Kidlet...

  • Little Blond started school at her new school and pushed some girls for being too nosy.  She got punished for acting like a bully on her first day of school, and got a talking to about the difference between valuing privacy and being an antisocial asshole.  After thinking about it for a few hours in her room, she got over herself and realized that it was a good lesson to learn.  Little Blond proceeded to have fun writing her first fable while sneakily doing a block printing exercise.  (NOW THAT'S THE KIND OF HOMEWORK I'M TALKING ABOUT!  Useful and devoid of worthless busy work.)
  • Shared her lunch menu with us.  Bio-mom, Loki and I felt envious when we read that she was eating better than we were.  I wish I had the option to eat a meal of brown rice, roast chicken, corn, salad and fruit for school lunch!
  • Made new friends.
  • Left her homework at school, but was able to finish it before class.  She now understands why everything needs to go into the backpack.
  • Beat daddy at Mancala.  This has definitely turned into the ultimate ritual of daddy-daughter board game death-matchery.
  • Rolls her "R"s like a champ, but for some reason insists on rolling her "L"s too during her Spanish lessons.  Feh!
  • Is missed sorely by Nana Vas.  My new agency has been kicking my ass with promo work.
  • Got chased by boys, but was able to outrun them.  Stupid boys.
  • Loves her new teacher team.
  • Chopped lots of wood, and continued putting on moulding around the doors and windows with daddy.
  • Insisted on having her upcoming birthday party at Space Aliens.  It's expensive, but my blondie is worth it.
Art and Lit

  • I created 22 drawings in a single weekend.  Two of these drawings managed to make scatological fetishism look adorable.  (Lucinda and Anna MM, know for a fact that I possess this amazing talent.)
  • I actually entered the G1 Sasha puppet  into a juried art exhibit, with a real artist's statement.  Whether I get into the exhibit is up for grabs, but this is a major accomplishment for me.  Hopefully, I can start getting into a few more exhibits.
  • As I type this, my submission to the latest Lutefisk Sushi bento box is in the process of being printed.
  • I decided to start the new issue of Polska, Sucka! from scratch, because I was stuck.  What's appearing seems like a vast improvement.  I am happy.
  • If you are subscribed to P,S!  You are getting a gifty in the mail very soon to make up for the lack of comic.
  • I want to cry because I have to reinstall all of my 3D content... again!!!  The worst part is that Catnose is past due, and she was supposed to make her 3D debut.  *Head meet desk*
  • In case you didn't notice... I wrote new poetry.
  • The idea of the real Bitch Fu site is gestating and growing.  It shall be soooooo delicious.
  • I need to draw more naked people.  Pretty, ugly, fat, skinny, it doesn't matter. I've been doing 'toons for so long my anatomy has turned to shit.  Anyone interested in letting me drawing them naked and/or otherwise?  I can negotiate trades (Lucinda... that fancy paper is staring at you.)
  • I need to draw more adult matter.
  • I need to flag my questionable LJ posts, so the kiddies can't see them.  I am totally in favor of that new feature!  Thom, should we flag the P,S! community for "Adult Concepts" to keep the kiddies and the real pervs out?
  • I have sucked at blogging.  Sorry.
  • RC and Somewhere in Fargo really have a schedule.  I have been awful about keeping up with Ace and Bog, and SlaveButt.  GRRR!

Work
  • I finally broke down .  I purchased a 500 gig backup drive and a smartphone.  My sanity depended on it.
  • I discovered that standing at a demo for 5 hours kills 1050 calories, thanks to SparkPeople (which categorizes standing under fishing, but it works for me.)  This probably explains why I've remained relatively slender, even though my eating habits went to pot this winter.  Thankfully, I am fixing the latter problem.
  • SparkPeople is my new best friend when it comes to helping me get back into fitness model shape.  If you want to nag me along, go to my profile at my.sparkpeople.com/VASLITTLECROW.
  • I am up too late accomplishing too much.  I am happy.
Gotta go to bed...

not entirely certain how the flagging option works, honestly (been so busy, haven't looked into it). I know you can set LJs for content...

-t.

I think that flagging "Polska" is a good idea :)

I'm loving your parenting updates!! ^_^

Thank you! I am loving parenting... period.

I am thinking of flagging it as "adult concepts" for the regular ones, since most of the Suckaverse comics are PG-13 to R, and bringing the Barxotka updates and more in-dephts stuff from P,S! with post-specific Adults-only flags. Thom approves also!

I'm glad you're doing so well, Vas. I'm enjoying hearing about Little Blonde's adventures, too. :) What a responsibility!!! Wow!!

Thanks! She's a joy and a handful.
