Haven't posted anything in a while. I haven't been to any photo-worthy events or sketched anything in a while, so no content to upload. Been somewhat busy since Thanksgiving, though. This past year Ben and I decided we were in a good enough place financial-wise to look into buying a house and stop…
Did a little trim of my Watch list, people who haven't posted anything in years, if at all.
Everything seemed like it would go smoothly for attending Anthrocon this year. I booked a hotel room. I found some roomies to share the hotel room and costs. I got time off for the convention weekend with enough buffer for me to prepare beforehand and decompress afterwards before returning to work.…
On Wednesday, April 12th I drove up to Portland, Maine for Furcationland. I stopped by the Hannafords supermarket on Forest Ave, near Back Cove and bought a couple of cases of Coke and Sprite, a package of Oreos. They were out of Moxie so I drove to the Shaw's supermarket further down Congress St.…
I'm still alive. Just haven't been as creative lately. Maybe I need a recharge. Maybe I need a small notepad for doodling. We'll see what Furcationland holds, in a few weeks.
For the first time in several years I have been able to return to Pittsburgh for some sunny, summery, furry fun at Anthrocon. It's been a while since I attended even a local fur meet; I was feeling rather withdrawn and disconnected from the fandom, so I was happy to be able to recharge my social ba…
I haven't posted any art, photos or journal in quite some time. Well, part of it was lack of photographic opportunities. The other part was feeling too stressed and drained to do anything creative. I'm trying to change that. I hope to be able to allocate some time to work on something, anything, an…
I haven't been overly creative the last few months. I've got ideas, for pictures, song parodies, photos, etc. I just haven't had an overlap of freetime and creative spark to work on them. Otherwise, life is good. I got my credit card debt paid off a few months ago. I'd done some balance transfers a…
Just a general post as I haven't uploaded anything in a while. Still working IT for the small company in Maine. Still dealing with the pandemic. I quit my gym. Nothing against them, I just can't run much on the treadmill while wearing a mask. Running outside isn't easy with the winter weather and t…
Just a general post, hoping my friends are doing fine. Life hasn't been bad here in Maine. The weather's been good so I've been able to get out and take some photos of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and even the Neowise comet. I might upload some of the pics, even though they aren't furry.
Just had a week off from work. Would ordinarily have gone to Anthrocon, but thanks to large numbers of Americans who are too selfish to wear a mask or stay indoors, the pandemic has not gone away and cons are cancelled. I couldn't do most of the activities I planned, because the weather sucked for…
I haven't uploaded anything in a while, so just posting a small life update. The weather's turning from summer to autumn, my favorite time of year. I'm still at my current job, and still frustrated with managements' work style and making me come in far too early in the morning. I haven't hiked near…
Friend of mine, WolvenTerror, recorded my Therian Howl at PFC last month. With his permission I uploaded it to YouTube in case anyone was interested.
My convention experience was a little different this time. I had done volunteering at :PineFurCon and Anthrocon in 2018, but this was my first year as full on Staff. I kept pretty busy the entire time and had a lot of fun doing so. I liked being productive and had a greater feeling of accomplishmen…
I know I haven't uploaded anything in a while, not since Anthrocon. Not dead or disappeared, just hadn't taken as many pictures since then that were furry-related. Life is going well, the job stress levels have been up and down, but it's just cause my office relies on me for so much. I do have more…
I had a lot of plans for this year's Anthrocon and while I didn't get to check off everything on my ToDo list or even take that many photos (compared to prior years), I still had a lot of fun. For the first time, I didn't go to any panels. I didn't attend 's reading. I missed all the therian-relate…
I've uploaded the photos from the convention. As usual, I split them among my galleries, so you can see more at DeviantArt: PFC18 Gallery FurAffinity: PFC18 Gallery My policies: I respect the autonomy of my subjects. If you don't like the photo or change your mind and don't want your face/name show…
It was a fun weekend overall, but not without some minor gaffes. Nothing serious, more in the "amusing anecdote" vein. There were a few panels I thought I'd attend as they were being done by friends of mine, but I naively assumed they'd be held on a Saturday or Sunday. So when I finally check the s…
Yesterday was a bit of a hectic day. I woke up to find the apartment building next door was on fire and belching lots of yellow/black smoke. And by next door I mean "the building on the other side of a six-foor alley from my bedroom window" The building on the other side suffered some damage to the…
I put this off for too long. When I attend a con or meet and take a lot of photos, I spend weeks agonizing over them, trying to decide which few to upload. I don't want to flood my galleries and will pick ones based on quality of the pic and interesting subject matter. But I worry that I took photo…
Another summer and another year that I was fortunate enough to attend Anthrocon, despite many worries about being able to go. First, I spent nearly all of 2016 unemployed and money was getting tight. Then, when I did get employment, wasn't 100% sure I'd be able to take the time off. I consider myse…
So it's official. Last Thursday I was given paperwork to fill out (W4s, I9s, etc) and retroactive to Monday 15th I am officially a fulltime worker and not an outsourced temp. I'm not done with my staffing agency yet. I still need to find out what happened to the missing $1.50/hr extra the company t…
For a few months now I've been working as the IT person for a small mental health place in southern Maine. Technically I was working through a staffing agency. The supervisor had mentioned a few times that she'd like to hire me on, once they came to an arrangement with the agency. This week she sai…
It's been a rough couple of months, money-wise, since my last temp job ended abruptly last September. But things improved. In early January, one of the staffing agencies had a data entry job starting in a few weeks, with the possibility of continuing further. Interestingly enough, this agency was t…
