hey folks. how you doing?
i had a pretty good holiday. i got BOGLINS (rubbery ugly puppet monsters) and immediately set about bothering the cats with them. also got a life sized snom (the ice grub pokemon) plush, so now i have a snom sized pillow. hell yea snom collection. i think im only missing sitting cuties snom plush now!
then aelph made a thanksgiving-style dinner and we chilled out watching Bad Guys. it was cute, it's a cute movie. i'd def probably show this to a child over zootopia? even if the blending of flat animation for eyes and eyebrows looks really weird juxtaposed with the 3d animation for the rest of the characters. i think that might just be my personal distaste of 3d cartoons tho, i miss ye olde cell frame animation. still it was very cute. mr snake had a very oscar the grouch vibe, and i do love oscar. oh yeah, i also got really thick warm oscar socks. sweet haul
i'm still working on getting holiday cards out, but because i always think of them as new years cards and not xmas cards im not TOO pressured. was gonna do that today but ehhh wound up shoveling snow and doing those dishes instead.
also decided i really should move on that 2025 resolution to make my fursona/fursuit a little website. so, tada, i did it! it took me bout two days, but that's much faster than my last time using css so it feels good to know i'm learning/absorbing some of the technique of building sites in this code. it should work on both desktop and mobile, and should (i probably need minor tweaking first) be not a drag for anyone visually limited who uses a screen reader.
i'm putting the finishing touches on the inhuman new years art and juuuuust starting to try painting some rough n rowdy sexy cowboys for ANE. two weeks from now! either i'll finish or i won't, and if i don't, i'll just paint over the canvases again and use them for something else.
happy to drop off my lithium ion battery recycling zine at the weed shop - evidently the clerks themselves have been mulling over what to do about the battery issue since most folks just throw them out! especially because many vape pensor pods come as a one-and-done disposable with a battery. the word disposable makes folks think they belong in the trash, and they clearly dont. also the battery is rarely dead by the time a disposable is emptied of its contents. so horrayyyy a zine delivered to the right place! i wonder if theyll make copies or not. i wouldve given more but ive been leaving them here and there all month and so that was the last one in my bag.
my ps4 controller (i dont have a ps4, i just use it w my pc) is on its way out. the usb port is getting all loose n wiggly which means it randomly disconnects during games. talking with friends who also use the ps4 controller as their pref, this seems to just be how they are. they have a life of about a year. it sucks because if i knew how to open these, i'm sure just tightening the mountings for the usb connection would be all that needs doing. alas!
well, i promised i'd livestream some art today and i haven't in a week. i should probably make an attempt to make good on that. i am relieved i was able to replace the gen1 10.5 in ipad pro off backmarket for cheap. honestly i only ever use backmarket anymore... its not like i can afford new-new tech! and not like i want it anyway, loaded w ai crap as it will be! buuuuuut yeah it's nice to no longer have large cracks all over the screen or have to use a screen protector that dulls the stylus' sensitivity.
still, paper and ink is where its at for me.
see you on new years eve when i post the inhuman holiday pic
