The Post-MFF Very Busy Weasel [Update Journal]
5 years ago
Hey, everyone. I want to apologize for the pretty much radio silence around here. This has been quite a year for me, and things have been pretty much all over the place. But I decided I owe everyone an explanation.
The Very Busy Weasel
So, I have to admit. I am not the bored, full-of-free-time guy that I used to be back in the day. As of now, I'm currently swamped with projects, relationships, content to peruse, trips, self-care, and just so many things to manage. I am trying my best to find a balance between busywork and relaxation time, so I don't end up going mad. I am currently on vacation from my job, which will hopefully help me get through some things I've put off, which leads me to the next point.
The Weasel's Very Own Job
For those of you that have known me for a while, you are aware of my job. I work at a university, in the language learning department, where I assist in the evaluation of language teachers. Recently, my job got a slight upgrade (essentially, finally becoming recognized by the university as a position) and because of that, my work hours got a bump up. I spend more time at work than ever before, but now at least I try not to bring work home. Back when I was in college, I was happy to do work-related stuff whenever I was required. Now, well, I can only do it at the office. I don't have the time at home. At least I'm getting reasonably paid. And I get to use some of my work time to work on personal things. And by the way...
The Weasel's FurAffinity Woes
I apologize if I haven't posted much around here as of late, but the truth is, I've barely had any time to check this site, considering everything outlined above. I'm trying my best to find time to go through all submissions and journals. I want to take this time to say that I have never used the Nuke button, ever. I take pride in sitting down and going through everything on my feed, item by item. Every journal, I try my best to read, and reply to, if I have something to say. Submissions too, going through the stuff I like, and faving anything I wish to save. I gotta say, story submissions are the toughest for me, because I do like to set time aside to read these, but it has been difficult as of late. Hopefully you guys can be patient with me, and do expect to see replies and comments coming in to things that you may have shared weeks ago. I'm trying to catch up. But I am working on a few things myself!
The Weasel's Ongoing Projects and Owed Works
For those of you in the loop with my life stuffs, specially you following me on Twitter, lately I've been on a writing mood, coming up with short stories on the dead of the night. A few months ago, I wrote a series of furry con-based stories, which I compiled and posted here, and I'm currently working in a weird "advent calendar story thing", also on Twitter, but in its own account, Fuzzy White Christmas.
Writing stuffs aside, I've been hard at work at my game streaming endeavors, where I'm currently going through the third Spyro trilogy game, starting Metroid Prime, trying to finish Breath of the Wild, among other things. I do recommend you check them out sometime!
Another thing I am hoping to try again is drawing. I had a pretty good run last year, with some draws I'm still very proud of, but there others I want to try. Specially because I owe some friends of mine doodles that I really need to get to.
Finally, my suit maker and friend
KonanWolfpard is currently helping me with bringing my weasely self to life, in the form of a brand new fursuit partial. That's gonna be my main project for December, and maybe January. And ah, speaking of fursuits...
Who's Pop the Otter?
Keen people keeping up with my Twitter shenanigans have no doubt noticed a new fursuit making the rounds on my posts, even making an appearance on my stream once. This mischievous fella is Pop the Otter. He's a partial suit, which I acquired at the MFF 2019 Charity Auction. Now, I am fully aware of the history behind this suit, which is...problematic, to say the least. That being said, I am fully committed to bringing the suit and character out of retirement and back to the fun of conventions and assorted events.
Pop the Otter is now under new management!
And speaking of cons...
Back from MFF 2019!
So yeah! MFF happened, and I was there! I gotta be honest, I didn't have many hopes for this one, but I'm happy to say, everything went way better than I expected. This was my first con not wearing wolf Rick. I really focused on being with friends the most during this one. I got to meet a ton of furs I wanted to see, like
Rubberbuns, 
Nearu-Senpai, 
marcothecat, among others. I got to make new friends, and I really did have fun! I'm starting to have faith in furry cons once more. It was all about changing my perspective and having a little bit of luck.
I also got a new suit at it, pfft.
TL;DR: Rick has been hella busy with work, projects, been writing and streaming a lot, got himself a new suit, and wants to go to more furry cons.
So yeah, I think that's it for now. If you got to read all this, thank you very much for your attention. Thanks for being patient, and overall, thanks for sticking around. I'm really just another fur in the grand perspective of things, but having met so many people has really kept me going and trying. I'll see you again by the end of the year, when I'll hopefully write a year recap journal.
See you, then.

But I do the bulk of my job at the office.
