Tired of losing your tablet pen all the time? Check out what PenMoto has to offer! It's a magnetic ring that keeps your pen attached to your hand as you switch between drawing and typing and whatever else you may need to free your hand for, without having to put down that pen and then go searching for it afterwards... Personally I'm looking forward to this because I tend to stubbornly not put down my pen when typing, resulting in sore wrists and many typos. ;) Check out the page, watch the video, and I hope you find it compelling enough to support!

That aside, the weather has been so hot! Looks like summer is protesting.

EDIT: Watched GoT and loved it! The adaptation was spot on-- it's been years since I read the books and I thought that my memory wouldn't have held up, yet I was able to identify characters and settings at first glance, plus it felt amazing to see shots that were strikingly similar to how I envisioned it as I was reading.

It's actually not a decision I made. April and I were both out when the mother returned, hissing and angry, leaving my father to deal with it and eventually he let the kitten go. April and I were at least spared the moral decision of returning it to the mother vs giving it a human home. Either choice has its ups or downs. I hope this decision sits alright with you guys who sat along for this whole crazy ride and who wished for the kitten to have a good home. I hope it does too.

The Big Ten (that I can think of at the moment):

1. Improve in art (of course!) and be more productive in general
2. Better time management! Stick through and pass my own independent studies
3. Learn more 2D and 3D animation, comic story telling; storyboarding; (sequential arts in general)
4. Slowly keep moving forward on becoming ambidextrous
5. Get healthier! Sleep earlier (for more dreams!) And take care of those eyes
6. Be more patient with my art and while talking to foreigners who don't speak English too well
