It is now not cold, so this is now not appropriate.

Belated holiday greetings~ In the end, I got Kurt some Minecraft block magnets and filled his mini-fridge with Heineken, and JuYoun is now the proud owner of a Sheldon-approved Soft Kitty pillow. Go ahead and sing it. You know you want to. =^-_-^=

Boxes in my cube

Cause me a great deal of stress

But keep people out.

Related to hair and pens, I must say that learning how to fix my hair in a bun using only a pen or pencil is one of the greatest discoveries of all time.

We were so afraid it was an inadvertent coincidence, and that after a lifetime of schoolyard teasing, any mention of the great Captain Picard would make Jean-Luc hate us all... Luckily he's a Trekkie like the rest of us ^^ I can only hope my own future children will be as good humored about their inevitable geek names...

No, really, being an intern is a lot more exciting than doing a lot of random organizational nonsense. Really.

Despite TCAF's "no costume" rule, many of us nerds donned Homestuck T-shirts and spent many hours in line hoping for a face-to-face with Andrew Hussie. I was one of the weak ones whose pained feet forced me to abandon hope and my place in line. But! It was a super-fun time (not to mention the event is free), so if you're in Toronto next May, you really ought to stop in and see some of your favorite artists in person! Or in some cases, from a short distance... ^^;;

I think every company should invest in a conference table that converts into a pool table.

january 2012

Hearing other people's headphones is seriously like some kind of Chinese water torture for me. One of these days I'm going to have a panic attack right there on the train.
On a happier note! Already 2012 is a year of good books! I can't waaaait for the next volume of Slam Dunk!! ^^

Happy holidays, all!

Wendy has asked me to clarify that, for the record, the second strip has never ever happened. She stands in staunch opposition to my general leaning toward the cop-out option. Even the delicious Orchard Chicken Salad could not sway her. :(

And we're back to our regularly-scheduled comic for the September issue...
Once again, I'm not really sure it's clear what's going on without background knowledge, but i had fun drawing the little toys. You can find the Unicornos here~

Hard to believe it's been three years since Yen Plus began. That makes this the 36th edition of Shrimp Art...
I'm regretting not toning this little drawing, which features at least one character from each of the regular Yen Plus titles. (We'll pretend they're reading Highschool of the Dead on the laptop...)
While this blog hasn't been up for three years, it does contain three years' worth of material, so my thanks go out to you as well for reading my commentary. ^_^

Back in ninth grade, we had this teacher who used to put little stickers on our papers if we got a perfect score. When that first test came back with a little smiley seal on it, we all chuckled a little. "What are we, elementary schoolers?" But after a while, we got kind of competitive about the stickers. We'd save them on our binders and compare who got the most, and if you didn't get full marks when there was a really cool one, you might actually get a little bummed... So while I don't expect a standing ovation for every task completed, I think a little sticker might go a long way motivation-wise...

I like nicknames because in a lot of cases, only one person calls me by a particular nickname... Makes me feel kind of happy to have a name especially from them... *^u^*

Ah, Natsume Ono. At first I honestly was not a huge fan of her artwork, but in House of Five Leaves her style marries perfectly with the setting, and I finally GOT IT. If you want a really great read, you should check it out! If you want a really depressing great read with no series commitment, you should look for Not Simple!
I was really sad when my friend wasn't happy for me when I won the raffle T_T
But I was really happy when Ono-sensei drew me a picture of Masa from Five Leaves!
I got a poster of the characters from Gente and a copy of her new book, La Quinta Camera:

may 2011 (the lost chapter)

I'm very proud of that bonsai pot.

This colorful edition of Shrimp Art did not appear in Yen Plus.
Does that mean...this could be considered...exclusive web-only content?! O.O
Hope you enjoy~
