I was in Las Vegas for the past week. I'm so happy to be home.

Highlights of the Vegas trip:
Saw and met Penn & Teller (very nice guys; Teller spoke to me!).
Played with Microsoft Surface at the iBar in Rio. It was buggy.
Went to an awesome Seven-Eleven.
Ate at a ramen shop.
Survived a walk through the ghetto to said ramen shop.
50's style diner in Stratosphere - our waitress sang old songs.

Other than that, things were overcrowded and way too expensive. Eight-dollar hot dog? C'mon...

We didn't get hit by Ike too bad here, being in Ohio, but gasoline prices have spiked and some people don't have power. There are lots of branches down from trees. I thought it wouldn't affect us at all, so I'm surprised.

Oh yeah, so my hand is all better! I've been back to normal for weeks.

I've been painting a little. I'll post some progress on those soon. It's nothing you guys would like. I'm painting kid Goku now. He's proving to be difficult.

I'm going to Las Vegas next week for a trade show for work... Should be fun. I'm going to rock the Pai Gow Poker tables and win another $35 this year (I'm a high-roller, I know).

Been playing Final Fantasy IV DS. The bosses kick my ass! It's a challenge! I like it! I'm almost at the end. This has always been my favorite Final Fantasy and I'm pleased to say the remake has been great and hasn't soured my favorite.

In November, 2 weeks in Japan. ZOMG.
I really need to start brushing up on my Japanese with Ryan. I'm going to be an embarrassment.

Broke my pinky metacarpal in my right hand (the one under your knuckle bone, makes up part of your palm). Of course, I'm right-handed... I'm on my second up-to-the-elbow cast. This one is red.

I get out of the cast next week and they're putting me into "buddy loops", whatever those are.

I'll be rehabilitating my hand then, making lots of arts!
