In need of more excitement

It looks like our website if finally about to go live. I'm glad because I would rather start working on the animation again. I believe I finally came up with the best way to make all the character keys for the animation. I create layers for the base colors of each key, and then I put them into folders and add layers to my heart's content. The biggest problem making the rabbit was that I didn't label all the layers I made (and I make a good deal of them). So now, once I'm done, I just collapse the contents of each folder and viola! I've got a leg, or ear, etc. ready to be rigged for animation. Another problem I am facing in animating is rigging. I'm very happy to be using Anime Studio Pro, which is the best 2D animation software I've ever used, but using bones to get raster images to deform perfectly is tricky. I may end up cutting the legs up a little so they don't looked so scrunched up when they deform.

I'm always happy to be finished after work but lately, I think I need to find something new to do. I have a book by F. Scott Fitzgerald to read but, I would rather read something else. It may just be time to take a weekend trip to the city to get a better book and buy some music. I need music becuase I didn't have a chance to transfer my collection to my laptop before I left. I'm just glad there is internet radio, though it sounds like there might not be for much longer.

Finally here's a bit of excitement: Yesterday morning I found a scorpion in my yert. Check it out! It was sitting right inside my door, in fact the wood you see in the picture is part of my doorframe. I got it out by picking it up with a stick. It was pretty angry though and started attacking the stick. Luckily, this type of scorpion isn't very poisonous, but I still don't want living in my house.

Here's another picture I took near my house. Though it's less exciting. These two deer live in the woods next to my house so I've seen them a couple times. I think the female is pregnant.
