Yo.

I had a dream about an ex last night. It felt like he forgave me for all of the pain I had caused him. That... was nice. I wonder what he's up to these days. I hope he's doing okay.

Um, okay, so anyway. Let's show off some recent arts. First, the friend portraits that I started in 2014, were stolen, returned, and then finished in 2015 (in time to give for Jan. 2016). Pretty interesting backstory there.

Wow, placing those was more difficult than it should have been. :|

Okay, next art project was more recent. A "stenciled" (i.e. tiny pieces of painter's tape) Monster Hunter Felyne on an apron.

So, I signed an offer to buy a condo today. All the context clues point to me not getting it. I keep trying to look back on all of my life experiences and see which of them comes close to this... maybe thinking I could be part of the crew team? No, that was a bit different. I think this one's different. I stood outside a bit when I got home today; looked out over the Berkeley hills and into the darkness of the bay. I resolved to keep trying at this. And even if it ends up that I have to change my lifestyle and go back to living-in-my-room a la roommate style, I'll be okay. I'm still alive; I still have a job; I still have my cats. I'll be okay. I'll just have to go back to my lair and think up a different plan to achieve what I want. And... maybe try to pin down exactly what it is that I want...
