Hey folks.

Some of you may have noticed that I've once again been hibernating, like a bear doped up on Nyquil, despite me promising to be more active. I have a little free time right now, so I'll fill you guys in on what's been up with me as of late.

For the last few months, I was in the process of applying for my scholarship for a Master's Degree in Library Science. I'm actually still working on that, so wish me luck. If I do get through, it'll be a huge step up in my life.

Secondly, I took it upon myself to put myself in charge of October's activities at the library. We had two big holidays coming up, Divali and Halloween, and I was determined to make those a huge hit. And, it was! Catered to over a hundred children (121 in a single sitting), and did things like make Spooky Bookmarks, made our own Halloween themed treats and snacks, painted deyas and watched a marathon of movies such as Hotel Transylvania and Coraline. The crowning achievement was the 'Forest of Folklore', where we redecorated a section of the children's library like a spooky forest, with the folklore characters from Trinidad hiding within. We told spooky stories in full costume, and I was amazed at how the other staff got into character. It was great.


Oh yeah, and a couple months ago, I cosplayed as Steven Universe (Belly Gem and all) and Tree Fu Tom for the kids during National Library week (Google that last dude, because  I'm certain you don't know him!) Ain't that something?


Currently, I am...on vacation in Orlando, typing this at close to midnight.
I won't be back until the 24th, and even then, I still have to organize the Duelist Kingdom Tower of Terror tournament on the 30th. Needless to say, it's going to be pretty quiet on the western front for a while still.

But still alive! Hang tight. Promise more art's coming.

I actually did know Tree Fu Tom. I have little siblings.
