Computer Status
-My scanner came in first The bed should be able to fit my sketchbooks.

-My monitor came in second. It's still in its box

-My tablet came in third, and it's a good size. I'm glad I got the medium.

-I put in my 50% off Photoshop order.

-I canceled my Alienware Computer. I found I have $175 in Best Buy gift cards and I found a computer built like a gaming computer that was as cheap $840. Getting it for $665 would be sweet!
-I'm waiting on $125 of my Best Buy gift cards to come through the mail before I go pick up the computer.

-As soon as I get my computer, I'll buy a computer desk and set the whole thing up. Should be looking at my new toy running this week.

Artwork In Progress
-I'm still working on Ivelios' Drawing. My galkan friend in my Captain static was able to pose for me the Byakko's Haidate and Denali Bonnet, and the next time I see him, he'll pose for me with his Onimaru and Dusk Gloves. I just need to find someone with Enkidu Feet and his BLM attire (Morrigan and Relic) for the sketching/inking to be complete so I can move to colored pencils.

- has asked to do an Art Trade since he requested some artwork from me long time ago, and I haven't been able to get around to it. I already have a sketch going and working on the gear. I'll get it scanned later when I have my computer set up.

-I also have my 75 PLD in a drawing. You guys like my 75DRG, and I haven't drawn my PLD, I think ever. So with the huge upgrade it got, I sketched and inked most of it already. It will be scanned as a finished inked-only drawing within the week as well.

-I plan on drawing something for 's contest when I get some time to get around to it. I'm looking forward to it.

-By the time I get my computer in, I will probably get started with buying a DA subscription and start creating prices for commissions (since I can't do that easily with a free account). All donations will go towards art supplies and a car. Mine was having problems today, nothing major yet, but I'm worried if I should have spent the money on a car than a computer now.

FFXI Life
-I joined a new endgame shell and tried them out for a week. The shell was falling through, so I left. I went back to my social shell and told them about it. You know what they said? "Serves you right. Welcome back, punk." I laughed.

-I went back to my old Dynamis shell from 3 years ago, found some old faces, and then I got 0 coins for 16k. (We pay part of the hourglass and all singles drop free like crystals.) So now I'm thinking if I should go back to my Dynashell that I was hanging with than staying cuz I'm at least guaranteed a payout but not 100s.

-There was a Salvage group shout Wednesday from a member from an endgame group, so I know they are serious, and was looking for serious players. Their first run is Monday at 11am PST. Rules and everything haven't been set up yet, but I'm at least able to do Salvage finally, yay!

-Everything is going according to my 2009 Goal List. I'm in Salvage and Dynamis, I'm saving up for Relic/Mythic/Ares, I'm becoming Captain hopefully in a month, I will most like be 5/5 Homam before the year is up, and I'm going through Campaign and merit parties, gaining merits. The only thing missing from my goal list is gaining a Swift Belt, and I feel I should get a run going before the summer is over.

In conclusion, I wonder how I can feel so lazy after posting about all this stuff that I've done and need to do. It's gotta be the heat exhausting me.
