My ears are ringing

Just got home from lion dancing all day.  Lots of drumming, firecrackers, what have you.  I don't understand why people light those long firecrackers inside the store (besides being illegal and ear-splitting, the smoke gets into your lungs and eyes).  Outside, understandable.  Inside a crowded Chinatown plaza shop thing...not so much.

Anyways, just a quick (and short update) as to what I've been up to.  Working, working, and lion dancing, with some drawing thrown in there somewhere.

...And here's Batman.  ...He's always watching you.

Happy New Year everyone!

I'm such an inconsistent blogger.  I'll make an attempt to blog more often.  To update on my last post a month ago, my house just had no power for about 2 days.  Other than that, it's completely fine.

I had a very relaxing and food-filled Christmas and New Year's, and I even made some New Year's resolutions!    It's tucked away nicely into my planner (which I look at very often) so hopefully I'll be able to go through it all (one of which is to blog more often)!

I recently got another part-time job tutoring middle school kids, which actually takes up a lot more time than I initially thought.  It's takes a lot of time to come up with lessons plans and worksheets and activities for each kid!  Each kid is struggling with different aspects of language arts, so it's a bit like making 6 different lessons plans (I have 6 kids).  It's pretty fun though, and they're all sweet kids (thankfully).  

These next few months will be very busy for me, so I hope I can get through everything in one piece.  Finishing everything I set out to do would be a very very nice bonus though.  

I haven't sketched anything in my sketchbook this month yet, so here's something from December:
