It's getting hot out. Going for a walk in the sun becomes a slightly less pleasant proposition when it can induce headaches.

I've been feeling generally sexier lately, which is good. I finally got some money from CafePress sales of silly t-shirts and I used about half of it to buy panties. There's just something wonderfully obscene about having a rainbow-reflective line drawing of Felix the Cat spread across your ass. I'm not sure it's sexier than other panties, but they're fun.

I get a lot of appreciative hollers from car windows when I'm walking somewhere. It hasn't gotten old yet. It just makes me feel happy and, you know. Desirable. I'm still getting used to that. Bright pink hair and bare shoulders and maybe a short skirt results in people being very happy to see me drift across their path. I got up this ~~morning~~ afternoon and looked in the bathroom mirror and just liked what I saw, even between the legs. It's really nice to feel at home in my body and feel like other people think it's a nice one.

I will definitely be going to Anthrocon this July, and hanging out around Boston with

postvixen and

postrodent for a week or so afterwards. Bliss! Especial bonus bliss if I can scare up a Mac laptop to load my working environment onto so I can kinda keep up with freelance web-game work while there. Anthrocon is only half the excuse for the visit; the other is that the lavavixen's birthday and mine straddle the 4th of July - she's the 3rd, I'm the 5th.

So yes. Bliss!

Yesterday I fooled around with changing the icons on my system to something prettier but it didn't work out. Back to the system default ones. Little graphic icons don't work against my graphic art as a backdrop. I do this now and then and it never works, against my art, but I don't want heavy-outline icon sets, or whatever. I did, however, finally get around to changing the ugly icons for Illustrator and Photoshop CS to the ones from AI10 and PS7. The old ones can be distinguished from each other; the ones for CS are really hard to tell apart because they're all more interested in carrying the CS brand than the individual program. I've gone to the dock and launched Photoshop when I want Illustrator, or vice-versa, too many times since switching to CS.

I found out there was an update to the image gallery package I use on my website. I suspect I ought to upgrade, as I know there've been some security holes patched between 1.4.4 and now. I also suspect it'll be a pain, as I did a lot of hacking on mine. It's sure to be a couple days of twiddling to learn its new skin system and build a skin for my layout, and some of the other things I've tweaked...

Also, some silly scribbles from recent days.
