Wooooo boy, 492 Deviations, 275 messages and ONE note...
This is gonna take awhile. I didn't even look at my emails yet.
No folks, I'm not dead, I'm perfectly fine if not a touch on the fucking exhausted side.
Remember when I said I was gonna be gone for 2 days?
Yeah, turns out it was for TWO WEEKS. This is only a short afternoon off as I'll have to head back in about 2 hours if not less.
I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with mosquitoes and sandflies in order to help my dad at his workplace while he jettisons in between the woods and the hospital, every 8 hours for intravenous treatments for his foot. Turns out he has an infection in the bone AND some gout in there. We're still puzzled.
I'm GLAD I brought both Gashapon and Leviathan's Blue Waltz over. Ga lets me play games when Vivi's playing music, Vivi is easier to carry around when I have to move in the kitchen...
It's a nice partnership between my two DSs.

Other than that let's see... I got my nintendo Club order half an hour ago, the Mario hat-shaped DS games rack. Right now I just threw a random selection in there but once I'm back for good (SHOULD be Tuesday) I'll just put my favorites in there, for easy access.

I also got some lined paper doodles done in my cookbook, IF I have time today I'll post them, if not you'll have to wait for when I'm back for good.

On that day, don't expect much either; I have a lot of animal Crossing days to catch up on.

Same goes for Provenance, I can only start up work on it when I'll be back for good. Keep your fingers crossed for me, I need mine to cook!

At least for tomorrow and Friday; I'm going in the woods to help and replace my dad at his job while he drives around from hospital to hospital.

Of course, "replacing the cook" is NOT part of my curriculum; I'm supposed to ASSIST the cook.

Welp, at least I'm gonna try. Can't be too hard when you have recipes to work with. To tell you the truth, I'm more worried about timing; I don't know when these people want their food, they may arrive earlier than or later than noon, stuff like that. I'd LIKE to have the food ready for them.

Theeeeeeeen there's the mosquitoes and black flies. I'm allergic to their bite.

*pour bottle of vitamin B1 down her throat*

Normal kitchen hot I can handle but kitchen hot in the woods might give me the runs. We'll see once we get there.

ALSO.
The new poll?
The answer is in picking the right letter.

No, not me sillies; Gashapon!
Heeeeh, yes, my good ol' classic NDS in pearly pink is going to be semi-retired. Semi only because he's still a very useful piece of hardware (I use him as my alarm clock, he's much easier to set and shut off than that unwieldy piece of machinery that is my mickey mouse clock) and has a much better battery life than my soon to be brand new NDSi.

Then of course there's the EVER IMPORTANT gameboy slot; which is also why I semi-retired the GBA SP since it plays older GB games. the Gameboy and the gameboy color are fully retired.

So how did I end up getting the new toy if I'm broke?

I.....don't know. My mother left yesterday for an eye exam in Rimouski and called me an hour ago asking me if I wanted a DSLite or a DSi.

DSLite has the actual color I want while DSi is loaded with new features for me to fiddle with and possibly break but it didn't come in pink...

But an opportunity like that doesn't happen often and any game I would want was either not in stock (Dragon Quest V) or not coming out till the last quarter (Mario and Luigi Bowser's inside Story).

I then asked mom "Isn't that expensive?"
"It's for going out with your dad at the Chandler hospital tomorrow, at 7 am."
"Yeah but... I was gonna go anyway, no need to bribe me."
"You earned it! You worked so hard lately!"

Sooooo I'm gonna get a new toy in blue, for a change. Heck, anything but black. Besides, freaking thing is skinnable! I'll just pop down to decalgirl and ask if they can at LEAST make one custom skin for me!

Anybody got any idea what I should name my new thingy?

:EDIT:
I got it in my hands and I fiddled with it for quite some time.

It's name shall be...

Leviathan's Blue Waltz.
Leviathan for short.
Vivi for friends.
Kinda like how I refer to my laptop as Valefor while it's full name is Valefor Ultros.

Thank you for voting! (Sorry Cagnazzo, better luck next gadget!)

Wut the hell?
I just got a cryptic note from the admins saying I made an invalid porn report on a picture.
I go to look...

I remember the artist's name as he posted penetration and fellatio (I got nothing against erect penises but the TOS says not to stick them anyplace) and the invalid porn picture was...


A pantyshot.

Why the bloody HELL would I report a pantyshot???

It would only make sense if before he was banhammered, he changed the file in the deviation because... I mean come oooooon, a pantyshot?

O_o

In other news, book was sent to printer, waiting for an answer.

Sooner, sooner! Almost there!
The reason I'm bugging you all with this is that I'm just about as excited to show it as you guys are to take a glimpse at it!
I just sent Proto some last minute edits (there might be a couple more depending on what the printer says) and....

When all is said and done...

YOU'LL GET TO SEE THE COVER.

I'm allowed to act like a big star, that cover took me a day to draw and I absolutely adore it. ^_^

In the meantime, I'll post a portrait I did of me and Protoclown. Wether it's relevant to the book or not is for me to know and for you to find out.

Either way it won't spoil one goddamn thing.
