So I’ve had a number of instances where my characters have had anatomical quirks develop in the various art I’ve gotten them in. Part of this is related to using the same characters in different canons (and thus different things happening) and not being rigid enough or communicating properly, but sometimes it’s more significant than […]

Raise the damn minimum wage
On July 25th, 2009, the minimum wage was raised to $7.25 an hour. I was at a tour guide job. I’d started at state minimum wage in 2007 of $6.50. One thing I’d do sometimes for meals at that job was walk down to the local Subway and get a Five Dollar Footlong. This would […]

Casting call
Something I’ve debated in the past is who I’d cast as voice talent for my characters. Just to kind of get the right vibe for them. Here’s somewhat of a list for them, based on my current thoughts! Kawheek: Ewan McGregor or BD Wong. Respective reference roles as Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Li Shang. Melody: Sigourney […]
Possible future outreach?
So I’ve been doing “So Your Kid Dragged You To Anthrocon” at AC for well over a decade, and once at MFF. Used to do the “Under 18 furs” at AC, though I’ve stepped back from that a bit in the last few years due to the calendar. But between that, the Creating a Fursona […]
Always give 100% (unless you’re donating blood)
So it looks like tonight may have been my 100th unit of blood donated. (I’ve given a few different places as I moved around, so the count is in my head). If it wasn’t tonight, it’s very, very close. This has long been sort of a personal goal. Many years ago someone a few degrees […]
Delayed epiphanies
So I’ve discussed before my issue with staying focused. And I’ve come to realize that a huge part of that is me being a social butterfly and desperate for interaction. I have a lot of contacts and groups, and even the ones I’m not really active in often linger for long periods before I finally […]

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny
As mentioned previously, some years ago I had to have necessary optical surgery for a medical condition. And since then, I often get ‘halos’ around brighter lights. The first I really noticed it was at the movie theater, where there was a glow halo around the entire screen. This also is a serious issue when […]
To rise from its ashes, a phoenix must first burn
I’ve discussed time before and how I’ve been making changes in my life, to reduce distractions and improve my productivity. But it has come to my attention that that is not the only area I am weighed in the balance and found wanting. Now, this isn’t to say I will be abandoning what I said. […]
