Hello, blog-readers! Wow, half the year is gone already, and what have I got to show for it? Well, a lot of commissions done, for one thing. I admit, I’ve really been slacking off on the blog, and I’m sorry for that, but you know…commissions pay money. And truth be told, having at least a few…

I can safely say I’ve done more karaoke tonight than the rest of my life combined. It was such a blast! Small, intimate group, mostly employees I’ve known for a year or so, and singing songs like I didn’t care what anybody thought. I feel happier now than I’ve felt in years. I gotta do…

So, today has been awesomely productive. Got up, mowed 8 acres, cleaned the black tank, staked trees, got my shower, and am now waiting on laundry to finish washing. Oh, and I got the oil changed somewhere in there, too. Also, I forgot how much I love grapes. Since I moved out of my parents’…

Wow, it’s been way too long. I’m finally at the bar again, and I learned something new today: if you salt a napkin, it won’t stick to your beer mug. Neat! The plans to have the smaller house built fell through: turns out I needed more equity, and it’s a minimum 17 months at my…

I’m going to forgo the whole April Fools’ thing…never been very good at those anyway. But I figured it’s been a while since I last posted, and I’m due. Let’s see… My week off from commissions ends today, so I’ll have to get back into it hot and heavy tomorrow. I haven’t done nearly enough…

I’ve been missing out. Grasshoppers are really good! Alcoholic mint.

Wow, the days are flying by this month! Seems I always think I’m a day behind. I’ve been snowed under with commissions and haven’t had a chance to post. I’m taking a break at the local bar and restaurant. Lookit the green beer! Of course, yours truly forgot that it was St. Patty’s day. Between…

Yay, bar time! It’s karaoke night, they’re giving away $2 fireballs, I’m about halfway through my 1L beer mug and have a couple of Jell-O shots on board…feels good. A thought: in the infinite multiverse, there is a place where schnozberries are the only food. Thoughts to ponder…

Okay, okay, I know, I keep promising I’m gonna get back on here, and then I keep not doing it. Commissions are crazy! I think I mentioned I got 3 new ones last Sunday. Well, I’m revising the last of those, and then those three will be done. But… The one who commissioned the third one also…

So, tonight was supposed to be the night where I played catch-up from having not slept much last night (or last week…). I got into bed and started watching BoJack Horseman (again) and was mostly just kinda winding down when I happened to check my FA account and saw that I had a message from one…

My life is a dichotomy. Now, don’t worry, this isn’t gonna be one of those me-feeling-sorry-for-myself posts. It is, however, introspective, as my posts tend to be. Sorry, no sexiness here. When I was a kid, I used to live two lives: the public “good kid” life, straight-A student, teacher’s pet, would chew you out…

What a day. For the record, I hate the cold. It rained all day and hovered around 32°F until after noon today with wind gusts in the 20s, making for a very cold windchill. For fear of being trapped on icy roads, I ended up teleconferencing with my financial advisor rather than having a face-to-face…

All of this is in preparation for Slave Auction. Things that need to happen: Everybody needs to move to the new house, and M needs to get a lot more slaves. As the first one, slave is M’s head-slave, which explains why he had so much authority in Slave Auction. M needs to get Buck…

Someone so assured, Confidently proceeding, Yet so very lost. His goals all in line, He hastened like an arrow, Missing the best part. Is it too late now, To find a love of my own? It seems so hopeless. Do I deserve love? No, no one deserves to breathe, But yet we all must. I’m…

Idleness is a terrible thing. I told myself I really needed to slow down on commissions and to actually get some sleep at night, but now that I’m out of commissions to do, I don’t know what to do with myself! I blame my parents; they’re both incredibly driven people—in a good way—but being idle…

I just got my official copyright certificates for Shane and Colton and Human-Centaur Relations! Also just finished drafting my next commission, loved on the herd, and am now having a celebratory beer before I start the next commission. Life is good. I know I’ve posted some downer stuff lately, so I figured it was good…

Okay, okay, I know: I’m really remiss in posting on here. One commission turned into another, and between the two, Ive written some 110,000 words. The first commission we decided was good at 30K, and no sooner did I have it finished than I had the details for the next one. I just finished it…
