Last night I was working on the decks and thinking about the upcoming ELE party I am going to be playing at. During the time I was spinning I wondered why it is that more people I know who are con-goers don't attend these events. Truthfully, I was skeptical at first but with the reassurance and help from some friends (namely grayson and brent) I was able to quickly change my mind on that. So, this goes out to everyone who has heard of but has not attended an Elliot's live event in Flordia. What are the major factor(s) that keep you from attending one of these events?
Last night, xbox live started being not retarded with the whole buying points thing so I picked up the full version of the Penny-arcade game. I've yet to play beyond the demo but Dire picked it up and seems to throughly enjoy the ever living shit of out it. If that isn't an endorsement then I don't know what is. Chuck Norris approves. As for me, I am going to play it too, but mass effect comes first *wags*
I'm eating a donut, and it is srs taste for a srs fox. *wags more*
This last week has put me in a really playful mood. I'm not sure why but I just wanna pounce, snuggle and curl around the head of everyfur I see. Tis a good feeling. This also comes with me just wanting to wear my fursuit around and do things like that too. Sadly, I'm stuck here at work doing yet another timing run. These last twenty picoseconds are always the hardest ;_;
I've got a trip-hop station going on pandora and I <3 it. Srs fox needs srs beats *wags tail lots*Current Mood:  energetic Current Music: Evolution - Walking on Fire (Ambient mix) |

ANOTHER IMPORT ALBUM THAT I HAD NO IDEA WAS RELEASED!
One of my fav Japanese punk bands, Balzac released a new album called "Hatred: Destruction = Construction".
Normally I'm explosively excited about a new Balzac album 'cause it usually has at least one or two songs that blow me the hell away and makes me go "Holy SHIT this kicks ass!", but the new single...
Please, please tell me they didn't go USA-crap pop "punk". The skeleton outfits are gone, and that makes me a very sad Balzac fan. It's an alright song, but they can do a hell of a lot better than this.
To compare this to what they normally sound like, this is the song that made me go out and buy their first USA-released album, then go back through and snag some imports:
Like night and day, literally.
I'm still giving the album a shot and hopefully it'll have some hellishly better songs than this.Current Mood:  geeky |

Picked up new lights and bar ends for the g-ride. I rode the trails tonight, starting at 8:30 p.m., and rode the entire 23 miles with only one of two lights on. <3 Both wide and narrow on at the same time just makes it obscene.
Otherwise I also made a repair stand out of PVC. Although I am going to replace the holding tube because it's ghetto rigged to all hell, the stand does its job. Found the design on a DIY page; saved myself $80+ :D
50ish mile ride this weekend!

Hiyas,
I apologize for my post earlier today. I try not to use my LJ for emo as that's so overdone, but everyone gets down once in a while and today I was in a pit.
Even though we are past AC now, I'm still under a bit of stress to accomplish certain things. We've also been suffering continuing issues with one of our colour printers. The repair guy has been out twice already. We may have just gotten a bad batch of ink though. Time will tell when we run a test with another batch.
I was so down today I decided to take a break from KnotCast this evening. Both Damien and I will be missing this episode, but I hear a token female will help out the remaining cast to answer non-topical e-mails till the husky and I return next week. Sorry guys, I didn't feel like being funny today and I definately do not want any of my issues to affect how I am on the show and I didn't feel like faking it.
I had intended to just come home and sleep, but as I felt a bit better as the day wore on I ended up getting some much-needed tidying done in the production room. I've still got a lot of paperwork and receipts to go through, but at least now it is all in a limited number of boxes rather than strewn across my desk and I can take them a box at a time. I feel pretty good about the production room being neater now.
Oh and I got a nice surprise in the mail today. My credit card imprinter arrived from the bank today. Whee, I feel like a real company now. *wags* If anyone paid me with a credit card at AC, you'll remember how primitive it was. At least now I'll have a little gadget to make a perfect imprint of the cards for me. It'll be a time-saver at future cons. Especially AC. Good grief, I don't recall taking so many cards last year! I especially noticed it on Sunday and a couple of people admitted they were holding onto their remaining cash for the cash-only dealers and using cards wherever they could. So, yeah taking credit cards should be quite the advantage. Next year I think I'll actually put up the little Visa/Mastercard sign.
I should get going to bed now. Thanks for all the well-wishes on my earlier post today. The little flood of hugs and heh heh, offers, made me feel a lot better and probably helped my afternoon turn out brighter.Current Mood:  accomplished |

Subject to Change

There is a reason I always use the term, Subject to Change, when talking about my job. Here is another one.
So, Friday, instead of driving into Chicago and catching a bus from there, I will be driving into Milwaukee and catching a bus from there to Eau Claire. Hey, that rhymes!
Then, on Saturday, August 2nd, I will be taking a red-eye from Vancouver to Houston, then fly into Milwaukee that Sunday morning. Thankfully, the bus station is only about 10 miles from the airport. Or, I can always convince baconcoyote or little_wolf to play taxi and/or offer a place for me to park my car for a week. ^.^
We'll see how this all goes. Hopefully this is the last major issue. |

I commissioned SpazzyKoneko for a dangly as a gift for a friend and paid upfront for it. This was a little more than two months ago and seems to have cut off all contact ever since.
I've tried to contact her thru several venues (emails, notes, etc) with no response - and have heard from acquaintances of mine that she has been spotted as recently a week ago.
Now,I know she's probably a really good person, and rather talented as well. First, I hope she's ok; secondly, I hope that if someone knows her might ask her, on my behalf, not to forget about the commission since it was a b-day gift for a friend.
Thanks in advance. |

