Chloroform Days - Cammy's journal from the end of the Multiverse

Sometimes you gotta work on your day off
October 26, 2022

I had to go into work on my day off yesterday! Beer has a nasty habit of hiring very unreliable older women with bad attitudes, and this one's been out sick like ten times in her first month. This is to say nothing of her habit of leaving early the moment she sees me go into the building, long before her shift is over or my shift even starts. (Needless to say, the store is looking for a replacement.) Everyone was thankful, I got a gift card, I got some more hours towards my end of the year Read more

It's real???
October 24, 2022

cammy.somnol relaunches as promised! As also promised, it is incredibly bare bones. We will rebuild. Have a bit from my sketchbook as a bonus. Trying to flex my (nonexistent) design muscles a little bit and give some old and new characters designs at long last. This boy's my first ever OC, one I came up with all the way back in 2014. Still need colors and also some more markings on him. I named him Felix, and he was originally an Oshawott (and perhaps I'll have a Pokemon alt for him), but as of Read more

I have suffered, but my friends say I have learned from it
October 22, 2022

I'm a goofball and I got way too drunk last night. Sometimes, you think trying new things is great fun. Sometimes, that new thing is Four Loko, and it causes you to sit blankly on the bathroom floor, hoping you don't throw up. Missed the rest of the group call, passed out before I said goodnight to anyone. Never again. Anyway! I got that Setter done a few hours before then, so hopefully cammy.somnol launch soon??

Site idea infodumping
October 19, 2022

I'm starting to think if I don't sit down and make time for this journal stuff, it'll never happen. I'll get used to it, promise! Am thinking about it nearly daily, lots of thoughts I should probably infodump here... So as you can probably tell, I think it's about time to refresh my sites. The original cammy.somnol got pulled down in February of this year because I was in a pretty sore spot when I made it, it wasn't exactly as personal as I wanted it to be (felt very forced, very "old web" for Read more

I don't even know anything about kickboxing
October 17, 2022

Hi! Third post. I'm a little tipsy, so let's see what I can do here. So firstly, here's the last WIP of that Setter drawing I'm gonna post here, largely because flat colors are basically the last thing it needed before it finally started to resemble the final drawing. You can just see the final if you wanna see the next step. The goal is to have a background version for DeviantART (the background of which is gonna be turned into a tiled background for this whole site!) and a transparent (and Read more

Ancient walls of flowers tumbling down
October 16, 2022

I'm just gonna go ahead and write two blog posts in one night, because really, that first one doesn't count. That's just the foreword. Let's talk work for a moment. I work nights at a register at one of our local grocery stores, tending to the beer and wine section specifically. It's a pretty idiosyncratic job that I can ramble about (and I'm sure I will—did I mention I've got a bunch of journal post ideas already?), but one I'm pretty happy with. I like the people there a lot, I get a lot of Read more

Well, here we are again
October 16, 2022

Welcome back to cammy.somnol, intrepid web people. I think I pulled down the old site in February of this year or so? So that would make us eight months into radio silence. Thankfully, I'm reclaiming one of my sites again. If you follow what I do, you're probably aware that I archived the Scratchpad back in February as well, the Scratchpad being my prior blog. What makes me come back after swearing off blogging? What's different this time? Why did I not just revive the Scratchpad? After all, I Read more
