500 points each if you can dodge every commission-driven salesman.

So, this weekend was spent hurtling myself into the holiday shopping season, and there was no bloodshed. No massive riots. I got about half my holiday shopping done, and I'll get the next half when I get paid next. Spent most of yesterday in Mohawk Commons, then spent today running around Albany. A good job, though.

I still want to know why the hell it's so hard to get a 12x18 picture frame. Everywhere I went had every size frame you could think of, except 12x18. GRR.

But with that out of the way, I can turn my attention to what I plan to do tonight: begin making the contest bracket. Still taking character suggestions.

Mad Squirrel Photos is due for an update in the near future, as well as the RP on FW. So is Mad Squirrel Stuff.

Speaking of art and things related, two good friends of mine from down in Ramapo; Jose and Alex, have recently put up a site displaying their respective artworks. I know Jose wants to make a career on it, and both of them would like feedback. I remember seeing some of Jose's work from when I went to high school with him, and I do like a few things--heck, both of them are way more talented than I could ever be at this rate. They're even working on a webcomic. However, check them out: http://www.white-beans.com

Also, the DeviantArt will get an update soon. Oh, and if anyone is looking to play with me in Mario Kart DS sometime, here's my friend code:



All right, I'm off.
