Hard Reset, Hersheypark Hope and A Horny Feline

Overdue Journal Entry

Hey Pam. I feel bad for not using my blog anytime soon. So I’m going to write and try and find a doodle to post.

Today, I woke up at 8, got out of bed 15 min. later. I had not slept much. Not rested at all.

Then I had to complete inking Blenderman before I went to work. Jeez. It ended up making me late, but since I opened, it didn’t matter. Slow all morning, and picked up good after lunch. However I didn’t feel well and concluded it would be more profitable to come home early and do freelance than stay and earn less. It sorta worked.

We got stromboli tonight. Ignoring the cost of it is easier when you get a $20 tip and eating it improves one’s mood. I plan on being more rested tomorrow.

Mandy’s torso is sore today. You feel any after effects of HP?

Mandy found a new webcomic that I like now. I don’t think it’d be your tastes. It’s about a comic book nerd that gets stuck living with a lesbian/bi punk girl and a tall, french-canadian blonde bombshell with huge breasts. Yeah. Not your tastes meaning you’re not male.

We might be going to West Virginia around January to meet internet friends. Rent a cabin-type thing. I don’t remember taking many winter vacations. I’m sure I’ll need it by that point.

I’m gonna try and play World of Warcraft now. I’m so happy to have it back. Now I just need to find the time and put off doing so many other things!

How can one work in this heat?

Freelance items and a moral dilema

Wut.

Today was going to be a highly productive day. I thought so. It still was, kinda, but I feel so off now. We’re not too happy how all our money kinda disappeared this month, and we’re even further from paying mom back. But I did get Gottalottaheart done, and i should go see her tomorrow. And why the heck have I not called that once client back? I haven’t heard anything since I sent my contract… That makes me scared.

On top of that, I have an unwritten Blenderman and Cats VS to contend with before midnight. Ugh.

I’m trying to do this blog more. I’m glad you’re sticking with it too.

Please don’t go insane like I am.

Yay for tourism!

What A Lovely Day

Pam,

I have to get this on here before I get too tired. Yeah, it was a good day. Not very productive on the freelance art side, but got lots of food, was happy, and did this week’s Cats VS. Check it out.

DFTBA,

Neil

PS. Sorry I don’t have any probing questions or issues to talk about. I’ve drawn a lot today. Need to do something else. Discuss.
