On Being Busy

or The Lack of Blogging

Hello people of the internets!
You may have noticed that there was a distinct lack of blog for quite some time. This is a condition I hope to remedy (for a time at least - you never can tell). In the meantime, let me tell you a bit about what I've been doing...

#1. I found a better product for my shop: Using my mad painting skills, enamel paint, and old unwanted cups I have created Major Teacup, the mustached mug, among other things. This has been pretty successful for me, and I've been starting to attend craft fairs and shows and pay taxes (note to self: pay taxes on stuff).

#2. I got a job: It's a minimum wage job (at the time I was very excited about the prospect of money) at a fabric store (don't get me started on the prospect of fabric ;). It's work. I'm looking for better.

#3. A significant other: I met a guy at a Steampunk convention. That was almost a year ago, and he continues to be awesome. He also continues to live in San Francisco while I maintain in Gilroy. I now split the time between the two and am looking for a new car xP

#4. The Monterey Bay ALinkquarium: You will still find me there every other Sunday talking to people about sea creatures and telling them to pet the cucumber.

Those are my main occupations, and outside of them, I basically have no life. Since I work retail, my hours and days are constantly changing. I work on cups and Etsy before or after work, and I spend the rest of my time in SF (where I will also work on cups and Etsy stuff). Getting to the post office is always interesting. We also attend numerous Steampunk events around the bay area - the next one hopefully being the Edwardian ball (there will be pictures to post assuming I ever buy the tickets :P).

I will leave you here with a petition to sign and a cartoon to watch:

It seems that as I have decided to once again join the internet community, our government has decided to censor it XP
