Carp! The washing machine broke! *grumble* I don't need this.

The basket won't move. Water is pumped in and drains fine, but there's no agitation or bucket spinning. Instead there's just a nasty grumbling noise deep within the thing.

I bought some part; I hope it fixes the problem.

Итого сегодня была готова вторая ножка. как видно шото все дело идет полуударными темпами

Looks like Jaeger Fuchs and I made it in the news paper for Eurofurence 14!

Alright the trip is planned for all intents and purposes.
I'm leaving here on the 24th or 25th and spending the night of the 25th with D'Bandit in Buffalo. I leave there very early in the morning on the 26th(I mean VERY early) and arrive in the suburbs of Chicago 9 hours later to spend a weekend with Shale. I leave there at some point on the following Monday the 29th(not sure what time, depends on a couple factors) and arrive in the Twin Cities area 7 hours later. I will be spending the next two nights on my own, but the days are unsure. That Wednesday the 1st through the 5th I'll be staying with Nauta, and Monday the 6th through Wednesday the 8th I'm with Tim. I do not yet know what's up that night, but I'll figure it out. From there back to Chicago and Shale as long as he desires(or money allows) and then one more night in Buffalo then home.

To all local furs, FurFright is likely a no go for me, as it is so close to when I get home. We'll see if a miracle happens.

So, I'm closing this journal. Moving to a new one. If anyone out there remotely cares, speak up now and I'll send you the username.

SAI= bought!

Bleh... I don't suppose rainy days help any, but I've been kinda... blue. And mostly about stupid, inane crap, but stupid, inane crap it is. Like one moment I'm okay, thinking yeah, haven't really drawn much in the past few weeks save for the explosion that brought me back to reality, but that's fine, I at least still have the drive to draw and create and such. And then I sink into a depression of "gosh, look at all these people I know who are just so incredibly talented and (insert any number of self insults here, i.e. 'I'll never be like that, I'm dumb to think the stuff I do can be held to the same standards as that, why do I even bother, am I tricking myself into thinking I'm good', etc. so on and so forth)". Then I snoop around and find out that really I'm pretty decent at what I can do, and start feeling better, like maybe I'm not THE best, but darn, I'm kinda proud of the few things I do crank out. Then I start belittling the crap out of myself again, and... BLAAAAH.

I love Rain. I hate humid, rainy days. *squint*

I wanna new character to do. Something I haven't done before. But I want it to be unique, not something everyone else has done. Everyone does foxes, wolves, cats, dogs, and the like. (and this isn't to insult those people; feck, I'VE done cats and dogs, and yes, foxes, and wolves, and such. Look at Rain and Speck.) I think I'm just too damn picky, is what I am. That and not experienced enough. I know art is a learning process as well as creative, but the reason I don't open myself up to doing art for others right away is because I know it'll take me damn near forever to get whatever it is I'm doing down and THEN I do the character. Which is why I'm taking forever to do things for others, that I won't repeat here since I've done it ad nauseum in the past. I want it to be nice for the person, too. They deserve it.

Annnd I'm rambling again. Somebody shoot me. XD

I will remove anyone from my live journal friends list who posts anything election related before the election. My opinions are set in stone and are correct. You cannot change my opinion. Unless you create a filter to exclude me from any election related postings that you wish to make, I will remove you from my friends list. The fact that I am not the only person on your friends list eludes me. I enjoy my echo chamber and I will not have its integrity potentially shattered by people's uncalled for postings of their own, distinct opinions on the issues, candidates and the election. If I agree with their opinions it is one thing, but there is too much risk of someone posting an opinion I may disagree with, or worse, someone posting an opinion which may put my preconceived opinions at risk because it might be based on facts, or might even be correct. The stress and frustration it causes me to have to see a post on my live journal friends list is too much for my aching shoulders to bear, having to click the mouse button to scroll past it, or having to press page-down, or worse, having to create a custom friends filter in order to skip the journals of people whose postings I don't have any interest in reading while allowing them to still read my own friends locked entries.. I just can't take it. You people don't understand the difficulty that you impose upon me by doing these things you do, you really don't. I can't take this anymore. I just can't take this anymore. I just can't ta

It's always great to go out to run errands in pouring fucking rain. Especially when you haven't had a shower :>

Not much going on today- the house is the cleanest it's been in awhile, thanks to our friend Phoenix, who got bored while visiting us and decided to clean our nasty house while we were at work XD Thanks Birdie! So not much to do except for lounge around and wait out the gross-ass weather that the hurricanes have dumped on us.

