Personal Digest Saturday: June 3 – June 9

Life news this week: 

• Saturday I ate cheeseballs for breakfast. I cleaned up my apartment and blogged some stuff, and I went to the store and watched some cartoons and drew some pictures. And I got to open some toys I bought. I still don't have a complete set. Waah! Curse these blind bag things!
  
• Sunday was a little gathering at Mom's because my sister was in town. We ate burritos, macaroni and cheese, and corn. I got to see Lindsay and her husband Mike. We had some good chatting. Then I went home and drew pictures and did laundry.
  
• Monday I decided to start rebuilding my website section by section. I started with the art page and began building it on a new secret subdomain. When it's done I'll link my existing pages to it and phase out the old one. It could do with a style update and a content face lift. But I'm still mostly going to keep a lot of the old stuff--just in such a way that it doesn't look like it's recent. Also it was rainy. I practiced ukulele at home after work and drew some pictures of Steven Universe characters.
  
• Tuesday was work, more art page, and more ukulele practice. I finally recorded a ukulele song (I usually do it on Sunday, but I was busy). I ended up falling asleep early.
  
• Wednesday I kept missing the rain every time I had to go out! I'm magic. I worked on the art page, wrote a storyboard, and did some blogging. I met Jeaux and we ate at Flipper's and then went to my place for Night Vale and chilling. I took some pictures of my cartoon merchandise to post on a website.
  
• Thursday I did some document stuff at work, worked on my art page, and got a ride home with Mom! She and I hung out all evening and when she left I talked to Victor and drew webcomics.
  
• Friday I finished reading a terrible book and reviewed it, worked on the art page, ordered pizza with a co-worker, and went home to draw webcomics and play with my toys. I have a cool life.

New reviews of my book:

• Daphne gave it a five-star review on Goodreads.
• Sara gave it a four-star review on Goodreads.

Reading progress:

• Finished this week: Pardon Me, You're Stepping On My Eyeball! by Paul Zindel. One-star review.
• Currently reading: Avatar: The Rift: Volume 1 by Michael Dante DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko.

New singing performances:

This week I performed "Standing Still" by Jewel.

 

New drawings: 

A new Steven Universe character! Her name is Rhodonite.
She's a scaredy-cat but she reminds me of Garnet and she's cute.

 

A new character group picture! These guys are known as the Off Colors.
Their names are Rhodonite, Fluorite, Padparadscha, and the Rutile Twins. :)

Webcomic Negative One Issue 0630: "Grounded."






New videos:

My latest unlisted ukulele video is "One Song Glory" from RENT. I was having trouble remembering what part of the song I was on so I just put the lyrics on my screen outside the frame and that's why I'm looking over there sometimes.




New photos:
