I am currently working on the first designs for my next short comic which will be published in the next issue of Jazam #4 "Monsters". I suppose there will be about 8-10 pages of scantily clad (if clothed at all) monster action with even more monster detailed drawings and hopefully chances for some monstrous laughs. Deadline is end of March and I take this as another step to get little things done.

Except for that - I totally ruined the actual semestre at university. I finished none of four classes, missing all the credit points which I will have to acquire later in the upcoming ones. It bothers me a bit, but regarding the simple fact that I feel like I DID my best (which may not be very much) gives me a strange tranquility of not caring.

Why did I do my best? First of all, last semestre just started when I was about to move out of the shared flat with my ex. Second, in Semptember I got a new job at a software company which produces business software and I am back to the thing I started in '98 - basically lots of webdesign and html/css-hacking. And I'm good at it. Problem is that I channel a good bit of my creative energy into work because I like my stuff to be top-notch. That behaviour leaves less energy for other areas, university i.e.. The good thing: My job pays all my bills and I do not have to rely on the governmental loan for students (Bafög) anymore.

But the really greatest advance of them all: Due to intense flirting and humping around the last six months I met a very beautiful woman who not only stole my heart but also let me steal hers. Let's see how the love story continues. I'm still a bit afraid because the hunter inside me is still rattling his cage to get out which could be a threat to our relationship but... the girl's beautiful... tender, bitchy, caring, tolerant, frivolous, sharing and so full of love that I'm really wondering if I finally found my match.

Sometimes you suddenly excel at things just because you meet the right people.
