asato_muraki at 10:57am on 03/01/2009 under drawings, family, games, holidays, illness, kids, pimping friendsHad friends over for BIL's birthday yesterday. I made a cake, and it was not at all lop-sided. It was quite tasty, too. We played Rock Band for the first time since just before Christmas. I sang Skullcrusher Mountain, and ended up with a 95% rating even though I laughed pretty much all the way through the half-pony, half-monkey monster verse. That song LAYS me.
The coolest bit about having folks over was that W. (BIL's on/off romantic interest) came over, and she ROCKS. She's weird and funny and gorgeous and clever in the best possible ways. Our best buds B and L were there, too, and despite feeling a bit old and fat and sickly, I had a great time. I think BIL had a good time, too, but he's hard to read. I've gotten to where I can tell if he's ecstatic or boiling with rage, but the various stops between the two are still a tad subtle. Those of you who know him know that isn't an exaggeration. He is very hard to read.
But I think he had a good birthday. ;)

I also did a lot of the groundwork for the website I'm trying to build. It's a lot of work to be just for fun, but it will also be a cool place to cross-promote my friends' work/websites, and I'm learning a LOT.

Woke up with the idea of drawing my 20-year-old self being eaten by werewolf, in loving memory of my best friend from high school, Ronnie Ellis. I didn't get word of his funeral in time to show up in a red dress, but I think maybe the drawing would be a way to honor him as well. He made Z-list horror flicks until he was sidelined by cancer of the kidney. Beat the cancer, but the radiation and stuff weakened his heart and he never really recovered. I've never really drawn horror, so it would be a challenge as well as a tip of the hat to his love of spatter-gore (which I never shared, or even understood, really). I'm not sure if I can do it, but I woke up this morning wanting to try.

This being sick thing has played heck with my complexion. It's like being fourteen again.

I've managed to keep up with the dishes, though. The rest of teh house is kind of a mess, but the dishes are clean. They boys are cleaning up after themselves before they go back to school on Tuesday, though.
I am sooo ready for them to go back to school, it isn't even funny.
