Stuff, loads of it

[secondlina]

So, i'm still sick. I think i'm going to have to spend the week in bed. Sorry folks! I wish I could party. I do. But I have to stay here and look damn sexy in my baggy pajamas. Rrrrrrrr.

Good news today, Namesake is officially a year old. It's not doing quite as well as I would have hoped, but the updates go well, we seem to have a stable readership that goes up a bit every month and I still love doing it. So all and all, generally a success!

Other good news, the "Monster in Paris" soundtrack is available on the North American itunes. You have to type in the French name ("Un Monstre à Paris") to find it, but it's fun and includes the English songs. I can't wait to see this movie. I plan to go with a couple of the girls from the bookstore. :D

In... neutral news, one of my balcony chairs is pregnant. With a family of squirrels. We left the cushions on the chairs for too long, so a group of squirrels decided to dig inside of one to make a nest. We brought the undamaged cushion in and kinda let them have the other one for the winter. It's already ruined anyways. And it's kinda cute. There's babies and they stick their heads out for tiny holes. We'll probably take care of them a bit (remove the snow from the chair and such). It kinda sucks that they did that since the cushion was really comfortable and the chairs matched and they won't anymore if we buy another one... But...heh. Such is life. Sometimes stuff goes well, and other times, a squirrel eats your chairs.

Last and not least, you guys should check out this college humor video ichiban_victory sent me while we were having a discussion about inappropriate female fantasy gear. Aka, nothing to protect those very vital vital organs.

Still working on commissions. I finished this one for snapdragon!




That is all.

Aww. I hope you feel better soon.

Namesake readership will grow. It's too good not to. For now you have a passionate and loyal group of followers and get a lot of comments on every page for a webcomic that's only been around a year and isn't some slapstick/gag comic. I believe in you two.
Congrats on the one year anniversary!

You have me super curious about a Monster in Paris. I'll have to see about finding a way to watch it stateside.

The squirrels sound really cute, although inconvenient.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

So far, the readers are pretty passionate! It gives me hope that this might go far! :D

I think you should check out this movie. Knowing you, i'm sure you'll love it!

If the chair was that comfortable, can you really blame the squirrels for wanting to make it their new home? ;) I just hope they move on once the children are grown and have left the nest.

I'm really hoping they release "Monster in Paris" down here. It looks very charming.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Indeed, with the reasoning, who can blame them!

[alice-and-lain.livejournal.com]

Oh man, congrats on the year! Personally, I think you guys are doing stellar and I always look forward to your updates.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! You're so sweet!

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

I just hope Monster in Paris comes with English subtitles!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Well, you guys actually get a dubbed English version. But i,m sure the Dvd will have French with subtitles.

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

I would probably prefer watching it in French with subtitles.

Aw, please feel better soon!! and hey, nothing wrong with baggy pajama bottoms! They're my favourite form of attire.
And congrats on Namesake's 1 year anniversary! :D

Squirrels are such troublemakers. Always digging up flower bulbs and such. I'm sorry they ruined your cushions! But I bet the baby squirrels are really cute! I would let them stay there too. It's impossible to say no to little baby animals.

Oh, and that college humor video is SOO friggin true. The guys are always fully covered and the ladies are wearing bikinis or corsets with heels. Bah. And then there's always a bunch of macho sandwich comments under the video. I want to beat them all to a pulp >:(

Yes, sexay baggy pajamas. You hot thang you, lol!

But seriously, take care of yourself. You seem to be susceptible to sickness and we wouldn't want you to get any worse. Have that boyfriend of yours pamper you when he can. that's what boyfriends are there for.

And baby squirrels sound so unbelievably adorable!!!

Yeeeeee!!! My picture!!! :DDDDD

congrats to one year of Namesake! Awesomeness!!

I'm actually re-reading the first book of Namesake now. It's quite interesting, I must say.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[elirrina.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize Namesake had already been going for a year! I love that Fred is evolving.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Like a pokémon.

Cutie vampire :) And Aw! baby squirrels! =D Do you plan to get pics? What is it with you guys and squirrels? I swear they are your totem animal! LOL! And YAY! 1 year anniversary for Namesake! Sorry to hear it's not where you expected it to be, but it is good to know you have a stable readership and growing! I'm sure once you guys get trades out there your readership will grow even more :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Squirrels would be like the most nervous totem animal of all time.

We tried to take pictures of them but they are so darn fast!
