[EDIT]
Good news or bad news first? All right - good news:

We're moved in. Well, our stuff is inside the apartment now... as far as unpacked and sorted, well: HAH.

Bad news:

We're having issues with our internet. I'm actually writing this from work, 'cause something is very wrong with our internet connection (I blame the little punk who hooked up our cable) and I don't know when it'll be fixed, 'cept that it'll be resolved ASAP if I have anything to say about it.

I'm absolutely swamped with stuff at work, so I won't be able to touch my Message Centre until everything is smoothed out.

Just wanted to let you all know that we haven't fallen off the planet. Hopefully we'll see you soon!
[/EDIT]


Haiii.

The chances of me being able to check deviantART after this journal are slim at best, and I just wanted to give you all another heads up.

I have a full days work ahead and then it's going to be all about finishing packing, driving, trucks, heavy lifting, paper- (and cardboard) cuts, blood, tears, sweat, joy, running, playing, setting up, sitting down, shopping, cleaning...

...you get the point.


I got the keys yesterday and electricity was switched this morning, cable guy (ie. INTERNET) is coming Sunday "between 9 and 11".



So, not like I'm not already backed up, but I will be even moreso... so please bear with us (myself and ^oilsoaked) as we sort ourselves out.

^stigmatattoo and ^just-an-artist are quite literally The Men, so you're definitely in good hands.


Just keep 'em in line for us, won't you?

tradART OTS Update
Don't come after me with pitch-forks, please. :<
trad (ART) on the streets is not forgotten. I'm just fantastic at time management and decided to start this up when my life is mostly literally getting upheaved. It will come. and it will come as soon as possible. I'm not even going to bother to give you any sort of date, 'cause apparently everytime I do so, I turn into a liar. :|

- I only take suggestions from the Traditional Art gallery.
- Send it in the form of a note entitled "DD Suggestion" or some other variant.
- It's helpful if you send it using the :thumb######: code, but it isn't necessary.
- Only send your suggestion to one Gallery Director.
- Most likely I will not respond, but I read and consider each and every one.
- Let me know ahead of time if you do not wish to be named as the "suggester".
