ReWrote the story. Nessecary do to missing scripts. Trying to put it all on paper now. New names for some of the characters. Personal issues with the old names, not worth getting into. Finally found a name for the strippy shirt lady that I uploaded a while back....DeaAddormentata, Most will call her DeaAddora for short. Hopefully this means I can start working again soon.
Trying to get more help from family, I need sleep and more fre time to complete portfolio.
Did I mention that I'll probably apply to be a teacher once I graduate?
Animation requires you to move every few years, jobs are unstable. So I figured a few years teaching untill Kat is big enough to understand.
Kat is beautiful. 4 months almost over 12 pounds, just beautiful.
She is now pissed at her bouncer so internet time is over.
Mommy to the rescue. |

| update of sorts |
[Jul. 28th, 2008|12:41 pm] |
Alrightly, my doctor gave me the postpartum clear, but I'm still having to limit activities.
Katherine turned allergic to breastmilk at 1 month. allergic to milk-based formula at 2 months. She is currently on Nutragamil or is it Nutramigal... either way it's 60-90 dollars per week to feed her.
Kit Kat (Katherine) as I've been calling her this week also enjoys Rice cereal, Oatmeal, apples, prunes, peaches, cinnamon, ginger, Pedialyte of the fruit variety... and bananas.
KitKat is also holding her head up beautifully, scooting on her tummy and back, trying to sit up, trying to stand up. She tells her Daddy jokes and me stories. (babbling and a whole lot of laughing)
She says things that sound a whole lot like the following: Gotta Go, MaMa, Dad gum Daddy, Oma, Papa, Bubba, Change me, Feed me, I don't know, no, yeah, uh-huh, nuh-uh...
Gotta Go was the first thing she said the rest just kinda followed.
Anyways she trying to get to big to fast just like all kids.
On another note. Mom and Dad are going to start babysitting so I can get back to work on my portfolio. After that's done I'm going to finnish my degree and look into maybe being a substitute for awhile. at least until Kat is in school, then who knows what will happen. |

Kiki will be here any day now. I'm starting to dialate and she's in position.
I was trying to get back into the swing of drawing so here's a doodle.
Prego Barbie.
I was looking in the mirror last night, and do you have ANY idea how much pregnancy can change your appearance? and no I'm not talking about the ginormous belly.... |

Weekly ultrasounds to monitor Katherines movement. Daily monitoring of sugar levels (finger pricks 6+ times a day). No Sugar, Low Carb. Still haven't heard from the nutritionist though... |
|

[Mar. 23rd, 2008|09:15 pm] |
So I tested positive for gestational diabetes...
Doctor in the morning, nutritionist later this week probably, yeah... |
|
|
| pregnancy update |
[Mar. 11th, 2008|09:44 am] |
My Iron is down, my sugar is up, I feel like hell. I start a new vitamin this week and I have a blood test for gestational diabebtes next week. Until then, No sweets, no white sugar, no white grain, no juice. Limited fruit, pastas, cereals. I'm allowed to eat Meat and veggies. I get One soda per day to treat migraines, no soda if there is no migraine. This really sucks, I'm NOT a meat and veggy person. ick.
Good News. Baby is a beautiful little girl. Development is perfect and she's gaining weight fine.
Two more months of hell and then it's baby time.
Working as much on the art as I can but I'm stuck in bed most of the time and my cats keep taking away my projects. Not joking. Bootsie is a 12 pound tom cat that crawls up next to me and using either his paws or teeth will take away whatever I am working on and lay down on me where I can't get up to get it back. 12 pounds is alotta cat, even more so when you are on restriction from your doctor. |

I said a lot of stuff last year about this project and made a lot of excuses.
Here's one more
I'M PREGNANT! Its a girl. Her name will be Katherine and she is due to arrive in May.
This being the news I've decided to give myself one more try on this story.
Details to come. |

