Hey everyone, I hope all is well with all of you! Things are looking up and forward a bit more these days on my end. Granted, it's a day-by-day thing, but I'm feeling a bit better after some "much better than before" news today. It takes a load of worry of my plate. Sorry I can't elaborate more! But I do have other things to share.

First off, I updated my "Game Merch" journal (see top of this journal for the title/link). It's filled with games and merch (and even a couple anime things) for sale. I spent hours going through the office, organizing, and completely overhauling that journal, so I hope you'll all read through it! It'd be fantastic to make a little profit for all the trouble. There's a handful of things on the list that really don't have much to do if anything with their title (i.e. "Playlogic"), so rather look at what the actual item is. Any questions? Send me a note or comment! I'm happy to provide further details and photos as per request.

In addition, my work schedule's gotten a bit upheaved, but it's ok because work=money (most of the time!). I have a new game assignment I'll be taking care of for the rest of the week and then I'll be finishing up ~EsaKris's commission early next week (90% certain of this). After that I should hammer out three more and it shouldn't take too long. Then if life goes swell, I'll take a short break to gear up for Halloween and do a personal art piece. I actually did some personal doodles the other night and methinks my next personal artwork will actually be Alice: Madness Returns related. And of course, upcoming collab with the lovely *Lady-Zelda-of-Hyrule. Good stuff!

Our appointment with Skyward Sword has been postponed until next week to allow for the schedule changes. I'm both nervous and excited for all sorts of upcoming things! We should find out the results for at least one of the two contests I've entered later in October, and regardless we've got the Zelda Symphony in London on the 25th. Naturally, there's also Halloween, which is a favorite holiday of mine. Then in early to mid November, Skyward Sword and Sonic Generations release. We've pre-ordered the limited edition for both. I'm nervous because I'm breaking my own rules and working my butt off in hopes it makes both possible! Limited Editions are expensive but a very once in a while thing, and these two are absolutely necessary in my book. Sonic 20th anniversary figures, artbooks, and rings, and gold Zelda wiimotes? Yes please! <3 I can miss out on all the other games I'd love for the rest of the year and be perfectly content if I got those two.

So that's what's up on my end. Busy as usual, but doing alright at the moment, and that's all I could ask for. What are things you guys are looking forward to in October or later in the year?
