progress
February 8th, 2008
I know I haven’t been around that much lately, and as lame of a blogging cliche as that is, it still holds true. I don’t have a lot of time right now, for a large variety of reasons which I’m not going to go into at this point, but I did want to drop a line quickly to prove that I still breathe in and out… at least to the point that I can operate a keyboard here and there. So here’s a succinct rundown of important events in my life and the Gilgrim family:
- Baby Shower was Awesome
- Day Job is changing… oddly in fact, but moving forward in its own weird ways
- Goliath and I have been reunited - at least as far as he is back where he belongs, on my desk
- Moving to Tustin and leaving Fullerton far behind in about 2 weeks
- Sorting through all of the gifts and duplicates for Salem from the shower and preparing for our son’s arrival
- Finally took some ‘tummy’ pics of the lovely APrilhead and our beautiful child-thing growing in her stomach
- Crunching away at the GN project
- Was given the opportunity for a new project (a flash game)
- Completed a 15 pg comic-guide for Grand Chase in less than 4 days
- The beard is on its way back
- Missing some of my friends
- Legal pronouncements regarding my previous life have been finalized - I’m free!
- Rediscovering my love for horror film once more
- My little Vaio monitor at home is about to die suddenly
- The Cemeterians looks like it will be collected in a full-blown trade
- Planning on painting again, it’s been a year since I last did, which is more than overdue now
- Began a strange relationship with crossword puzzles via APrilhead
- Being very excited about becoming a father within the next 7 or 8 weeks
- Starting to draw again, learning to enjoy it again, slowly
- Cranking the Adicts, the Horrorpops and the Misfits in my earphones at work
- Paying bills, starting bank accounts, and trying to become a proper adult (not the same as grownup) for the sake of being a proper father
- Not moving to Seattle just yet
- Loving APrilhead more and more every single day

Just read through the Grand Chase guide. I am always impressed with the visuals you bring to the table. Glad to see you around.
