What Blogging Is All About
I used up all aloted computer time tonight posting a comment to another (Joi Ito's) blog. Now that that is done, I only have enough time left to give you what you really want.
I am getting requests for more pictures of the birds, and I've got a lot of server space, but it's real hard to find something original. My apartment is only so big, and I can't really take them outside for a change of setting. I did however manage to catch Guri in mid-flight. Now that's what blogging is all about!
It's been over a week since I had a chance to parctice painting... I haven't even been doing my daily train sketch blog because I have been forced to actually do work on the trains instead because I have a couple of projects, all with deadlines at the end of this month.
To make things worse, one client asked earlier this month for some changes to the agreed upon specifications of a project I finished last month and billed for this month. We agreed to do the upgrade for free when my schedule opens up a bit next month, since it really wasn't such a big deal amd they have been a good client. Then today we get a phone call saying that they won't pay us this month for the original completed work because they consider it incomplete without the upgrade. And guess what... the contract can only be found in the archives of the salesman's head. Dang!
Comments
I was just wondering who is asking for pictures of the birds? There must be hundreds in you archives already. I'm not comlaining (I don't HAVE to look at them). Just surprised someone has such a fixation that a few hundred pics aren't enough.

Tomoe... do you want to handle Jon's question?
Just wait until Tomoe moves to Osaka next month... I'll be forced to post several hundred each day. Of course by that time, I can just start re-posting the photos from a few months ago and noone will be the wiser.

Do you know those parents who take millions of photos of their baby, but thinking not enough? What I am feeling now must be pretty much the same as that because of not seeing my "babies" for weeks. Sorry those who want to see more naked women!

Isn't it strange that Tomoe misses the birds so much that she wants to see dozens of photos every day, yet she never wants to see any pictures of Kevin? Kevin, if you didn't have the birds, Tomoe would dump you like a bad habit. Read the writing on the wall!
Kevin, you should try to turn this situation around. Start withholding bird pictures. Only post them with the condition that you receive some kind of favor; eE.g., thre pictures means she washes your dishes; 5 pictures, she washes you laundry, 20 pictures she cleans your appartment; etc. You'll have a lot more time to paint nudie women if you don't have to bother yourself with all those other chores.

I don't bother myself with those chores now...
