I was having a really bad day. So I was gonna get online and check my email and hit the sack to end the day. Then what do I see in my inbox but an email from dA saying some lovely soul bought me a 3 month subscription! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!! That really made my day turn out good. Who ever you are..... Lot's of (fluffy) bear hugs to you! Merry Christmas everyone!

Well after I posted this I went to town and guess what? Flooded streets EVERYWHERE. I don't mean the puddles came out into the middle of the lane. I mean the small lakes were all the way across the road and some of the deeper ones had shallows up to the bottom of the car. You'd think the city would have been more prepared for this since the weather man has been saying that this storm was coming for some time now. But no, all the gutters were clogged with leaves. And the only reason the flooding subsided as quickly as it did is because people were out at the corner with rakes, shovels and broom sticks trying to clear the blockages. Well.....there's out tax payer dollars at work, no?

We have had rain off and on for 3 days now. I hope it lasts. We aren't in much danger of flooding out here in the California's Central Valley. Not sure about the other areas of Cali though. If they are as parched as we are, they shouldn't either. The dams will fill up first. But with all the fires, especially the Station fire, land slides might be an issue. Any way, I like rain. I wanted to wish you all a happy holidays!

I woke up yesterday and I couldn't from my window to the sidewalk for the fog. Sure fire sign that winter has finally arrived. At least I'm not sick anymore. My dumb ass went over to a friend's house to see if he needed anything from the store since he was sick. I didn't consider that my system was still weak from fighting off my own flu, so idiot and a half got it again. Much more mild this time and it went away pretty quick, but I am done with being sick for a while thank you. How's winter in your area? Or summer, depending on which side of the equator you're on.

I got the flu or a cold or something from my mom. In all honesty it felt like both. Yeah, that sucked sweaty monkey balls. I broke fever recently, a few hours ago, or at least I think I did. I feel a ton better, but I've been at my com for like 10 minutes the last 3 days. An hour or two if you count falling asleep at the com. That is not something that happens all that often to me cause my chair is so damn uncomfortable. The weird thing about this flu/cold is that I was STARVING. Never had that before. I ate like crazy, and it wasn't like it was out of boredom or something. I was so hungry, pangs and all. I hope to get back on track in the next few days. I just wanted to see how everyone else out there is doing. There has been a nasty flu going around out here, swine flu aside. And a side note, chicken Pho does wonders for a flu. If you have a Vietnamese restaraunt in your area that serves it, I highly recommend it when you are sick. That and a soup called Tom Kha which is coconut milk and lime soup with spices. It was really soothing. Anyway, stay well out there.

So I just had a great vacation with my mom and sister. We went to Santa Barbra and had a ton of fun. Walked my butt OFF! XD After my sister left mom and I went to Yosemite and hiked down the steepest trail to Merced Grove. Yeah, the thing about going a mile down hill is that you have to go a mile back up the hill. Would have helped if we had thought of that BEFORE we got to the bottom. My legs were jello but we had tons of fun. We found some ice tea flavored hard candy. I know it may not sound appetizing to some, but that stuff is so damn good. It tastes like sweet tea. I mean, exactly like it. They are so addictive.
I've got a couple of pics coming up. I really like how things are turning out with my art. I just posted a Venture Brothers/Bleach fan art. I had that idea in my head for a while. Probably should have spent more time on it, but it's just for the gag. I doubt that many Venture Brother fans are going to know what is going on, but I figure a good number of Bleach fans will get it.
I hope everyone had a great halloween!
