    My old AOL email was compromised. Somehow spammers got ahold of my contact list about a week ago and began spoofing emails to them. Nothing I can do really... just scanned and cleaned my devices, and deleted the email account I created like, 17 years ago. 17 fucking years ago. Mind blowing.

    (Sorry if you were on a the receiving end of that. Just mark them spam.)

    Portland gets enough rainfall that it was probably full 30 minutes later.

    But rather than dumping it they should have sold it to California. Beggars can't be choosers.

    We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Edward R. Murrow

    The tap water we have in CA tastes worse than what I imagine 38 million gallons diluted with several ounces of piss would taste like. I'll take it.

    I have a general question. Is it unreasonable for me to expect some kind of comment (positive or negative) when I've spent hours working on requested projects for free for someone? I've done five portraits for this person and not one acknowledgement by her so I asked what was up with that and still, nada. So, petty as it might be, I deleted all the work I did for her. I wasn't really happy with the first three but the last two were pretty good if I say so myself. I bent over backwards to try and get the look she wanted and, even though I enjoy this hobby and I don't expect gushing praise, I do expect simple courtesy.

    I'm also in a really bad mood due to something unrelated so that might have had something to do with my lack of equanimity. Whatever, I hate rude people.

    Given what some people in the community charge for work it seems to me you are completely within your rights. You time is valuable, even if you're doing what you enjoy.

    Here's a handy tool somebody wrote.

    My girlfriend showed it to me. Was fun to run on my Psychology students.

    Surely you are within your rights to delete the artwork and I understand your frustration, but I feel like it punishes the rest of us more than her.

    Also, and this should probably be its own thread, but:
    Your consistency score: 2.05
    You're more inconsistent than 60% of the people who have used this tool.

    I told you guys I was a wild stallion rebel. Excuse me while I fetch my sunglasses from their numbered space on my dresser.
    Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
    America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.

  10. Default I WANT A PONY!

    Finally sucking it up and selling my older daughter's beautiful palomino paint horse since the younger one is clearly not going to ride anymore. Hated giving up my farm last fall and wheedling down to 2 horses already, but that's life in divorceeland. #firstworldproblems

    If you or anyone you know are into colored dressage ponies, give me a shout. And no, this horse is way too 'Merican and cheap for Ann Romney's tastes.
