I am a crappy modeler

Strike Valkyrie
Hasegawa makes some really nice models. The quality of the molds are excellent and the scribing is really good. I want you to know this.

I have (had?) a beautiful, 1/72 scale plastic model of the VF-1A Super Valkyrie featured in Macross: Do You Remember Love that I bought when I was still living in San Francisco.

Site Updated. Again.

So instead of just grabbing a template and being done with it, (or mangling someone else’s template) I decided to just redo the site anyway. I have a little borrowed PHP, but all the CSS and the images are mine. Go me. Woo. (lackluster dancing)

Of course, I set off to get my site back up and running by the end of January, and it’s now mid-March and it’s still not fully live, so I’m not sure if I should really be patting myself on the back.

I’ll consult the checklist. Learned more about PHP? Check. Figured out how to do some neat tricks in CSS? Check. Improved as an artist and/or embraced fame and fortune?

Well, crap.

I may have put my eggs in the wrong basket. And this isn’t even a metaphor; in addition to not fostering my skills as an artist, I have apparently also lost my damn eggs.
