Did the thing.

Welp... since my last journal, I moved to a new job, got married, lost my mom and THEN the pandemic hit... so if my first bit of 30s could be a little less turbulent than the back half of 20s, that would be nice.

Also, furry Twitter has decreed that I must leave the fandom at once, apparently. El oh el.

Hope you're all doing as well as possible given the circumstances!

Figured I'd try my hand at naming some commissions/works for folks depending on subject matter. Is this a sustainable business model? Hell no, but if you're interested, send me a note!

My c̶o̶v̶f̶e̶f̶e̶ Ko-Fi can be found here if you feel like the pun title is good enough to warrant throwing a few bucks my way. If not, ride off into the sunset and use the title anyway! (See: sustainable business model.)

...That title is the FA equivalent of "FREE BEER".

Folks,  heartsandbones is a lovely person with a lovely dachshund named Bear. (NOTE: Not an actual bear, nor a fine denizen of Castro Street, but still a very good boy as of press time.) Bear has recently run into a health problem involving his back/legs, and mobility may become an issue -- as may finances to support treatment. Please, PLEASE help support Anais and Bear as you can.

Note that she also has some characters for sale as well.

GO DO THE THING.

A few new watchers in the last 2 months... have at it!

Been about 6 weeks since the last one, and somehow I broke the 150-watcher mark. Ask me anything!

A few new watchers in the last month, it seems... ask away!

Good friend, great artist! Give her a look especially if you want a pet commission.

A few new watchers this week! (I really oughta get more art to actually justify the 140 of you following me...)

Questions? Comments? Kvetch about life?

Not much happening around here aside from being in the most basic wedding planning stages.

Sound off! How are y'all?

A little under two years ago -- after over a quarter-century of wallowing in self-pity -- I finally got the courage to ask a girl out on a date.

Fast forward to Tuesday, March 6th, 2018. Went to Disney World as a boyfriend, returned as a fiancé.

:)

At least most of those were good years!

Summary of this month in Jim's world: Breathing down one's neck can be sexy in the right context. Corporate breathing down one's neck is decidedly not.

Anyway, gimme them questions!

 CosmicSynapse is a great artist and an even-better person, and they're starting to take commissions!

Examples from my own collection:

Sesquicentennial - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/24600546/

ASS MAN (NSFW) - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/24569395/

They've even recently changed style for even-cleaner lines: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/cosmicsynapse/

Prices generally range between $25-$35 (more for complexity/NSFW). Get yours today!

No, I don't mean 720p or whatever!

Anything you're going to do that you've been putting off, or identified as something to fix in the last year?

Personally I got work without overtime (though honestly salary work is preferable most other times of the year), but also money for a new suit which I'm excited about.

Any big or small-ticket items of note in your stocking or under the tree (or for the extremely lucky few, out in the driveway)?

As the title says. Let your freak flag fly!

Been over a month. Have somehow amassed 125 watchers. Ask me whatever!

As it says. UNLOAD YOUR FETISHES ON ME WITH RECKLESS ABANDON.

With 17 minutes of Tuesday left to spare! (At least in Central time.)

Any questions for me?

Good news: Only a day until hockey season starts.

Bad news: Holy shit, all that stuff I was putting off until October suddenly came home to roost.

Anyway, question time!

Aaaaaand go.

Haven't done one of these in... 469 days, apparently?

Fire away!

Apparently ask.fm is now old-hat. I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what's *it* seems weird and scary to me... and it'll happen to you.

Anyway, haven't posted in over a year, so what the hell. If you wanna just ask random questions below, I'll gladly answer those as well!

Yes, it's precisely as amazing as it sounds.