Got a message from one of the Weasyl admins that they were removing some of my submissions. They were very nice about it, letting me know and giving me a list. Unlike FurAffinity who just purged without warning. The reason provided was that there are standards of quality. Photos shouldn't be too bl…
I do apologize for the delay in getting these photos up. I could blame the temp job I started in late July but the truth is I suffer from procrastination and low energy. I hope you enjoy these photos. I know I'm not the best photographer so welcome any feedback, suggestions or criticism, especially…
Sunday, the last day of the con (mostly). I told myself I'd do a lap of the Dealer's Den, see if there was anything worth spending my dwindling money on. For me it's kind of a tiered system, ranging from stuff I have to buy down to indulgences and stuff that is nice but I didn't think I'd really us…
Another awesome day. I idled away the noontime by finishing the Survey, then joined to watch the Fursuit parade. I didn't bother taking video this year, opting to just snap the occasional photos. Right after this was my second commitment, 's fursuit photo shoot. I felt honored that he was trusting…
Friday was a pretty busy day for me. Around noon I escorted to a nearby AT&T store to get a SIM card for his phone. The clerk knew we were attending Anthrocon and we chatted about it for a bit. On the way back I found some new art, the Strawberry Way mural. It was a rather random looking colorful m…
Another summer, another Anthrocon. And I almost bailed on it this year. Mostly cause of money. With no job and wanting to earmark my small income from Unemployment and Temp jobs to important expenses like rent and food, could I really justify the cost? For the last few years I have been trying to k…
I have no excuse. Sure I moved, but I'm damn unemployed, it shouldn't have taken this long to get them up. I had thought about just posting a few photos and put the rest on photobucket or something. I dunno, wouldn't want anyone to feel bad that photos of them ended up at a virtual children's table…
My platonic friend Ben and I moved to Biddeford at the end of February. I've been busy the last few weeks with cleaning, unpacking and finding places to put stuff. And this place really needed some work. I hope to get caught up on the internet side of things soon, and post some belated AnthroNewEng…
My original plans for attending ANE got derailed by being fired. I decided not to go, not just due to money concerns, but I was in a bit of a funk and didn't want to bring anyone else down. Ben was going to drive down on Friday for his author panel, hang around for a bit, then drive back to Maine.…
Got fired today.
I will be attending AnthroNewEngland this year. I was able to get the time off and roomshare. I will likely be driving down and will have room for anyone who wants to carpool.
Sorry it took....about four damn months. The photos are up. If anyone who is in the photos would like a copy for their own gallery, feel free to ask. I'm generally fine with it as long as I get credit and a link back. Additional photos on my FA and dA:
I've finally gotten off my butt and sorted and uploaded some photos from Wanny's visit to Maine before attending Anthrocon. I split them up between my galleries. The rest can be seen on my Furaffinity and deviantArt accounts. Feedback is always welcome.
Back around XMas I was wandering a Dollar store and saw a cheap kit to make a car look like one of Santa's reindder, it had antlers you could put on the roof, a red nose for the front. I thought, why not something like that for something more furry. A tail you can attach to your trunk, some ears wi…
This is a report of both Anthrocon, and what I'd call WanCon as it starts a few weeks before the actual convention, when Wanny: came to visit. He had some vacation time and wanted to spend a few weeks in the U.S., partly cause he likes meeting friends from online, and partly cause Chile is fucking…
Falling by RunningRed NightBringer Falling...falling...falling. Falling from the Moon to the Earth. Down, down, down. Nose pointed forward, feet pointed towards home. Arms crossed over where your heart once was. How far can you fall? How fast can you dive? Falling like a rock. Like a teardrop? Are…
It occurs to me that scent is probably the most powerful of the five basic**1** senses animals possess. Granted, it can vary from person to person and from species to species. My sense of taste is not as refined as that of a professional chef, but I am the only person in my immediate family who doe…
Only three more days of work, then Christmas vacation! I'll have Thursday 18th through Sunday 28th off (with a small interruption to work 12/26). I'll spend part of that time in Mass, visiting folks for the holidays but would like to hang out with any local furs who are free in Maine, NH or Mass ar…
I'm updating some of my social media lists and decided to poke back here and check my Friend lists. And realized, while I was Friended to people, I hadn't been Following most of them, so I didn't see any submissions. And I of course had to check my Friends' Friends to see if I recognized any other…
I finally have the photos up. As with the Anthrocon2014 photos, I split the selection between my galleries, with some overlap for photos I thought should be on all sites. For more photos from this trip, please visit my DA or my FA
So Ben had a great plan for his August vacation this year: use a motel in the Franconia Notch region of New England as a base of operations to visit more hiking and scenic opportunities than could be done on single day trips. He consented to allow me to join him on this expedition. Our first mornin…
I finally avoided procrastination long enough to finish sorting and naming my con photos/videos. I was going to cross-post all of them to FurAffinity and here, but realized this would be tedious. So I think i'll post half here and half there, except maybe some like the swag pics, or pics that link…
Anthrocon was a lot of fun this year. Sure there were things I wish I had done, people I wish I had met, naked bodies I wish I had snuggled. Overall, no complaints. It's just everything that happened afterwards that wore me down, and mostly why I haven't had the energy to get back to social media l…
I'm sorry I haven't included any submissions yet. I meant to upload some hiking photos, but ran out of time. I do intend to cross-post some photos/vids from the upcoming Anthrocon visit.
OK, I've finally gotten around to adding an Avatar pic. Should really look at getting a new one, I've had the same one for my social media for months and it's gotten old. So what do I put here? What content will Weasyl allow? What will I want to share? So many new opportunities.
