Anyone know whatever happened to ol' patchybutt, Ferris? The artist? I kinda miss 'em and they sorta just went quiet.

Injuries are healing,Life being dealt with. It's time then, to catch up! So I am tossing my best picture of Mia ever up on here, and letting everyone we owe commissions to, to keep an eye on these spaces. We got time and energy and dealt with distractions, so time to crank it up a couple notches and get it done. Enjoy. And thank you all for being so awesome.

I am slightly depressed. <:/ I am gonna miss most of Halloween, due to the fact I'm getting my overlay installed into my back molar. Yay fun. End result? I'm gonna be too out of it the coming days to really do much for Halloween...and I'm seeing all these wonderful arts, and celebrations and everything. Sometimes, life totally stinks. I'mma go down a pint of chocolate ice cream and shoot some shit in Borderlands 2. <:P Maybe watch Deathtrap go kill a few dozen hyperion or sommin'.

Well it happened today. Got the inlay carved out, temp filling put in, and one of the two cavities done. Dentist doesn't want both sides of the mouth completely numb, so I get the other one filled in when the Overlay is permanently seated. Which was logical.

The actual treatment? Was over so fast I spent more time sore from the needle poke before the blessed lidocaine took over. >.> I was rather shocked. I thought with that much carving it'd be a little slower. But laser thin burrs apparently haul ass. The cavity took longer. >.>

Only real problem? Insurance covered the cavity. Not the overlay. JOY. >.>

Just thought I'd pass on an update. :) I am doing well otherwise, and Nunaeve is slaving away at the commissions owed.

Okay. Here's an idea. Since we will more then likely NOT have any tablespace for FC...but Nynaeve still wants to go...we are considering pre-fc commissions. Order n' pay early and receive the commission completed at FC. Or you can order now and pay at FC. Kinda sucks. No extra table space, and so far, no one able to share space...and the Furry market Place? Aheh. Interesting that we can draw porn anywhere else BUT there...*shrug* Still Nynaeve wants to go. I want to try. But we need the fundage. And maybe people wanting to share room space? Still got a few months to go, but there we have it. If we can't make money AT the con, gotta make it BEFORE the con. <:P Ahhh well.

I can't help but smile and just shed a tear at the sheer beauty of this song. It's always had a huge impact on me, but this video...i dunno. Just makes me happy. To think all we've done, and how much farther we have to go. Really is amazing. Heh. And to think that this is probably the farthest out there video ever done...in sheer terms of distance. Can't wait for someone to film on Luna...

#1. The two writers on Batwoman quit after being told they can't draw the on-panel marriage of Kate Kane and Maggie. A lesbian marriage. With society beginning to accept this, DC goes and shoves their left foot straight down their throats. Way to go ruin one of my favorite books...AGAIN, DC.

#2. open submissions for females committing suicide drawn for harley Quinn. Naked. Hrmmm...I'm all for drawing women. But killing themselves violently? Naked? In a magazine minors all over love? And FFS it's Harley Quinn! Want to alienate the few people you have left, DC? Congrats on that.

I'm all for open art and non-censorship...but jebus fisking christos onna banana boat straight to Gehenna...I actually wrote a letter to the editors of both books and the people in charge of DC...and I ROASTED them for this. They just did to DC comics what "One more Day" did to Spider-Man and marvel comics...

comments? questions?

! Overlay, 2 minor cavities. Joy and rapture. And yet, I'm not worried overly much. I know I won't feel a thing, and it's not as serious as needing a root canal or crown. Meh. I can handle it. What it all means though...

Be VERY careful with your braces. Consult your regular dentist during the process. I didn't and my teeth are F**KED UP because of it. Loads of premature wear and tear. Leading to the above problems. Plus, when the wisdom teeth came in, they pushed everything back the way they were. Braces were a waste of money in that situation.

Also, drink less harsh beverages. Soda and juices and energy drinks? If you gotta drink 'em, drink some water after, or even wash your mouth out. Simple as that. My overlay is needed cause I wore a molar down severely. Another year or so and I'd be crunching dentin. They kept accusing me of grinding, but I never grind. At all. And there are no striations or chips or anything to show that I DO grind. BUT....the same damage occurs in people who drink soda. And I did, a LOT.

