#art -- I drew a couple of pixel cats today

It's always super awkward spending time with Alex's family because on one hand, I like them all and want to get to know them, but on the other hand I want to hide in the basement forever and never interact with anyone ;-;

As a sort of general life update, I'm spending the next week in Georgia with my fiance and her family to celebrate some good 'ol holiday cheer before flying back up to Wisconsin to spend the rest of the month in my home town.

...In all honesty, I'm looking forward to the rest of this week much more than the rest of the month.

Me, attempting to draw curves in pixels: It's like circles in Minecraft, right? How hard could it be??

I acquired Paint Tool Sai and immediately made some cheesy pixel art of myself to practice

Cons:

> Ow legs hurt
> Everyone is exhausted and slowly reaching the end of their rope
> Fast food isn't actually that good
> Taking a bathroom break once an hour sounds like a good deal but 14 bathroom breaks is a LOT
> Car naps are awful and destroy your neck :(

Pros:

> Extended road-trip comradery that only comes from being trapped in a vehicle for a long time
> Slowly watching the batteries drain until everyone is stuck reading or napping
> The napping getting more frequent as it becomes too dark to read
> An excuse to eat at a bunch of fast food restaurants/pray at the altar of capitalism

14 hour car rides are both the worst and best mode of transportation.

Guess who's in Georgia for the next week
