So it's been about 3 months since my last journal post and I've been a little infrequent. There's a few different things that have been going on. A large part of it is the apartment hunting. My brother and I decided we'd move into an apartment together as with our combined income, with the right place, we'd still have money available to us for groceries and other expenses. Unfortunately, the real estate offices for our first place turned us down because we 'didn't have sufficient income' or some shit. It kind of hit me hard the first day or two afterwards but we're still trying to look for a possible place or two. Another aspect is my new interest in figure collecting, mainly a figure or two that interested me and particularly the TMNT figures produced by NECA in the last few years. I'm also contemplating some kitbashing experiments to make figure versions of TMNT OCs of Mine and  nichan's. So there's that and of course stuff with work. I'll say that work hasn't been too bad...yet but we're getting some other drivers and cooks in and hopefully we'll be OK by this summer. I'm hoping to finish a couple original pieces related to this month soon.
