I finally sat down and watched an anime I've been REALLY looking forward to when I found out it was being produced - Eyeshield 21. YES...it's football...YES...I hated it in high school.

I will not have computer/internet access during mid-December-beginning January.

Why?

*shrugs* There's something up at my house and I don't know what...(I don't THINK I did anything wrong?)
That means all I'll be doing is sketching and inking. Kinda bites since I had planned to draw so much my hand would fall off. Kinda good 'cause now I'll finally get to draw more detailed, time consuming works instead of the loser linearts you see on my dA. (well, I'll try to?) And I'll get to work on manga pages.
