Well, it's been a while since I gave you guys a real update, so lets start with my job.

I've been working at Shogun Japanese Steak House for about a month now, and so far it's pretty good. The work is easy and the pay is decent, the only down side is how long the hours are. Although everyone seems nice and easy going, there is only one person I can really trust. He even took me out to dinner after work to a bar were we ate and shot some pool. =3 There's another guy that won't stop hitting on me. I made it clear I'm not gay but he just wont stop. T__T; Uhhgh. Also, there are like NO FRMALE employees there. The only waitress is a woman pushing 60. -___-; So it's a huge sausage fest...But the sushi bar is great! It's a bit expensive, but being how fresh the sushiis, it's worth it. XD

I recently bought an external hard drive for my laptop. my laptop has less than 30 gigs of space, but this hard drive has 250 gigs. Needless to say my computer space problems are over! Not to mention I can carry my computer's work and programs with me where ever I go!

I also took my laptop and tablet (still broken) to a small and modest computer repair shop. First they went and looked at my tablet. They did every thing they could, even went frankestine on it, but they just couldn't save it. ;__; Death by power surge, the circutry is fried. Now most corporate places would have charged me just to tell me WHY it doesn't work. But these guys TRIED to fix it and didn't even charge me for it! (I love places like that!) Now about my laptop. I took it to get it up-graded, but since it's a LAPTOP, there isn't much you can do to it. Although, they did double my computer's memory and helped me clean out alot of the useless stuff and conflicting programs. I told them that I use my computer for art, and showed them some of my work. They were very impressed and asked me what programs I used to do art. I told them I use Fireworks 8 and Photoshop 7, and one of the guys gave me Photoshop CS3 for free! So now I have PLENTY of space for my computer, a MUCH smoother running system, AND PSCS3 as a bonus! X3 It was a great experiance, then only down side is that I still need a new tablet. But I saw a good one in a nearby store for only $70 USD (which is a steal!) Since I've already spent what I could out of this 2 weeks pay (with life expensis taken out first of coarse) on my computer and for Mother's Day, I can't afford it right now. I'll either have to wait another 2 weeks or raise money for it on the side. Once I can get a new tablet, I'll be back up to speed!

Also, for those who chat with me online, I had to get rid of MSN messenger for the sake of my computer. So I no longer use MSN. You may as well take me off your list. As for the Yahoo Messenger users, I am NOT around during the day. I'm usually working and I don't get home until after 10PM my time. And those of you who live outside America and across the globe, you'll rarely see me unless you ruin youre sleep cycle. I just want to make it clear that I'm not hiding from anyone, I just don't get to chat as much as I used to. Not to mention that I CAN NOT chat and do art at the same time, so I have to pick one over the other. Work has me working 8 hours out of the day, with 3 hour brakes in between. The resturant closes for part of the day, so the staff leaves and comes back later that night. My problem is that I live VERY far from work, and there is no way I'm waisting gas going all the way home just to come back to work a few hours later. Sowhat do I do? I vist a nearby friend until it's time to go back to work. In short, work alone leaves me with 11 hours in the day I can't do art. If you add that in 8 hours of sleep, that's 19 out of 24 hours of time I'm occupied. That leave me with 5 hours of ME time, at BEST. I still have work at home that usually eats that up. T__T; So now I hope you guys have an understanding of my schedule.

Oh, i've also contributed to a premeire furry magazine that has yet to be completed. More details later.
