It was quite fun and the jokes weren't too off-color.<br /><br />I'll be doing another stream this evening, starting at 5:30 Mountain Time (that's 7:30 Eastern, 4:30 Pacific, some ungodly morning hour if you're in Asia) for those who couldn't make it this time.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I realized that BLFC is in a couple of weeks and some extra scratch cash might be nice to have.<br /><br />So! If people want, I can do a scribble-commission stream Saturday or Sunday night. Cheap enough rates - you pay me $10, I spend an hour scribbling a picture for you. (Just like my job, only fluffier and actually drawing stuff!)<br /><br />Anyway ... who's up for it? Let me know if you want to buy some of my time, and which day you'd prefer to see me stream. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So I'm planning to do sketch-commission streaming tomorrow, starting around 3 or 4 PM Mountain time (that's 5 or 6 Eastern) and keep going for as long as I can.<br /><br />The rules: <br />1) Keep it civil, keep it clean. Time spent breaking up fights or scolding people for talking filthy is time that doesn't get spent making art (or as close as I ever get). Friendly chit-chat is totally fine, though.<br /><br />2)Try not to roleplay and such. It's kinda distracting. Also, the people who aren't in on the roleplay wind up feeling left out. And that's just not nice.<br /><br />3) Payment is due when I start drawing your picture. Here's how it works: send me a PM with the detail ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So ... with the big holiday chunk of no-work coming up at the end of the month, coupled with increased expenses and all else ... my accounts are running a bit dry and I'm a little afraid of what's going to happen when rent next comes due.<br /><br />Therefore. I think I would like to do some stream commissions in order to stave off the specter of bankruptcy and homelessness for a bit. Quick OpenCanvas speed-paints (like this or this or even this) for $5-$10, depending on complexity.<br /><br />Does this sound like something people would be interested in? If so, it'll be this Sunday afternoon/evening, and I'll post the details then. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ The relationship between witches and striped stockings is a peculiar one. The general mental image of a witch involves a crooked woman with green skin, a hunched back, and an enormous skin growth on her long, crooked nose, wearing a black dress, a broad-brimmed conical hat, and hob-nailed heel boots over striped stockings. Sometimes she even has a long black cape or cloak. While the complexion issues and tendency toward kyphosis are a debatable stereotype, most of the clothing came about for practical reasons.<br /><br />A broad-brimmed hat is just the thing to keep the sun off of a witch's face and neck while she's weeding her herb garden or tending t ]]></media:text>

I went to the Outer Banks for a week after botching the solo (I got off from the accompanist several times, biffed the low note just before the end ... egh. At least the concert raised a lot of money for the local food banks). Spent the week with my parents and another 60-something couple.<br /><br />Got sunburned feet. Ate a lot of shrimp that was steamed to perfection. Collected loads upon loads of shells and worry-stones. Visited with my cousin and his wife. Might say more, but there's at least a sketch left to scan and post. And try to get over the massive post-vacation slump. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So here I am back in Ohio, enjoying the company of my family, and generally being away from the scanner I so dearly miss (I mailed it to myself "neglected class"). For the time being, I'm heading toward getting a job, etc., and generally keeping myself away from that dangerous substance known as extra time, so don't expect anything too frequent from me (I'm on a 56k line). ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Just joined DA today, 'cause Keenspace went TILT again and I need somewhere more stable to post pics for people to see.<br /><br />(On KS's good days, I can be found putting up comics at http://netrek.keenspace.com)<br /><br />So ... uh ... yeah. I'll be posting pictures and other stuff, mostly of characters from RPs and such.<br /><br />And other than that, I can't think of anything else to talk about, so I'll let you go. Ciao!<br /><br />--Sij ]]></media:text>
