Welp, Easter will be upon us soon. We'll be holding a family dinner at my house, meaning I'll probably be super busy on that day. But hey, the holiday also means I get a four-day weekend! And after today, I'll be able to go back to eating meat on Friday!

In regards to my personal life, I haven't been very active lately mostly on account of me being rather ill these past few weeks. If I wasn't working, I was in bed sleeping/writhing in pain from a series of unpleasant headaches and migraines (said headaches also had a nasty tendency to occur on the weekends, presumably to ensure I would have no time at all to really relax and enjoy myself). One of them also brought a nasty head cold with it that actually left me bedridden for four days! I think it might have something to do with the seasons changing; I've noticed that I tend to get nasty headaches whenever that happens, though they often don't last as long as they have recently. Fortunately, the headaches have gotten much less severe in recent weeks (both this weekend's headache and last week's each only lasted a few hours and didn't hurt too much, as I was still able to go about my business and function properly). I'd wager come next weekend, the headaches will finally be gone. Well, at least until summer hits, anyway...

But that doesn't mean I haven't been working on art. I have. Honest, and that's not the only stuff I've been doing - I've been doing sketches at work (granted, most of them aren't worth sharing, but still) and there's two other drawings that I've been trying to motivate myself to color are in the process of being colored and all of that jazz. As I said in my last journal, however, I only have time to work on inking and coloring during the weekend - my job takes a lot out of me and I simply don't have the time or energy to do this stuff on a workday (luckily, a pro to having 10-hour shifts means I get a three day weekend or, consindering how this is Easter weekend, a whopping four, meaning I get more time to work on drawings than just Saturday and Sunday). Hopefully, all of this "weekend-working" will amount to something in the end, but I still won't be able to post any new colored drawings anytime soon, as it's still gonna be awhile before anything is truly finished. If it's any consolation, I'll be sure to upload any new sketches that I like enough to Scraps, so it's not like I won't be posting anything at all.

I admittedly have played very little in regards to video games. Played a bit of Skyrim for awhile which is always nice (just to get some achievements I missed out on with bits of role-playing... man, I love role-playing in that game)... I still think Bethesda can make one more big expansion for that game. The latest patch didn't offer any hints about that, but I just can't help but think they've got something up their sleeves. Besides Fallout 4, I mean (c'mon, we all know that's gonna be their next big game, but that's still a ways away). Maybe we'll finally learn something next month? Recently, I've taken to playing Resident Evil 4 HD, mostly to get the final achievement (beat the game on Professional). I've actually been trying to ration how much I play; beating a chapter every night (or at least part of a chapter, as some chapters are quite long). I'm almost done with the castle and I'll soon be moving onto the island. As much as I enjoyed the classic Resident Evil games, 4 holds a special place in my heart and I still hold it as my favorite game in the series. The past week, I also decided to try out the ACIII expansion The Tyranny of King Washington. It's... okay. The lack of fast travel is terribly inconvenient (made worse by the fact that most roads are frequently travelled by Bluecoats who are only interested in killing you, so here's hoping you like trudging through deep, heavy snow!) and I do wish there was more to do, but I am personally intrigued by the story of Washington and how he came across that magic scepter, as well as how Connor seems horribly confused about what's going on which, knowing this series, suggest something is very much up. I probably won't download episode 2 right away, but maybe in the next week or so.

Oh, I also bought Bioshock Infinite yesterday. I really loved Bioshock, and I even thought Bioshock 2 had some good moments, so I'm really looking forward to playing Infinite. I'll probably start playing it tonight, after I get some more artwork done.

Anyway, the main reason I posting this is just to get rid of that ugly, rambling last entry I posted.
