That's better

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 8, 2008, 11:17 PM
Well, I've got a fully functioning keyboard again at least, so I might as well write a less headache-inducing journal entry.

My sister has been kind of trying to convince me to move to Iowa or Ohio or wherever it is she's living now. I just moved into this place, so I'm not crazy about packing everything up again and moving to another state so soon. I think she mainly thinks I'd be happier in Iowa City because it's not like I've got anything going on for me here.

I am trying a little bit to maybe get out more and meet more people. I've signed up for a class in cartooning, and I'm not sure how much I'll get out of it, but it might be interesting, plus my hope is it might give me more direction. I also keep thinking of attending one of the meetings of this local anime group I'm aware of, just to see what that's like.

Maybe if I followed the world of anime more, I would have learned much sooner that Geneon was going out of business, making many anime titles unavailable for the foreseeable future. It might be an overreaction, but I could see myself going broke buying a lot of DVDs before certain series become super hard to find, or super expensive, because there's a lot of anime I haven't seen yet.

So now might be an appropriate time to mention again that I do accept commissions, although I might question the wisdom of commissioning me unless you don't mind waiting a potentially long time for your stuff to get done. I already have like five commissions I'm supposed to be working on now, and I do tend to procrastinate.

I'm such a terrible procrastinator, I suspected my arm was fractured or something for nearly a week before I finally saw a doctor the other day. Turns out it's tendonitis instead, which is not the greatest news, but it could be worse, and I feel better just knowing what it is and isn't. It'll go away eventually, and at least I'm still able to draw.

Blame the Flying Monkeys for your procratination problem. Blaming them will make your life easier. It did wonders for me.

My commission is one of the 5 you're working on, right?

Er, didn't I already finish that a couple months ago?

Yes, but aren't you submitting it?

I hadn't been planning on it. I don't submit every art project of mine to deviantART. Only a small percentage of the commissions I've done have ever ended up here. Also, I'm afraid I fail to see how publically displaying an image qualifies as a final step in the commission process. I naturally assumed that since you personally had the drawing you paid for, that was the end of it.

Oh, okay. That's cool. I get it now.

I think your current cartoon style is very cute :)

Thanks, that's nice of you to say.
