EDIT:

Oh, dang! How did I forget? In my mad advertising largesse, I somehow neglected to mention that *AtomicStoney is doing the MOST HARDCORE COMMISSION SPREE EVER to help her get to San Diego Comic-Con! She's doing like ten in a week, or something...? She's crazy! Like a fox!

EDIT AGAIN:

And *Coelasquid's taking commissions too? Judas Priest! Of all the times to be saving my money...! But if nothing else, Internets, this heap-o-advertisements should tell you that no matter what kind of totally awesome art you're most inclined to spend your money on, the Internet can deliver with speed and verve!

=======================================================

Man, oh, man, is it ever raining! But now I am warm and cozy in my secret lair, and I belatedly realized that I had not made a journal at you fine people since I was given the opportunity to put a swanky header at the top again! Make it so, Internets! Now bring me some sweet, sweet, bullets!

On that headery note, continued mad props go to the fabulous =Sins-Of-Angels for hooking me up with a rockin' sweet three-month subscription -- I had forgotten how much I loved being able to roll around in all the thumbnails and other goodies that it provides!

(Also, I have a shoutbox and stuff now! I have never been sure how to best make use of that space; it is, I think, a bit like Speaker's Corner and a bit like Twitter only the character limit is even smaller.)

Oh yeah! I've got a Twitter, too, like I guess the cool kids do now. But I am a very bad "blogger". I mostly have it to watch the conversations of famous people happen around me, and I only tend to write about things that make me angry. But Adam Savage is there! He is totally my celebrity dreamboat. <3

(Warren Ellis is on there, too, and I am pretty sure that his extensive drinking and general tendencies toward curmudgeonry makes him my spirit animal.)

Haircut, too, I guess? That is not terribly interesting. But it was getting crazy long, and it has said farewell.

I think I lost some weight, too! Hair-weight, though. Because losing real weight would mean surrendering things like applesmoked bacon and I say to you, no, sir. I say unto you that prying said bacon from my cold, dead, fingers would be an achievement for which I doubt you have the stones, as such an action would bring screaming upon your head a fate akin to a mummy's curse, whereupon you would find yourself shamblingly beset by a raving, bacon-starved, corpse who is decidedly even more carnivorous than she was in life.

(Take note, players at home! Barely three paragraphs in and already I have menaced trespassers with the threat of the undead. A threat precipitated by the conceived theft of bacon.)

(It must be Thursday.)

You know, I'm almost certain I started that last bullet point talking about something normal, like a haircut. Perhaps I am just not cut out for it.

So let us instead gossip about Internet things! Miss SDL 2009 is happening, at last, at last! You can find all the juicy details on `RoninsUltramix's journal, but the general gist is very simple: "will you look at all these hot ladies!". The entire Sexy Mafia (with one piddling exception) are present and accounted for here, folks -- not to mention a bevy of other screamingly sexy ladies of all description! Stay tuned if you like things that are awesome!

Let me see. What else is happening?

Ah! Something too big even for bullets!

Otakon comes up in July! It is going to be really close, finance-wise, but I am totally going to try to be there! Are you? We can wait in line together if you were dumb like me and did not pre-register!

We are thinking that ~ConcentrationMoon might be there, with some hot new Lazer Wolf merch, and maybe he'll bring ~ToxicToothpick with him again, that could be fun. Plus =exileddelusion and =SHADOBOXXER are working on a comic book about vampires and ninjas and zombies, making it the horror trifecta, ~Myrmadon might be lurking about, *Arteche enforces the awesome just about every year, I hear, and =Clairvoire is actually everywhere in the universe simultaneously, so if he is at Otakon, it is because he is also everywhere else, as well as inside all of us.

=BlackLillian and =Garagos are offering some totally awesome commissions to help pay their way there; if you have a few extra bucks, I can heartily recommend them! Once I'm not scrimping my spending money to get me to Baltimore in the first place, I plan on trying to accost them for a little something, myself!

(Don't tell them. We can let my shrieking, monetary, assault from the rafters of the Internet be our little secret.)

*werewolfmali, *NerinokuKai, and =Kirokokori (and I just know that I probably spelled that name wrong, ARGH ARGH) are opening up commissions, as well, for a very different (but no less worthy) cause! Perhaps you prefer the cut of their jib?

_{(Oh! I do commissions, too, but I could hardly blame you if you opted for the aforementioned talented ladies or gentleman instead! Haha. But if you have ever wanted some silly Crow art for your wall - please, do not be shy! Commissioners are the cream in my coffee and the Luke Cage to my Iron Fist! Not to mention the groceries in my icebox!)}

Oh my goodness, but that was some heavy-duty advertising I did up there. Is everyone still here? I do apologize, Internet. It was all for a good cause, I promise! But shameless plugging is certainly not why you wade through all my tl;dr every time. How can I make it up to you?

Ah! I know! One more bullet!

letsbefriends.blogspot.com: This website is not only adorable, but possibly a good way to tell if your friends are robots! I am not going to say that they are definitely a robot if they find nothing adorable about this site, but - you know - you may want to take it under consideration.

You see? Always I am lookin' out for you in the event of infiltration by forerunners of a cold, merciless, robot apocalypse, Internets.

More art is on the way. Mahalo.
