Another life update thing. by sirkain

Heya folks. Everyone holding up for the most part in the current events?


Been tough for me to stay home for week(s) at a time. So I have been going out now and then to at least drive, see a friend once in a while at their place to scratch that itch and keep me from being so restless. This isn’t an easy time for us Extroverts. Only so long you can stay in an introvert mode. Since looks like the enforced mask thing is about to hit VA I am getting a decent quality 3D printed one from Rassah that can handle good quality filters in ti to keep me and others safe when having to go out in public.


Since been having to mostly stay put, I have finally finished scanning in all the traditional stuff I owned, with the exception of comics. Those I just plan to take a front cover scan of and put in the bin I have the prints and such in to donate. Not sure how to go about folks seeing all my stuff besides pointing them to my personal Piwigo web page. Everything IS there, but it isn't the easiest thing to search for specific pics or tags. And its a hell of a lot for me to really care to upload to the art sites. We are talking close to 1000 images and to figure out descriptions for them all. I don't really feel like torturing myself. :P


Got a lot more TV shows and movies in my collection, and have Plex tuned well to stream it to friends (a free streaming program for your shoes, movies and music collections). And earlier tonight I finally got a system down to give text file listings of what all I got for the times I can stream, to people on Picarto or discord and let folks request what they would like to see when I can do that. Forum as well! I do miss doing that with folks.


As for drawing? Heh nope. Not yet. Once I get the house and income situation rolling by end of month (if all goes right), I will get on that. Need to be far less stressed and restless to be able to focus and relax enough to want to draw.


The house is about 90-95% emptied out upstairs. In a day or two max its all done and than can then get folks in here to replace carpets, and me fix the other issues before put (back) on the market to rent out. Not sure how fast folks will wanna move in the current situation we are all in. But a rental we got in the business is having dozens requesting to see it and move in an hour south of here. So who knows?


While going through the piles of stuff (junk) I have collected over the decades I came across most of my CD and DVD collection from 1996 onward. Found a LOT of forgotten/missing videos and art, most of the videos from kaincons and anthrocons. One was a special one to me where AnthroCOn2002 was a con I wasn't sure I’d live to see since a week or so before it is when I was in the hospital learning the hard way I was a type 1 diabetic. The con wasn't going well since I got there a day late thanks to an ignorant security person at the airport making me miss my flight… I was about to say to hell with furry cons and never go again, and when had a party in my hotel rooms with the doors open Herbie Hamill/Bearclaw just appears. Got to have a cool interview with him for over half an hour that's been recorded. He is a Disney animator that worked on a handful of movies like The Lion King, Lilo and Stitch... Thanks to him that turned my moods around and kept going to cons since. Amazing fellow.


Guess that's it for this update. You all be safe out there and keep in touch!

Another life update thing.

    Nice to find the CDs and DVDs. Hope you rip them to retain on better media!
