Shining like the Alabama moon

Really nice day yesterday. Like, 20c, blue sky, and not a cloud in sight. I cruised around with the windows and sunroof open and listening to some tunes... Gorgeous weather. I went out to the lake and walked around a bit just before the sun set behind the mountain.

Just to think I'll be going to Calgary where they just had 30cm of snow.

So yeah - things are going to speed up drastically considering I ship out on Saturday. In between now and then I need to write two exams, pack, remove insurance for the car, and many many more things. I'm somewhat nervous about shipping my computer on the plane, but I'm really not sure what the next best way would be to do so. I don't see throwing it on the bus being any less safer for the added inconvenience. Bah. I guess I'll package up the tower nice and snug in the box and hope for the best.

So don't expect much from this blog for the next month or so - I can't really guarantee I'll find the time to do a weekly update. I'll do my best to keep up with the daily sketch, though. I am ahead by ~10 drawings or so, but I want to keep that buffer for when I'm really swamped. That means I'll need to find a sketchbook for when I go to San Fransisco and am away from my machine for a few days. But anyways, here's a highlight from the past week of arting:



Well ok, I actually did that one up this afternoon. My poor ol' hat has seen better days - it's pretty grungy lookin'. I'm actually wearing my Half-Life 2 cap at the moment. So anyways, that about wraps things up. And unless I don't post again in the next little while... Wish me luck...

As the rain falls down upon the interstate
Any doubts she had are all but washed away
One long look back
At Birmingham

Cause theres another chance and a someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
Shes looking for her promised land
Out beyond the lights of
Birmingham

One of those songs I heard on the radio as a kid, but never really figured out the title for until now. Brings back some memories of a basement suite with an ocean view.