I will be there August 5 - 9.
Sweet.
New web site right after that.
Portfolio work will be put up on a domain that Steve in buying and I'll be putting aside a little space for this little project. I have not started drawing the comic again yet but I have been drawing. This is a good thing. The class I'm taking this term requires alot of drawing. Roughly 20-30 hours a week outside of class. Maybe i'll get lucky and budget in a few extra for this. I would really like to.
I DID NOT LIE. As of mid July I had a new site ready to up but keenspace was down and now that It's the first of August I hope to start drawing again. So I'm not ready to give up yet.
My drawing abilities have showed improvement over the last few weeks of school so that will be a nice treat when this project resumes.
I will have the new website UP and RUNNING by August 18. My deadline. I will meet it.
This means IF I can budget the time after this trip I will update the comic by.... Tentative date September 1. And I will update, hopefully, 1 page per , month in the comic. And WEEKLY on the portfolio site.
Portfolio IS my priority. November is my deadline for Portfolio. It HAS to be done. I am READY to graduate. My portfolio however is not.
Up to Chops.
Has to be done.
And I WILL do it. |

| Back in Action ... sort of |
[Jun. 8th, 2007|02:59 pm] |
June 8. IT'S JUNE 8 and I haven't posted anything since when????
I am appalled at my utter lack of progress over the last several months.
Bad Barbie Bad
Yeah well now that that's out of the way...
After Grandpa died I really started looking over my life and thinking about past events and people that I've known, loved, been betrayed by, and sadly forgotten. And What did I see? Not much of anything except for the pain, things have been really up and dow in my life and I really don't expect that to change. Depression set in and I threw myself into my school work. What I now do expect to change is the way I handle the bad, I've been doing well for the last 6 months or so, so I want to pick this project back up. It's still running through my head.
As things stand I am once again moving, but this time it's into a house that my fiance is buying so it really should be the last for a VERY long time. I am going into yet another term of school, one of two that I have left. 6 months baby all right. 6 months to redo my protfolio, start and finish my demo reel, and get into the real world.
So what's all this mean. Expect content to resume posting Mid-July. If I don't then I'll just have to abandon this little project and I really don't wish to do that. So I'm gonna get to work. And hope that I can get it together, get it together, get it together... |

After the week I had I'm surprised I uploaded anuthing, How bout you?
Well I still haven't gotten to the pages of the comic because They're transitional pages and I hate transitions. Instead you get a pin-up. Milli and Te' on the worst day of Te's life. He joined with a young women by the name of Quinn and shortly after she died a rather painful death, He felt every moment and could do nothing.
Any surprise I'd post up a funeral image after the week I've had? Really? Go figure...
out and about. |

So as you can see there is no update. I'm sorry but on the night of Oct 6 2006 my grandfather and my uncle died of heartattacks. The funerals are this week. Things to do. no comic. |

| Future update |
[Sep. 30th, 2006|10:12 am] |
As for the update. There WILL be an Update on Oct 2nd, whenever keen is set to update, I think Midnight. It's isn't the next comic page because as I said I can't find it. It is a panel for a future update. YAY!
See I have been working on the story a little :P |

Okay so change again... I'M asking my granmother for help and not sure what's going to happen with school. This means I get to spend all day with her tomarrow including going to a catholic church for mass. I'm not into churches.
Good news is that I passed my finals, while the bad news is I'm not sure if I'm ready for the next classes. They start Monday.
Still haven't found my bridge between chapters. not good.
Also Desktop Computer is being a bitch. It had a virus eariler this month and even though it's been scanned, programs are acting wierd. One program is Internet explorer. It's refussing to load all together even though we reinstalled. This means I'm using netscape and ComicGen HATES netscape. And I'm just finding out with this that My layout is Fucked with Netscape. Oh the problems this raises.
If i haven't mentioned it yet looks like we'll be renting not buying come the new year but that means Steve will probably get to go back to school. Not sure what that will mean for his comic, what with the new heavier workload.
I have a LOT to do today, it's so not getting done.
I'm not a pessimist I'm a realist. This isn't going to get done. |

Still haven't talked to my mother about our money situation but she is going to ask my grandmother for help on my tuition.
Haven't had a chance to look for the story because Steve is dragging me all of the county looking at houses.
Good news for us though is that we've found two houses that we like from the outside in locations that we could live with. One is in out price range that I wouldn't have a problem looking into making the move official. The other is so out of our range that it's going to have to be damn near perfect inside along with us having some serious luck in the coming weeks. The outside is beautiful and exactly like I would want for a long term residence, it would mean cutting back on school hours and getting a job, along with begging for favours from people I never wanted to ask anything from...but well see what the inside looks like.
I'll go now... |
