Yesterday was Gwendolyn's first birthday. We had a nice party, and in the evening, our little family dressed as cats and visited her Grandma. Between the party and trick or treating, it seems that she's caught a cold.

Art wise, I haven't been doing too terribly much. I purchased a 6" x 6" sketchbook solely for sketching faces/expressions while on the bus. Its an excellent exercise, as long as the bus isn't too crowded, and then I don't have proper elbow room. I haven't done too terribly much digitally, I'm still adjusting to Windows 7.

With Windows 7, CS4 isn't working as it should. (Adobe, please release a patch. This is just laziness on your part). Painter XI is working as fine as usual, which wouldn't be a problem if I weren't on such a Photoshop kick.

I've also recently began reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman. I'm currently on issue 33, 'A Game of You 2'.

Tekken 6 also came out last week. ~Sci-FiWasabi and I have been playing a lot of that. Its always great when you have someone that you can play against in a fighting game for over and hour and not have to worry about someone getting butthurt that they aren't winning, or someone having to purposefully lose matches.

I haven't actively played Tekken since Tekken 3. I tried Tekken Tag Tournament only to be harshly disappointed and burned away from the series. Luckily, Tekken 6 is a gem. They got rid of a few of my favorite characters (Jun Kazama, Kunimitsu, Tiger), but at least I still have Anna. Zafina is also a riot to play as. I want to love Lili, but I despise the way she plays. Leo is also the prettiest girl in the game.