Boy things are gonna change now. >.>

Apparently they are so damn starved for jurists, that extreme financial hardship, lack of transportation, and being the sole caregiver of an elderly invalid, and of a minor still in high school, doesn't qualify a person to cancel jury duty, or even get a postponement, or transfer to the superior court five minutes WALK from where I live. So I tossed off my medical reasons, complete with paperwork from my psychiatrist and general physician...which was promptly sent back with a form that effectively states that "We, the superior court of California, don't give a flying fuck what your disabilities are." I am so LIVID right now, that I will indeed go down to the Mosk Courthouse in Downtown LA, on a Monday, and really tear them a new asshole. Contempt of court? You're damn right. *cracks knuckles* I don't function well in public...but when I get THIS *BEEP*ing mad, all hell breaks loose.

I listen to this...https://www.youtube.com/watc.....psx9txWw...and I silently weep tears of joy and smile, my spirits lifted to the beauty of this music.

And as a side note, good mood means artses incoming hopefully later this week. Should have a couple of the backlogged pics cleaned up so i can show 'em to respective individuals. Gotta get the commission train moving. ESPECIALLY since it's not looking good for FC. :) But then, I listen to this music again, and I don't care. Life is good. Art is wonderful, and beauty is all around you if you merely lift your eyes and look.

So do it. Right now. Go outside, or look up from the desk. Smile. Enjoy everything. As Warren Zevon said...enjoy every sandwich. I sure am. >.>

Nynaeve's going. I'm probably not, as it's not looking good for table space next year. So, I am now officially asking if anyone is going to Further Confusion as a dealer and has a table to split? And is willing? We can pay our share. Just wondering. We might end up with a table too. Not TOO far down the waiting list. But Im putting the request in now, just in case. Gotta plan in advance ya know.

Furry Zombie Apocalypse Card/Template game.
Think of it as a cross between Munchkin, Clue, and Dead Island/Rising, and many MANY other horror films and games.
It has resources. It has building and crafting. It has oodles of bad guys. It has EXPLOSIVES! And of course, it has CHEESECAKE. Sound like a good idea?

And yes, it's going to be essentially a send-up of them all. Except Munchkin. Cause that game is just flippin' the shit n' tits and totally righteous awesome.

I saw the two pictures of this theme on, of al places, Equestria After Dark. And I'm crying my eyes out because they are just two terribly beautiful images from a wonderful movie, and it just makes me feel so happy seeing them, even if the subject is a little sad. >.>

My beloved Xbox of ten years just today announced it was giving mup the ghost. I got graphical errors and snow and static, and then the dreaded e-74. Mind you, this is an OLD white box system. So I am not surprised in the least bit that it was dyin'. Now, the question is....should I get it repaired? Anyone in the Los Angeles area able to repair it? I used it as an excuse to get me a 120gb resident evil red system for considerably less then the cost of repairs, and a transfer cable or all the info on the old HD, but that still leaves me with a choice. Repair or not to repair? Part of me wants to. Part of me says to hell with it. And part of me wants to know how to keep this shit from happening to the new system. So....any info to share?

And as for art, I'm working as fast as house guests, annoying family members, over-working, and over-heating IRL are letting me. >.>

Kinda wish I could attend Bronycon...or send Nyn...but we completely missed the date on that. Ahhh well. As well, we picked up the Goblin Zeppelin kit for $12. a $76 kit for $12. WoW for WOW.
Anyhew, life is FINALLY settling down. Nynaeve's cleared for work, and my schedule is settling as well...so, back to what we owe. Look for some coming this month. No guarantees. Everytime we make some, SOMEONE has to bork things up IRL. >.<!

Nynaeve pinched hir left shoulder nerve something fierce and can't finish a bunch of stuff we have due for at LEAST a week or so. <:( Sorry for the new delay. I'll try to help out when I can. Sometimes, 40-hour work weeks SUCK.

Okie. Still on the waiting list. #11 now, instead of #12. Just wondering if anyone had space to share? Nynaeve can gut our display and only bring essentials if necessary. As well, looking for roomies to share expenses. Otherwise...it's not looking good. And the "No adult material, and no adult artwork in progress" policy of the Furry Market place kinda destroys about 50% of anything we do at con. So, just putting it out there right now. Nynaeve is lookin' for either roomies or room space, and table space for art stuffs.

