Quickie blinked.  "Where did you--nevermind," she took the magazine, holding it as if it at arms' length with the tips of her fingers as if it were a diseased carcass. She dropped it sopping into the garbage can, then went to find a bathroom so that she could wash her hands.

Hopefully he does more conventions and comes around here sometime.

Caught Mabel mid-yawn.

Whoops!  I misread.  Thanks for catching that.

That is super awesome!  Where'd you meet him at?

And here's Mabel, grumpy as usual.



She doesn't like me taking her picture, apparently. :P

I like snow, and I like shoveling snow.  Great exercise! 8D

I also like storms.  And rain.  The sound of rain is so very relaxing.  Nothing like curling up under the covers and listening to the rain outside.

I heard that it's caused by fires in Sumatra.  When a similar thing happened here (fires in Quebec), people stayed inside, mostly, and were told to limit outdoor activities, particularly if they have asthma.  Hopefully a change in the weather patterns will help clear so e of that up.

Love the background in the last one.  It has an animation screenshot feel to it.

And lol, Sonic Tomb Raider.

I'll first draft up a flyer listing my prices, and then a contract that details what goes into each price.  Prices would sometimes vary, as I may not need to run to the store at that time.  This time, though, I needed supplies, and the closest store is over forty miles away.  I'm in a bit of a spot, then, as I need to charge for mileage.

Just stumbled across this while random-paging on Bulbapedia for something to edit.  Legit?  If the information presented is wrong, let me know with a source and I will happily add it to my edit count. :D

Also, dat hair.

Well, I did mention them.  Have them drop in.  If they knew Mewtwo was in trouble, they'd help out.  They parted on good terms.

I have another commission for a kickstarter lined up, currently, so that pic will need to wait. XD

Giovanni just gaped at the liquor cabinet for a long moment.  He made his way to the door in a sopping daze and nodded to his secretary upon exiting.  "Deborah, hold my calls.  I'm leaving for the evening."

Deborah blinked at Giovanni. "What ha--"

"Don't ask," Giovanni cut her off as he headed to the door, "just... don't ask."

This was my very first commission in a long time, so I was quite nervous.  From now on, though, I intend to draft up contracts.

Where did you see that?

And honestly... it would depend on the t-shirts.  Would I be getting t-shirts of my design?  Could I also have other t-shirts?  And how much beef jerky?  Are you giving me a big crate of it?

Mewtwo stared at Ahrzayl, having detected the event, but he did not intrude.  He broadened his telepathic range to include Ahrzayl. "We should combine our forces and find a way out of here."

Meanwhile, elsewhere...

Giovanni had just finished a meeting with Jessie, James, and their Meowth.  Those three dunderheads had been waiting outside of his office for an hour, waiting to speak with him.  He wasn't entirely sure about what, as he didn't pay much attention.  Something about a Pikachu.  Giovanni groaned as he tidied his desk.  "I don't even want that Pikachu..."

His intercom beeped and he answered it, his secretary on the other end.  "Sir, should I order a uniform in size triple-x-small?"

"What?"

"For Meowth," his secretary answered, "he said that you'd put in an order for a uniform."

Giovanni groaned again.  This is what happens when he doesn't pay attention.  He shook his head.  "Whatever.  Order it."

"Right away, sir," his secretary closed the connection.

Giovanni rubbed his temples with both hands.  Now he was ordering uniforms for Pokemon.  That Meowth is going to look ridiculous, but he really could not bring himself to give any more of a damn.  Let those three have their fun.  Let them go after that stupid Pikachu.  It keeps them busy and out of his hair.

Heaving a sigh, Giovanni's eyes wandered to the liquor cabinet.  A nice scotch sounded quite good right about now...

(All yours, Pyro. :P)

Yeah, with a limited programming knowledge, it doesn't leave a lot of options open to you.  There are Java jobs available, but you would need to take and pass a test at the interview, and the job may have absolutely nothing to do with games.

You could freelance.  It wouldn't pay a lot, but it would be a bit of money coming in.  Look around for indie devs who are in need of a programmer.

While the company would prefer that you represent each console equally, there is no harm in taking a customer aside and telling them truthfully that something blows chunks, so long as you offer alternatives based on their interests, which you can usually discern from what they originally wanted to buy.  I've been able to talk frankly with EB and Gamestop employees before.  They may work for the store, but many of them are still gamers, and they are often willing to discuss their products, even if that product bites.

Salaries and wages are far easier to deal with than commissions.  

I want to take on more commissions, but I will need to draft up a contract that will bind the client to a legal agreement, so I don't have to negotiate my rates.  It will list in order each of my expenses, from parts to labor, that way they know what they're paying for.

And art supplies are not cheap.  My gray brush pens cost $22, and Bristol board usually runs me around $12-15 a pad.  And I tend to buy in bulk, so as not to run out, particularly my pens and pencils.  I go through non-photo blue pencils and Pigma Micron liners like Kleenex.

I hate watching Let's Plays of games that I played, as I scream at the idiot player who can't figure out the the right-click buttom in Which: Hearts and Minds is to CROUCH, not dance, you moron!  My god, stop roaming aimlessly and CROUCH to look in the bottom cupboards!  GO SEARCH THAT ROOM FOR THE GODDAMN KEY, YOU IDIOT!  This isn't that hard, stop wasting our time!

Anywho...

Last night's Conclave campaign ended with the site being slow and laggy, so I never got the party invite I was waiting for.  Remember, kids...  Lag kills.
