I just got back from watching The Princess and the Frog, Disney's first traditionally animated film since 2004.

This has easily been the most anticipated animated film over the last year. Did it live up to the hype?

The short answer is yes.

Had to pay taxes on my unemployment from two years ago *DIES*

At least the IRS is actually doing its job this year and our government isn't one I'd mind throwing money at now.

So I'm in crucial need of a couple big commission takers. It will take a few months to finish any new big color pencil commissions I take but you'll get your sketches right away. I've got some other commission sketches I have to get cracking on this weekend, too, so may as well make a day of it and take a break from all the other work I'm waiting to get paid on XD

New comic is up



To my non WoW friends, Cataclysm (the next expansion) has said that they will allow new race/class combinations, including the Tauren Paladin. One of the Retribution (Or knows as Ret for short) Paladin spells is called Avenging Wrath, where visually they give you huge golden wings for the duration of the buff. I hope the rest is self explanitory!

I'm also going to post a part of my comic blog here, since it actually might get more interest here. Forgive the ugly orange borders, these images were made for the comic post originally!

( Cut for Length )

Things are not going well for me. I'm not happy in anything I do. I still don't have a job. I'm just worthless peice of meat rotting away at home. Yes, I've thrown resumes are portfolios out. No, no one even calls me back for a follow up. I'm useless and worthless and I just don't want to deal with it any more. All I want is a chance, but in this day and age people won't even give you that. I'm sick and tired of it. how long is one expected to remain positive when things keep compounding to make things worse and worse.

Anyone else going to the NYC Freelancer's Guild Christmas networking party?

Kiefer told me something kinda heartwarming the other day!

Gaspar (now Sylvester; see icon), the male black kitten from the litter we fostered this year, went home with one of Kiefer's co-workers. The same co-worker also sent a note out to the team just the other day, encouraging people to make sure they participated in the giving tree campaigns currently going on in the workplace. He sounded very passionate about getting people involved.

Good to know the little kitten has such a caring family! <3

So I went online to try to find out if its at all possible to buy some melting icicle lights...Still haven't been able to see if a major store carries them though...Anyway, my travels brought me to this incredible video:

All I can say is...WOAH

And since we're on the topic of random weird videos, check this one out too:

New Daily Quests is up! Humor me and make sure you read the post too (DEB!) ~_^



For my non-WoW friends, a bit of an explanation. You go into a raid when you need 10 or more people to complete a quest/dungeon. You can have up to 40. Anyway, while you are in a raid, you can't loot things for simple quests that aren't labeled specifically for a raid. So if an NPC asks you to grab 12 eggs, you won't be able to loot them while in a raid. Its done because they don't want people just joining raids and getting splash XP while doing easily soloable quests. It works well, but once in a while you forget you're still in a raid, and this happens!

On IM today, I chatted with my WoW-addicted co-worker about an upcoming raid. On a whim, I wrote up a quick wishlist my main (Quaternia, a Beast Mastery hunter) would write to Santa. My co-worker replied (his is the funniest), I shared both with Kiefer, and he added his own.


Dear Santa,

I have been a good huntard this year. I always feed my pet lots of fishies, and my DPS has gotten better all year. For Christmas, I would like a kick-a$$ helm with lots of crit.

Love,

Quat



Dear Santa,

I've been a good Drood healzorz all year, i've only let huntards / dps die when they really really deserved it, and i've only called 3 main tanks douche-tards (pugs, and they really really deserved it too). All i want for christmas is for Blizzard to stop FUCKING with my HoTs and essentially crippling me until i get all new gear to make up for their evil mean-nesss.

XOXO,

Mathais.

PS: It would also be hillarious if you gave Quat a lump of coal for Christmas.




Dear Santa,

This year, I was really really good. I learned Survival and killed all the bosses in Naxxramas three times. Aren't you proud of me? So for Christmas, I'd like a new gun and some new boots and a new trinket to boost my stats so I can start killing the bosses in Ulduar. Also, please give Herkales the Hallowed Helm so he can get his Achievement. Thank you.

What would YOUR WoW, D&D, or other RPG/MMO character write to Santa this year? =D
