    Meh no wind on the bay today, glassy seas, two knots on the way out and 6 on the way in. If the local lake wasn't silted up we would have done better there :lol: 86 F again, those are my complaints.

    Early morning headache and nausea. Showered and dressed, and feeling much better now, thanks.

    i'm trying to decide on my content creator job hours. my day job hours are technically 8:30 to 4:30.

    but ... it's saturday.
    but but, my content creator job is supposed to be semi-retirement. i think 10:00 to 15:00 would be better. a nice 5 hour work day with a coffee break. don't wanna burn-out. lol

    maybe first day on the job i should pull a double shift.

    any other job i would write up a statement of work. and a service level agreement.

    i should move all my half done projects to nearline storage and start fresh.


    okay. alright. so. hmm. skipping employee orientation. where to start? coffee. :)

    okay. again. hmmm. i don't need a name tag. no car, don't need an assigned parking space.

    w9?

    oh, okay. starting point -
    lessee, my top favorite sets in the store ---
    can't explain it, i luv the Summer Siesta.
    and Mediterranean Patio
    picking 2 more --
    Fairytale Cottage
    Ole Bakery

    favorite game art --
    FFVIII - FFXII
    Baldur's Gate
    Star Ocean 2nd Story

    tumbling all that around for a mental image
    absorbing mental image of baby Gary Busey lol :0

    Wages have been going down for 3D artists for a while now, can basically hire two modellers for what one cost a decade ago here.

    It's harsh. Dreamworks is laying off, and Rythym and Hues filed for bankruptcy. Now is a crappy time to be a VFX artist, it seems. :down: Lots of VFX houses will stellar talent have gone under in the past few years..

    And I suspect it's going to get worse...

    Saturday morning and a balmy 42f here.. shoulld warm up to around 70f in the late afternoon.

    Super sunny and bright, though, even if it's nippy! :)

    Tons of running around to go, things to pack and ship, things to take to Goodwill, maybe sell a thing or two.. then home for beer, salami and extra-shart cheddar! :coolsmile:

    Tomorrow is official INTASLL STUFF DAY - going to install all the content I bought last week, re-install all my DIgital Carvers Guild Carrara plugins, install some software development tools, then just actually rest up for next week when I finish emptying this place and prepare to move! :bug:

    I'm definitely ready for a few weeks of drama-free living so I can focus on my arts. Urgh.

    Reminds me, gotta check my DeviantArt account and make sure it's still active... meh..

    I think the controller for the Playstation 4 comes with a touch pad. Also, the console has a powerful processor. That is all that I have heard.

    I tried to send an email from a webmail service but I don't think the site sent the message. I don't think the site saved my draft either. Looks like I need to switch webmail providers.

    I don't have one. I tried a couple of years ago and it told me that there was already a DanaTA there. Someone stole my username! I am DanaTA everywhere, and have been since I first started getting on forums...around 1995 or 1996, when I joined the forum at UniversalThread.com, which at the time was a Visual FoxPro forum. The only exception is my own site, which doesn't have a forum...there I'm just Dana.

    My DeviantArt is TheSerpentsFeather, since FeatheredSerpent was already taken (grr!) and I wanted to keep it sepeerate from my Woolyloach persona. I put my more erotic works there,, both art and writing. :red: :red:

    Not this Camden, I think http://www.camden.gov.uk/

    ...for me the borough in London seems more preferable to a corporate managed apartment community in Florida.

    Been to Florida, didn't feel there was anything special about it. Flat, hot & humid a good part of the year, bugs, gators, obnoxious tourists, hurricanes, bad motorists...

    if only i could make like 2grand a month making content. then i could semi-retire

    Nice looking place, there! :)

    Lunch today was DEAD FISH ON A BUN - fried catfish sub with fries. Very very yummy! :cheese: But I'm stuffed and sleepy now.. snzzz...


    It's DEAD FISH ON A BUN
    It's hotter than the Sun!
    The freaking thing is oh so big
    I almost had to run!

    Thar DEAD FISH ON A BUN
    You can't eat more than one!
    Chow right down with crunching sound
    The nomming is so fun!

    :)

    ...one of the Milwaukee traditions I miss are the Friday All you can eat DEAD FISH FRYs.

    Lovely breaded pan fish fillets served with piles of fries. Out here Salmon is the big thing and I can't eat salmon. Midwest game fish like perch, walleye, and lake sturgeon are also very expensive here as they have to be "imported".

    The other thing I miss is smoked whitefish chubs. There's a pseudo-kosher deli here in the trendy NW district that charges something like 11$ of a single fish. Back home you could get two or three for that.

    Morning. Warm under a big blue sky today, the only things moving in the hot sun are a small army of ants across the paving in our garden :)

    Don't get me wrong, I like snow, but I couldn't take weeks of it, I do like to see a bit of colour sometimes.

    Then you take food colouring and paint the snow ;)

    My metal picture of Finland during the winter has just changed radically! :coolsmile:

    I thought wolverines and arctic foxes provided plenty of colouration?
    24 different words for "white"... and umpteen for "snow"? ... or is that the Icelanders?

    I suppose you could nom the snow afterwards, after colouring it (`.`)>... *speaking as somebody who is about to go out shopping in 37degC ~_~...*
    ...just avoid the yellow variety.

    ...which makes me wonder why Waldemar is hyping it up so much lately.