Okie doke! For everyone owed commissions via myself and Nynaeve, we FINALLY have free time to crack down on them. This month we're shooting for completing everything owed. It's more then likely too much, but hell, if we don't set the bar high enough, we won't achieve. We're, BOTH of us, going to be working on the art. And starting with the simpler works, and working our way up to the more complex ones that need finishing.

Simply put, Nynaeve's sick and tired of owing artwork to wonderful patient people. And wants to see them happy and content with their art. Is it any wonder why I love the big lug? And yes. I am working on getting hir ass on FA as well. Anyone have a very big poking stick I can borrow? VERY big. Like, epic-scale.

I seriously need to get an avatar pic done....and finish up some more stuff. This damned california heatwave is killing my art mood though.

Feeling better now. Been listening to some great toons from Ravi Shankar and the Beatles and all sorts of stuff. Some of it makes me cry, but in a good way. A cleansing way, to speak of. So how about all of you out there watching? What do you like? Enquiring mind wants to know as I get back to drawin' all i owe. >.>

Califur was an excellent con...But not for making money. <:/ We made enough to make ends meet, but that's it. No profit what so ever. And concerning the situation with dealing at FC right now, in that we are on the waiting list, I am getting rather severely depressed over here, and it's not good for artwork creation. So I am in a bit of a nasty funk and rather upset. -.- Any commissions are gonna be delayed for a bit. Dunno how long.

Nynaeve's gonna be there dealing for us. Not much newer stuff due to injury, illness and family drama. But it's allowed us to improve the displays a bit with sample art and sample badges, now using my new slotted hole punch. *SQUEE* I am such a geek. I can't show, due to work work work and MORE F**KING WORK. I need the money though. He's got a Double room, so if anyone needs a place to stay? PLEASE CONTACT ME. Or him, at con. He's in the dealer's den, space 47. Second row in from the door, on the opposite facing. Space 47. ^.^! We're gonna need an awful lot of commissions to break even.

OH! Updates. Been working my ass off on 8 pics or so at once. I will scan more of them ASAP. Especially StrRedWolf, Mozdoc, and Griffinwolf. And then Nyn gets to finish the details and colors. >.> I will post more later this week.

Also, updated the Antsy and Worried journal, concerning Charm's road accident last week.

Got a message from Charm/Gentle. They T-boned some asshat who ran an intersection and failed to stop. Truck destroyed, and as of 7 hours ago they were till in the hospital waiting on scans and stuff and sore as all get out. But they messaged me so hopefully everything will be okay physically. <:( Ugh. I need a hug now.

***UPDATE***

Charm is home from teh hospital, severely achy and bruised. Truck is wrecked, and ashole who t-boned is claiming brakes locked up. Then explain why there are NO skid marks till AFTER the point of impact? Hmmmmmmm? Charm is relaxing and being momma henned (hir words) back to health. I am VERY relieved. >.> Thank you all for the well-wishes and I WILL pass them on.

***UPDATE #2***
Poor Charm is incredibly sore. No insurance, and the hospital kicked hir out with the bare minimum of care. I am so STEAMED right now it's not funny. Half-tempted to drive down to florida with the biggest cannon I can find and start blowin' shit up. Then I remember that the hurricanes do it for me. >.> Seriously though, I am just glad shi's alive right now.

I love StrRedWolf's CanoScan. But I need something a bit larger. >.> We work over here on 10x14.25 Manga Layout boards...so I would LOVE an 11x17 scanner or so. JUST a scanner. USB. Heck, if someone knew how to update an old Astra UMAX 1200USB using SCSI connections, I'd be ecstatic. Damn thing is over 12 years old and STILL scans a righteous pic. But the dinosaur mac is being problematic, so i need something on the newer Imac. >.>

heard about this offer from Adobe a few months back, then they ended up shutting down the authentication servers due to the massive load of free software flowing through? I was wondering if it was still going on? I desperately need a better copy then the crap version of CS 1 that's barely working now, and the Professional Copy of CS 3 I can't get an authentication code for. >.<! Even if I offered to pay full price, no such luck and nothing but a run-around from Adobe...and "lost E-mails". Gotta LOVE quality customer service...so....

Anyone out there can help me please? >.>