How the HELL do you write a letter to someone who's been keeping you waiting for three-four months shy of two years for a two-part commission, that... you don't give a fig about anymore - you don't want your money back - you just want to you know, float on? No bad blood, no nothing, I ain't gonna report them to this comm or anywhere else either.
How the HELL do you write something like that and not (I repeat: not) have it sound like you're attempting to guilt the artist into actually doing it? At the end of my rope here, everything I've thought of/written sounds like a greasy excuse for 'pity art'.
EDIT: I just want to forget it, I want her to forget it too (completely, no hint of my being an afterthought) and it seems even more regretful to come here for advice since it seems people are more ready for claws/teeth/emo-woe. This is a way to kill any sort of miscommunication (the biggest issue here in this community ever! OH MY GOD I want to fix that, how dare I attempt it, right?), so she doesn't assume I'm still out there on a limb.
ANYWAY I've already attempted to explain my weird ways already. Take it or leave it.
I don't want it. The glittery goods she offers don't appeal to me period now.
I don't get anyone else here who doesn't seem to get that I'm just done, and there are just some points in life where you're just done fighting or attempting to start one, and a frosty air of 'forget it, not worth it to get my goods or my money back' can do more damage than a clusterfuck of emoflaming in my opinion.Current Mood: irate that I can't write Current Music: Double & Namie Amuro - BLACK DIAMOND |

LITTLE ROCK, July 24, 2007: Paw Recognize Paw Capital Markets reiterates its OUTPERFORM rating on neopantyger (FFFF:NPT) and scape_the_goat (FFFF:STG), and maintains its target for both companies at $32 per share. PRP Capital expects both NPT and STG to quadruple in value in the coming weeks from their current price of $8 per share, which reflects earnings of three consecutive quarters. Earnings are expected to increase by 67% over the next two quarters, extending the uptrend to five consecutive quarters, in line with previously stated guidance.
"NPT and STG are excellent characters with excellent performance skills that have delivered excellent results in the furry marketplace. Both characters have highly demanded core competencies, and their performers have friendly value sets and are excellent fandom citizens both in and out of fursuit," writes Buck T. Tiger, Chief Furnancial Analyst at PRP Capital.

Saab

Today I drove my Saab for the first time in over a month. I must say it's a completely different experience when I'm so used to driving the Weasel.
The Saab feels huge and ungainly. Sure, it's speedy and responsive, but it handles nothing like the Weasel does, and being in the giant enclosed space is a bit... what's the opposite of claustrophobic? Whatever that is, is how my Saab feels. Kind of odd considering I'm saying a convertible feels cozier, but it does.
Of course, I reached for the clutch, and the steering column for the keys when I parked. Driving it felt more like I was just pointing it where I wanted to go instead of actually driving like I do in the Weasel. The Saab is too simple to operate. I feel detached, not just in the lack of a stickshift, but in everything about it.
If I could just keep the Weasel for year round use and sell the Saab, I might. Thing is, though, my father would kill me, because the loan on the Saab is in his name and I'm paying him back for it (that was his idea of a graduation gift). So that's not really feasible.
Anyway... I miss the Weasel but my Saab needs to be driven once a month. That, and it looked like it was going to rain (but of course it isn't yet)Current Mood:  okay |

Amadameus just notified me that he's not gonna be able to give me the ride i'd need to the campsite!
i know it's a crunch, but if anyone can give me a ride to the campgrounds, i'd really apreciate it. i was set to pay him half his gas bill for the ride, so i'm extending that as well as my original offer to give first dibs on the breakfast i'm gonna prepare.
i live in Des Plaines, only about 55 miles east of the campgrounds. i CAN get to a landmark if you'd prefer that.
please, PLEASE! ANYONE! i need a ride!
if you think you can give me a ride, email me at celt-wolf@hotmail.comCurrent Mood:  nervous |

So this is the Ohio furry place, and I'm an Ohioan (Clevelander, westside) so naturally I should check this all out. Always up to meet new people, especially those near me. I enjoy hyenas, the zoo when it is free on Mondays, the Metroparks, going to the bars/clubs in Lakewood, visiting Coventry and hanging around University Circle.
I like to think I am a pretty approachable friendly person - so if you want to say hi, go ahead, I don't mind. I welcome =)

I regularly do research on HIV studies, just to see how medications and treatment methods are coming along. Recently, I read that "an increase in the number of Floaters" is a symptom of the onset of HIV. As I was modeling last night, I constantly saw the little buggers flickering in and out of my vision. I know quite well that it was because I had to sit quietly with my eyes open and a light shining down into my peripheral vision, but still... I look at them and think of them as the tiny, transparent Harbingers of Doom.
Another symptom is sudden weight loss. I think about dropping from 185 to 170... but then I remember that I lost all that weight over the course of several months, filled with constant exercise, changing my diet, and making EFFORTS to lose weight.
I'm getting tested as soon as I get back to NIU, just for good measure. I've done nothing that could possibly put me as risk, but it always leaves one thinking. The 0.01% chance of a condom failing. The Theoretical Possibility of becoming infected through tongue kissing. If the nurses who took my blood were competent enough to use a fresh needle, or did they use another, just thinking that no one would notice.
It's like graphing X^-1 ... It will continually approach zero, becoming small enough to be considered zero... but will never truly be ZERO. The only true Zero one can reach is abstinence for six months and then getting tested.
Besides, HIV isn't the death sentence it used to be. Just a lifestyle adjustment. A new way of living life.
But... I like the life I have now.
(PS - Side note, I haven't taken any risks and do NOT have HIV. I just have too much time to think when I have to hold a pose for 2 hours.)Current Music: "The Path is Open (P4 Version)" - Persona 4 OST |
