This digital age

I'm going to try to make this a weekly thing. It won't be all about work, but I'm there so much. I need one of those vacations where I actually leave town and don't get called in. If only I could go dancing tonight. I have no idea when I will be done with closing. I'll hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Where did the time go?

ARMS...LIKE...NOODLES!

 Once again I've neglected this whole blog thingy. Maybe it's the glut of social media responsibilities or the preoccupation with work issues. Maybe I'm lazy... we'll never know. I was rewarded with a leather jacket for five years of dedication to my job. It fits like a glove, as in it fits as well as a glove would for a jacket. It's simultaneously too large and small.  I know I'm short but I doubt I'm that oddly shaped for a human.

my happy place

 I went through another gaming phase. I swear, every few years I'll play a game or two obsessively and then realize I am completely wasting my time. At least in Minecraft I have something to show for my time, sort of. Portal 2 was as great as I hoped, but it ended. I have many more obnoxious quotes I can recite at the drop of a hat.  Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!

needle felted Space Core: so much stabbing

Dragons!

I treated myself to a new laptop. The old Dell has been dead for months. Now I just need to make some new art for a lid sticker. I started working on this today (using that paper cut-out 60's style that is so popular) and am almost done. It just needs a little polishing.

Survival Island

I'm playing the Survival Island Minecraft challenge by Ashien. I'm a few days in and am in dire need of food. Come on wheat! Grow faster! On the plus side I've nearly surrounded the island with a wall of cacti.

Check out these amusing videos of Simon and Lewis accepting the challenge.

More pictures!

My first piggy to spawn: he yielded no pork.

My lovely garden.

The back yard with its lone flower.

Automatic cactus farm

Still waiting on the underground tree farm.

My fishing dock.

Now that I have found the Curator's lost treasure, I've made some minor edits with glowstone. Also, I now have a scarecrow (sort of) and a lava fountain out back.

Dropped off the Face of the Earth

So, I disappeared again. Actually, I work full time at a major retailer and have had no energy for creativity. So what have I been doing with my precious little free time?

MINECRAFT!!!

Sam and I: yes I made the skins. We're carving out our home in the first server I started

My first attempt at building a dome, I probably should have taken I pic of the finished tower.

An early mob trap: creeper rave!

The house I built on Halloween

Yes, I decorated for x-mas.

My awesome boyfriend gave me a tablet for Christmas, so hopefully I'll start a webcomic or something. In the meantime I doodled this to get used to the feel of the stylus.

Boss Fight

My roommate is a good sport. She wanted me to draw her as a villain, and something about her boobs having a gravitational pull.

Boss Fight 'Melia vs Sam

More Pixels

I've been listening to Scandinavian bitpunk and burning my eyes out with pixel art. Weeeeee!

I have gained the power of CUTE LIGHTNING!

My signature octopus with wings

and of course, Octo-pie!
