The Making of Dreamland Page 17…
Hi all…
Had a wonderful time this weekend at the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention.
My first Anime Convention and WOW was it weird….ha ha.
But also…the people were great and very supportive.
We sold out of pretty much everything.
So I’m definitely interested in doing a couple more Anime Conventions in the future.
Also…
My lovely cousins Gary and Judy are moving away from Chappaqua, NY.
Chappaqua is about 40 minutes from NY City. It has one of the top 10 schools in the nation.
Why am I telling you this?
Because they have their house for sale….and need to sell it.
So if you’re in the market…or know someone who IS…
Please pass this link along.

I know it’s a long shot…but it’s family…and we love ’em.
Plus we love their home and have fond memories of staying there.
Update on things:
We started a new anti-inflammatory pill on Friday and it’s making life SO much better.
For the first time in months I’m able to work relatively pain free.
So I think my productivity will start to improve soon.
I’m still writing the next chapter….and will keep you up to date as I progress.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend. And for those of you on Spring Break…be safe…but have fun.
🙂
Scott
Hi, Scott!
Glad to read that you’re well on the mend. ^^
as for spring break: Here in Austria we call this “Osterferien” aka easter holidays. Reckon ‘t is the same.
stay safe, have fun and don’t you dare rushing to work ere your back’s healed. ^^
Don’t push yourself with the anti-inflammatory. It’s easy to feel like you can do the things you used to do and worsen your injury. (from experience) Take a hard line with yourself to not do too much.
I’ll buy it! I’ve got $20.00 cash money. Crisp, too. Came fresh from the ATM.
It great to hear you are felling better. however please still take it easy. don’t rush things and end up hurting your back. I am enjoying the making ofs. thank you every much for taking the time to up them up.
take care and have fun with the family.
Nice to hear the pills are working Scott. Don’t get to the point where you’re relying on them. Work on the long-term goal of a healthy body, not the short-term goal provided by modern medicine.
Congrats on better health in your life. If you are looking for more great anime cons to attend, I recommend Otakon and Katsucon.
People are just now on Spring Break? Aww, mine was, like, a month ago!
So glad to hear you’re feeling better!
Yay for new and better meds! Glad to hear you’re in less pain, but don’t overdo it!
I have many joint injuries including both shoulders, a fused wrist and a badly arthritic hip – have you considered acupuncture? I have had possibly 50 sessions and i don’t need inflams or any medications at all. As an advocate for a substance-free lifestule, I heartily recommend acupuncture or IMS for pain long-term pain relief.
As a big fan of your work, I am constantly delighted by the quality of artwork and the great storyline you have !
Thank you for the entertainment and I hope your health issues resolve !
Gaaaaah, I’m an idiot. >_< I was at MTAC but didn’t make it into the artists’ room until after everyone had left.

*facepalm at self*

That just means you have to come back next year so I can actually meet you! ^_^
The worst part about finally finging the right medication is behaving yourself once you feel good. I suggest you have your wife poke you in the eye once an hour until the urge to work goes away.
ohh!! You should totally go to Otakon (spelling) in PA sometime!! I plan on going if I have the money! I would totally LOVE to meet you and buy a Felecity figure ^^ (with a hope of you signing a poster or something ^^; )
Hope the new meds work good for you! Take it easy though, so your back mends completely. The ‘making of’ pages are great and I’ll still be around when you start the next chapter.
scott,
glad to hear you had a good time. pain meds are temporary. if youre on them longer than a few weeks (bad Ju Ju! ) I had a back injury back in 95 and at one point the pain was so bad i was taking Lortab ( thats double strength Vicodin) just to get through the day. your body eventualy overcomes the meds. Ive been seeing a Chiropractor weekly since 2002 and havent taken any meds since about 2003 with 1 visit every other week now just to maintain the spine. at first you will go 3 times a week you will notice results within a month
Anime conventions are indeed… interesting. I like ’em.
Woot Felicity hehe More skin less cloths.
I REALLY enjoyed meeting you! Hehe. I love reading this series and I was really suprised that you were at MTAC since I hadn’t realized you were going to be there. The Nastajia and Alexander figurines look great on my desk next to my computer. (told you I’d take them out of the box). I hope I can run into you at other conventions either this year or possibly next year so I can get the other two characters at a convention e,e.
> For the first time in months I’m able to work relatively pain free.
That’s GREAT to hear! I hope it stays that way now. Take care!
Hey man, glad to hear you’re on the mend. Looks like you got the prayers and well wishes we’ve been sending. 😛 Hopefully, you’ll be well enough to check out that playoff thing coming up, with the sticks and the ice and that thing they call ‘icing.’
I’m glad you’re doing better! But still, try to heal first please? And good luck selling the House. Also, out of curiousity do you ever get up to Canada for cons?
Felicia would be MUCH prettier if she had a SNOUT to fit with this kind of nose. Or if she had a more humane nose.
Like this other antropomorphic caracter in this page
Felicity is just fine the way that she is. She is a tigress, after all, humanized in most respects to relate with the other characters in the story. Besides, she just reeks of attitude, doesn’t she?
Take care, Scott, and use those anti-inflammatories only as directed. Not much good to do anything else with them, anyway, but let’s not have you overdo anything to add to the injury.
(off topic nitpick) Lortab and Vicodin are roughly the same drug (although it seems that differences in the way they’re blended cause them to work differently for different people). Lortab is available in strengths that are higher and lower than Vicodin.
Kinda stinks, also, since Lortab does nothing for me. That means Vicodin probably wouldn’t either so there’s two drugs that would be a waste of my money…. And mepregan and family give me blinding headaches. Lucky me, eh?
Wonder if this post will trip a SPAM filter…
Joey in his Becquerel gear again.
