I wanna die drawing. I wanna die drawing. I wanna die... If the thought's gonna be on repeat, I figured out how to make it work for me.  ^^ And I've gotten a neat idea that I decided to draw.  I think I'll always be intermittent between great-wow.  And ugghhhhhhh, this SUCKS! And with Affinity, I can clean, and edit my pics, and use layers to try and make the SUCK less horrible!  The caveat there is that I want to finagle with it too much.  let it go. So here are my pics! PS, I learned that scanning in greyscale makes MUCH less image noise.  woot for that.  Now I just have to stop drawing over written lyrics.  :P Here are some lyrics I had to erase. >.< When someone has been in a coma for years, what's their age?  Their body or their mind? Depends... Perception of the room shouldn't matter, they can't interact at all.  "That would drive my crazy." (--.--)  something is wrong with that face.  I...

I made some that is tasty, and am proud of it.  :) Chicken livers-fresh at store.  Chicken vs cow may be important. Rinsed well. Soaked in milk from 7pm to 8 am. Rinsed well. Reduced butter, took some brown foam off the top and crumbles off the bottom. (Meanwhile reduced 2/3 c pinot gregio to half cup.) Plopped a few cloves worth of diced garlic, browned. Added liver.  Cooked till rare.  Removed liver, reduced liver liquid stuff to glorious brown stuff in butter/oil.  Removed brown stuff. Wine reduction.  Sage.  mixed, returned liver, simmered a bit.  Turn of heat.  Liquify, add rest of butter.  Salt and pepper to taste. Pour in muffin skirts, pour oil on top to seal.  Put some cute leave in it if ya got some.

So far peach trees have not activated their buds. This is wise.  Raspberry keeps trying to grow.  I need to buy the misordered top soil at work for their pot.  Peaches never got their pots ultra-insulated, but we're sort of tucked against the fence and under a table, so hopefully they are okay.  Ashley's peach survived, and it was exposed in a tiny tiny pot. Max is being a good puppy now.  Was a rascal this morning, Bf got mad at him, he got a hand and stuffed animal to the face, so we parted away for a nap.  I woke up feeling better, but bf seems sour with his own behavior, knowing the puppy face is compromised.  I decided to react to a bf behavior that displeased me the same way as a max one: since I let him know I didn't like it pre nap, the only thing left to do is to put it behind me and give him lovins now.  A bit hard when he is being salty, as he would say, but I feel alright.  Half the battle. Maximus got a nice walk outside, and I...

It's started to be rainy and I wasn't in the mood to hold Jorah under an umbrella, stuck to him as he stifles up to poles and trees. To the soccer fields we go!  I walk with umbrella, Jory can be off leash.  This ask went very well until it was time to go home.  He was next to me, I was trying not to step on worms, and then he was missing. Turns out he was standing behind a garbage, eating from the grass what appeared to be peanut-butter-coffee-chocolate no bake cookies.  Or the poop of something that ate it.  I was very displeased that he slunk back to what I had told him to leave alone!   Mostly that I forgot it was there and let him.  I inspected the small remnants, and we went to the car.  I left him in the car, dressed for work quick, grabbed his blanket and a toy, and to the vet we went.  They are across town now, so we got there about a half hour after his illicit noms. I left them with my dog and number, and headed to work....

I drew this to respond to a Facebook friend's posts.  For the most part it's delightfully out of context without the reference.  #drama #authormining. I originally planned to have two kids, girl and boy, but decided last second to stick with two females, don't hold me accountable for the apparent age difference, it's from a lack in drawing skill, not an intentional representation. Walking the dog this morning, I was impressed at the appropriateness of Nothing More's album for this situation.  "Christ copyright" "I'll be okay"  "friendly fire", others.  Rock on.

It took me a week of broken sessions, but I finished the 25 expression challenge for my heroin!  I'm all like: crap, that's not a good ink to time ratio (inklocity?)  But it was hard and I'm proud of taking a stab at every expression for one face type.  A couple are quite good, imo, but most go between inaccurate expression, or inaccurate proportions.  I'm gonna scan it eventually and twiddle with the mediocre ones.   Cuz layers. But first, the anti-hero.  Then the question, should I do all 25 for the villains?  Which ones?  Throw a dart for secondary characters?  How often to cry and rock back and forth in a corner? Ps, I found an anime that happens to have the same character design for its heroin as mine (only drawn vastly better.)  Now I need to add a tattoo or feathers to her hair!  It's not very unique, this was more likely than not.  Still makes me wonder if it was two people doing the same thing separately, or if...

My fish died a terrible death.  His body was decaying around him.  I tried to fix it with meds, nothing worked.  He didn't want to die.  He was the fighter-ness fish I ever saw.  No giving up.  Even with a huge lesion on his side, blinded eyes, rotting fins, and failing organs, he was swimming almost like normal, responding to my presence near the quarantine tank.  Slim's two day health plunge was the most fucked up thing I've seen all year.  It hit me hard in the feels.  I feel responsible, because his little life was my responsibility when I bought him.  I put him in a nice big tank to explore--where he tore his fins.  I left him in that nice big tank (a bit remodeled), thinking they were healing beautifully.  And bam.  Ugh, it sucks.  At least I learned some things.  Like how the melafix I was treating him with is for gram positive bacteria, and could not touch the gram negative bacteria destroying his body....
