so... i am being more productive. i'm back to doing some freelance fashion/cosplay commissions, working on a series of colored compositions and a super secret project that i won't mention is about except that it will be the most epic thing i have ever done to date.

anyways, its not as cold this year as it was last year for this time of year... my parents are not hosting thanksgiving dinner this year, which is a first in many many years. we are going to a family friend's (technically distant relatives) home just a half hour drive away. my bro, who has recently moved out will be joining us there. after stuffing ourselves and stealing leftovers, i'll be working on black friday. fortunately for me, i work in an office and most people are on vacation. that means i'll be able to catch up and possibly get ahead in my work with no one to disturb me - its nice to be able to plow through projects one after another and not get stopped every 5 minutes because someone has an unrelated issue they desperately need help with. though i will get off work early so i can go to a friend's b-rated movie day (he chooses to boycott black friday and stays home for food and entertainment). it would be a nice 'break' after all the stress at work because so much has been happening in the last few weeks.

ooh~ i'm also planning on going to japan next year in spring to visit my other brother (stationed in japan again). him and my sister-in-law are having their first kid and so i'm going with my parents to see the new family addition

not much else is going on...
