottom of a plastic tube I had left from a set of brushes. Then, last night, [...]

Art, crochet and words

I’ve been productive. Usually when I think about what to write in this thing, I think to myself, “There’s nothing interesting going on. I’m not doing anything.” But then I realized I’ve done quite a bit since my last blog entry.
I’ve been doing some writing of a cooperative sort and it’s been inspiring me to [...]

Movin’ on up

If anyone tried to access any part of my site or a sub-site on the skogul.net domain in the last 48 hours and got a 404 error, that’s because I’m in the process of moving my operations to a new host.
I’d been with DreamHost for 2 years, and despite a few problems (none of which [...]

Thirth…?

I was checking my email and there was a promotional/newsletter message and there was some kind of fancy ass new motherboard sweepstakes… so, I said, “What the hell, sign me up.” Never hurts, and I may just actually win, although I doubt it.
So, I’m putting in the info and all that, and I look at [...]

Prints and whatnot

A bit of shameless self-promotion: If anyone didn’t already know, I sell prints of some of my work through RedBubble. I’ve sold a few, but haven’t gotten any feedback on how they turned out. A few more sales wouldn’t hurt if anyone’s interested. :p
I finished the FlyFF version of Skogul piece. It turned out rather [...]

Falafel

Went with Nate to the college to get some papers back, and there’s this nice little market in a shopping center near the campus. Once we were done, I wanted to browse and we discovered there’s a bunch of really fresh, affordable mediterranean and middle eastern eats to be had there.
We ended up getting some [...]

Nothing Important

Not a whole lot of actual interest going on with me right now. Here’s a shortlist of the things of negligible interest.

I finally bothered to draw a proper reference for Skogul, though I feel like I could’ve added more to it, in terms of detail shots, but I got lazy.
Mother’s Day is tomorrow, and it’s [...]
