i took this special update time to change around the galleries a little bit -- you know, so that they actually went in a chronological order. so now all the galleries thumbnails are arranged from oldest to newest, amen. in lesser news, i got totally bored and made new link buttons for the site. ohoho.

-diana is bored.

yo. this time i actually updated all the galleries. Anthro has 6 new pictures, Human has 6 new pictures, and Crystal Tenshi has 1. go check it out.

i need to revamp the rest of this page. i really don't like this design anymore. i need something fresh. that'll have to wait until after the comic is finished and all that stuff.

oh lord, another update. well, it was recently brought to my attention that people actually read this banter. and actually visit this site. i was unaware. maybe i should get a guestbook or something to that effect. someone should hook me up. email me why don't you. i'd appreciate it. <3

as far as updates are concerned, i deleted some ancient pictures from the Crystal Tenshi gallery and added shiny new ones in its place. i also updated the profile page so i don't sound like such a pretentious asshole. oh, and i put a new picture up there. one where you can actually see my face. because apparently, as i was told, it was desperately needed. go figure.

i'm going to go make myself some pizza now. i'm damned hungry.

it's time once again for update mayhem. well, that's a complete lie. there's absolutely no new content. sorry, guys. but if you want to see new art, check out my deviantart archive. mainly, the reason i'm updating now is because i have BIG news that i've yet to actually announce publicly.

my comic, "Crystal Tenshi", which has been on on-going project between me and Rachel since June of 1999, is going to get published in Otakon's premiere manga magazine collection, Otazine. My good friend Liz's comic is also going to be featured in it, so if any of you are going to be at Otakon, please check it out! it will be from jul 30 to aug 1 held at the Baltimore Convention Center.

contrary to my prior post, i WILL be participating in Artist Alley full-time, selling prints, originals, and the like. commissions are doubtful. basically the same thing as every year, except for one thing: posters! i'm selling promotional posters for Crystal Tenshi this year, i'm so excited!

in other news, i lost my job at the office the other week. but that's okay, because it gives me more time to work on my comic and my sanity is kept in check as well. hi, Faye! consequently, i did manage to squirrel up a lot of money in my time working there. banzai! here's to a fun and happy summer.

holy shit. updates. i added the galleries - there's 3: anthro, human, and crystal tenshi. i added a contact page, the faq, and fixed all the broken links to 'coming soon' pages. except for 'articles', which i'd completely forgotten about until just now. shee-it.

also, jessica made Card Captor Yume have it's own (real) page, complete with design and everything. there's also a ton of new installments in the story, but sadly I haven't formatted them all into html yet. i'm lazy. next update guarantees full content! yay.

in other news, i turned 19 last month and have a full-time job now at my mom's office. i make $8.50 an hour there. i also got my license and car. it's a 1994 red saturn, which used to belong to an old woman. having only 40,000 miles on it, i suspect she only drove it to church and back. and maybe to the grocery store on occasion. anyway, i'm happy with it.

otakon 2004 is looking very promising - the prospect of Pre coming and Lizzie coming makes me real excited for it. this year i'm taking care of reservations for the hotel. and this year, i'm definitely not doing artist alley full-time. i'll still buy a table, but i'm not going to commit myself to it only to be disappointed. the only reason i'm not giving it up entirely is because it'll give me somewhere to go when i'm sick of wandering around the con. and also because i can always make a few extra bucks anyway. Lizzie said she may even share a table with me. w00ty!
