[Aaaaaah... Weak sauce]
So my ipod was stolen on Saturday. I had taken it to work, and stuck it in my purse when I came home. After accidentally leaving it in my mom's car overnight, someone came, busted in the window, and stole my purse.
I should be grateful, since my ipod was the only thing in the purse as opposed to my wallet/phone/sketchbook/markers/house keys/things that are normally in my purse, but I don't feel any better about it =/
The "good" news is that I still had the serial number to the ipod on hand, since I never throw anything away. Apple can track the ipod when it's plugged into the system, so if they sell the ipod and someone tries to register it, Apple will know it's stolen.
The other good news is that my ipod wasn't the only thing stolen that night. They stole another ipod from across the street, and a laptop from the bottom of the hill. Turns out that laptop is property of Boeing, and not only is stealing it a federal offense, but it also has a tracking device on it :3
I probably won't get my ipod back, but homeowners insurance is supposedly going to cover it's value. I'll have to buy a new one (a bigger, better one?), and I'll be music-less for awhile... But I guess it could have been a lot worse.
Mom's car is in the shop today, getting the window fixed and replacing the transmission. We'll be car-less for at least another day.
[The hardest part is how quiet it is]
I have all my music on my laptop, but it's a pain to carry that around everywhere D: I have it sitting on the table, playing music now, but I'll have to lug it into whatever room I go into.
My stereo is busted, so I can't even listen to CDs. Which blows.
[On to other things]
I've read two books and posted reviews for them (which you can find below in the "Neko Book Reviews" section. That's four books I've read now. I still have nine more in my possession that I want to read. Obviously I'm making good time.
Done some arting here and there, but nothing to show for it atm. Maybe later this week I will. I feel rather uninspired without my ipod lol. I guess music has been my crutch, and now I have to stand by myself. It's weird, and oddly unsettling, but I think I'll survive.
Today is my mother's birthday. I'm going to be making her a card after I finish posting this.
I've fallen in love with Coldplay's new song "Violet Hill". I've always loved Coldplay, but this song is just... it's so great. I've listened to it like 20 times since I've gotten up.
=Nanuka just posted my commission

I always love her work X3 She did such a great job on those! It totally made my day to see that.
[Went shopping with Ziggy yesterday]
I was fun. We got my mom's gift (a nintendo DS lol) and then came home and watched Muppet Treasure Island while I worked on some art.
My dad felt the need to tell me the piece I was working on was one of my best, though I don't think he can judge since he never looks at my art. I am pretty happy with it, but it's definately not my best. I guess you'll see when I post it... whenever that will be.
Anyway, I best be getting onto that card. I have to have it done before she comes home from work!
Later days.
