What was your random act of kindness today?
Submitted by Cher Cabula.

Convenient QOTD! Sweet! My fellow co-worker Kimmie has been feeling down and out as of late, so in effort to bring her happiness for the coming week I made these tiny felt happy tear buddies to cheer her up! You might notice that they look familiar, as they're based on a drawing I did last week.

3-D Cat Cards

Much to my surprise, I too was greeted with an unexpected act of kindness when the visiting Vox product manager from Japan, Ayako, brought me a set of these incredible 3-D Cat Playing cards! The box design alone is pretty lovely, but the cards themselves are made of win and awesome. While you can't tell from the photographs below how awesome they truly, you can catch a glimpse of their 'special effects' in my very first Vimeo post over on my TypePad blog. Thank you so much Ayako :3!

What do you do with the cards and letters you receive? Do you keep them all, just keep the photos, throw them away?
Inspired by jacolily.

Taking after Crapartist's idolization of the design in various snail mail and packages, I've begun to preciously photo-document the various goodies I've received in the mail. Crapartist's letter was the first in this series when he sent me a lovely set of his pixel magazines all piled up in a beautiful air mail envelope.

Package from Berlin

Due to the holiday season and the mighty generosity of some friends I've had quite the influx of packages as of late. Check out my postal service photo gallery on my Flickr or Atreeyu for some musings on the stuffs receive, and if anyone wants a snail mail pen pal let me know (though I have to be sure to send out Crapartist's gift before starting anything else :P).

What's the best gift you received this year?

Easy. The limited edition of 1, regally framed To Do list courtesy of ydnar for my 22nd birthday. It currently slouches atop my mantle and really holds the room together. Thanks ydnar for the radsauce gift!

Were your holiday cards store bought, handmade, online, TBD or MIA?

2006 Holiday Card

For almost 6 years (I think?) I've been drawing and rendering my holiday card to meet my annual 'Slutty Holiday Anime Girl' milestone. Typically I sketch out the character by Thanksgiving and have it colored before Christmas, then I send it out via mass e-mail, twitter, facebook message, etc. Might be a bit late this year, but while you all are waiting you can take a gander at my Slutty gingerbread lady from last year.

I'm thinking these drawings are a result of all that subconscious pent-up desire to wear a sexy bee-costume for Halloween each year (</sarcasm>), but ... who knows.

Do you tend to like music in particular genres, or are your tastes all over the place? What are your most and least favorite musical genres?

wanted - rock band

My favorite genres of music tend to be the ones that I can play on Rock Band, you know, the kind I can paddle away at obsessively with a gaming guitar peripheral.

So I'm shamelessly manipulating today's QOTD to fit what pertains to my current and only interest, Rock Band. This is an entirely legitimate answer however, given that just about every song of any genre becomes awesome when you are performing it in the game. For instance despite my typical disregard for most varieties of hard metal songs by my day to day musical standards, when I'm fiendishly pumping out arpeggios and I can hear the virtual crowd sing along to my music all those standards instantly melt away.

In other words, I've had it for a day, I've been playing it occasionally for over the past few months and I'm obsessed. Plus, my avatar has a shaved head and looks like Tank Girl. I spent $1,000 dollars in gig-money to get that look, and she kicks ass. Kudos to Raf and my singing little sis for the awesome jam session last night!

It's dedication time. What song are you sending out, and who is it dedicated to?

This song is dedicated to no one in particular. I'm just reposting it because I listened to it on the train this morning:

How are you celebrating Halloween today?

Walking around as Princess Mononoke, trying to convince Rudy to be my wolf dog. Hopefully attending the Hellgate London launch party with EA/VICE, featuring Chromeo as their special musical guest! There is alternatively the chance that me and some friends might just cozy up and drinks some beers ^_^. In costume, that is.

What other names did your parents consider for you?

When my parents were deciding on a name for me, my mom's favorite choice was Vanessa while my dad wanted to name me Mercedes after the car he owned at the time. Neither of them approved of the other's favorite, although I think Vanessa may have worked in some parallel .tiff existence. I don't know where Tiffany came inbetween those two, but I believe I was named after a figure skater.

Personally, I don't really like the name Tiffany. It's alright, I suppose, but it makes me think of some lame-o teeny-bopper 80's chick. I think that's partially why I like to be called 'Tiff' (or .tiff) instead.

(Well yes, I am an alumna since a few weeks ago, but the grass walking officially takes place on sunday. Today I took my very last final of college. There are no words. No words. They should have sent a poet.)
