I have my flight out of here scheduled for this Sunday, the 17th. With any luck, by next week, I will be back in the US, comfy and with all my new CDs to finally listen to. On another note, I've been hitting the art stuff seriously hard this trip. I might try to finally update the mari@macintosh.garden art gallery, seeing as it was last updated in November of last year. Here's a drawing I did just yesterday and one I doodled this morning, neither of which have been posted anywhere just yet, so Read more
So a weird thing's happened! I'm drawing stuff and people like it: "Okay, well, maybe that's just how active I've been with the community on Sheezy. Let's check FurAffinity." Well, alrighty then! I didn't post anything of them to this journal (or my long-neglected static HTML art gallery on mari@macintosh.garden, which I'll update when I get back), but I drew both Cammy and Colton in separate drawings, and both of them have done remarkably well basically everywhere I post art (save Weasyl, but Read more
Think like you haven't ever, try to remember the days When we would talk 'til the light, before morning Your summer neck is burned with salt and sand I lost my fingers trying to find your old hands In time, maybe We'll discover we Could've been closer to the core, yeah In time, maybe We'll discover we Could've been closer, closer It's funny, how perspective works. I've mentioned this before, but I've really sequestered myself these past few years. There's only so often you can watch things blow Read more
Happy new year, journal folks! Have been getting over the emotional holiday hangover, but I'm pretty close to full speed now. I've had a bunch of things to update the journal about, so to avoid spamming it with a bunch of smaller updates, I'm gonna split it into two bigger updates, one with projects and one with my leisurely pursuits: mari.somnol is officially parked I've had plans for mari.somnol for well over a year now (this journal just happens to be from eight months ago instead), so I Read more
Some people will cut you 'til you're bleeding But not me, 'cause I just wanna do it to myself I'm just checking it up Baby, one more time for you Checking it up until the pile hits the sky Well, even the best years are a waste of time But baby, I'm a big star now All these seasons, all this time Spinning past 'til they leave you far behind Lay me down in the circle where the spotlight shines 'Cause all this pleasure gets me high I think I've felt every single emotion there is to feel in the Read more
Hope everyone's September is going swell so far. I'm really keeping my head down and working a lot, and it's paying off. Customers dropping $2200 my store in one go tonight. My manager was impressed, and after I learned he's just hard to read and doesn't actually hate me, I've been a ton more comfortable in my job—and I mean, that's what you need in retail, to feel good and be able to chirp at customers. It helps that I'm a lot more excited about what I'm selling now than I was about Read more
I've experienced a little bit of a breakthrough lately. Have a look: Yes, I've finally started putting real, proper eyes on my characters! I've known I really need to do that for, like, the entire time I've been drawing, but it's been hard finding a way to consistently do them that I like. I basically tossed out that Maldwyn ref from a few months ago because I thought his eyes were still too tiny and freaky looking. Well, finally it clicked. I was toying around drawing Rocco some more, and I Read more
I mentioned the other day I was looking at a flat-file, low-overhead PHP blogging platform called HTMLy as a way to automate a bunch of shit for this journal. We're on it, baby. Lemme explain in slightly less hurried, delirious detail why I've chosen to do so. So before now, all journal posts were written as raw HTML directly into Notepad++. No AutoSite, no automation at all, just what I wrote is what you see. That worked fine, but it became a gradually bigger pain in the ass month after month. Read more
Yes, peep that header! There's plenty more finished where this came from, I just gotta get the aboveground/underground update done to push it out. There is an embarrassingly wide gulf between the beta version of the site and what piddling little I have up on the main site now, so I'm gonna try to get that last little thing I've been putting off drawn so I can push it out finally. (It involves Bunny and it's also snuggly, so it scares me to death to draw. But I know I gotta.) I've decided Read more
Happy February, journal readers. I've been battling the world's most noncommittal cold ever the past few days. It was a bitch on Monday! A sore throat and mucus turned into a headache turned into full body aches and fogginess, but beyond that, every day has been a coin flip as to if I'll even be annoyed by my symptoms. (Today sucked when I woke up, but now it's just some scratchiness in my throat. I sound a bit rough but otherwise, I'm fine.) The chilliness here is honestly more of an issue. Read more
