sunday sunday sunday!
i was sick for most of the past two days, so i haven't really done much. now that i'm feeling more or less back to normal, i've been doing some website housekeeping, and working on some creative endeavors for friends. i also need to get to steppin on this zine, but i will toil with that soon. i will. I WILL!!!

the date of the tmbg roadtrip grows ever closer. i'm practically vibrating with excitement. i need to make sure i get a good battery pack and extra cord for use at the shows, as well as finish clearing out my phone data for optimal picture saving... and then transferring to other to places so i never lose em. AAAFFGGGHHHH i'm so excited!!!! Oh my gosh oh my gosh i can't believe it!! I'm excited to see them play as much as I'm excited to meet friends ahahaaaa i can't believe it'll be so soon now...bleaaaaugh!!!!!!

i don't really have much else to talk about right now, i'm back into work on tuesday, finally got a new therapist...see her on monday..nervous.
but that's about it for now! talk to ya laterrr! 

 i type this from my bed on my laptop, laying on my little belly and heaving a great big sigh. what a week-- past few weeks it has been.

i'll be home for a few days because i was quite sick, which sucks because i do need to money from work but also i'm just so beaten down and exhausted, i'm grateful for the time to just lay.

as i type this i'm waiting to see about changing the domain name for my flansburgh fanpage...the flanspage if you will, and hoping i don't blow anything up too bad, but if i do i do have a backup of all the files. i also think it's about time to update the homepage and also use my own files for it instead of another fan's really cute graphics, though i think i will keep the monsterhearse up and just link back to them anyway... i'll have to think about what i'll actually want as the front page of the site.

perhaps a spoof of that one picture of flans and linnell painting for a magazine spread? a 2 frame gif of him working on his laptop? playing his guitar? slamming The Stick?...So many choices...perhaps I could change them every few months or so, like a little quarterly treat or something. we'll see about that.

still working on a gallery solution of course, maybe I won't end up adding one at all or going with a simple html or javascript one to feature a few photographs that i really love and then add a section for my own once i'm able to take some...oh my gosh just a few months away at this point aaahg...exciting exciting. look forward to coverage on that, by the way. my mini roadtrip to go see tmbg in tn and then back home here in ga. i will take you along for the ride.

i now have a blorbo account, for posting about tmbg of course.. but aside from that i don't have much going on aside from work...all i really do is work work work, and while it's better and pays a lot better than my previous job, i really do not do much else but that! i did join a book club that starts in january, i really hope i don't end up too tired for it, gah. i'm going to really try and go, it's held at a bookstore in town that only sells romance books! what a dream... 

what else what else...i really need to get my thumb on my finances, pay down some debts, stop fudging about with money and start saving for the future! also really grateful i'll have HEALTH INSURANCE next month, as I had to pay $250 dollars at the urgent care today, and then another $45 for an inhaler because I have damn bronchitis!

Ahh..such is life, always so exciting I guess. i'm feeling alright now for the most part, more tired than anything else, so i'm really just going to try to take it as easy as possible for the next few days and see how it goes when i go back for the 11th. hopefully well!

 Off today, so I’m taking the time to enjoy lazing in bed before I go try to wash my hair. What have I been up to these past few months…quite a bit but also not a lot at the same time… 

The biggest thing is probably my rekindling of love for the group TMBG which hit me like a truck a few months ago…I’m unsure what really was the devastating blow that threw me headlong into the level of obsession I’m at now, but I’m very thankful to dear Ozzy for making me realize how much I still enjoyed them even though I have a bit of a sad past with them/ memories of past relationships and things…hmm…

I have taken to running a fanpage, and am currently working on a zine with art that I’ve done relating to the band..I’ll post about it more as it gets closer to being finished, it will be free once it’s all done!

Eastern tour dates got announced today, only one night in GA!!! Boohoohoo…I’m just going to have to drive to TN I suppose! I’ve just gotta see em more than once, once just won’t be enough!

Reminding myself here that I need to get up and do Dial A Song for the day, part of me wonders how many songs there are before it starts to repeat, as I’ve been working on making an archive of the songs and recordings of their compressed forms. It’s a lot of fun! It also gives me something I “have to do” everyday…on the off chance I forget though…ehehe…oops…

long time no see. it has been a long, hard past few months! has it been months…i don’t know. but i’m still here, through it all…i’ll sit down and write something more substantial on my next day off, but my job has been working me like a draft horse!

i hope you’ve all been well, looking forward to posting here a little more frequently again! 

 long time no see! i'm back again to talk about what i've been up to.
what have i been up to then? mostly working and catching colds! bleugh. i've gotten so sick since my birthday... but I think i'm finally back on the mend again...
i'm set to hit up richmond va in a few weeks to see beetlejuice again, and then the aquabats in july! super excited.

i've recently gotten into the amazing digital circus, and i've drawn a little...

( suggestive artwork warning! ( Caine, Kinger ) )
can you tell who my favorites are... Anyway! I have a few longer posts planned, as there are some things I want to blather about at length...but i highly recommend following my tumblr for more status updatey posts and sketches! 

