The only art I've really been doing is the cake stuff, and then the subsequent photographing of the cake stuff, but I'll be sure to update when I have unrelated photography. And there's a restaurant interested in hanging some of my 2D stuff, so we'll see where that goes.

This is my first day off in ages, and there have been a couple 80 hour weeks in the past few months, so today is all about uploading, food, wine, and The West Wing on my DVR. I hope you all are enjoying your weekends as well!

The cakes were delivered on time, but the Ariel one slid a bit and the sides were smooshed. It came back, I fixed it (took a little time, had to wait for the frosting and then match the color, etc.), sent it off again. I had a few more orders to do, but finally made it home, fairly exhausted at that point. And sure enough, an hour later, I get a message from an assistant manager saying the cake was damaged during transit, once again.

The first Little Mermaid cake was completely ruined, the design flattened, the sides sliced through. The driver wasn't particularly careful. Anyway, I had to come back in before 7am Saturday to do the entire cake over again by 9:30am. I ended up delivering it myself, haha. Oh, and then going back to work to close (12am) and do a couple more cakes.

Sorry, this is a total bitch-fest entry, but I need to get it off my chest. I was ultimately satisfied with the final products (and I got to see the customer's home when I delivered one. Wow. Having billionaire parents sure gets you an impressive mansion to hold your expensive crap), and needless to say, not having to go to work today was pretty sweet.

And now I have a bunch of crap to upload, and I still haven't unpacked because of work and crap. At least like 45% of the things in my new work now, yay...

I had Monday off, which was nice, but I spent it convincing people to let me rent one of their apartments. I succeeded (lease is up this weekend, new girl is moving into my place Saturday), but my credit is so awful they are requiring month and a half deposit. So now I need to give them quite a lot of money - a cashier's check, no less - on Friday in order to sign the lease. That's fine, but it is all of my money, and I'll have to give up most of my check next cycle for the rest of the deposit. The cycle after that, well that goes to rent again. So I have no money, like, none. I should have enough in tips to pay for gas and that's it.

Like I said, the girl is moving in Saturday. I worked 7am-9pm yesterday, 7am-4pm today, 3pm-11pm tomorrow, 3pm-12am Friday, 9am-12am Saturday, 7am-4pm Sunday, 7am-9pm Monday, 7am-9pm Tuesday, 7am-4pm Wednesday. And none of my shit is packed. When am I supposed to move? Gah! The girl is an aquaintance, a friend of my soon-to-be-former roommate, so she's fine with me gradually moving my stuff out, but the entire room has to be empty by Saturday. I'm so boned.

Obviously, my work schedule sucks and we just hired a moron, so there is that to deal with. Oh, and my parents are coming to visit. On Tuesday. For like a week. WTF?? Why can't these crises be spread out? I don't mind them individually, but all at once? ARGH!!!

I'm so excited to see my family, I mean, they live 2,000 miles away and I don't see them often. But the days leading up to the visit are simply shit, there's no getting around it. Urgh.

Life sucks, good night.

They linked my 4 little fangirl sketches, woohoo! People really seem to like the Mai from Boiling Rock, and hey, I'm all about that, lol. It's pretty scribbly, though. I'll try really hard to finish the colored version tonight, but I suck at digital art, so it might ruin the whole thing. Ha.

I feel bad for totally finking on that weekend contest thing. My character was Teo and theme was "It's a hard-knock life." Wow. Lol, sad and ironic. And then I just ran out of time to do it, plus my pathetic little brain could produce no decent ideas for it. Sigh.

Okay, I'm really full of veggie burger right now (and fries, ugh). I think it's time to start working on that coloring. And maybe watch Waiting for Guffman. For inspiration.
