While I'm currently living at my mom's house, I ought to respect the utility bills she pays. (Most of my money is going to counseling and groceries for myself.) So when she gets a notice that the data limit has been reached, and additional data will be charged extra, I feel obliged to do what I can to minimize it. And streaming video and music accounts for the largest portion of my data, so I'm going to go without streaming until March.

It's hard not to stream, admittedly. Having even one or two people watch my streams helps keep me focused. I've been letting in some bad habits during the past few nights off-stream, where instead of focusing 100% on drawing, I'm maybe 25% focused on drawing and 75% on internet videos or impulse game sessions. But I will do my best to self-discipline with music CDs and my phone data if necessary.

I wish there were still good music stores nearby. I wouldn't mind impulse-buying some Beethoven or Mozart or Neil Young or Mike Oldfield or, God willing, Camel or Renaissance.