I hope you enjoy this short little blurb, more to come and know that I missed you lot a ton! I read your posts whenever I can even if I'm not able to comment! <3

 I meant to update ages ago and I Still Will, I promise!!! I’ve just been soooo wildly busy with work these past couple weeks!!

Shockingly enough, it is my hatchday today. I hatched from my egg 26 years ago today!! I’m actually currently at work as I type this, and I plan to spend my birthday once I’m back home tonight in bed, with a Coke, a red velvet cupcake, and as many Jack Black films as I’d like to watch before I pass out. Luckily I’m off tomorrow!!

Maybe I’ll take the time to write up a larger all around post tomorrow since I’ll finally have the time… Til then!

 I didn’t do much on my day off yesterday… aside from watch the two “slime tutorials” i’d gotten my hands on for BJTM…A really wonderfully shot right mezz angle one, and one featuring Jackera Davis as Lydia!!!!! I need to finish the Jackera one, as I was up way too late last night and needed to stop fooling around so I could sleep— I work today after all… but from what I did see, she makes an amazing Lydia, and her onstage chemistry with Justin is SO fun. They both definitely seem to be having a great time.

UPDATE: It's FRIDAY NOW... I FORGOT TO COME BACK AND FINISH IT....God I've been busy lately, between getting ready for the show, working on commissions, and just WORKING...god I'm ready to take a nap. I've been alright as always, hopefully looking for a new job soon enough...I do like where I work, but I really don't agree with how management handles things, and the way they treat us as employees is very cold. They made a comment regarding to one of the few times I had to call out, and I've been a little soured about working here ever since...ah well...

The good news is that I got accepted into a SQL Training program, so I'm hopeful that will give me some good stuff to build on...

other than that, there's not much for me to talk about currently...i'm really sleepy I can't wait to get home from work tonight...

talk more soon!

she's back at it again...talking about the damn musical... BUT WE'RE A MERE 13 DAYS AWAY NOW!!! Can you believe it...I can't...
Anyway. I finally finished the piece I had been working on for Justin, had it printed...now it's just a matter of seeing if I can get it to him! No problem if not, I know I can send it digitally to the tour management company or something... I think they put them in a scrapbook or something? How cute! The hardest part so far has been not posting the damn thing early, but then the longer I hang onto it and look over it again and again...I keep finding stuff WRONG WITH IT. Every time I sit down and actually finish something for once I keep finding issues with it! Just let me enjoy my little drawing I worked so hard on it please...

As I've been mulling about online jumping between tags, I always notice there is such a distinct lack of talk of Justin! I literally think I brought this up a few days ago but it crushes me!! Tears me apart!! He is darling and I wish more people spoke of him...an image i posted to my mastodon yesterday...

 I know most of you have seen me blabbing at length about the Beetlejuice musical, namely the version of it that's currently on tour for some time now- but I don't think I've really spoken at length about it much? Not so far at least. I of course adored the show when it was still on Broadway, and I lovvvve Alex Brightman's version of the character, but I have gained such an immense fondness of Collette's version of the character-- that I simply must yell about it!! I have to!! Mostly because it's so rare that I see discussions of him online much...maybe I'm looking in the wrong places? Who knows! Regardless...Let me flap my gums about him a bit because he is so dear to me.

I first became aware of him through his time in School of Rock of course, he made a very cute Dewey Finn, and I loved the energy he brought to the show...he is always so chaotic. Which is what I love about him in the tour version of Beetlejuice! I remember the first time I came across a clip of him in it...Namely yelling at Adam Maitland's crotch during the little meltdown scene after "Fright of Their Lives". That's when I realized: Oh this guy just kinda takes the character and runs with it. From reports of him apparently bursting out into barking and snarling, to completely changing lines in songs...such an improv king is surely after my heart because WHAT??? HUH???

From different reports from shows and videos I've seen he really does seem to do as he pleases to try to get a laugh out of the audience, and it comes across as so charming I just adore seeing him onstage. It helps that he always looks like he's having a ton of fun, and I truly hope he is! I hope the tour stays on for as long as it can, as I really want to see him onstage as The Juice for as long as possible! I see the show in a couple weeks, and I'm really hoping I'll get to talk to him for a moment if he decides to stage door, just to let him know how much I've really enjoyed seeing him onstage as BJ, and how much I'm looking forward to following the rest of his tenancy in the show! I also want to...maybe...give him a drawing that I'd done for him but...We'll see if I'm even gutsy enough to do that.

Anyway that's all from me for now.

I'm Cyrano, and this is my journal! I tend to ramble a lot at length, but here are some things you'll probably see here.

• Chatter about my general life and job.
• Ramblings about whatever media I happen to be into at the moment.
• Posting art...talking about art...

I am an artist and I do draw quite often, most of which can be found on my personal mastodon which you can ask for!

Please be warned that a lot of my art is suggestive in nature, and some of the tropes I enjoy may be upsetting to others. Please keep any content warnings in mind when viewing my content!

This of course applies to this journal as well, as I am an adult-- and enjoy things designated for adults.

I'm pretty lax with granting access and subscribing, but don't feel obligated to follow back! I just like reading up on what people are up to!
