I thought it might be fun to do a character poll and have it run for a few weeks! Next week I’ll start doing Patron suggested pinups. Direct link to the poll is here! https://strawpoll.com/xVg71mjopyr
When setting up the poll I didn’t realize strawpoll.me was shuttered by Fandom a few years ago. It sucks since it was a quick and easy way to get a poll up and running! Can’t have anything good in this world…
As I was looking around and figuring out how to go about doing the poll, the idea of people sending postcards with their poll choices came to mind. Considering there’s an international readership for Kat I ultimately decided to go with a simple polling website, but the idea stuck with me. Right now I’m debating on whether to get a PO Box and have a separate poll for postcard submitted answers along with sending stickers to anyone who sends in a postcard. But then beyond that maybe it could be a fun way to answer questions outside of just Patreon? Like Patron submitted questions would get a full blown Question episode but maybe I could post postcard questions as quick simple answers with a portrait or two and post it on Blue Sky and my website and junk, and then send that person a sticker. Maybe people send stuff for Kat and Maria to react to? Though I’m not super interested in people sending me packages and junk. I dunno. I’m letting it mull in my head and I’ll decide tomorrow or Saturday if I want to go through with it or not.
Hope you all had a nice halloween! My friends came over and we went to my apartment’s halloween part for a few hours before bouncing because we’re old and being in a crowd of drunk 20 somethings isn’t the greatest of times when you’re older. I did get plenty to drink and was tipsy by the end. Though honestly I could’ve easily gotten a better tipsy feeling if I went to the bodega and got this one canned cider drink for $4. The drinks at the party had a lot of ice in it. I also got a shitty hotdog but in that “I know I’m paying $3 for a shitty hotdog but dammit a shitty hotdog is exactly what I need right now” and it was satisfying.
Downside is my friend and I were unable to finish my Melfina costume, so I went without the poncho thingy. That and my wig was too short. But otherwise it was swell.
I also had a nice long weekend this weekend, having taken friday/monday/tuesday off from work. Friday I still had a bunch of Kat work to do so it wasn’t a full on day off, so really a 4 day weekend. And I don’t know about y’all, but it takes me a few days to truly feel relaxed on a long weekend. Like I didn’t get into a nice relaxation mode until yesterday afternoon when I went out and laid on a hammock and read some manga with a bottle of vanilla coke zero. Shit was BLISS! Weather was nice, vanilla coke zero in a 20oz bottle again was an nice surprise, and I reread some Comic Party which had me all going “YAY! COMICS! I LOVE MAKING COMICS!” Also bought and ate an entire large supreme pizza from Walmart. Totally worth it.
Wish I had a couple more days off to fully enjoy that restful feeling. Oh well. In a way I’m glad I went into work today. Got more cute stickers to slap on things that otherwise would have gone in the trash.
Anyway that’s all for this week. Bye beeeeeee~!