I don't know if it's the weather, the change in the season, or something else. I feel like I'm going into hibernation mode. All I want to do some days is eat and sleep, and my sex drive has taken a downturn like whoa. I tend to get like this much, much later in the season, and typically September and October are active, happy months for me, because I *ADORE* Autumn. Roundabout November is when the wanna-sleep-and-eat feeling usually takes hold. Not to mention the depressed feeling that's been on me for awhile for no real reason. I'm almost 100% sure that it's hormones, and I'm having another imbalance like before. The fact that I haven't had my period in nearly 4 months is a bit of a clue, too. And no, I'm not pregnant, before anybody gets any ideas ;P Kyr and I aren't planning on any wolf-pony hybrids for another few years, yet. But I do desperately need to go back on the pill to regulate my hormone cycles.

And anybody whose parties or gatherings I've missed in the past couple weeks, I'm really sorry. Life got crazy for awhile, and I started having some meltdowns from work stress, and a yearly review that did not go well at all. Basically I called Laura and Becky crying that night. The feeling of being an utter, complete failure at everything I do is something I've been fighting off a lot lately. Part of it is the ADHD- from all the research I've done, that feeling is pretty well the nature of the beast. So I believe I'm going back to the doctor's to try and get myself back on some sort of medication, even if just a dosage that I could take right before work. I need -something- to help push me through the day.

ALSO

I have Yahoo instant messenger now, so feel free to hit me up (Devilponywolfe)

Bye bye fun,
Bye bye social life,
Hello Overtime,

Whilst at ConFuzzled I met with the wonderfully talented SpiritRaptor, saw he draws scaly things and thought "hmmm, well I -am- struggling to find Nikki a birthday present"...couple of months and a small fee later, I find this in my FA notes a short time ago, which made me squee, hopefully she'll like it too ^^

( Cut for scaly nudity and lotsa treasure )

Soooo my drive with all my uber important data on it just up and died. aaaaaaaand it seems that all the recovery and back-ups I had of it for the last year are corrupted. and all this on the day I was going to back up all the stuff to DVD!!!!!!!!!! O_O
If I can't recover this it will mean I've lost all my music porn, which isn't too bad, but it will also mean I'll have lost all my artwork for the last year and all the training videos and compositing work i've been doing recently; which IS a big deal!


Once I've got this fixed i'm going to shell out for some decent back-up equpiment,..I hate this bullshit!!!!!!

The Biography of John McCain



Small Town Values



The comedic stylings of Rudy Giuliani, where'd we find Sarah Palin, and other tales



Stick around for the end of the last video. Some interesting insights on the power of blogging...

I need to go line the inside of the head, but here's a few progress shots.

( A few photos from earlier. )

I had some unexpected glue squirt out of a tear in some foam and onto my hand. I'll be okay.



Up next, web work, laundry, and cleaning the house.

I love you guys. :D I went up like 200 Coke points because of your combined efforts.
I'm still 400 away from my slow-cooker... I'm doin' what I can to get more points, but I would still appreciate some help :D You know, if you were just going to throw away the caps anyway...

it's not that bad but it's still causing damage

hmmm, yanno..

if I were to buy a Japanese art program, which should I buy first and save the other for later? Sai or OC? :>


not that it would matter much in the choosing...
SAI= $49.06
OC(plus :B)= $74.76

oh man, I can't choose. I love them both. and I don't want to pirate for once D:

Time for a cellphone photo dump! :D Since I was already getting the Domokun photos off, I figured I might as well download the rest of them.
