March was a bit of a rough month. I felt like something negative happened every week, but I still enjoyed the plethora of spring flowers, especially cherry blossoms. I love cherry blossoms. ^ ^
What I did:
1.) I finished editing Red Hood for my betas and celebrated with sushi and Sweet Hut!
2.) Most of this month was preparing for company coming over next month (saving up and making reservations) and working. I got to go to Tennesee for work so that was kinda fun and I also enjoyed a lot of walks and looking at the spring flowers.
3.) I finished Green by Ted Dekker and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling! Reviews up! soon!
4.) I mostly focused on drawing Skua from Red Hood this month. I drew a shoulder-up of him and I’m working on a bigger piece which is taking me a long time. XD
5.) I reviewed A Wrinkle in Time (2018) on Geeks Under Grace and wrote about Supernatural and Fullmetal Alchemist on Geekdom House!
The Geeky Department:
2.) I played through Space Quest. I tried to beat these games a long time ago, but they glitched out to the point I couldn’t ever complete them, but now I’ve found non-glitchy versions! They’re basically a parody of Star Trek and other famous sci-fi including Doctor Who and Castle in the Sky. It’s great. There are so many inside jokes. XD

| Yes, the main character is a janitor. |
3.) I also played through Conquest of the Longbow and Conquest of Camelot, two games that were really ahead of their time.
4.) I’ve got only 101 episodes of Naruto Shippuden to go! Home stretch. XD
5.) I’ve ordered my Lady Bishamonten cosplay along with a wig and purple contacts. So excited for them to get here!
What I’m Going to Do:
1.) I was hoping to do April CampNaNo next month, but if I do I’m entering late. I’m going to be working on Silhouette. I tried to get more progress on it finished this month, but I just couldn’t.
2.) Next month two of my closest friends are coming to visit for a few days and celebrate my 25th birthday with me! Best birthday gift ever!

| We’re going to a cat cafe! So excited! |
3.) I’m hoping to finish Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas and Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card then I’m also hoping to read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling or Queen of Shadows by Sara J. Maas, whichever one I can get a hold of at my library.
4.) I’m going to finish that big Skua piece then I’m not sure what I’m doing next. I’ll go through my list of drawings I want to do. XD
5.) I have a piece going up next month about James Armbsby’s “Being Pretty”!
