Just read the news on the passing of Ursula LeGuin. www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/obi…   The world now is a much darker place without her.  Sad. Sad. Sad.

How I can set dA so that the default page is Newest instead of What's hot?

I also have the same question. But apparently there's no answer. If someone knows how to fix it, please let us know. It's unnerving.

I'm not dead. Just busy. Currently engaged on studying a masters degree on translation and simultaneous interpreting. All paper modelling, metal embossing, casual drawings and amateur photography have been a bit displaced because of that. But I'm still here   How's everyone doing?

-not necessarily in chronological order-

Computer crash
Bought some nice Pink Floyd items
Disappointments in several areas
Nice new job
Depression
Watched Twin Peaks again
Trying to get back to metal and paper crafts (without much success)
One of my dogs died
Bought many merchandise items of Magic Knight Rayearth
Some veins and circulatory problems
Found new friends - lost/erased some old ones
A wonderful person gave me a great book
Found some of my most loved books were stolen

As you may know from my previous journal entry, first it was my father and his cancer (which he's fighting quite well). Now it is my mother who has health problems. Last Saturday June 22 she had a stroke (an aneurisma). She survived but she's still in a very delicate condition. So I guess I'll be absent from the artistic/creative scene for a while longer than I expected.

Regards,
Ruben Andres Martinez.
