A friend of mine emailed me this morning: katsesama.deviantart.com passed away September 7, 2013 of a brain aneurysm. She was far too young for that, and the world is a poorer place now. My deepest condolences to her friends and family.
She was one of those people who made life look easy, hiding all the hard work it took to get where she got. She did everything well: her art, her web sites (Gatch Online), her studies and research. I have to say I envied her in many respects. And to top it off, she was so damn gracious. About everything.
I met her back in 1995, online, and we met face to face at SDCC and attended Dragon*Con together a few y

Comic Con 2012: An Artsy Review
0 min read
I did not expect to attend Comic Con this year. It came as a shock that I got tickets, thanks to a friend in Gatchaman fandom and her husband diligently patrolling the SDCC site. I am thankful for the privilege of being able to attend what is now THE Big Media Event in the United States.
Short summary: I had a good time and enjoyed myself. Had some great parties with good friends. The event wasn't without its downsides too: hellish flight delays due to thunderstorms over Houston, a weird eye infection I seem to have picked up before the trip, and the fact that one of our friends is in the ICU at SD's Kaiser Permanente right now, where he's b

How are you doing? Staying safe? My job said "telework", which is great, but I'm going stir-crazy. I'm taking refuge in fanfiction with The Shadow and my old character Carrick. Because the world needs edgy 1930's heroes who blast the bad guys with a pair of .45s. Caz would approve. 
The Star in the Well - Part 1Prologue
The year is 1935. The mysterious crime-fighter known as The Shadow has been defending the cause of Justice in his own way since 1931. Working from his base in New York City and aided by his many agents, he seeks out the masters of evil the police cannot stop and brings their crimes to an end. Masquerading as wealthy socialite Lamont Cranston, the Shadow moves unseen between the many venues of the city, alert for the traces of true evil.
Visitor and Volumes
“Good evening sir,” said Richards, the butler. He held the door open as the Shadow, in his guise as Lamont Cranston, strode into his New Jersey mansion. Lamont expected to have the sprawling house to himself, but Richards spoke quickly before he could vanish into Cranston’s study.
“You have company, sir; Professor Carrick of Oxford, England.”
“A little late for an unannounced social call, isn’t it?” Cranston
Oh neat! I need to read these.
Well, I had planned to go to Seattle for ECCC, but that was canceled, so I had a staycation. I'm now back at work and trying to get permission to work from home (I'm admin, so not essential), but the company is dragging its heels. I'm not stir crazy so much as terrified of this thing. I have a new kitten to keep me busy (Vinny feels he must be part of everything I'm doing). As for creative stuff, I've been in a slump. I have a sketch of an Amabie (Japanese yokai meant to fight off disease if you draw her picture), and I need to ink and finish. Will post it here when I do.
Off to read!

Wonder if cons could be virtual? We were using Skype at work but big meetings totally hammer it, so now we are using Microsoft Workplace and that does much better. Unfortunately, that's a corporate-level chunk of software, so probably not doable for a fan-function, but you never know.
Kittens are good therapy for almost everything.
Keep after your company, no one needs to get sick right now. Keep your mind occupied if you can. I'll be online in WoW now and again if you want to meet up and slay monsters or chat. I've been enjoying WoW classic so much.
Oh cool, never heard of the Amabie, it sounds like what we need right now. 
As of today, they changed their mind, so today was my first remote work day. I feel relieved, tbh.
After Gabe and Misha died in 2018, I had planned to settle with just two cats. That didn't last long. A year ago this week, Charlie came into the house. Then my neighbor showed up with a kitten that had been thrown from a car. Akemi, sadly, didn't make it, but the kitten I fostered to keep her company did well with my group, then got adopted, so I offered to take in a mom and six kittens. One of those kittens became a "foster fail." Vinny is very entertaining, but he is hard to keep off the keyboard.
