Well, I got my wish and ended up with a Nintendo Wii this Christmas!  I still haven't fixed my scanner problem, but I doubt I'd be drawing much more than I already have.  So far, I've probably drawn a total of 6 to 8 pictures and 2 comics.  In any case, the last couple of weeks have been a continuous blur of 6 different Wii games.  Most of my time has been spent trying to beat Zelda, which I've put nearly two days of play time into.  Other than continual Wii playing, I've been spending my time on a neat little text-based MMORPG called Imperian: [link]
If you end up making a character there, let me know.  My character's name is Natreaus (courtesy of a fantasy game name generator... they wouldn't take "Tails," "Miles," or "Nexus...").
Anyway, I just wanted to assure you all that I haven't taken off.  In fact, I've actually been keeping up with everyone's artwork as well, which all looks awesome!  I just haven't bothered to post up a journal entry until I decided to use my new Wii to do so!  Ha!
