Whew, it's been an insane few months. I really enjoyed working on all the costumes for my big family/friends Legend of Korra cosplay group and it's been crazy to see the great response for them, both at A-kon and on the internet (the noises I made when I saw my dad and daughter on Bryan Konietzko's tumblr auuughhhhh) <3

Now, on to the future!

I'm spending the next month in Texas with my family but on the upside that means actual LoK photoshoots (instead of just the quick pics from running around A-kon) so look for those soon

Unfortunately, in the scramble of packing everything for the trip, I completely forgot 99% of my bento supplies (I have the one bento box my daughter and I ate from on the roadtrip but that's it) so bentos are on small hiatus while I restock my basic supplies here. Nothing terribly hard, just the act of actually going out and buying them (and sitting down and doing bentos in someone else's kitchen, which is also weird on all its own).

I'm also thinking of doing some more fandom/food crossover projects but it's in the very beginnings of beginnings of thought in my head so I guess we'll all have to see where it goes O_o

I haven't heard much about Zutara Week this year but I'm down for it if it happens later in the summer, when I'm back home with my guitar and mic and such.

Since Megaupload is no more, I'm starting to move around a lot of my old music things. The 2010 Zutara Week album I had for free download is now available here . I'll update as more things get moved, although I doubt many people will miss anything.

Speaking of music, the RPM Challenge is coming up in a week, so I'll be updating more musical things during the month of February. It's basically NaNoWriMo for musicians, and it's extremely casual and fun and I encourage any and all musical beings to head over there and check it out. There are always plenty of people looking for online collaboration as well, so even if you don't think you can do a whole album by yourself, you could still make some great music

I'll try to keep things balanced with some bento pics during RPM but we'll see how that goes.

...mostly because my new fabulous camera is BROKEN and I'll be calling Canon tomorrow to check about what can/needs to be done to get it repaired. So bento pictures might be hideous, dimly-lit blurs for the next few weeks but I'll try my best.



I'm thinking of doing a kiriban for my 11,000th pageview (mostly because 10,000 just completely snuck by without me noticing) but I have no idea how that would even work for music/bento/random cosplay so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them :/

Wow, I really dislike life getting in the way of my mindless internet wanderings. Also, if my home could stop being on fire that'd be great.

Got a lot of stuff in the works for music + summer. I have a killer stomach bug right now so bentos are on hold until I can eat more than cheerios and water

HOW THE HECK IS EVERYBODY ELSE DOIN? HOW BOUT A FEATURE?

Be one of the first 17 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Featured List in this journal.

For each of the 17 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and links to three deviations from his/her gallery on the list that I find appealing and think best represent your work.

IMPORTANT: If you are featured you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the list in the first place slot, and then completing the list with 17 other people who reply to you. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone.

February is here in a few hours, which is a very busy time of year for me. We have a lot of big projects at work, my daughter has a lot of school things going on, and I also participate in the RPM Challenge (the musical version of NaNoWriMo) so things will be sort of crazy for the next few weeks.

But for those of you who follow my music, GOOD NEWS! I should have two new albums (one for my solo stuff, one for my electronic/indie collab project Clever Things) by the end of February. I'll be posting things as I complete them (or ya know...as I remember to post them) so there should be LOTS of fun stuff coming soon.

To those who follow my bentos, all is not lost! While I probably won't be cranking out any earth-shattering works of edible art, I still have my daughter's lunches and snacks to make (and several bento promises to keep) so you'll still get a few here and there throughout February.

If you don't follow my music or my bentos...well, I'm very confused how you came across my journal but HI THERE!




Also, there is a wicked winter storm rolling in tonight. Yes, I realize that the northern parts have already gotten the crud kicked out of them this winter, but it's still very new and scary for us southern folks O_o

Go see this movie. Right now. So wonderful! My husband and I haven't enjoyed a movie this much since Beauty and the Beast and we absolutely adored that one so that says a lot!

Such great music. Such great characters. AUUGHHHHH I just want to see it again right now.

Had the music stuck in my head all day so I did a quick acoustic version of Rapunzel's healing incantation and still can't seem to get enough.

I had actually tried to write a Zutara Disney-esque love song for Zutara Week "alternate universe" prompt but it didn't work out because I felt sort of lost about the whole thing. This movie makes me want to write oodles and oodles of it
