Yay me, sticking to something for once

Why is February 8 an important date?

1725: Catherine the Great becomes the Empress of Russia
1924: Gas chamber used for the first time in an American state prison
1926: Walt Disney Studios is formed
1942: Congress advises FDR that Americans of Japanese descent should be locked up en masse so they wouldn't oppose the US war effort
1969: Last edition of Saturday Evening Post, which used to carry Norman Rockwell covers.
1969: First test flight of the Boeing 747 Jumbo jet
1973: Senate names seven members to investigate Watergate scandal
1974: The US spacestation, Skylab, crashes back to Earth, breaking up in the atmosphere

Mmm. important, right? Well, there's one more thing to add to the list:

2008: PrincessPi started her blog, http://misadventuresincrazytown.blogspot.com

And yes, while this may not be a big dead to most people, to me, someone who RARELY, if eve,r, sticks to something like this for more than a week, actually getting to the point where I get to have a blogaversary is a big freaking deal. So stop rolling your eyes and let me feel proud of myself.

Doodle, Updated

I'm just pleased with this one becuase it's the best face I've done entirely without a model. Fabric, too. I know it's not perfect, but still, I'm proud of myself.

Further Mathy Goodness


Honestly, I've not been on speaking terms with Neatorama lately, because clicking on a link from their site downloaded a NASTY virus to my laptop at home, which I still haven't been able to purge, despite my numerous antivirus programs installed there. However, with the addition of this shirt to their online store, they're starting to curry a bit more favor in my opinion...but just a bit.

Where is Where Is Bob? UPDATE

A few days ago, I posted about a blog that I've loved gone missing. I had also emailed the author of the blog, asking where, oh where had she gone? Here is her response which I received this morning:

Thank you! There will be more, I promise!
