Just a note…

   I'm not dead yet, but I am dead tired. Grad school has been taking a much bigger toll on me than I expected. I feel like I've done nothing but run around with my hair on fire since August. Don't work full time and go to school full time, kids.

Krom gets it.

   I've hardly gamed at all since it started. And I've barely painted. I went to the NOVA Open, bought a bunch of minis, and forgot to write all about it. I'm finishing up a current commission and that's been it. And it's been bloody bikers. I've painted so many of those this year. I haven't painted a miniature for myself in months.

   This, of course, hasn't stopped me from collecting more miniatures. Oh, far from it. I made a killing at the Wally's Basement flea market at Historicon. I started collecting Malifaux. My Raging Heroes Toughest Girls of the Galaxy miniatures finally arrived early last month. As did my Stonehaven half-Orcs just before that. And now I'm waiting on Blood Rage to ship at any moment.

   And as of today, I officially have an entire Tyranid army. They're all in boxes and waiting to be unleashed to consume the biomass. About 2600 points worth of them. I bought the last bit of what I need from a friend today. I have even decided on a color scheme. And some day I will put them together. But that day probably isn't soon.

   My finals are this week (yay, quarter system...) so of course I want to do everything but study. Like clean, write this blog post, and make fancy foods. But most of all, I want to hobby. But I can't because I sort of need to pass my corporate taxation class.

   I miss painting for fun and relaxation. I miss writing posts, taking photos, and hearing from all of you lovely people. I just miss the hobby. And it looks like I will keep on missing it for some time, since I don't graduate until June. Well, that's enough procrastinating I suppose.

   Please, do me a favor, would you? Go spend a little time painting, do it for me. You're a dear.
