An Exercise in Patience

Did I spell that right? *shrugs* Well it's official: my car is stuck in the parking lot 8| I didn't think there would be anything wrong with leaving it parked for nearly two months--oh wait, yes, I completely disregarded Mother Nature's amusing way of making sure we're paying attention = by freezing the blasted thing to the ground!

Hello, CAA, I require your assistance...am I embarrassed? Jeepers, no! I'm glad I got CAA...although, this is starting to make me wonder, if I should risk a long trip at all! I'd check the tread on the tires to confirm my safety *sigh* If only I knew what I was looking for.

They should arrive in about a half hour; what a darling company. There is no prejudice for the stupid situations we get ourselves into. I'm glad there's no guidelines to "what kind of tow" one requires. Could you imagine living in a world with such services??

Customer: Good day, customer service. I would like to acquire your assistance.
CAA Rep.: Alright, may I please have the location of your vehicle?
Customer: It is currently in my parking space.
CAA Rep.: . . .
Customer: Hello?!
CAA Rep.: (clears throat) Yes, uh -- ma'am -- It is unfortunate that I must deny you our services--
Customer: What?!
CAA Rep.: Uh--affirmative: Our policy does not cover you if your vehicle is safely parked .. at your home location.

This is the part where my head explodes. ...Can a can of mousse freeze and explode in under an hour?? Maybe I should have waited to pack my things. If it explodes, I do hope it does so, before I get onto the highway.

Thirty more minutes, and I will be absolved of my own idiocy!! Although, it's times like this as well, I wonder if I should be going anywhere. What dost thou forecast, O' Great Fibber of Weather....

Since the accident earlier in the year, I've been frightfully nervous to get back behind the wheel. It's always a good to reassert one's self to get back behind the wheel -- even if it takes me twice as long.

I know I am stronger than this. It's time to face this blasted demon and move forward.....with the help of CAA, of course <:-) Have a happy Reading Week, I'm heading home!

Minno - 3 Side View

This little darling's nearly ready for colouring! I'm very excited with how it's going so far.
I've also been meaning to design a tarot deck for some time now; seeing this little dolly makes me want to design one based on the horoscope and tarot elements =3

Meet the future Knight of Pentacles/Discs:

"Minno" - So Far, So Good

Looks great so far, in grayscale. I layered this one up, kind of wonky: I'll fix this in the front and side views.

Little Minotaur Scuba Diver

A little something for my Graphic Design course; I'm going to break out the tablet and finish up this guy tonight. I believe we only need the line work done for tomorrow.

Yes, progress can in fact be this adorable.
