(no subject)
You know, Jimmy John's is strangely non-filling for meaty sandwiches with heavy bread. I don't quite understand why that is but I was starving when I went there yesterday and even though it was more than enough sandwich to satisfy I never quite stopped being hungry the rest of the night.
I posted this to my Deviant Art page yesterday as well while dilly-dallying between pages (don't worry, got all my work done, and about to get started on more today):

I've said something along these lines before, but that was like 3 years ago so it bears mentioning again: Faving without commenting is A-ok in my book. I'm still completely boggled by the people who think that faving without commenting is some kind of insult and that people owe them a comment for the priviliege of adding a picture to their favorites. How egotistical is that? It's fucking arrogant is what it is, and has turned me off to a particular artist that used to be on my watch list. It's a sour and selfish attitude and people should have more appreciation for the fans of their work.
After all, sometimes the only thing a person has to say about a picture is, "Wow! I really like that!" and simply favoriting a picture gets that point across loud and clear. It's a compliment all by itself and doesn't require further commentary if the viewer doesn't feel it necessary. I wish I got more comments, but instead of getting pissy with people who don't comment on my pictures maybe I should instead look at myself and work harder to produce work that is worth commenting on. People who deserve comments get comments whether or not they demand them from their viewers.
I mean, I even saw some guy who actually compared faving without commenting to barging into your house and just stealing a picture without saying a word. Buddy, you already shared your pictures with the world, these people are only setting up a shortcut so that they can further appreciate your art at a future time. It is so fucking ungrateful to sneer at them just because they didn't take a little more time to stroke your precious ego first.

I uploaded Linburger preview pages to my deviantart as well, figured it wouldn't hurt to start making use of that place again to keep a bit of self-pluggery going on and get Slipshine another subscription or two. Doing a little bit of drawing every day instead of taking weeks off, overloading myself, taking more weeks off is making the urge to draw come around a little more frequently, so maybe I'll actually start doing it in my spare time again. Wouldn't that be something!
I also found an almost completely unused sketchbook that I had lost like six months ago. I keep forgetting to carry it around with me everywhere though. I want to try and get that habit going again.
I have gone something like 10 days now without smoking. I'm not getting as jittery as I was around this time last week, though I've been having bouts of insomnia. For four days straight I couldn't sleep more than four hours at a time. Last night I managed to get six. Hopefully things will get easier from here on out.
Day 7 of The Schedule starts in 20 minutes.
Didn't I used to be funny in this journal? Or did I only try to be funny? I don't really remember.
