My previous PC which is only 2 years old, and its motherboard got corrupted. It's not worth it to spend 30 minutes to one hour of trying to start up my PC without getting the Blue Screen Of Death or hanging up. It was such a pain in the ass.

I finally got Photoshop CS2 installed into my new PC, and I hope I don't screw up my new PC.

I have been very busy with my school work for the past two months. I need to focus more on my school work than my hobby, for obvious reasons, but I will try to maintain my practicing a few times per month when I have time.

I hope to get at least three or at the minimum of two sketches posted in dA by Feb 2010. Due to the lack of quantity and the on-going カガリとルビー project, I try to take advantage of this, by coming up with more interesting themes and ideas for dA. I have been listening to a variety of music soundtracks on Youtube, and songs have been giving me some ideas, and they are nice to hear when you draw, depending on what u're drawing.

BTW, I can't wait for New Super Mario Bros Wii to come out. I have been itching to get a new Wii game. I haven't got a new Wii game for 11 months. Last time I bought a Wii game was Animal Crossing: City Folk.

YAY! It's the time of the year, we get to turn back our clocks one hour back! Now we have one extra hour! WHOO HOO!

BTW, I had to reset everything in my PC again. Even though I sometimes find it irritating, it's not a big deal, cuz I have backup data. I dressed up as Luigi again for Halloween, and I never knew a lot of people in my school enjoyed me being Luigi that much. xD It was as fun as it is at Anime Evolution. I saw a Waluigi and Wario at my school. Donkey Kong ran across the stage when someone threw a banana on the stage with the Benny Hill song being heard at the same time. It was epic with that song! xD

This year's gonna be hectic. I am gonna go to university soon, and get a major in Computing Science. I have to get good grades and study hard to secure myself a spot, which is why I haven't been spending a lot time on drawing.

Coming Soon (as soon as Photoshop is installed back into my PC):
-カガリとルビー４ (Pixiv ONLY) Release: End of November
-Sequel to Luigi: Working Part-time [link] Release: December

My Pokemon HeartGold ROM no longer freezes and NO MORE black screens! I give credit to my Japanese friend who gave me a ROM with a patch that does NOT freeze at all! I played the game for one hour and a half and it DOES NOT FREEZE! Now with the black screens out of the way, I can continue my adventure!

So far, I have 16 badges. My team is currently between lvl 51-53 range.

Team (Updated on October 5th):
-Kagari(Female Typlosion) Gentle nature
It means bonfire in Japanese, and she is named after the Team Magma commander from the Pokemon Special Manga.
-Shigeru (Male Noctowl) Serious nature
It means flourishing in Japanese, and he is named after Shigeru Miyamoto, the man behind the creation of Mario and many Nintendo games.
-Otaki (Male Furret) Serious nature
His name is based off the Japanese name for Sentret.
-Yawako (Female Ampharos) Relaxed nature
Her name is based off the Japanese word for soft.
-Slippy (Male Quagsire) Modest nature
His name is named for his slippery skin.
-Elly (Female Piloswine) Lonely nature
Her name is named after a character from the movie: Ice Age 2.

Pokemon Heart Gold = WIN, Chuck Norris approved, FALCON APPROVED, Obama Approved, best remake ever in history!

To me! Yay! It's finally my birthday. I have nothing much to say. Hurray!

In 3 more days, another year is added to my age, and I can FINALLY legally play rated-M (for mature) games.

School's keeping me busy lately. Math's a path filled with pain, and we are learning about Stalin in history class, the man of steel that ruled the USSR with an iron fist from 1924 to 1953, and looked like Mario himself. Lenin almost looked like Luigi to me. xD

I just downloaded a GB/GBC emulator for my DS lite, and playing Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden...OBEY ME WARIO! DESTROY MARIO!! (commercial reference)..Coins. I never played the old Mario games before. I still I could have a chance to try Superstar Saga. I love the Mario and Luigi RPG series, BEST RPG...I HAVE CHORTLES!...series ever played. M&L>KH

I hope to get my latest artwork done by my birthday or at least close to my b-day. I haven't drawing a lot lately. I am being more careful and kind of picky about what I draw. I usually consume a lot of time on one sketch. After I am done with the カガリとルビ- series in pixiv, I will plan to draw more Mario pictures (due to the popularity of my Mario drawings, and Mario's my favorite video game series).

For those who don't know what is the カガリとルビ- series, it's a contract I made to myself to draw 7 different pictures in sequence with a story line filled with dialogues (only in Japanese). Over time, each picture is supposed to be better than the last one (Not always the case). The main objective of the series is to advance in drawing hands better, increasing exposure to all kinds of poses and etc. The カガリとルビ- series however is a blasphemy to dA policies due to its content. Each month, a picture will be added to the series. There are currently 3 pictures in the カガリとルビ- series. If you're interested in the series, be sure to send me a note, and you have to be tolerant enough to tolerate the content.
