I have a new sketchbook. 100% recycled paper. It's not green, though; it's brown. Cover, pages, everything. It's kinda neat. It feels artsy. And I can draw on the cover.

I haven't yet, though. I'm vaguely intimidated.

Husband and I are selling off a bunch of pen-and-paper roleplaying game books to make some extra cash and lighten the load for when we eventually move.

Just won a new Doc Ock figure off of ebay. When he shows up, I should take a group picture. I've got quite a collection now. This figure is #8 of the ones I've bought, plus there's a mini-doll I sewed myself and a doll I still haven't finished.

It also makes me very happy to see that people out there still draw His Octopussness. Every few days I search on dA, putting in "sort:time" to get the newest stuff, and there've been some great pictures done by the artists here. You can see 'em if you check my faves, or do your own searches. Also, found a real MUSH to roleplay movie-style Ock and been having a good time there. It's small but the players are great. The game's mutant-heavy, but I've found that most Marvel games are; as long as there's a place for non-mutant Marvel characters, I'm happy.

Meanwhile, I snoopydance. *dancie dancie dance*

I just wanted to let everyone know that Captain Video is home and well. He'll be taking medicine for the next couple of weeks and has new food that he'll be eating for the long term, and near the end of that we'll take him back to the vet for a check-up to make sure everything's OK.

My husband's in the middle of writing a more eloquent thank you in his blog (ktread20.livejournal.com), but in short I wanted to thank everyone who donated -- we have his vet bills covered. Also want to thank everyone for their sympathy, well-wishing, prayers and good karma; it meant a lot to us, truly.

Once again, thank you all so much.

Last night our cat, Captain Video, developed a urinary blockage and had to go to the emergency vet's for immediate treatment. (Full details quoted in my RL spouse's LJ at [link]) The short version is that the medical prognosis looks hopeful since we caught it early, but financially this couldn't have come at a worse time for us.

If anyone would like to donate to the cause, we have a Paypal account set up at ktread20@student.scad.edu. You will be paid back -- in January when K's student loan money comes in, at least. Plus, in thanks, I will draw for you -- character portrait or general sketch, whatever you like.

Thanks.
