Ugh… don't wanna work tonight. But I must. Without a job I don't get that green rag paper. And without that green rag paper I don't have anything to trade for food, water, electricity, etc… I wonder why we can't just trade holographic plastic paper instead? At least that paper would be more entertaining to look at.
Just noticed this in the stores. Imitation Shark Fin. I'll bet that won't curb all the shark hunting going on… cutting off their fins then throwing the rest of the shark back into the ocean. What a waste..
It's funny how eager everyone is to get me back into a job right away. Now I'm no lazybones, I like to work, but I've had so many issues with anxiety and it's actually been really nice for me to just take time to work on that. Since I quit my job I've started feeling a lot better about going out - I was getting quite agoraphobic over the last couple years. I think now that may have been partly because I hadn't had more than two days off in a row(and even that was lucky) in two years. I've never coped with stress very well.
When people ask me if I'm looking for a new job I've been consistently telling them that I don't have to worry about money so I'm not too worried about finding a job, but the first thing out of every older person's mouth is "SO HOW IS THE JOB HUNT??" What job hunt? I wouldn't mind having another job but I'm certainly in no hurry.
The only acceptable excuse for not working seems to be travelling.

But then the wife and I do have serious concerns about money. After all how can I get new outfits for my dolls in that comic no one reads if there's no money?
@Lonneheart: I'm surprised at you. Paper currency is facinating especially when you start looking at all the threads and color variation and symbology. It's like some kind of mystical document as oppsed to simple paper currency.
So most recent count I have managed once again to kill threads. I can even kill the REDUX: update thread in Meet, Greet, Show and tell. These are the times when I just want to sell off the dolls. It doesn't help that money is getting very tight because the wife's salary match ran out and the powers that be like to wait forever to process claims.Fixed.
Have a job interview today, it's nothing special but it's the first interview I've had in ages.
I've been feeling pretty good the last couple of weeks. :] Some good stuff has been going on for me! I'm even mostly motivated about work right now, haha.
Normally I kind of 'crash' in January and February, unless there's something external keeping me super-occupied. But the start of the year usually I'm really tired, missing nicer weather, unmotivated, etc. It's probably that seasonal thing. But this year since I knew it was coming I decided to just keep myself as occupied as possible, push through unmotivation and add things into my routine. It seems to have worked! I've gotten a heck of a lot more art done than usual, a couple of little projects, gotten through some books, work is picking up, I've been out more, and so on. I hope it carries on. :] (Anyway that kind of explains why I haven't been posting so much here- but I'm still lurking!)
Skool is rediscovering her comic creating genius! ^_^

Drama at the office here :(
Someone gots a nasty email from Mr passive aggressive boss and got very, very angry… told everyone to just F-off. Then stormed off. Weird energy in the office now. Nasty vibes.
Awkwarrrrrrrrrrrrrd. :/
I put my headphones on and will ignore it as best I can.
I'd feel better if I had some work to throw myself into and hide in, but I finished it all already, as usual.
I have a drawing to colour, I'll do that instead.
I'm getting kind of lazy and not having to drive the wife around everyday I haven't been showering. The brother-in-law is coming by to help the wife with some stuff around the house and I have this feeling it'll just be stuff that will keep me awake long after I should go to bed for my overnight.
I discovered online gaming and spent a whole day playing DeadZed. Love that target rich enviornment that is the zombie apococlypse and you start out with a Springfield bolt action, which one of my favorite rifles.
I dug out an old project and can't seem to get my head around how I colored it. I finally figured out how on another story so do I go back and convert this to that style or complete it in the newer easier way? I'll figure something out.
I just relistened:
http://www.drunkduck.com/quackcast/episode-39-its-my-world-i-can-break-the-rules/
I learned SO MUCH MORE since then. I think it would be VERY interesting if there would be more quackcasts about building worlds. I think I want to hear Jillyfoo and Amelius discussing it together.

NOT A PORN SITE!
Enjoying Resident Evil Revelations a bit too much. Too bad I don't know anyone I can go into Raid Mode with on the internet. Not that I'd want to… the nice weapons you get in Raid Mode can't be used in the main story mode. No zombies in here, but it's still creepy anyways… like that mansion in the first Resident Evil. Then again aren't luxury liners essentially mansions on the water?
And then there's this creepy woman who's obsessed with Jill. Specifically having her for dinner.... Her name is [spoiler]Rachael…[/spoiler] I wouldn't want to meet her in any dark place…
I watched the 1983 film "Spring Break" as I drew last night.
Wow… Even as a boobs& bikinis comedy that was freaking LAME! Soooooooooo booooooring…
Plus is had way more men scantily clad in it than women.
And worst of all the colour obviously wasn't that great on the film print, everyone's skin was a bright angry red… and those 80s styles: men in short shorts with no shirt, white socks pulled up high and white tennis shoes, topped off with a boofy butt-head hairstyle.
The plot was exactly the same plot as all of those films: Young men go on holiday to get away from parents and "get laid". stay at cheap hotel, corrupt developer wants to close hotel to build a resort (or something), young men vow to help save the place. They DO save it and nerdy man finds his true love/lust partner, everyone parties.

In other news, I'm getting tired of doing stuff. Those things are taking up my time and in doing so obviously leave me with a short supply of time… And then of course those people that I do the stuff with don't do the same amount of stuff in the same amount of time, so…
You know?
And then there's the parents. Oh god. They will not let me do the stuff in the place that I want to. Which makes me do stuff in places that I don't want to do them. It kind of messes up the things that don't need messing up and it unmesses everything that needs to be messed with. And of course there's the Rhino, but I don't need to explain that to you do I?

Rhino: a euphemism for your unfortunate and embarrassing priapic condition. :(
That has to make it into the DD soap ^_^
I've reached the danger point that if I don't build the next set and shoot more pictures I will probably loose all interest in finishing the current comic. I'm losing interest quickly and there doesn't appear to be anything grabbing and holding my interest let alone any readers. SSDD.

This sounds awesome and the part about the corrupt developer - who saw that coming?

I have the worst cold ever, since the last worst one.
