12:07 pm - Rats Plus Angst!
Don't worry, the two aren't related. I completed a minor project last night, which had been waiting around for about six months, since the first time I flaked on it. So, of course, I hate most of it and went into the Art Angst Spiral. I've pulled out of the despair section (mostly) and have entered the grim "guess you'd better get to work" portion instead.
Let's see if it'll last through this day's quota of nonfic writing to become either fiction or visual art. At the moment, yanno, I'm a failure, and merely mediocre at everything, and I ought to have specialized and become really good at something, so as to be marketable. Also, I should be less of a flake. (No, I don't need anyone to come talk me down off anything. This is just a case of the hacks. They happen, usually immediately following completion of a project).
In rat news, I adopted a baby from the shelter about a week ago. He's my dominant-gene rat - standard coat agouti top-eared, or about as wild-type as a domestic rat can be. He's also half the sizeof my biggest older boy, shiny, friendly, and incredibly hyperactive. I have named him Aeneas, as he's a later, unrelated addition to Paris and Hector. Right now I have all three of them out, and have discovered that three rats constitutes a swarm. I have Lap: the Scampering. Photos if I ever remember to take and upload them.
Back to work!

08:21 pm - Rats! Paris and Hector
Many things ongoing. I seem to have managed to work out fitting issues for this year's garb. Apartment is undergoing spring cleaning time, though it'll take a while, given the neglect. I have the attention span of a gnat lately, too. Bento lunches are still good if you do work at home, surprisingly - they make me take a lunch break. Several art pieces in the works, none at all finished. Recently did a purge and reorganize of my deviantart gallery, as well. Elfwood and Epilogue are at this point abandoned and will not be updated due to site policies.
And my breeder sent us an email asking for photos of our rats. So I took him some, and realized that I hadn't shown any of the new boys' pics here yet. So, here are ( Paris and Hector )

09:22 pm - Rattus norvegicus - singular
For the first time in a very long time, I have only one rat. Rosencrantz died this evening, of respiratory problems. It was expected, and Simon seems to be doing well enough alone (he doesn't seem to have noticed the lack of a cage mate).
I'll probably keep my eye out for a pair of youngsters in the near future, though I cannot adopt from the local Humane Society until I've managed to get my Wisconsin driver's license, and I can't do that until I've secured the peculiar and arcane forms they require as proof of address (a lease is not good enough, but they'll take a one month old utility bill. All the other stuff - paychecks, bank statements, mortgage papers - I do not have.
Probably less sad than I should be. Both rats were/are very old, so it's been expected for a while.

01:40 am - What's the life of a man, any more than a leaf?
Or rodent. Lost Odysseus, rat of unknown age and provenance tonight, very quickly. It's a little under a year and a half since I got him from the Humane Society, but I have no idea how old he was then - merely that he was skittish and had been rejected by a python. The remaining boys don't appear to notice a difference.
Back to work.
Current Mood: not okay, for multiple reasons.

04:27 pm - Lo, I have been busy!
Clearly, I won't be updating every day, the way I'd hoped. It's too easy to get distracted by work and other things which must be done. However, I'll try to keep up a reasonably frequent schedule of weird stuff. No promises on specifics, especially since I'm headed to Houston as of Wednesday, and won't be back for a week. In good news, I've finally managed to set up my electronics shelves and will be able to disassemble the big printer and also scan the pre-Gencon work I've been sitting on.
I haven't added many new projects to my roster at the moment, at least, not ones that are at a point for blogging about. Therefore, have some photos of something I've already done! ( Wardrobe trunk! )
