The Monkey And The Plywood Violin

Our heroine gets access to LiveJournal back. Just when I've actually started wanting to post again, the hackers thwart me.

Finished all my art last week; I'll get to show it to you come GenCon, when the pdf gets released. I'm pretty pleased with how things came out - lots of nice Victorian-style cross hatching and some definite objective improvement. Now I need to finish my day's writing quota. Donwanna. Wanna sew wrap pants. Wanna play item shop simulator/watch anime/draw more things.

But before that, food. Lack of appetite is getting ridiculous from the standpoint of someone who has always loved food. I added things up, and I've eaten about 1300 cal today by a generous estimate. I usually do between 2000 and 2500. Longstanding food crazy tells me that if I can come up with a way to avoid eating, I should do it, but that voice is stupid and will wreck my metabolism worse than random teenage fasting did. So, let's try to make sure we get 1500 to 1800 in before the day closes out, shall we, meat?

In other news, 2 quarts of black raspberries/mulberries, a lot of sugar, and the juice and peel of one lime turns into a pretty decent jam if you hit it with the stick blender and cook it down a bit. Apparently I can batch cook just fine; I just don't want to actually eat anything.

Onward, to Oblivion!

I need to make new laundry detergent, and it is clearly time to de-flotsom my living space.

So, I've had a number of artistic crises recently (you know, the "oh, god, what am I doing?" variety) and have been too twitchy to do anything fully rendered. Apparently this results in fan art for shows I only sort of watch. ( Gintoki from Gintama )
