First off, even though it's late, congrats to Tom and April on their baby (Tom Jr.)! Better late than never.

(Please Note: If you do not care enough to read it all, please scroll down to the tl;dr section at the bottom.)

Secondly, I believe that I have a little explaining to do seeing as I've only released one cartoon since 2009 began. Well, at the end of February I managed to get a job at a local computer help desk for ten bucks an hour. And given the economy I was lucky to get a job anywhere, so I took it. It's only part-time, so Monday-Thursday from 1-5 o'clock. But I also have class from 8-Noon Monday-Thursday as well, so between class and work and homework, since the end of February I've had close to no time to work on any of the projects that I've wanted to, and it's been driving me nuts. Don't get me wrong, learning new skills and new software (such as Maya, AfterEffects, etc...) is great, but I do miss the days when I could spend a good 5 hours on a Flash and just get a big chunk of it done. But man, I really just haven't had the time.

But with the school year drawing to a close fairly soon, I really want to get about 3 (maybe 4 if you're lucky) cartoons done before the end of July. One of which being a Jim related cartoon, the other two being completely new things that I've never tried before (so far they're looking pretty good). I may upload some sort of compilation video to Youtube at the end of the school year to show you all the stuff I've done, but we'll see where that goes.

Tl;dr: I got a job, and that combined with schoolwork has eaten up all my time; but I want to get about 3 new cartoons done by mid-summer.

Thanks for Reading,
-Jimtopia
