You know, I remember a time that I would go into work and say "I'm going to do well today, because I have a chance here."  I remember when I tried to do a good job because, well, it's my job.  I remember a time that I felt valued as an employee ( Read more... )

The other day I got an email from NCsoft... I'd been watching City of Heroes, occasionally resubscribing every few months, and I figured that now that the new expansion is out, I'd resubscribe for a month.

There's some awesome new features, a completely new starting zone that goes to about level 20 (of 50), and the ability to switch your ( Read more... )

I don't suppose anyone here plays City of Heroes / Villains?   I reactivated my account for a while, want folk to play with.   Hell, if there's any server with a good RP community, that would be awesome.

So, I have just found out that I'll be getting a significant royalty... enough that I'm going to have a nice chunk of change to play with.

Whee!  I now have 2 commissions I"m working on, one as a gift for Ranalas, a friend I met in World of Warcraft... and then one that, much to my surprise, sold within a DAY on FurBuy, to a guy who has pretty good feedback overall.  That's a minimum of $50 right there ( Read more... )

So I now have my commission info posted at the top of my journal, whee.

I've discovered that I actually can write even on stuff that doesn't do a thing for me in the commission from ModMyths.  Not only that, but s/he (still don't know) is planning on paying for another one next week.

I have someone else interested in a much more 'vanilla' commission ( Read more... )

Roland Emmerich.  He's the guy who makes those big, stupid movies like 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, and Independence Day.  He's been criticized as creating or directing only the dumbest of movies.  You know what, yeah, that's true... a lot of his movies ARE really... really dumb.  Like 'gully dwarf dumb'.

But I've been thinking... it's not that he' ( Read more... )

Hey folk, just cut-and-pasting the commission info from Furbid... I'm also selling these for $45.00 for a full commission, and longer works can be negotiated.  I really... REALLY want to do some commissions here, both because I'm greedy, and because I want to flex my creative muscle.

In my life, I have only rarely been exposed to death, first my Father when I was thirteen, then my grandpa in my 20s... very recently my Aunt Laurel.  My father was the only one I was ever really close to, and it's been... seventeen years.  My dad's death was sudden, a final result to a mental illness that took his life, and in a way it was ( Read more... )
