My goodness.

I'd like to say a lot has happened, because I'd always like to say that.  But, in truth, I've been rather quiet because I've simply lacked anything of merit to say.  I haven't been drawing or writing too much.  I've been knitting, but we already knew that.

It's mostly been working and sleeping.  And video games.

On the illness front, last time I checked in, I was suffering from the condition called Costochondritis, which was inflammation of my inner chest wall due to trauma from coughing.  I am happy to report that it has FINALLY gone away, though I wish I could say it wasn't only a few weeks ago.  In truth, it look a very long time to go away.  In between then and now, I also had a potentially bad infection in my foot that kept me from walking for a few days, and I've recently caught ANOTHER cold.  2013 is going to be the year of illness for me.  I am hoping that after 25 years of relative healthiness, I must sacrifice one year of sickness for another healthy 25 years.  This is the only answer I accept.

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday in April!  It means a lot to me to have friends like you guys.  My birthday was quiet and uneventful.  My brother and I stayed in our PJs all day and watched cartoons.  It was nice, if a little simple (not too different than what we do every day).

I have recently finished another character retrospective for Raiko in coordination with her recently posted reference: .  You can read about her journey as a character and as a concept here.

That's pretty much everything.  Hope everyone is having a good year, and that you're all ready for summer (or winter, depending on where you live).  Later days!
