First I wanted to announce that I have a Spreadshirt shop now. The selection is a bit limited, but I'm working on more designs to put up, and I'm open to suggestions. Check it out if you're interested, and show some support for your friendly neighborhood starving artist! http://baronhawk.spreadshirt.com/

Second, I became a Baron of Sealand recently. I know I mentioned it to a few people but I don't think I ever mentioned it in a journal. So here you go, peasants, read it and weep: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Lieu.....and_papers.jpg

As far as life goes, I just finished my first year of college. I'm spending the summer at home and currently looking for a job. It's going a bit slow but there are a couple of promising opportunities. Besides work, I plan on spending the next three months working on projects, namely The Vindication of Achaemon, as well as other things I just don't have time, resources or energy to do during school.

Also, I've decided I really want to join the SCA, the Society for Creative Anachronism. If you've never heard of it, it's an international organization dedicated to recreating Medieval times "as they should have been." It's basically like LARP but much more serious and without the fantasy elements. I'm going to attend a meeting of the local Barony next week, so I'm pretty excited! I live smack-dab in the middle of the Kingdom of Calontir, just a hop, skip and a jump away from their big annual event called the Lilies War, which I really hope I can make it to.

I'm going to finish streaming Return to Castle Wolfenstein sooner or later. Just waiting for an evening when I'm home alone and I don't have to worry about the family bugging me.

That's all I can think of for now, but I'll update later if anything else crosses my mind. Until then, Hawk out.
