CherBear's Reflections: Sept. 2012

"I’m not running away from things, I am running to them. Before they flare and fade forever." - Dr. Who

The month has seemed to go fairly quickly. There have been plenty of birthdays, celebrating going on & being fairly productive.

My personal life: In general it wasn't that bad. Thanks once again for the birthday wishes, I really did appreciate them. I felt fairly productive getting more art requests done bit by bit. Granted I dodged a bullet over my laptop crashing due to an unforeseen shut down cuz of a power outtage that I had woken up to but I was able to repair & recover everything in tact. Scanner is still acting funny, too bad I have a bunch of traditional drawings to scan. On top of that, I have a journal to write in for my dreams & also to write recipes I find. I know there's the internet but still, its nice to have something physical to write in than relying on a keyboard & computer & something that can possibly crash.

MMOs: Still bummed but waiting to see what will happen to CoH. Other than that, I've hopped onto Audition every once in a while but I hate to say, 5 days after my birthday & an unexpected birthday gift at my door, I ended up playing Mists of Pandaria ~ so far, I've been liking the story from the get go & the starting zone for Pandarens.

Art: Regardless, I've been progressing through my requests, nearing an end before I can focus on larger projects I've been meaning to start on. I'm looking to finish what I started & hopefully by then show the other stuff I've been intending to work on. Such stuff as the comic idea I have, the story has still been worked on, a cross stitch that has a pattern of bears, I'll be sure to show that one, two other projects involving journals & online friends as an attempt to see if this is possible to do & that's a year long project but that's starting next year. Here's hoping.

Anyways, time to clear more of my plate out - looking forward to October ~ Halloween is coming up quick before you know it, its the holidays.

CherBear's Reflections/Aspirations: Aug/Sept. 2012

Plenty to speak of ...

...where did I go for a month?
...what did I do?
...how did August go for me?

So!

...where did I go for a month? : I shall start, after the end of July, I honestly have every intention to post & do all this other stuff ... funny enough, I did everything else BUT post. This included doing more artwork, livestreaming every Saturday & every other day in-between when the mood called for it.

...what did I do? : Among all that, I guess the reason I didn't end up posting or scanning anything to post was due to the hot weather that finally hit San Diego. Not to mention I got some family time, hanging out with my cousins a little more even though I was with them during Comic Con. I admit, I felt a bit melancholy due to a pass birthday. Its a little easier now but I still miss her & managed to get my relatives to come out in honor of that & I appreciate that greatly.

...how did August go for me? : Overall not too bad, my laptop is still somewhat stable & functioning.

I've been enjoying playing Redbana Audition on & off...world of warcraft - its been interesting since patch 5.0.4 dropped, relearning all my max character's abilities with all the new changes have been...fairly interesting. I think the most shocking was the fact City of Heroes closing - so sad to see it close; I've had fun memories, met some great people & had a good time. If another company manages to pick it up, I'd consider & watch to see where it would go to. Yes, guild wars 2 is out but I'm not looking to pick up. I am looking to hopefully play MoP when that does come out.

After this month long hiatus of doing everything but posting, I look to return to post & scan what I have been working & continue to work on my artwork...and remember to post!
