Star-Crossed

Over the last few days while I've been snowed in, I've become obsessed with my sci fi WIP and started dusting off the old versions and continuing them. (Yes, I know I'm supposed to be finishing the last few five friggin chapter of my nanowrimo novel this month but the muse doesn't listen...and in any case I've pecked out close to 10,000 words since the weekend *APPLAUSE PLEASE* haha)

And so here is some random art for the series. Not covers or anything, just some random stuff. Oh, and I'm leaving out the one that I might have posted once before that was awful and from forever ago because I changed the look of one of the two main characters and so the pic was no longer right.

Without further ado:

I had another one but just as I went to save it, photoshop "unexpectedly quit." :( damn photoshop's lack of autosave! Oh, well...I'll get it redone sometime.

I haz accordion!!

So last week I bought a little 12 bass, 15 (white) key Cellini piano accordion on ebay and it came in on Thursday. It's in great shape, just a tiny bit out of tune on one key and one of the two straps is broken, but it's so much fun to play. I'm already reading up and searching ebay for a full size one to buy in the next few months. I searched all over Athens for books or sheet music but no one carries any for the accordion...guess it's not a very popular instrument. But I did find an online tutorial and I've been watching that and so far learned how to play both hands of my first song (Mary had a Little Lamb :P) just not at the same time. This is the first time I've ever really enjoyed playing music...so much fun!!

I'll post some pictures soon!

ancestry.com

I just got back on ancestry.com today after a several month hiatus to find that they had completely overhauled the whole site and people have added tons of new info. If you have an account, go check it out! If not, there's a free version you should try...a lot of the best parts need a registration but some of the features still work. I found out lots even before I bought my membership.

It's so much fun to find out more about my family history...all the little stories and details--so cool! I love those little green leaf hints!

New year, new skin!

I changed up the look of the blog a bit, what do you think? It just seemed time to try something a little different. The all-white thing was getting kinda boring...besides (as evidenced by my ever-changing hair) I like switching it up!!

A very special thanks to Kimberly Adams (AKA The Best Friend) for taking the awesome ghostie pics you see in the banner. :)
