Do you ever just have one of those days that either, piss you off for no apparent reason, or you're just so damn bored, you actually have to go in search of something to do or else you'd just sleep the day away? I'm having one of those days. It didn't start out terrible either! I'm not even sure I'd label it terrible, just that I've been thinking about all the things I need to get done/do and haven't.

Like the death of my ps3. I don't game all the time, but I do game and most of my tv watching apps are on that thing...like my amazon prime. It's not a big thing, I mean I watch any shows I miss on the internet like most people, but it's the fact that I now have to replace (a fat 60gb...refurbished...yeah I know...), what at the time cost me $325 (this is before they had the slim or slim2) with another one that's going to cost me $300. At least it has 320GB and it's a bundle. So I get a game and a free month of playstation plus with it. AND it's the slim (1st) version so it's won't hum like a leaf blower when I've been gaming for over 5 hours straight. I loose track of time like a lot of us.

I also got to thinking about the fact that I need to take my ass to the dentist so I can get a bridge on my back molars, this thus requires me to get myself some insurance. (i've been lazy since I canceled my last insurance plan) I also need to go get my eyes checked and get contacts. I can't take these glasses anymore!!!! I imagine that all that is going to set me back about $450 to $500 and it's just depressing. I don't have a nine to five job. I work off my art and make money that way. Thank god CQ hired me. It's nice to have a steady flow of money, but it keeps me busy doing 3 or 4 covers at a time in the span of a week and sometimes it take forever to get replies as I sometimes work with people waaaay outside my time zone. Like my 7pm is there 7am.

This then makes me stay up later (like 3 to 5am) and sleep all day, thus getting nothing done during the day. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful, but boy...

On top of this I was stupid and decided to bleach my hair. Now my hair was very dark brown to black and down to the middle of my back. I was smart enough to cut it, but apparently missed bits when I was bleaching, thus leaving me with patches of brown in the bright orange/blonde hair. 2nd turn around and the patches are gone, but now I've got bleach blonde bangs and the rest is a light orange. I knew this was going to happen. I did my research. It's a part of the process when going from black hair to blonde. So it didn't surprise me, but then again I'm partial to the orange. lol. But I've plans to take it to white and then put it pink highlights in my bangs. (they're side swept) But that's not the point, the point is after 2 week of deep conditioning and now with my hair back to full strength I'm going to bleach again until I get that white, to only get the bleach in the mail, but not have had the developer even shipped yet....wth...these were ordered at the same time. On top of this I'm anxiousness to get my new computer chair that's coming on Friday as the chair I got for x-mas now just sucks. The padding in it is worse than the other computer chair I had for over 10 years. That sucker had good padding that just wore down over time I guess. But it was one of those cheap ones that go to your mid-back and had no arms. This ones the same, except it has arms. The new one I got is leather and it's full back with arms and looks comfortable as all hell.

Now adding all this up over the span of a week and finally having nothing to do (waiting for a reply) I found myself thinking about it all and I realized I just wanted to crawl into bed and sleep until Friday when my chair arrives and possibly (my little spot of happiness) my knee high, pink stitched and pink laced canvas shoes that I've been drooling over for ages. (this is the part where I laugh maniacally) 

Also to top it off, the season finale of Grimm last night sucked ass.

Y-e-a-h it's one of those days. Excuse me while I go curl up under my covers and sleep.

Well I've changed my journal skin after all these months...I'm not sure I can say years. lol. Anyway a lot has happened since the last time I posted!

I was hired by Curiosity Quills Press as a cover artist, but I'm still doing freelance so you can note or contact about commissioning me. I'm always open. I am actually right now doing Camp NaNoWriMo which is this month. I'm only at 4,000+ into my goal, but that's a good thing as opposed to last November when I only had 700+. lol

I'm working on my Demon Chronicles story, Cold Burn.

I gutted my site and decided to use wordpress to show off my port. It's weird working with wordpress as I had to familiarize myself with it and I still am. It's rather strange. Anyway I got it back up and going. It doesn't contain all my work, but the ones I wanted to show off. As a port should show the things you like. I also have book reviews going on the site. I'm given ARC's for reviews so I put them up on my site too-- besides the other main ones like amazon and goodreads, etc'.  I've actually still got several sitting on my tablet waiting for me to finish them or start on them. lol.

Also my PS3 DIED!!! I was watch my guilty pleasure Breaking Dawn part 2 when it suddenly shut off and gave me the YLOD (yellow light of death)!!!! My first thought was: Whatever god or gods there be are punishing me for watching Twilight!! HAHA.

Well I went onto youtube (damn that things handy) and figured out how to get my disc out and even learned that there was a way for me to fix my PS3 without opening it. So I fixed the sucker! BWAHAHAHAHA HA!

The hardest part about fixing was actually getting the damn hard drive out! That stupid ass blue screw!!!! Anyways, it's fixed now...though I imagine it's only temporary, but I don't understand what caused it to die in the first place! I don't really game that often and I've lately, only been using it to watch tv online as it's more comfortable, then sitting at the desk and watching. But as it is, I may just get a new one as this is only a 60 Gig and the fan is not have a higher count blade and its hums like I'm running my hairdryer on high. So I'm forced to keep it practically in front of my vent or right under my window to cool it down. Depends on the season. I've only had it for...2...3 years I think. I don't remember. Anyways, before I complain about it more. I do believe I owe some people a feature or two.
