Some of you may have noticed two things:

One-I'm back safe and sound from Vancouver. Had much lols and fun. And now, getting back to normal life.

Two-My pageviews are rapidly approaching the 20,000 mark. HOLY WHAT THE SHIT FUCK BATMAN!

Okay, 20k Kiribans?

20,000 or first copy of such posted to scraps and noted to me geeeets: Mention in my next journal as the winner, a custom fractal or digital drawing done for you! You take your pick. If you want the drawing done, note me on what you want the drawing to be made of. At this point I can do a fairly comics-style picture, but don't expect *too* much. We'll work out the details after I've announced your victory. The custom fractal will work the same way--after you're announced, just let me know any specifics. I can do Grand Julians, and some other types, but I'm not as proficient as say `xero-sama or =silwenka but I'll do what I can. (Psst: go check out their galleries and give 'em love, please. Thanks.)

Second place gets: a custom fractal! And of course, mention in my journal as the second-place winner. See above for how I'll work out the fractal details.

Third place gets: A mention in my journal as well. (Hey it'll bump your pageviews a little...)

So get those PrtScrn buttons and image-capture programs ready! I know there's still a little bit of PVs to go, but I might as well post the notice NOW instead of nearly after the fact.


Anyways, other matters. Summer is still here, full-force. The heatwave that hit when I was away seems to have tapered off slightly. Slightly as in it's still a little too hot to stay outside very long, but not so hot that you're pouring sweat just walking a short ways outside the house. My stepdad installed an awesome A/C vent pipe with a hole near the ceiling to ease the heat issues in the attic. It's worked like a charm. In fact, at night it works too well, and I'm forced to close the vent if I want to avoid getting cold-numbed fingers. Yeah. Go figure.

Other than that, not much else to report. I will probably post a couple of my nebula speedpaints that I've been doing lately. They're not that impressive, but seem a hella lot better than my more extensive nebula paintings of yore. I gotta make a few more, I've only done two. But I'll post them eventually.

Also, I seem to have hit another annoyingly long lull with fractals. Apophysis doesn't even try to draw me into its fold anymore. I guess I'll just wait it out and see what I make in a few weeks.

That's it for now guys. Have fun, enjoy the summer, and don't forget the suntan lotion!
