I get nervous working up front at the register, I end up feeling more pressure when helping customers. I'm slow and worry about getting their order wrong or making their espresso drinks poorly, but it's getting easier. I spent most of ... http://dragonworld.com/2008/08/27/cut-to-fit I started a new job today at The Bread Workshop. Kimi has been working there since the end of June, I'll be working there on a temporary basis. That works for me, since school will be starting September 4th. Today I was learning the basics of opening and how to use ... http://dragonworld.com/2008/08/22/pastries I got some drawing done today. It felt good to pick up my pen again.

The ... http://dragonworld.com/2008/07/20/two-sketches-cloud-world-and-friend I got a new plastic overlay for my graphics tablet, the last one had gotten quite scratched. The tablet is working better, but that unfortunately didn't entirely fix it. Compared to Kimi's tablet, it just isn't as responsive or sensitive.
