Let's Talk About Nothin'
10 years ago
I feel like a journal should be posted, but I don't have anything important to say. So let's talk about whatever!
I got a bit behind on posting art, so you're going to see an art explosion from me today, after I get back from the gym. Speaking of that, I've been going to a gym! And pretty regularly, which I'm a bit surprised at myself over, since big rooms of strangers make me p. nervous. I'm in pretty good shape as it is, but my running endurance is preeeetty low, and my arm strength is nonexistent. I'm tired of being totally useless whenever Toby and I have to move to a new place, and I can't lift my half of the couch, ha ha. I started out at a struggling 10lbs on this one deltoid machine thinger, and now I'm managing 15lbs finally, so there's some progress at long last.
My garden is going... going, currently. I planted seeds at the end of March, but my housemate's dogs broke into the enclosure and stomped them all out because they wanted to see what this secret dirt patch was all about. We bought some baby plants and replaced them just last Thursday, and so far they're not dead. They feel a little limp, but I could just be overly nervous. I seriously do not have a green thumb u.u;;
Been listening to/watching a lot of Let's Plays while I draw, recently. I caught up on the mighty backlog of Game Grumps I still had a few months ago, so I've been branching out more. I learned of a youtuber called Cryaotic and I just adore his narrative style. He mostly plays indie games, I guess? And like horror and visual novel style games. While I do enjoy GG and Markiplier, they tend to ignore most of the things happening in a game while they yell and react to it, so it's refreshing to have a player who turns the game volume up, let's the cut scenes play, and just takes it all in. I definitely recommend watching the playthrough of Dandelion. It was so funny and entertaining, I can't even take it. Seriously one of the best things I've seen in a while. It's still running, too.
Okay, I think that's enough rambling about my daily life. I feel like my journals over the last few months have been entirely about commissions and business and art, and it's getting far too impersonal up in this gallery. I thought about doing one of those TMI Tuesdays, but I realized I don't really want to give out TMI, ha ha. Just isn't for me, I think. I'll try to post more about the artist behind the markers, though, because I do like to come across as a human, and not an art machine.
Now, tell me a little something about you. Seen any good Let's Plays lately? Do you garden? Do you hate plants altogether and wish you'd never seen one in your life because of the tragic past you hold between your childhood self and a bean sprout? Tell me in the comments.

I have a big problem with needles, too. I get what's called a vasovagal response when I have to get a shot, or other medical things that I won't mention here. It's super inconvenient, to say the least >.<
Another not-so-screamy LP dude I frequent is Mr Sark. He does more actiony things, but still keeps it light (and quiet recently because he has a child to not wake up). https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMrSark/videos But half the fun of his videos is the editting he does; normally just comments that slip down from under his facecam. So he's not quite one to have on in the background.
Thanks for the link to the other person, I'll take a look!
Seriously though, you were fun to work with the other day, and having nosed into your streams before definitely helped me be more at ease for the creation stream.
For LPs, my favorite is probably https://www.youtube.com/user/UnPlayedAThing especially his more obscure and weirder stuff. He's not super fast on the updates but I enjoy his style. I'd certainly recommend looking at Dark Savior, especially if you haven't heard of the game before.
I had a small patch of the garden to myself as a kid, but I'm not really determined enough to keep at it. Currently I live in an apartment. I suppose I could put some flowers on the balcony, but I haven't given it much thought yet.
Sorry to hear about your plants getting dogstomped o3o
Thanks for the LP link!
In any case, enjoy~

Also, I watched Cryaotic or whatevs playing Ori & The Blind Forest, god damn that game is beautiful.
I used to have little flowers growing on pots on my patio, but I'm not much of a gardener these days :[ my husband has an amazing rose bush going, though. I keep finding cool bugs in it~
