No. No, I don't have a job now. That's not what I'm hooray-ing about.

But now... now... I do have FLASH, that magical program. I finally got down on my knees, and I was like, "You know, God, I keep trying to save for Flash so I don't have to use a bootleg copy.** But every time I get money set aside for it either 1) my car breaks or 2) I break, and the money I've saved goes for whatever broke. Please help, because it appears that I'm shooting myself in the foot trying to save for this stupid program and if you won't do something no one can." And then, a few days later, I decided to visit some friends at a place I used to intern. And GUESS WHAT. They gave me Flash. I think it's Flash 8. The one before Adobe crashed the party. Hooray! Thanks, God!

** I have a guilty conscience.

So now begins the tedious process of learning Flash. I think after I get the hang of putting the characters together I'm gonna try to film the storyboards I posted a few days ago.

I've also worked on writing out the NK comic some... not going so well. I really, really, think story is critical, and the story is just not coming along nearly so well as I had hoped. I mean, pretty pictures are great and stuff, but what good is a comic book or any other literary work if there is no story? So I guess it will need to be re-written several (hundred) times before anyone else besides me even sees it, but that's part of the journey, huh?

Also, my 4-year-old niece is turning out to be an awesome artist. She has this stylized way of drawing people where their ears and hands and feet are little spirals... it's pretty awesome, and not really a bad idea, either.
