I ditched school today and cleaned my room instead.
I only had art and tennis, and I didn't have the materials we needed for art due to a broken wallet so I decided to sleep in rather then sit in a cold ass room and watch everyone else be productive.
But, when I say I "cleaned" my room, I actually mean that I overhauled it. I took everything out of the closet, condensed everything into labeled, neatly stacked boxes and broke down & recycled the old boxes. Then I did all the laundry, made the bed, and went crazy...
I ended up taking everything out of the room... everything... washing the walls and vacuming in all the spots that never get cleaned before re-arranging all the furniture.
Yes... that means Zy's desk too.
Yes... I touched Zyphres' precious computer. Actually, I disconnected his computer, laid everything out gently on the bed, and then put it back together after the desk was moved.
I was very... very... very careful... I don't want to die.
For that reason, I'm not going to tell him that I moved it. He'll find out when he gets home, and hopefully I'll have put everything back together correctly and he'll be too happy about the clean and the nice and the feng shui to be angry that I touched his computer.
We'll just have to see.

Cheesy Cheese!
A happy first today!
I work at an airport, and today I saw one of my dear, local friends at the arrival gate, getting off a plane. I called out his first name and he came over, we hugged, chatted, and agreed to see eachother around.
I told him I had almost screamed "CHEESE!", which is his nickname, but the airport is at code Orange and with my luck, they would have thought it was some weird code word and tackled us both.
Lol! XD

They call it "Con-Plague" for a reason...
One of my favorite web comic artists has been saying on his update blog for nearly two weeks that he was suffering from Con-Plague. In his post today, he said that although he felt that the virus was on it's last legs, he would still be attending yet another con today, but asked in advance that people forgive him for not shaking any hands, as he doesn't want to spread it.
I love this artist dearly, seriously one of my favorites, but it seems to me... logically... that this very sort of thing is what keeps "Con-Plague" rampent: "Mer... I'm sick, because I went to a crowded hotel full of hundreds/thousands of people, and this is actually so EXPECTED that we've got a name for it... yet I'm going to go into yet ANOTHER hotel full of several hundred OTHER people knowing that I have this plague... Oh... hey... maybe that's why I got in in the first place."
Seriously... if you're sick, stay the hell home. Yeah, I know you've been looking forward too it all year... yes, I know you spent lots of money on going and plan to make up the expenses in art sales.... but honestly, how much money are you going to make if you're far too sick to run your booth properly, and then you're out of commission for two weeks after trying to make your stomach contents into toilet bowl lining?
And how is that fair to the other people you infected, who are now also out of working health for who knows how long?
Con-Plague is a created thing; people need to stop treating it like some sucky thing that mysteriously and "unavoidably" just happens. Maybe if everyone took some responsibility, and considered the health of others over their immediate recreational satisfaction, it wouldn't be such a huge epidemic.
Zy almost never gets sick, but I had to nurse him in one of the worse fevers, aches, and puking fits I'd ever seen in the poor boy after his trip to FurCon07. He was completely nonfunctional and miserable for nearly 15 days.
Yeah, I know people will get sick, no matter what, and lots can carry but not show symptoms, but no one can deny that people going knowing they are sick makes it so much worse. Take schools, for instance. If you're sick now a days, the teachers won't LET you stay: they MAKE you go home now. Why? Because if you're allowed to stay in class when you're sick, it will spread, and then become a cycle, and going to school will inevitably mean you're going to get sick as often as it takes the virus to evolve past your current immunities.
Wait... what was that? That sort of thing is mostly preventable? Huh... imagine that!

Random Thought for the Day
I think if I ever start my own business, I shall call it "EBL" which will stand for "Entorf Business League" or something of that sort, and is funny because:
EBL = Evil, in immature online silly speak.

I'm feeling better about my art skills
My good friend, Randen, was one of my main RPG group members way back in 1998.
His old profile picture was drawn by Zeil. The original is posted at the bottom of this post, under a link, but I decided to take a stab at improving it some, seeing as how we were all a bunch of high school freshmen back then. I think it turned out well!
I tried to stick as close to the original as possible, so that it would be easily recognized. I sketched it, then scanned that, and did the line art and coloring with Zy's WIACOM, in Photoshop.
