Things have finally calmed down after the very trying previous month. Now, perhaps, I can get some actual work done... both in and out of the office. I already feel like I've been more productive (and happier) in the past two weeks than in the past two months. Stress... It's not good for you.

I'm actually really glad because for the first time since I got my job at the university, I was able to do some volunteer work. I helped out for the majority of the weekend at this year's MoCCA Art Fest. Did anyone attend it? I met so many wonderful indie artists, and was especially excited to meet Ryan North, Kate Beaton, and Sho Murase (and buy their books). Even though the air quickly got warm and stuffy, it was a great event. Hopefully one year from now, I will be manning my own artist's table there instead of the register. ^_~

'Course that means that I'm really gonna have to step up my game. Gotta sketch more, and ink more, and color more, and background mo... well, yeah...

Anywhoos, my big goals this week, outside of the office, is to finish Merdoc, as well as clear out my dA inbox. The whole DTV thing and my not having cable (or a converter box) will probably help with that. Not that I watch TV all that much anyway... O_o

Speaking of dA... Did anyone notice that journals and galleries are now RSS Feed-capable? How long has it been like that? I mean, I could be just really oblivious (it's been known to happen), but I don't remember any news or notifications about it, and honestly... I think it's the type of feature that we really needed and that should've been proudly announced.
