Oh bother.

Monday, June 17th, 2013

Hello. I’m about to lose my DVR and cell phone service because of… stuff and things. Short version: Evil Stepfather sucks at coin management.

Losing DVR I don’t mind so much since I can just torrent everything I want, but the phone… well, I can save the number via Google Voice, but just having one is a symbol, you know? Of my personal agency…

Before anyone says anything, this probably was going to happen even if I’d left earlier, so please resist going down that route. (If mother’s hysterics carry an ounce of credibility, I may be gone in the next month or so ANYWAY…)

I really hope this isn’t another bluff, like the many times mother has played at divorce, or we’re all going to look very silly tomorrow. As is, I don’t like reporting on most of the infighting I’m made to listen to because a lot of the divorce threats turn out to be empty BS, and I end up looking like I’m crying wolf.

Also I am lothe to say this, but I really do need help with the Magic Coin Block, more than I accounted for. I need to be pulling in at LEAST $20 a month to fend off vital service fees. I’ve been trying to troll for commissions but that’s not happening as much as I want, so… argh, time to pass the Block around for any direct aid. Anything in increments of $20 gets you a credit towards a SD Single Gourmet Ramen commission, first-come first serve. The paypal ya want is ayarane [ AT ] adelphia.net if you can…

I think above all else, I have to not look upset or anything of the sort. Mother is easily agitated right now and the last thing I need is more lecturing of her to dropkick me back into a depressive funk, because Extremely Sad Yoshi = not doing any painting = interferes with commissions = not making money. FML doesn’t even BEGIN to describe the mess in my head.

(Yoshi Suggests) Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013

Pizza Hut rolled out their new event item today, so of course I had to loot it. The Crazy Cheesy Crust looks like a variation of the Cheesy Bites, but is a different beast in itself. The wells look like what would happen if the bite pockets burst open from overload. :P

The cheese wells on the crust don’t quite lend themselves to being easily plucked off, like the Cheesy Bites. Eat it like a normal pizza– hell, the crust wells lend themselves to the usual eating method. I got my pizza with pepperoni and added extra cheese, but even without the added cheese you’re getting a lot of cheese in this pie (obviously). If you’re like me and loot the fried mozzarella sticks as a side item, you may want to skip on that this time, because even I would consider that a bit overkill. Yeah.

(I did, however, get the garlic parmesan boneless wings. That stuff is just… omg…)

So, all that said, is this good pizza? Well, of course. It’s not a “Yoshi Suggests” post if I wasn’t endorsing it. It’s chewy and juicy and oily and everything that’s horrible and therefore awesome that you would expect from a novelty event pizza like this. >:D As much as Papa Johns is my all-time favorite overall, I gotta give Pizza Hut points for playing with the crust, even if it doesn’t always work out.

(WIP) Sneaky Birthday

Monday, April 1st, 2013


As much as it looks like I do him all the time, it’s actually been quite some time since I’ve drawn some Numair. It’s my birthday, all you haters can piss off! >:P

I need work/portfolio fodder way more than I need loot, so if you were even thinking of loot/cookie-bombing me, you may want to consider hiring me for some Gourmet Ramen instead. You get purdy pictures, I get some coin and more material for my portfolio (aside from my pile of OCs), everyone wins! :D Besides, the games I want– DuckTales Remastered and Tales of Xillia– don’t drop until summertime anyway.

If you’re wondering, I get a cat-themed cake. Of course, mother went and put my original name on there, otherwise I’d be posting/tweeting it all over and I don’t need any sass about my birth name, thank you.

At some point today I need to swap out one of Blastoise’s case fans, so I can set him up for livestreaming without worry of overworking the rest of his cooling measures. Otherwise, just another day of painting and being lazy in WoW. :P
